the pig sums up the week
a long long post *grins*
yest evening xj asked me out for dinner at haji lane, he was famished and had hoped for me to reach before 8.30pm but naturally i was late lol. when i reached, i popped by coffeenations cos xj has wanted to get weiren out for dinner as well but rongzhang informed tat wr had left town and was in europe! (good if he is there for a break cos he deserves it :))
looked for xj in whiteroom, he was trying on a t-shirt, whiteroom has some pretty cool clothes and shoes, they mainly cater to guys i guess but the women clothes, though interesting din come cheap, a very plain tank could set you back at $89! we adjourned to blue jazz, 2nd level, the food was not too bad 'cept that if u are there, dont try the balls of fire cos it kinda taste like kfc's pop corn chix only more ex *grins*
xj showed me his jap trip photos and i learned a thing or two on how to go on budget trip =) his tic to jap and kh was only 500 bucks! xj is really talented in the photography department, the pics he took are truly avant garde and he was just using a digital cam! i admire him cos he knows how to enjoy life and dare to explore places alone. xj gets his fashion sense from his love of the jap culture and he carries it off very well!
did i mention tt he permed his hair? he got it done at this jap salon located at one of the upmarket chinatown shop houses, he mentioned that all the stylists are japs and it realli was authentic. will get the contact from him when it's time for a change in my style :)
i'm kinda glad tat ny got me to do a soft rebond cos i kinda think tt dragon likes it hee hee *winks* i was lucky to have found a salon tt could rebond and color all at the same time and they were willing to serve me though i had no prior appt and was there at 8.20pm (they originally closed at 8.30pm)!
my hair doesnt look so damaged cos treatment was included, paid $230 in total and it included a cut too :) ny accompanied me throughout and we had supper at TCC international building after i was done at abt 10.45pm. we chatted till 1am and she truly loves the place now cos of the victorian decor influence =) and guess wat?! she managed to become a member cos on friday, kang wei, lisa, weizhen, justin, ny and me were having dinner there. we kinda coaxed, or is it coerced? haha, lisa and wz to gg TCC IB but guess they din realli like the food =p
after dinner, justin, kw, ny and me decided to catch angels and demons and we watched it at shaw... i love the show! the plot was good, it was well-paced and the cinematography was absolutely amazing! hope to visit vatican city someday and preferably with dragon *hint hint*
there are some parts where i wanted to tear cos i understand the power of the Holy Spirit, after the movie, i was contemplating whether i should return to the catholic faith but i guess it is a commitment which i'm not ready for at the moment. i like what Cardinal Strauss said: "every man is a fraud, including me."
not too sure wat to have for lunch later =p last week dragon and i went to guan soon hoe for lunch, their timun sambal salad (cucumber appetiser) was good, the rest of the dishes were ok, the rumpa was tasty but some of the meats like the satay babi was a bit tough though =p,
maybe this week, our quest for a good peranakan makan place continues hee hee :)
i was a very bad bad pig this week cos i totally lost track of time and forgot about dragon's birthday =( i had remembered it past couple of weeks and had reminded myself but i guess work had gotten to me and i totally lost it. dragon was terribly understanding and din even kick up a fuss though initially he may had thot i was being 'naughty' =p nothing beats having the understanding of your love one when you are going thru a hell of emotions at work =)
ending here now cos sensing tt dragon might be displeased as he watching cartoon network alone =p
