Courtesy of my supervisor, Claire R, we had a very yummy North Indian dinner at Clarke Quay last Friday. (I was absolutely stuffed!!!) (Will upload photos when I get them from people who took them. It'll take some time, but I'll get there, promise. hee.) I stayed for a few drinks with them before leaving to meet a friend for a late-night coffee. Some of the more happening girls from work went ahead to St James. I dunno why (maybe feeling *ermm... mumbles* old) I 've not felt up to dancing in a loud, crowded and smoky place for some time. (Actually I've never really faniced clubbing, until my 2 close mates came along. And since they're not here anymore, maybe that's why I've stopped going.) These days, I'd much have some quiet drinks and relax in the company of close friends.
Because girly shopping was cancelled on Sat, I stayed home and caught up on sleep instead. (Boy, it was nice doing nothing the whole day!) A friend took me out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant along Mohammed Sultan Road. (Once again, stuffed cos' he was hungry and over-ordered.) Had an after-dinner drink at some bar off Robertson Quay before we headed home. Due to the lychee martini intoxication, I overslept on the NEL and only got off at Kovan. There was no more train back to Serangoon so I decided to walk the 1 station back where I could then take a bus home. (only 1 stop mah, shouldn't be too long. Or so I thought...) Ended up walking the whole way home, cos' it was nice and cool. (I also reckoned the walking could help ease the guilt of eating so much.) Took me a little less than an hour. Plugged into my music, slight breeze in the face, I strolled along easily. Was somehow reminded of our recent trek. Compared to that, no walking will ever be tough. ^_^
Only woke up around 10ish on Sunday. Mum said, 'Why you wake up so early?' I didnt sense any sarcasm there. She's been really really nice to me. Knowing how hard *erhmm...* I work. My late lunch started with fish porridge at a coffeeshop in hougang with a friend who lives nearby. After which he brought me on an eating tour of hougang. We tried some (not really) smelly toufu, supposedly from Taiwan, then had some muah chee (very very good!!!). I bought some cheesecake for my mum. (There were numerous bakeries and we went into every one of them just to look. I am proud to announce I overcame temptations to buy more.) We also got a couple of slices of papaya (which in the end I had to bring home cos' we couldn't eat anymore). Finally sat down to a plate of (Chinese) rojak (extremely delicious!) for our late afternoon tea. While we were walking around the neighbourhood, he was giving me detailed commentaries on what food is good at which eatery or coffeeshop and some of the histories behind those places etc.
All throughout I was sweating like a pig. That got me dying for a dip in the pool. Plus all that food I ate!!! I had to do something! Spent an hour or so leisurely swimming. Then more food! (OMG! you must think, She is a PIG! haha.) In an early celebration of my cousin's birthday, my aunt prepared steamboat and invited my mum and I to their place (across the road from ours) for dinner. And so I ate some more. Fresh seafood, vegetables, flavourful soup... My dinner went on for ages. haha...
All that and I couldn't go to the gym last night cos' I finished late at work. I so have to go today. Miss FATTY...
The 2 pretty desserts (panna cotta and passionfruit trifle) we were given at work today (MedChem opening I think), with the 'lil kangaroo at my desk. =)
