the little things..: Siegfried in Singapore!

Siegfried is in Singapore!! woots~!~! :D

He's my mum's friend, hence a family friend... He took care of jie and I when we went over to Germany for exchange and whenever he's here mum will take care of him. (:

So anyway, I haven't seen him for two years now and I'm so glad to see him again! :D He took really good care of Jared and I when we were in Germany.. He fetched us from the airport and got us settled in.. He brought us to visit the towns of Weinheim and Schwetzingen. He also took us along to a gathering with his friends where we experienced our first true blue german-style bbq by the riverside. Not forgetting his invitation to stay at his parents' house, which bordered on the edge of a forest where we got to pick cherries in the wild, and climb up old-school tree-houses and all. There was even deer in the backyard at night!

Here are some pictures from our visit in Germany in 2008..

Touring in Schwetzingen and Weinheim..

After all that he has done for us in Germany, it was nice to be able to return the favour.. albeit small in comparison, but still something ahaha...

So he's staying at my place now and we have really stocked up food for him to make him feel comfortable, and on top of that, Jared and I brought him out to lunch today! (:

We went to a vegetarian restaurant at Holland Village called Original Sin.

The restaurant.. Ambience was kinda nice and chill. ;)

There was a buffet table for the starters.. Mainly a lot of greens, with olives, feta cheese, potatoes, japanese style grilled eggplant, etc. I'm a carnivore so this was a kind of hell for me ahahah.

Here's my plate and Siegfried's plate. Can see the difference? :P

Minestrone Soup.. It was one of the worst I have ever eaten. I think i poured like one spoonful of salt into it. I'm not used to a super sweet Minestrone Soup.. I like it salty and very clear...

Here's us.. Siegfried has a better picture in his camera. I will grab it from him soon before he leaves!

This was my dish.. Some portebello thingy. i cannot remember but it was nice.. at first. But I'm really not cut out to be vegetarian.. =X

Tandori Skewers. Jared and Siegfried both ordered this.. I didn't try it so don't know how was it, but Jared and Siegfried finished everything (unlike me) so I'm guessing it was good. :P

Dessert was plain ol simple Vanilla Ice Cream. This one was nice vanilla ice cream.. and it had black dots in them! (i think that vanilla ice cream with black dots in them taste better than others :D)
