Garibaldi
We'll get a rope,
And hang the Pope:
So up with Garibaldi!
That's what thousands of English children apparently chanted when Garibaldi was welcomed warmly in London, where the whole country shut down just for him. He was a hero to the Italians and the English, but a dire enemy to the Pope and the Papal States. He spent his life running from 100,000-strong French and Papal armies, organising and leading wars to gain independence from papal control and reunite Italy.
Garibaldi, is also the name of the high-class French restuarant my family and I went to for dinner today. My dad heard on the radio that it served fantastic French dishes, and as a food-lover, he couldn't resist trying it out. He didn't know it was going to be so high-class, so expensive or so hard to spot! Lol. We would have practically walked past the entrance had my brother not spotted the reflection of the tiny white signboard saying "Garibaldi" The decor was simple yet tasteful though. No lighting except for lamps of various sizes placed round the moderate-sized dark-walled room, soft jazzy music crooning away in the background with the occasional tinkle of laughter drifting from other patrons... Ahh... But the best thing was the service. The smile, the tone, the dignity, the wit. Fantastic. Our waiter was good hehe. The food was not too bad. But I don't think I'd pay such a price for this kind of food. Once in a while it's okay I guess. Oh well.
Then since Garibaldi was at Purvis Street, met with Yean in the office to sign up Maxonline for my house. My dad's peculiar. Always changing his mind about services and products. Lol. Oh well. I hope I'm getting some money from him soon. Haha. -angelic smile- Cuz I really think I havnt got all the money I'm supposed to get! =( Oh well... Except he asked for my sales record and I cant rmb where it is or if I even have it! Die... =/
Oh well. That's all I have to say then.
