this week was fun and fufilling. but i am really broke. i think i need a job soon at this rate i am going.
met up with karen deary for lunchie at pizza hut on tues, busy updating each other lives. we were chased away while trying to take photos at our usual arcade place. apparently photo-taking was banned from now on after they renovated the place. so sad. but its really new and j8, at least the upstairs look quite different after not visiting it for a couple of mths. we make good shopping and snacking partners! ended up going bugis, shopping and stopping for snacks every now and then with temptations from bugis to city hall. i will miss her when she goes back to australia again =(((
evening rushed off to meet desmond and wilfred to go bbq at chalet costa resort with my ex-colleagues. saw quite a few peeps i haven't got to see for veri long though some others whom i wanted to see hasn't came by the time i had to leave. bbq was quite fun, and i think i ate like many many sticks of hotdogs and satays and marshmellows, the usual food. and i finally got to eat pineapple rice which i didn't even ate in thailand at all.
wed was prata outing at pratahouse but i didn't eat prata plus drinks session at liquid kitchen with the fs peeps. today its the first day since i came back from thailand tat i haven felt hungry during the wee hours. walking by the stretch of shophouses in thomson brought me back memories of thailand =(
thurs was macs dinner with madam at last! poor madam lost her wallet yesterday but not as serious as mine where it was worth so much money. i still rmbed vividly abt one year ago i lost my wallet and broke down during work. time flies.
friday afternoon went out rather last min to meet up with desmond for lunchie before his head goes bald in a couple more days. he introduced me to this thai restaurant which reminded me of my thai days. i ordered the dishes that i usually ate in thailand like pat thai, thai iced tea (omg i miss the taste), glass noodles, mango sticky rice and asparagus. the staff are rather friendly and the food prices are reasonable, after we compared with places like thai express etc. i like the place and i think i will go back again as it reminds me of my thai days again. then we went to buy his toy while i sort of became a 'tourist' in singapore, exploring places that are hardly know. we made a big round, walking from city hall to this really nice office building (looks like hotel and we went there for toilets!) which i cannot rmb the name to haji lane ( i didn't know there were clothes!) to kampong glam to little india to new lasselle arts school ( i didn't know its open to public we explored from top to bottom levels) to sim lim to bugis to suntec city to marina square and finally back to city hall. think we walked quite a long dist, and at least i didn't feel really tired which is good! yays. i love walking, can enjoy the scenery and take your time to think of things as well.
then evening i was back in city hall to finally meet my BABAs for dinner! waited super super long for the jap marche and we shared rosti, jap curry rice and waffle ice cream. its been so long since i last ate marche. but the attitude of some waitresses were quite bad. anw we randomly came up with a slogan for ourselves, which is BUDGETIC, FUNTASTIC, YUMMLICIOUS. yays our future outings muz live up to our reputation.hahas. esp since we are poor and lazy kids. bleahx.
people i met always ask how does one mth being immersed in thailand inculcates such a change in me that made me miss thailand so much! i really do, its quite hard to explain. the food, the scenery, the people etc. ever since i returned to singapore, my appetite has increased alot, esp. in the night, i will start to get hungry and missing my CP sausages! i think i really need to apologise to my fellow peeps as i may start speaking thai in between my conversations with you guys which may have made you all feel blur, cos i am too used to using phrases like 'may chay' and i like to talk about thailand in my conversations lately etc... so sorry! i am juz too used to it, and i cannot believe its almost two weeks since i last returned to singapore. furthermore, i rmbed saying i don't really enjoy thai food before i left singapore for thai, upon coming, i think i do love thai food- not the spicy ones though, but most are more sour than spicy and i still love some dishes nonetheless. now, i think i wouldn't mind going to eat thai food in singapore.
still, the week ended really good! somehow, i miss macs breakfast and i want to try mcgriddles! this is a happy week as i managed to meet up a few of my happy pills. loves=)
mixture of feelings initially
glad i listened to my heart
i didn't regret
really thankful for everything =)))))
- peace out
