RowdyRudy and i celebrated our 1st Friend-iversary last week.
I know right, how cute is that.
It’s the mark of the FIRST time we went out drinking with each other at Terrace Bar last year, followed by how we can talk to each other for hours, and the beginning of many trips since then.

At first he was getting emo cos i was so caught up with work, i (almost) forgot it…

>.<

To make up for it, i thought through where we should have a special dinner and made reservations for Sage @ The Gardens
I didn’t want to eat in any restaurant cos (yes we’re quite spoilt) and eat in places like that on a regular basis
And Sage, newly-opened and by the same chef as Cilantro, was a great place to eat
– new, classy and fine dining

RowdyRudy got me a card.
I suck cos i didn’t get him anything >.<

We went with the Sage Dinner, which is RM140 nett per person (i think… my memory is quite fail)
for a starter, main course, dessert and coffee
It’s all Japanese + French fusion

I had foie gras (LOVE!) for my starter
And cod for my main

My cod was quite nice
But RR’s lamb was much better
So going to order it next time

Sorry. Took a picture AFTER he ate it -.-

Love the food
We had almost the same expressions on our faces as when we ate in Mozaic, Bali
Of course, cannot beat Mozaic la :p

Wine list is extensive
We had one and a half bottles of some shiraz (which name i cannot pronounce nor remember)

The quiet restaurant, impeccable service and gorgeous food contributed to a perfect friend-iversary
It was the first time we caught up since our cruise
And we managed to go back to old conversation
Bonding about love, life, relationships (or lack of it), and aspirations for the future
Yeah, really heavy emo stuff

At times, we do realise that we may not always be as close friends in the future
And there have been brief phases where i felt we were drifting apart
Cos we’re so close that we fight, merajuk or get impatient with each other
So that night was really nice to know that we still have that same closeness from before

Happy Friend-niversary dear 

Sage is at Midvalley, Gardens Residences
Basically it’s the 6th floor on the Isetan side
Take a lift up, and look around for the inconspicuous sign
Have to call for reservations (as i went back there for coffee at 6pm last weekend and they were full for dinner reservations 0_0)
Tel: 03 2268 1188

Do read other posts by the food bloggers
They have MUCH better pictures and desciptions than my half past six one :p

Black Tie White Lie

     

Came early for me this year.

     

“i said what i had to say, because those shine in your eyes no longer flicker as they do before.
and the words i said, were the exact words that came from you when i was numbing myself from the pain i was going through a year or two ago.

babe, we’ve swapped roles.
we’re both caught.
but it is just temporary.

we’ll be just fine.

and please, the next time around…….
we shouldn’t be telling each other how tired we are,
but how happy we’ve been.

promise?

or else, i’ll post up your picture from 12 yrs ago
alongside with that diary we shared.”

Hate you for making me cry -_-

I promise la ok…
That i’ll slow down
Not be so distracted
Tired
Running all over the place

     

We all swear to our little black dresses.
Hell, i have about 15 in my closet.

At times, we don’t want to dress up in them cos it seems the occasion isn’t right, or you want a bit more colour to flash.

Well this Sunday is the PERFECT excuse to pull on your favourite LBD again.

For all fashionistas, get with your girlies, dress up, make up and come to Chic CODE’s last event.

Roxy of sevendays and Nurita Harith will be displaying some of their best LBDs for sale there, first come first serve! SarChan and i will be preparing a selection to play (party on Sunday afternoon!) and i’m planning to go all happy crazy… cos Monday’s a public holiday! Hope to see you there 😉

For all sorts of things

The way i run things when it comes to work

i think i’m not doing things properly
cos things *should* be so much easier/less time-consuming
there’s never enough time for me to finish everything
there’s never a day/night i can leave work thinking, “i’m DONE”
cos it’s never done
i think i have no more life

The way i take care of my health

I never really gave a shit about my health before
Cos i always think, “Arh, i’m young, my body can take it, bla bla bla”
Till i went to the doctor’s on Monday and did a major overhaul

I got my throat and fever checked on
Then told her about my skin problems that have recently arisen
She said it’s eczema and prollie due from stress
I was like, “hmm okay, i’ve heard that before, i can take it”
cos hey, stress can be managed, it’s just a matter of thought

I got a PAP smear done
cos i haven’t got one since last year

Then i got a vaccine for prevention against cervical cancer
because every female should get one
and no matter how busy you are (like i am!)
you really SHOULD get your shots for it
admittedly it’s not cheap
RM400 per shot and one has to take 3 shots to complete the process
i was like, “DAMN. That’s a pair of shoes!!!”

:p

What else
Oh, then she inquired about my drinking
“How much do you drink?” she asked, due to certain medication i was being prescribed that does not go well with alcohol
“…. …. …  you mean… every day? … or like, per week?” i stammered, sounding like the absolute bimbo
“You drink every day? Then how much every day?”

Damn. I feel utter guilt admitting to her how much
Even though inside, i feel quite bangga that the amount is nothing like last time
“… Er, two three glasses a day..?”

After pap smear, cervical cancer vaccine, and all that
She told me that i have high blood pressure
Her words: Hmm. You have high blood pressure. You must take care… bla bla bla *goes on about precautions i have to consider*
Me in thought: High blood pressure?! I’m 25!! How can i have high blood pressure?!!!

Anyway, back to my points:

Enjoying time with friends

I got some really impactful smss and face-to-face talks from friends
whom i’ve been close to in the past year
saying how i’ve been different, a shadow, not in touch with emotions
theirs and mine

admittedly, i know i’m very impatient when people call me when i’m at work
i don’t have time
i don’t have time for petty talk
chitter chatter
for me, it’s just say what you want to say, it’d better be important, and get on with it

and i feel bad
cos i didn’t use to be like this last time
I was more carefree, talkative, and giving, in terms of time and self satisfaction

“You must not always think of the money, or else you’ll never stop.
“…………..”
++++++++++=

Hmm okay after all that writing, i forgot what my point was
Anyhoo, i had a great night ending with Deep and DreadlockedHenry making sure i’s okay.

I love them!
