fridayyyyyyyy.. to all u idiots who are all TGIF juz shaddap n have some pity for the poor souls who have to work on saturdays. I wish i had a job where i only need to work like a 4 n a half day week.. and that pays me many money at the same time.. i'm so not meant for the working world.. i hate hate hate formal wear.. i usally go to work in jeans n 3/4s n SLIPPERS ha.. one of the plus points of my job i guess :)

Met sumi darlin for dinner today like finalllyyyyyyyyyy! We've been saying that we need to have a reunion for the longest time but with both our busy*ahem* social lives it juz neva worked out.. untilllll i read her blog n saw that she had the same gorgeous guess bag as meeee.. u know, the last one that i bought.. so OF COURSE we had to get together for a matching guess bag dinner party haha.. we made plans for today evening at ricciotti.. an Italian restuarant/deli/pastry place that has the yummiest looking desserts. Its right next to riverwalk tandoor and we've both been walking past the place since we were like.. in friggin ngee ann haha.. but neither of us has eaten there b4 and u know how i love tryin out new places right.. needless to say i was super excited :)

Our theme for the night was red.. but Sumi cheated n the only red she wore was red nail polish.. unlike me i went quite psycho with the red top and accessories haha.. and of course our yummy guess bags.. so high school i know :) On to the food.. we got calamari to share ($15.80), Sumi got crabmeat linguine (24.80), i got salmon panini(14.80) and we got a glass of white dessert wine each ($12).. omg the wine is my new favourite wine! When i was in oz i fell in love with "late harvest" by Houghtons and i was lookin for it high and low in singapore but i doubt they carry it here.. but the dessert wine i had today tasted almost exactly like the late harvest one! Soooo yummyy.. i would have gotten another glass but am trying to budget la.. and I wasn't even high.. i guess its not a very strong wine.. and if I'M saying its not a very strong wine you can bet ur last dollar it isnt cuz i'm the most un-alcoholic person around.. really.. i usually get high after like 3/4 way through my ONE glass of wine. Its not something i'm exactly proud of but i guess i save alot of money that way huh haha..

Ok enough about the superb wine.. food was quite yummy too.. i tried abit of Sumi's linguine.. i liked it more than the one i tried at marmalade pantry.. my salmon was really good too but i like eating my sandwiches with ketchup.. and the nice lady serving us said that unfortunately they don't serve ketchup as they are a traditional italian restaurant and offered me some authentic tomato sauce.. pomodero i think it's called? It was alright i guess.. think my sandwich would have been yummier with AUTHENTIC ketchup :)

Calamari.. actualli i wasnt a fan of the calamari.. but i'm very very fussy about my calamari so don't trust my judgement. The portions were pretty alright.. not too big not too small.. calamari portion thought for 15.80 i thought it was quite small.. the one at Outback is about the same price and the portion size is really like a main on its own heh.. and yummmyy.. i love outback calamari.. n im NOT bein biased :)

Sumi is so funny la.. she was saying how she's damn hungry cuz she was saving space for dinner n din really eat lunch.. but she didnt even finish her pasta.. .. and I on the other hand was saying how im not so hungry cuz i had quite a filling lunch and i wanted to get something small at ricciotti.. well not only was my salmon panini not "something small".. i ended up eating all of it.. it was very very filling.. oh well juz goes to show wat a pig i am.

And of course we got dessert.. i got the sicilian cassata ($8.50) not too sure if the spelling is right, and Sumi got the soffiato ($8.90), the one with "the stuff that oozes out" in her words more or less haha.. i think she either traumatised or turned on the waiter with that comment haha. Of course in btwn this food fest we were filling each other in on the last lyk million years of our lives.. and reminiscing about the (sometimes not so good) old days.. damn funny la.. we really had our fair share of psycho moments together.

All in all i had a blast.. and i was really expecting nothing less from the company of the sexy mama.. and we took our first pic today!
The first in our 7 years of friendship.. though i still find that hard to believe.. haha.. Sumi i think we might have ONE undohfied clubbing pic from a million years ago somewhere la.. i think.. my instincts are telling me so haha.. yay.. yummy dinners and company make ragi a happy camper :)
