fruitful saturday...

what a fruitful and awesome saturday...
at noon, i went to princess's elise baby shower at chili padi restaurant @ heng mui keng. it was a great meal as well as a meet up session with my xerox ex-colleagues and friends.

after which, went to COMEX and got a digital camera for mum and dad. bought a Fujifilm A170 and it was great bargain!! i'm sure they'll have a great time playing with their new toy...

later, attended La Patria by NUS Symphony Orchestra at the national library.
overall, it was quite a good show, repertoire selection was great. I loved 'Polovtsian Dances' the most. I thought it was very well performed, and the dynamics was very well expressed. 'Sketches of Singapore' was rather disappointing though. I think the wind section brought down the whole song. there were so many broken notes and that tempo was all over the place, especially when the wind section took up their solo part in 'Rasa Sayang'. 'Dance of the Yao People' was not too bad as well and i enjoyed it. i can say it's actually one of my most familiar orchestra pieces, so shan't be too critical about it, though i thought the percussionists were a little bit too reserved.

lastly at night, went for ice cream dessert at Udders. sam brought me there for the first time last sunday and i totally fell in love with their ice cream. so this time round i've decided to bring the girls to try it for themselves. we ordered rum raisin, earl grey, strawberry, lychee martini and vanilla beanz. phew...all tasted heavenly!
rum rum raisin: the rum was super strong and the taste was wholesome!!! earl grey: it tasted soooo authentic strawberry fields: i love this the MOST!!! it's made from real fresh strawberries, and it was sooo refreshing. i can have the whole pint to myself!!! VaMilla: down-to-earth and all time favourite vanilla flavour lychee martini: not too strong, just nice and light for my taste bud



last but not least, the ultimatum was MAO SHAN WANG DURIAN!!! how do i describe the taste? mmmm.... it tasted exactly like frozen durian!! u actually can feel the pulp and they dun stinge on the ingredients. that's how good their ice creams are.



besides their great tasting ice-creams, the service crew's very energetic and service was superb! for more information, you can visit their website @ http://udders.com.sg/ . thumbs up!
