X'mas 2005 Wishlist from HMV
I was supposed to meet Ms. Joyes for dinner last nite. She was held up at work, and I'm left to spend sometime alone. Visited HMV at Citylink to browse around. After browsing through the shelves once, I've found so many things that I wanted. (hmm...) Too bad, I can't afford them all, but I WANT THEM ALL! So, for the convinence of Santa (or nice people out there), I decided to walk through a second round and take some pics. With my pics and introduction, think I've helped Santa decide what to get for me this X'mas. So thoughtful of me, right? Minus one headache off him! What makes me even more thoughtful was that, I've even make sure the prices are shown clearly in my pics. This helps him to be double sure of which to get for me. (hahaha...) Thanks in advance!
Item 01) The Adventures of TinTin DVD, (S$94.95)
I'm no big fan of TinTin. But, TinTin coloured comics are what I read when I was much younger. Another reason I like this is because, the box looks so cool!
Item 02) Stevie Wonder Greatest Hits CD, (S$18.95)
Don't you just love his songs?
Item 03) The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds CD (S$18.95)
Oh My God, this is a classic. One of the best Beach Boys CD around, not to be missed by any Beach Boys lovers out there!
Item 04) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory VCD (S$14.95)
Ya, I know, you must had "duh..." Yes, I missed the movie in cinemas. And I guess this is the next best I can get. I've chosen the VCD because its more economical for Santa. But, please check with me if you want to get me this, as I might just buy it myself soon.
Ms Joyes came soon after. Went to FIN @ Marina square for dinner. She had Seafood spaghetti while I had Squid Ink Linguine. I thought her spaghetti was so so lor... The spaghetti tasted like common yellow noodles with tomatoes, but I should say their seafood was fresh. My Squid Ink Linguine was BLACK! The linguine looks painted with black poster colour. It was just the Black inked linguine with some fried calamari on top. It sounds simple, but the linguini was super delicious, even Ms Joyes thought so. We were so hungry that I forgot to take any pics. After eating, my lips and mouth were all black. (My poo poo this morning also super black!) Fun and unique thing to eat, a must try!
After dinner, we went over to Hagen Daaz at Esplanade for Fondue! Both of us were quite full, so we shared a 1 person serving Fondue. There's 12 small fishball shaped ice cream, some cut green apples, strawberries and banana and of course the chocolate sauce in the middle. The ice cream served was Dark chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Coffee. My Favourite was Coffee, and least liked was the strawberry ice cream. Somehow, Ms Joyes felt totally opposite of me. She liked the strawberry ice cream and thought Coffee was bitter. (hmm...) Half way through, Ms Joyes reminded me to take picture. So here's one by her request.
After the ice cream, we ate the fruits. Banana was the best, it really complements the chocolate sauce well. (Soft, smooth, sweet. ) The strawberries tasted ok, but it was sour. The green apple was worst! It clash with the chocolate sauce and spoils the taste. When having fondue, you're expecting soft and sweet stuff in your mouth, not sour and cruchy chucks of green apples. Eeeww!! Remember to strike green apples off when you order fondue next time.
