Todai Restaurant at Marina Bay Sands Singapore

ABBEY: Todai restaurant offers buffet of Korean, Chinese,  Japanese, and Singaporean cuisine. We visited them last March at The Shoppes@Marina Bay Sands along with our housemates. 

As usual, we come at the exact time. Never waste a minute during buffets :) 

As starter, I had chicken karaage and fries; the chicken was crispy and juicy. Next, I indulge in salmon sashimi and inari. Then I got some skinny pizza and pasta along with chunk of pork belly and slice of steak. The meat was juicy and moist. I repeated the process until I'm full :) 

Since Todai is celebrating Korean Strawberry Festival when we doned in, we got a complimentary strawberry shake. One person costs 68sgd for a Sunday dinner with free flow of drinks.



















WILL: Are you craving for sushi and yet your sweet tooth is kicking also? One plate or two serving will not satisfy your drooling? Todai will be the answer for you.

After Abbey bought his dream iPad mini on the first IT Show of 2014, we immediately headed to Todai to meet up our housemates for the dinner. 

Hastily went for tempura. Then I attacked their sushi. They are the best. 
The chefs really thought really hard for their masterpieces. Over and over and over, I ate those sushis. Haha. I also got one round of fresh oysters. 

Hail to their great pyramid of macarons. I really make my tummy full of those and I partnered it with a tea. 

Thanks to our housemates for inving us for a dinner. Till next, next month guys!

Nike Flyknit Airmax 2014 - His and Her Shoes

ABBEY: My classmates during my elementary days used to discuss and boast about their shoes. That was the time Airmax was added in my vocabulary. But still I'm not keen on buying one since that was too expensive. Being blessed and having some change to spare, I got the red 2013 Airmax; very comfortable. 

So as a gift to Wil, I planned to buy her a pair. Only I came to know when I was about to buy that they have released their Flyknit version. Since the 2014 airmax color is pale, I ended up buying Flyknit with the striking colors :) She was surprised but I got the more of it when I went home and saw I have my own. Still the same comfort is there but more air and lightness on the shoes.





WILL: I am puzzled when Abbey always tells me that his 2013 airmax gave him a such comfort and he suggested that I should buy one in replacement of my 2 year old running shoes. I affirmed the idea but I know that I am not ready to splurge on things like this. 


Before Hearts' day of 2014 came, husband gave me the 2014 Nike Flyknit Airmax. Instead to give thanks, face-to-face asked him how much it costs, he answered "Mura lang.". Then I say my thank you after his response.

Everytime I wear my new shoes, Abbey always admires the color. And I really sensed that he likes to have one too. Haha!

300: Rise of an Empire

ABBEY: As the story of the first installation ended up in raising an army to defeat Xerxes, the sequel turned back the time to show where he came from. He came to power to avenge his father's death, King Darius. Armed with mystical power by transforming into a "God-King" he commanded Artemisia (Eva Green) to rally a battle at the sea against the Athenians. 

They suffered loss against the Greeks led by Themistocles. Artemisia even offered the second in command rank to him but he declined. She mustered more troops to fight them. The Persians could have won if not for the reinforcement of Spartans of Queen Gorgo. Then the rest is history. Kindly refer to the Battle of Salamis. 

Lesson from Xerxes : You have the power. You have money. You're a God-King and you have Artemisia. Enjoy what you have than go to war :)



WILL: I am a fan of war movies. I love see surprises on every attack of different side. If you want me to be with inside a movie theater look for a genre of film like this. 


I watched 300 and of course I was delighted to know that there's a part 2. 300: Rise of an Empire gave me shivers. While watching, I confessed to myself that this is the movie I always wanted. Themistocles and Artemesia fought in the Battle of Artemisium. 

After Eva Green laid on the arms of death, film was also ended. Then I was disappointed! My question is, which empire is on the rise in this film?
