Original plan to Nandos went to naught thanks to our chronical latecomer Dan. The queue almost went out of Bugis. So we went to NYDC. I still think the chef can't find his bearing ever since the menu (or more importantly the size of the plate. SEEEE... Big plate BETTER. Sigh) changed. I think I am finally cured of any NYDC craving for some time.
Then went over to Koi. Keep seeing people talking about it on FB but didn't understand what's the craze about since bubble tea's not my thing. We waited like 20 minutes for 1 bubble tea. Faints. I was half convinced the swarm of people waiting for their drinks were waiting for buses at a busstop. Yes, it was that many people. Horrors.
I realised I will never queue that long for food. Or drinks. I told Dan I will probably try Nandos a few months later when the attention span of Sporeans wear off. (Remember the bubble tea and donuts craze? ) I mean, if it's THAT good, I am sure it won't close down anytime soon AND there will probably be another one opening soon AND the queue is never going to last forever.
Sounds like a rather gloomy day. Being tired and having low tolerance of lateness is not exactly a winning combination. Sorry Dan if I sounded sulky and grouchy! :)))
Funniest thing all day was seeing this machine at Iluma's arcade. Those claw thingy to catch soft toys and stuff. There was one which has the sign below. I swear it's a damaged machine they just can't be bothered to fix. Seriously. How can 1 claw catch anything!

Headcount dwindling! Hope we can achieve our desirable results.
Went to a largely empty green exhibition at Suntec. I always pity those events with lousy turnouts. Just feel very bad for them. Oh well.
I wonder if every cent I spend at Suntec somehow makes it way to particular mega church... Hmmm.
I see some interesting development between someone and someone!

Outing with the 4J gang! Love love. We tried to resume our custom of birthday celebrations. Ah Lee, Char, CY, Stacy and moi. I don't know what's with mexican/spanish food craze that Char has. And you ordered the same thing at Changing Appetities as you did at Chilli's! Funny. And I can't believe Stacy and I shared 2 main courses while the other 3 shared 1 starter and 1 main course. And we all shared waffle ice cream and cake. Talk about FATNESS.
It just weird how the friends you made when you were younger are always going to be the ones closer to your heart? It's like a certain amount of innocence was there when you first knew them and it's never going to be tainted by time?
Or maybe it's just the group of people I meet now are much more different from me (upbringing, experiences etc) but somewhere down the road, I think the people I keep in contact with will be mostly those from my past rather than my present.
Or maybe it's me. Maybe I am too guarded, too damaged, too... old.

Run run run! I am seriously disturbed that I couldn't continue a conversation and my thighs were aching after 2km. Goodness fatness me.
But somehow the run didn't take very long.
Then we went for hotdogs at Ikea. I love $1 hotdogs! But ended up eating hotdog AND curry puff AND ice cream AND drink. Save money and eat less plan DIDN'T work.

Sungei Buloh walk. Minus the waking up at 615am and fighting with mozzies with a fluffy towel, it wasn't all that bad. Thank goodness for the company (but not the company which made me go there).
I realised I am caught in a time warp on the train like EVERYDAY. No matter how late I leave my house, I always reach office at approx the same time. And it happened again today! We were going to be late, and then suddenly we were not. It somehow took 15 minutes for the train to travel 4 stops and 10 minutes to travel 8 stops. And none of those stops are particularly shorter or longer than the others. Weird.
I concluded that mudskippers look like sai. And when they hang around a puddle of water, it's just a bit hilarious. In a gross kind of way. Also saw little crabs (horse shoe crabs look like walking shells, what's with the name), some huge ass lizard (can't remember the name) and many plants which all apparently are good for us in some way or another. But no otters. I want to see them build houses. Bleh.
There was the cutest boy on the trip. Shy and unspoilt. All kids should be like that.
And I saw what it means when they talk about boys and their toys. There was this professional photographer on our trip with those huge ass pro looking camera and plenty of gadgets. With all of those toys, he was having the hugest problem keeping his eyes off HY's white camera. He finally gathered enough courage to strike up a conversation and going on about how that camera resembles some star trooper suit. And he totally couldn't keep his eyes off it. I saw him sneaking glances at it! So FUNNEH.
After the walk, had Koi (after 1 cup by myself, it's really not all that awesome), naan and washed my car (like finally).
Most productive Saturday I had in a while.
Not really much point to this post. Just FMI in case I get dementia someday.
