It's funny how some sneer at others for being pampered, yet all they long for are the same creature comforts. I am of the opinion that you should never have to apologise for the hand you were dealt as it's simply the natural order of things. In what inane guidebook to sociology does it rationalize that the better-off have to hang their heads in shame, shielding their riches from the prying eyes of common folk whilst turning red in embarrassment when the true extent of their wealth is uncovered? What is it with Singaporeans putting others down & dismissing their character based on their perceived privileges, just because they are jealous? It has become acceptable to automatically & superficially judge someone based on where he lives, what he drives, what he wears and the people he socializes with, but is absolutely illogical and misinformed in my opinion. Besides, there will always be someone richer & more attractive who drives a nicer car and has more fancy handbags. Deal with it.
I have come to a sobering conclusion that try as you may, one cannot challenge the natural hierarchy in society by straddling both camps, playing middle fiddle in a bid to assimilate the self & identify with those that do not subscribe to the same belief systems & lifestyles. A lesson in group dynamics proves to be costly in that there is always an alpha, whom despite possessing an irrational and absurd set of cognitions & behaviors still retains control over his helpless/hapless minions who scurry around, busying themselves with mundane activities & picking up his leftovers.
What also, is the heck with this ridiculous Jack Neo saga? Enough already, off with their heads I say!

Bedrock Bar & Grill
It's that bloody Jamon Iberico again! Haha but this time is was oh-so-tasty and moist, arriving in generous portions which were properly sliced, unlike the dried-up chunks that we previously had to endure at Spruce. Yonks better than what we paid for previously, and cheaper too! The nuttiness and silky fattiness of the meat makes me weak in my porky knees every single time... Pig in my favourite form, yum!
500g medium rare T-bone for you Ma'am? Incredibly juicy and perfectly cooked, I had a hard time deciding whether to continue stuffing my face with this slab red meat, or to attend to the pain sensors on my bursting belly and overloaded feedback loops in my brain. I chose the former, naturally...
Wayyyy too (sickly) sweet, flat-finished, and unrefined Napanook recommended by the manager/our server that I can aptly describe as "never again!". I should have heard the warning bells ring when he pronounced Bordeaux as "Boar-dyuks"...
-_-
And to end it off, some extremely nasty tasting COUGH syrup masquerading as a cherry/apricot (memory fails me) liqueur, "on the house". But of course, who in their right mind WOULD drink that willingly? Dessert was dismal, a sad sweet mush of ice-cream & caramel sandwiched between two soggy biscuits (haa) soaked in some nonsensical sweet alcohol (again) which no doubt classifies it as a serious diabetes independent risk factor.
Verdict: Go for the meat, leave the dessert, but whatever you do, don't trust a server who tells you the "Boar-dyuks" are pretty good but would you care to try a wine that I personally really like?
