Cheapskate + Picky = Me ??

I finally had a chance to dine at Pariss international buffet as a means of celebrating my birthday belatedly with my family after suffering a bad case of oral ulcer a couple of weeks back. I did patronised the outlet at Marina once 2 years ago and admittedly the gastronomical experience was indeed satisfying, yet perhaps my expectations were thus raised for my 2nd visit was to be fairly ordinary.To be honest, I was initially looking forward to it, in particular the fresh oysters. The mere thought of it seems more than sufficient to cause me to salivate then. However, I was slightly disappointed this time round as the oysters were not as appealing as I had imagined them to be and to top it off, there was a limit placed on the amount we were allowed to take due to a shortage of supplies. For the record, I am neither a food connoisseur nor am I attempting to criticise the outlet as the staff were all friendly and helpful, rather it was a mere after thought on means of improvement, after all Singapore's F&B industry are gearing towards providing quality service, aren't we ?

Anyway for close friends who know me..." value for money" is something closely associated to my personality...that explains the above rambles.


I will be starting on my first job tomorrow and having gone through interviews and rejections thereafter, I think I may finally realise the comforts of the cocoon I was living in all these years should never be taken for granted. Making a living sometimes require one to have more than just grades and hard work...sometimes honesty may just cause one's downfall...
