the entry mons

i'm never that much of an epicurist, so when it boils down to fine-shitez-dining, i am pretty much alicia silverstone circa clueless days. cutlery placement, goblet codification, and the pretentious petite nosh displayed in an aesthetically albeit inexplicable composition, i had to play pretend throughout the entire session.

just to backtrack a little for the misinformed, i was invited to a posh restaurant for a luncheon, exorbitant et al, because, well, i had the providence of being the achiever in the top three producers in prudential. so, it was meant to be, that i plumped my ass at one of the fanciful eatery du jour, fifty-three, where they served modern euro cuisine. setting-wise, it was perfect, but i am never much of a conversationalist when it comes to such affairs. so my pictures did the talking. here's some:


exquiste feed at fifty-three with colleagues




no, it's not a footrest, but a bag rest for the ladies.






did i mention it was pretentious?


ever wondered what it's like to be caricatured? i've got one of myself and my friends vellene and hock yong. courtesy of chivas!

haha, I love your blog. It's seems you are trying too hard to speak Victorian English that it seems a little too unnatural. what does "pretentious petite nosh displayed in an aesthetically albeit inexplicable composition" mean...All I know is that you need a dictionary/thesaurus beside you 24/7 to help with this massacring of the English language. Aiyoh, you only educated in NUS, not in Oxford or Harvard...I even know Shengwu Li(LKY grandson) FYI, double first class honours...he doesn't speak or write like this...

iruffcookiedough said...

(anon) thanks for your feedback regarding my victorian english. it seems that by relation of where we study in, we should write or talk accordingly. i think that's absolute rubbish that you just spewed. i like to write in this manner, it's my personal form of affliction on readers like you who need to flip the dicky for reference. but for me, i just write what my cognitive mind thinks. period.

So hello dude, who hasn't been "much of an epicurist" or "alicia silverstone circa clueless days"... hahahaa, you are such a annoying irritable creature, you know...so how, have you bought a new dicky (advanced edition) to massacre the English language again. Look dude, honestly u r old and ugly, mixing with the younger crowd won't make u younger K, u are getting old :)...you were in ACJC coz your parents were rich and they could afford it, then u went to NUS and you did real badly there, obviously your intellect wasn't suffice ...then u became a steward, then now an insurance agent...now you wanna act 'high class' by speaking Victorian English so people believe you from NUS, wad a loser thing to do...I went to NUS but I did my exchange programs in Cambridge, I finished my M.Sc from LSE...It's a disgrace for me to have blokes like hailing from the same alma mater. Get out of my elitist face :)

iruffcookiedough said...

I can’t seem to fathom comments regarding your acute sense of literacy. Your choice of words depicts your personal style of expression, in my opinion, has developed a distinct voice, that needed to be applauded.

Keep up the good work.

hmmmm... having done ur wat-is in NUS and getting ur what-nots in LSE, u cnt exactly be any younger rite? besides, why are u reading this blog to begin with if u REALLY hate it that much? all the way down to lifting "quuotes"? u muz be an avid follower who cant write in the same quality despite having more your self-proclaimed "elitist" education?

shame on u, elite loser. oh yeah, i m a heartlander, so pls dun frown upon my heart-landish english k?

Victorian literature corresponded to the Victorian era (1837-1901) and was a leading style of English literature by novelists. Charles Dickens was a good example, when he often comment on social issues of the era in his books. I really don't see how this blog mutilate the English language... its just a form of writing.

The fact that the 'elitist' reader, who subjected the blogger to personal attacks, may suggest that not only he was bitter (for reasons unknown), he wasn't able to appreciate the English language at all...

the way you write, seriously anonymous, r the real disgrace for someone who hails from such ivy leagues - and the blased generisation of other ppl by occupation goes on to show just how lack of depth (and not to mention just how deep u r in that well of urs) a person u r. seriously, u r the one who shd get out out (in case u happened to be falling behind in the pop culture front, its not a typo but an inference to mariah's new song) of here. in fact, u shd really just disappear from every one's life. a life like yrs deserved to be weeded out. and fast!
