If i dont post the photos now, i never will. yes so, even as the fact that i have hardly done anything academic (again) this weekend, and that its already 8pm into the night, gnaws at the back of my conscience.
My brother, the one whose back im seeing more often than the front now (and i dont think im exaggerating) because of his addiction to some computer game, turned 15 three weeks ago. And the family dined in style for once, at Paragon. Okay not really in style, because some really fancy restaurant we had in mind didnt have seats unless we waited for forty minutes. which sounded like eternity to four growling stomachs. So we settled for the other one, which had a lot of M'sian waitresses about, spewing Cantonese everywhere. I love the language, but I dont really want to hear it in a Japanese restaurant. Totally kills the ambience i reckon.

The focus here is the big, fat, juicy slabs of salmon, maguro in the glass. My goodness.

I was aghast at the $6 price of two cubes of sushi, when you can get it at Sakae or Suki at $1.90. But that was before I tried it. My, you can really taste the difference. Everything's just richer. The sashimi, the vinegared rice, even the sweet egg. YUMM.

CURRYWOK with mab happened. :)

The main highlight today had to be me getting through to Di. My gosh, i totally wasn't expecting her to pick up my Skype call. So when the all too familiar voice said "Hello?" from my laptop, i was pretty much too surprised (and VERY elated) to say anything else, than repeat hello about five times. haha. I HAVENT HEARD FROM THE DEAR BABUSENG FOR MORE THAN A MONTH!! :) It was a very very happy affair, and we talked for close to 2 hours, before she had to go the toilet and troop off to British Museum. (!)
I hated the lagginess which made me listen to everything i said once more, and i was uncomfortable with the fact that i was talking to a laptop screen, but WHO CARES. its my babuseng can. even my mom came over to talk to her. which was err. awkward. hahha.

Okay back to photos.
Island Creamery! Me and yiqiao were totally people-spotting, on the photo-clad walls (i spotted yonghui and michelle chiang!) and in the parlour itself. There was a certain girl in the place who had already given birth, and she was my friend's friend, and yiqiao was totally shocked when she knew.

Okay, i think Mab will be totally scrolling past the food pictures. that is, if she even reads. hahaha.

Oh yar! Di should be returning to Singapore around 15th Dec, all the way till 5th Jan! HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. -does a mad victory dance. hear that, mab and ros? this means work. BUT we're all too happy lar, di!! DONT YOU GO SHORTEN YOUR RETURN TRIP.

Driving test this wednesday. If a higher power does exist, you'll do good to manifest then. Ok, that sounded so blasphemous i probably just killed off any chances of external help.

can you hear the soft swoosh of the butterflies' wings. 8:16 PM.
