Today is a good day. Woke up earlier, at about 8. L woke up with cramps and fell asleep at the sofa outside. Lunch started the day at Garibaldi, with an impressive ala-carte buffet. It never fails to impress, italian style. Had 2 rounds of oysters, there was burrata as well, poached prawns, pasta of fusili with alio olio tossed with bacon and brocollini. very delicious. lunch was booked at 12 with S too, last pour was 2.30, by the time we took the taxi was 3. Went straight to zhongshan, did grocery shopping, and before we knew it,it was 5pm. i managed to squeese in a quick shut-eye before heading out at 6.30pm for the presentation on BB at orchard parade hotel. It was actually another committees NY dinner, but they had arranged for us to present. it was set for 15 persons, and there was a member of parliement there who gave a long speech. Even Tay Kheng Soon turned up, which was unusual, but by the time we got to presenting it was quite late that everyone was kinda hungry. so i couldnt tell if they had any thoughts actually. it was great however, to be part of something so current. In the evening, still full from lunch, i had my second miso-soup and we watched "LadyBird". About adolescence and struggling with parental love. Eventful day.
