Went to Omni-theatre today after the lecture. Didn't go there to watch any movie. Went to the Astro shop to look at telescopes. Spent almost 2 hours there doing nothing and listening the GM of the shop talking to my brother about telescopes. The prices of those things are also astronomical. I think my dad and younger brother is planning to get one of the telecscope at that moment but the price tag is able to burn a large hole in the pockets. I heard that they are going to go back after discussing it over the weekends.

There is a small exhibition about the Deep Sea at the omni-theatre. Showed a video about the Deep Sea exploration and the creatures found there. The most digusting part yet interesting part is that they have got preserved samples of the Deep... Ranges from fishes, crabs to eels, some of them are even dated in 1997. But looking at those glass containers made my goosebumps rise and sent shivers down my spine because some samples are really eerie especially those with the extra large eyes and the sets of spiky teeth. There is no entrance fee for this mini exhibition so you can go take a look.. Oh and they have got 3 live giant crabs in a temperature-controlled tank. When I was there, one of the care-taker was feeding them prawns.

After the walk around the exhibition, headed over to Chevron's chinese restuarant for dinner. Waited for around 1/2 hour because they only start work at 6pm. When we enter the restuarant there, we were the first so we were like being served by 4 people. At that time, you will feel like a king but I don't really feel comfortable with so many people serving at one go although it was efficient. My dad ordered a-la-carte. Though one person is around $30, it was worth the whole deal. We ordered 8 dishes initially and then added another 5 dishes. So in total, 13 dishes excluding the dessert. The menu had 36 dishes to try but we were unable to conquer even half of the menu. What did we have? Let me see if I can list all of them.. haha..

  1. sliced fresh scallop with fruit salad, wasabi mayo as dressing
  2. shark fin soup
  3. claypot - sea cucumber with mushroom
  4. cold tofu with onion oil
  5. peking duck wrap
  6. pepper venison
  7. whole fried fish with light soy sauce
  8. thin french beans and baby shellfish with hay-bi chili
  9. spinach with light seasoning
  10. xiao bai chai with bai-ling gu (mushroom)
  11. crisp spring chicken
  12. butter prawns
  13. chili crab

Add one more red bean paste for dessert.. hee.. there's really a lot of variety. Right now.. I am real full and satisfied. ^_^ If only I have had a camera phone, I would have taken all the dishes and post them here.. haa


I wish to see the world through eyes of Innocence...
