An Italian perk-me-up at Palio
By Jay Tan
There is one universal truth: no one escapes the clutches of the Weary Wednesday Monster. Midweek blues are painful for that stranded feeling – you’re tired from Monday and Tuesday, but the weekend is Thursday and Friday away. I decided that I needed a perk-me-up comfort meal, one that will keep my spirits uplifted for the rest of the week.
I popped by good ol’ Palio and gave myself a little treat.
3 things you need to do at the Carrot Cause
Yes, carrots love Italian cuisine.
It’s Wednesday, 5pm, and the week seemed to have stretched impossibly long. We reckon a good way to break the seemingly unending marathon of work commitments would be to indulge in a good ol’ Tuscan dinner. Better yet, if you eat at Palio on 29 May at the RWS Carrot Cause, your money doesn’t even go to the restaurant – EVERYTHING will be donated to the charity of your choosing.
Here’re 3 ways to make the night even more enjoyable.

Thrill seekers, game on.
Meet the Addams Family
The Addams Family members from left: Pugsley, Grandma, Morticia, Gomez, Lurch, Wednesday and Uncle Fester
They’ve been tickling our funny bones since 1938, but this may be mom Morticia’s biggest challenge yet: daughter Wednesday has fallen in love, but has yet to confide in her mother.
Come 9-28 July, you’ll get your chance to meet the Addams family and share in their hilarious dramas. The 2010-2011 Broadway hit musical is moving into Singapore’s Festive Grand Theatre, with a bit of something for every member of your own family.
