Went to church. Drove grandma to hawker centre. Had lunch at Bistro Cameleon (sister’s most favourite restaurant of the season). Went to the new SICC driving range. Had a lousy dinner there. Now watching The Sixth Sense. Maybe the spooks in the house will get something out of this. Choi choi choi!
More news, around the world:
Bee Gees singer dies. Maurice Gibb, 53, passed away after an intestinal operation in Miami.
1205 Roman Catholic priests investigated in sex scandals involving over 4000 victims. A cardinal sin and a crying shame. 4 out of 5 victims are male.
Saddam’s son uses Yahoo! and Microsoft mail accounts. Now: if they monitor Uday’s email, would that justify the breach in US trade law?

    I was fortunate to gain a sneak preview of the [new exhibition at the Peranakan Museum](http://www.peranakanmuseum.sg/) along Armenian Street, courtesy of the curator. My family donated some items so we were given a private tour.

  1. Oooh where are all these restaurants that you mentioned? I’ve never heard of Bistro Chameleon or Mama Lucia. So suaku. ;P

  2. It’s spelt Cameleon. It’s a Japanese restaurant at Robertson Walk (yes I go there very often). They use organic ingredients and each dish is unusual: Teriyaki chicken pizza, kimchi noodles, cold tomato soba, sashimi salad… I should bring you there one day. They give a free drink with each main course during lunch, so we can wash our food down with a cold Sapporo beer 🙂
    Mamma Lucia’s is brand new, near the front of the building. Their pasta is priced in the mid teens. I see a lot of Italians eating there now.

  3. Oh so Cameleon is Japanese. Hmmm…methinks we’ll be visiting one of those places at the next dinner outing! *wink wink nudge nudge*
