Princess...stop laughing.I mean it...seriously...
STOP LAUGHING...
I would like to state for the record that I hate slightly bulbous, hard brown rocks that are too light to fly through the air when hit by a vehicle but heavy enough to smash through plastic. I would also like to state for the record that if I ever see another rock like that, it will be crushed into millions of tiny pieces as penance for what one of its kind did to my beloved car.
Ok, here's what happened.
Time: 6:17pm
Location: Farrer Road, in the direction of Queensway, under the overhead bridge at the Circle Line construction site.
Victim: Black 2006 Toyota Wish
Perpetrator: Hard, brown rock; slightly bulbous.
Known Accomplices: Unknown vehicle travelling in opposite direction.
Report on what happened:
Victim was travelling along said road at aforementioned time at the legal speed limit. As victim was approaching exact location, Perpetrator, aided in part by Accomplice, flew through the air heading directly for the victim. As victim deemed it too dangerous to attempt evasive manouveres, victim decided to take the brunt of the hit.
Accomplice fled scene soon after.
Perpetrator, in a swift, almost deliberate motion, smashed through the bottom left hand corner of victim's front license plate, thus smashing the lining and releasing the plate to the mercy of traffic.
Plate died on impact. Body not found.
Victim continued on journey to fetch Princess(Not involved in incident other than laughing her head off and trying to console victim).
Damage not assessed and realized until penultimate destination (Eatzi) achieved.
Outcome:
Temporary plate attached.
Rear Plate traumatised by incident and requires constant monitoring and counselling.
Front Plate's body cannot be retrieved due to unknown position of rest and condition. Also, traffic situation may not permit a retrieval mission.
Perpetrator still at large. All known relatives to be executed with extreme prejudice.
Accomplice is still unknown though fleeting witness (Patrick) can confirm it was a silver vehicle.
Any witnesses who wish to come forward with any information can do so through this blog. No rewards; you'll have to feel good for yourself.
The family of Front License Plate of Toyota Wish would like to thank:
Patrick, for his swift actions and attempts to save their kin's life.
Princess, for laughing and making Patrick feel bad but making a really good attempt to console him after.
Family requests that no donations and wreaths be made out to them. If donations persist, please send them to Patrick. Wreaths are to be burned cos they have no frickin' value. Thank you.
I hope you've enjoyed that.. o_O
Anyway, Nur and I went to Eatzi to have dinner earlier. Its close to her place so time wasn't so much of a problem.
It is WAAAAAAAAAAY better than previously-(un)mentioned "Undressed Sea Creatures Shoppe". Abit on the expensive side but considering we both had a main course plus a seafood platter in a pan, it was quite good.
Ambience was great, though Princess was shivering when we first entered. Its a nice cozy spot and entrance was bright and welcoming while interior evoked a sense of warmth and coziness.
Service was excellent with prompt service and equally fast serving time. A word of note though, please bring along cash or a credit/debit card as the outlet does not have any NETS transaction abilities.
Food-wise, I guess it was okay. Presentation left something to be desired plus it was a tad dry. I had the NZ Lamb Chops while Princess had her usual fish. I urged her to take the Salmon but she insisted on the normal grilled fish.
Firstly, Lamb Chops was three succulent pieces of meat of the usual size. In the menu, the selection of meats are presented with a scale for how the customer wishes for them to be prepared. I left it to my waiter to make the decision and he returned with a plate of medium rare chops. They were a tad dry and the meat has a certain mutton-y taste but otherwise I believe it is fresh and the fat was grilled to near perfection. Dish was served with some grilled carrots and brocolli(which I promptly put on Nur's plate) and a side of fries.
Princess' Grilled Fish was the typical Dory fillet. Portion seemed a tad small. But otherwise was served with same sides as the chops. Review from her blog please?
We shared a seafood platter in a pan. I think this is the best entree you could order. It costs $12 and offers up a variety of deep-fried seafood sides. You could order them individually but they cost $4 a side so this was value for money. In the pan you get a few pieces of deep-friend and breaded fish pieces, scallops, sotong balls, shrimps (which I gave to Nur cos I'm allergic), calamari rings, onion rings and fries. The portion, if eaten as a main dish, would be sufficient for one but as an accompaniment, was perfect.
Princess had her Cafe Mocha and I had a simple Snapple Apple. Price was about right for such drinks and there is a free flow of iced or warm water for those who prefer it. We didn't try the dessert but I did buy for Nur a slice of Chocolate Mousse and American Cheesecake. You'll have to wait for her review for that also.
Overall I guess it was a nice experience and a definite step up from our experience at the previous outing.
But you know what was best? =)
The company. I love spending time with Nur. She deserves to be treated like a princess.
Here's an Eric Clapton song, which I feel embodies what I always want to tell her:
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight."
And here's the video:
=)
Stop laughing, Nur.
I still love, Nur.
