Da Paolo

Day started out with me meeting Joycie-poo at the 7-eleven opposite my place. We then drove to church to make it on time for the 4th service. We parked at Suntec instead of Millenia as I am apt to do at Joyce's request. Service started close to 5 when it is scheduled to begin at 4:15.Poh and Lyn were also not far off ahead of us. When we got into the auditorium (yes! we did not go straight up to the overflow room as we usually do), we managed to secure seats just behind the main camera. As the service began we realised why the service had been held up.There seemed to be more announcements than usual.Choir recruitment drive, the upcoming Israel trip, the new DVD that just came out...There was also communion as is the usual practice these days. There was also a performance by Adeline singing the beautiful song O'Jerusalem. Pastor Prince was his usual self, meaning his message today exceeded an hour. He tends to let it all hang out at the last service since there are no time constraints. Not that that ever stopped him before.

After service, we walked about Suntec abit. Dropped by Carrefour to look for some bumper guards for Joycie's March. Got back to the car..eventually. Anyone who has been to the Suntec City carpark would know how hard it can be to find your vehicle sometimes. We went down by a different elevator from which we used to get up. Hence we ended up kinda disorientated so we ended up pressing the door opening device and following the sound of the 'beeps'.

Dinner was at Da Paolo at Jalan Merah Saga. Joyce was giving a treat after getting her pay. I wanted something italian so she recommended the place. The calamari was rather lacklustre.However the main dishes we had ordered were alright. In total the bill came up to about $60 (inclusive of GST, service charge and cover charge[?]).The place was nice but kinda too snooty to hang out in.Perhaps next time we will dine at the alfresco/smoking area. A lot less stuffy outside. But as in all of Holland V area, a good place to people watch.
