Terrace Grille at Marriott Hotel

Inviting me out for dinner at a fancy restaurant every month end has been sort of a regular thing now for 'the Tart', for which i am of course so sweetly enamoured by. Last month we dined in The Globe (Faisaliah Tower), a place that we have always wanted to try out and experience. Well, The Globe did not disappoint. Wasn't able to make a post about it because i did not get any one decent picture at that time.

But i digress.

So yesterday, 'the Tart' invited me for dinner again, this time in the Terrace Grille in Marriott Hotel. Marriott Hotel is quaint, first time to really go there.

Terrace Grille's ambiance is nice; i just wished they had more space to make the seating arrangements more private, i mean we were dining beside some group of Ladies, and in this part of the world, that's a bit unconventional.

We ordered Black Angus Tenderloin and Rib Eye. Mine's supposed to be the Rib Eye but i implored 'the Tart' to let me have the Tenderloin because i just didn't find the presentation of the Rib Eye delectable at all.

Here are a couple of pictures that i took. (Sorry for the crappy pictures, it was dimly purplish inside the restaurant and i never bring my DSLR when we go out to dine in restaurants because 1) i think its impolite to just shoot food pictures to my hearts content and 2) i'm not a food blogger. )




Black Angus Rib Eye

Decorative Hanging Light Unit, a bit old-ish i think.

Just a lamp.

Random Thoughts: When you love...

When you love, love fully and wholeheartedly, otherwise don't love at all.

Yes, i'm Jailbroken. So what?

Using the beautiful Ayecon Theme with Iconoclasm, Springtomize 2, Kuvva, NC Settings and some other apps from Cydia.

Note: Kuvva is a paid app filled with great looking wallpapers downloaded from iTunes.







Amour: A three movement symphony


This movie is a grand three-movement symphony.

Beginning in a powerful, arresting note that makes you stop; catching you, making you anticipate and hope that the following melodies would keep you listening, sustaining your interest. And it does, and oh how beautiful it does it that by the time the second movement unfolds, one gets to notice each note, understand the flow of the melody and establish a connection that surrounds your heart's beating in a graceful embrace.This is where in the movie that George and Anne's characters are solidified; this is where their characters are connected to the story and the message that the movie, this wondrous symphony, would soon convey in a beautifully sad but liberating third movement that goes deep to your heart and makes you realize that "Amour" has taken you into a journey of love that transforms, possesses and teaches you about letting go.

Do i recommend you watching it? Most definitely.

Amour is a 2012 French-language drama film written and directed by the Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke, starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva and Isabelle Huppert.
