10.00 - Facial
2.00 - At Plaza Damas
2.30 - Lunch at Izakaya Ichiban *click* Nice little Japanese restaurant which has just opened recently. Lunch for both for us, came up to RM98++, not bad for a great meal.
3.15 - Walked around Hartamas Shopping Mall.
3.30 - At SquareRoom *click* which housed 20 quirky clothes vendors. Some of the brands like: Purple Cow, Furry Tails, Qui, C'cille, etc.
4.30 - Went into Balalaca and came out with 2 pairs of shoes

Joooi also housed in Balalaca

This is a wedged pair

These sparkled flatties which I can never have enough of.
As of now, I have 7 pairs of these in different colors. 3 pairs of silvers (i like to rotate wearing them incase they get worn out easily if i wear 1 pair too often)

Saja

4.45 - Spotted at this little corner, rattan-ish products made into small baskets, laundry bags, boxes, bags, etc. I loved it! If Mr Tay wasn't around, I would have gotten the laundry basket which came with a cover top. (it was RM75). These rattan-ish products are weaved so beautifully into with many many color combinations and in the end I got myself a RM20 holder.

i 'need' this to hold altogether my toiletries. mainly my facial products

5.10 - Mr Tay and I went on a slow drive checking out houses in Hartamas. Nice quiet neighbourhood.
5.30 - Back home. Resumed Prison Break.
8.00 - At The Curve. Met up with Gary Ah Beng and wife for dinner at

the apartment

My thoughts on this newly opened eatery at The Curve:

Located at the very same spot where Slippery Senoritas used to be. Opposite Sakae Sushi to be exact. the apartment is owned by the very same people who brought you TGIF, Laundry Bar, and Italiannies. Spotted Keith inside the bar, who first started at TGIF, then Laundry and now the apartment. Also spoke briefly to Nicol, the owner's son who mentioned that this new place has opened since Monday. I used to work with Keith and Nicol at TGIF, 1 Utama during my college years  And guess what, Nicol's family currently tapaoed the whole end lot of The Curve at The Street area, having Laundry, Italiannies and the apartment.

Mr Tay had Jamie's Pasta (some bolognaise sauce pasta tossed with duck and baked aubergines) - wasn't that good.

Gary had some very simple pasta cooked olio style - wasn't that good either.

Both Shanice and I had Baked Cod Fish - it was ok.

Dessert - Mr Tay and I had Baked Moist Chocolate Pudding and this was the bomb!!! Try it! Gary and Shanice ordered some fruit flambe thingy cooked in brandy sauce, which wasn't that great.

Overall I would say the food wasn't much to shout about. BUT having said that, I love love love the decos and concept of the restaurant. Simplicity at its best! As the name the apartment suggests, it was indeed done up looking very much like an apartment. Overall there's an outside "patio", the living room, bar area, bathrooms, kitchen, lounge, a reading nook and even an upstairs, complete with a wardrobe!

And the menu. Gosh, I love it. Easily, one of the many creative menu presentations I've seen so far. Most restaurants use expensive paper as their menus, some even use glossy ones but at the apartment, they use .... kertas grid  Yes, you heard me right, kertas grid. Remember how we used kertas grid to draw our graphs for Add Maths, Physics, Chem or Bio? Ya, the exact kertas grid. Cute! And they even have hand-drawn graphics on them which really adds to the whole quirkiness of it.

I noticed that each table has a herb plant. And each herb plant varies from one table to another. Our table had parsley which smelt so good. A bit like the Jamie Oliver's concept of obtaining fresh herbs within a hand's reach to add into your cooking. So imagine, if I thought my pasta could do with a little bit of parsley, I could just pluck some, fresh from my table top! Haha.

Would I go back? Definitely. Not for the food but the ambience and I have yet to dine 'upstairs'. Apparently, this is a 2-storey apartment  And all the waiters are decked in cute pink t-shirts!

If I were to describe the apartment in one word: koOky

10.30 - Went to IKEA with Gary and Shanice. The married couple bought TWO Billy bookcases. Huge ass stuff which needed IKEA's transportation.
11.15 - Back home. Continued Prison Break.
01.00 - Our Prison Break journey ended. NO MORE  The season finale ended with Michael arriving at this Sona place which looked like some science laboratory and MAN, WE SERIOUSLY HOPE THAT IT WOULD NOT TURN INTO BLOODY SCI-FI!!!

Seriously, how can you turn Prison Break into Sci-Fi?! It's just not right! It's looking kinda like there's some weird experiments going on at Sona. So we're crossing 20 fingers and 20 toes that it won't be sci-fied!

Very kan cheong...
