Foreign treasures

After a few nights of insomnia, I finally had an uninterrupted slumber last night and a dream. Dreamt that I was back in Toronto having dinner with Cui, Andy, Simon and her family. I don't know what my subconscious mind is telling me but I'm certain that I'm not exactly dying to go to Toronto again anytime soon. That aside, I do miss my Canadian experience and it has been labeled "the best summer holiday" in my memory vault.

I am delighted to read in today's Urban that Poutine has arrived in town! Poutine is a Canadian snack of fries topped with cheese curd and smothered with hot beef gravy. It's the sinful-est snack you can ever eat and it was love at first taste when I bought a bowl in Toronto! Heck my (not very successful) CNY diet. I'm heading to Bugis as soon as I can.

While I still can't believe they have Poutine in Singapore, I'm even more surprised nobody brought in the American cosmetic brand "ELF". I'm down to my last tube of $0.99 Cherry Tart twist tube ELF lip gloss and having panic attacks because I can't find any replacement. A shop in Parkway which used to sell a pathetically LIMITED range of ELF cosmetics ($5 a tube) does not seem to carry them anymore and I doubt they have the colour I want anyway. Arrgh :(
