St James Power Station and Jalan Kayu Prata SUCKS!

Invited Phyo (Steph's bf) over for dinner tonight.. Dave came over too.. He drove Steph and Phyo over too and I'm thankful for that sinceI need not drive.. we had alot of dishes.. And all i made was this small pathetic bowl of Tom Yam soup.. It was really good though.. except there were too many mushroms inside.. Haha.. But i dun like it.. cuz i dun like tamarinds...
After Phyo checked out my place, they proceeded home.. So I quickly dressed up and headed for Vivocity to meet Elvin and Damien... And as usual, Damien is late....poor Elvin waited 30 mins forme and an hour for Mr Chua (Damien).. So we went to St James and there were alot of pretty girls there!!! One pity thing was there was no shuai ge... :S
After this night of clubbing, I furthur conclude that clubbing is not for me cuz I dun really dance, or drink and its hard to chat...
But the company was pretty great.. Damien brought along a friend and she was really nice!

And after our short clubbing night, we headed for Jalan Kayu prata... Advice: DUN TRY ANYTHING FROM JALAN KAYU PRATA!!! IT SUCKS!!

Prata, not so crispy, ice cream too artificial and cheap, teh tarik nothing special..

After that, I made my way for Sihan's 3am arrival at the airport... Dearie Sihan returned for almost one month! Talk about time flies!

The Last Chance

After a long night of crying the night before, a shock came to me on Saturday night.. I remembered baking horrible tasting shortbread.. Well, not horrible, but it lacked something some how... Maybe too hard? Suddenly, a call came.. to my phone.. it was him.. I was happy yet lost.. He was really concerned about how I was getting along.. Well, I was doing baking for therapy.. and as usual, baking in a sucky mood indeed produces crap... And he asked me if I wanted to catch movie.. ** Yes!!!! Why would I wanna give up a chance to go out with you? It was like a chance for me to save the relationship.. A light at the end of the tunnel which I thought let to a dead end..** But... Saturday night movie=expensive? But he was really sweet.. He told me not to worry about the price.. But yet still, I knew I wun wan a treat.. I had to say yes, cuz I can't pass the chance to go out with him.. On top of that, he was coming to pick me up!!!!!!!!!! How lucky can I be?

MOvies that night had bad timing, bad prices, nothing interesting.. So we landed up walking around the night streets of orchard road.. And decided to look for live bands... And we found ourselves at Indochine Wisma.. That was a really great place to chill.. Great band.. all kinds of liqour, beer and what nots at a single price of $15.. Seating in lazy sofas...

We had a nice talk.. I found out he wasn't having as easy time as I thought.. I thought I was the only one wetting my pillows being stupid.. But the guilt and confusion was driving him crazy.. He was really troubled.. I couldn't do much.. I was the cause of all these trouble.. But all I can do now is not bear grudges and be there for him in whatever way I can.. Bearing grudges only will turn me into a bitter person and probably back to the hot and short tempered Claire I used to be..

The details of how we met up the following Sunday was kind of a blur to me.. But I do remember going to Holland V to try out the cold rock... Over priced and almost similar to Ben and Jerry's, the cold rock's only interesting point was to look at the way they mix their ice cream.. A kid's size ice cream is $4.60 and additional toppings come at $1 each...

Another night of long chat and sharing.. Things were not ready to fall in place.. But its ok... For an impatient Claire who is always screaming at people, this is one of the best opportunity to train my patience.. But doing the right thing doesn't mean making everyone happy.. He's trapped becasue of his conscience and pressure from family.. All he wants is to be alone.. Some Alone time.. no girls, no pressure.. It's not difficult.. But it may need alot of tolerance from me..

I can't admit I'm sad, but I guess getting to meet him twice on consecutive days did make me feel better I guess. So I baked something nice!! My Coconut Chiffon cake that went Poof within a day! Now that's fast!! Recipe shall be up soon... Pardon my laziness...

After all the packing being almost down it was time to laze around.. But something nice came! Another phone call! He asked me out for dinner!! Except its at Raffles Place.. So I took the 167 which took one hour to get me to town.. It was enjoyable though.. Cuz I could watch yakitate Japan on my phone.. Town+ meeting him, I had to look pretty! I remembered the night before he had a basketball match with Junwei and friends.. But he gave it up for me.. So we met up at City Hall MRT.. And woohoo cuz I wasn't late.. Damien came along, so the three of us had dinner at HAn's Raffles place.. The set menus there are worth it though.. Main+soup+garlic tost+dessert+drink.. Dessert was a slice of watermelon though..

But around 6, he had to go for basketball cuz they din have enough players.. So my date ended with a one hour dinner.. Damien had to go Tanglin.. except he didn't noe how to go plus his ERP cashcard was low on cash, which means summon under the ERP gate.. So I followed his car to Tanglin to pick his friend.. Ho-Lan abit cuz my directions gt a little lost since I was away for so long.. Damien dropped me off at holland V after that and I tried finding my way home using my bus guide.. There was one bus to switch,but I switched twice cuz I landed myself at pandan valley thanks to taking bus in the wrong direction.. Haha...

Fridays of July with Sannin

Yes.. another outdated Entry.. Just busy catching up with everything and recovering from my constant fatigue, nothing ever seems to be done... But let's start with the 11th July:

Well, I went to the dentist for check on my widsom tooth.. Apparently I could have my wisdom tooth operation by payment via mummy's medisave..

Since my dentist was the toofdoctor in Serangoon central, I went for a hair cut to cur of my really damaged hair and its split ends.. Since its $4.80, so I went for the cut.. In the end, I landed up going for a treatment on top of cutting.. So it totalled to $50 over dollars!!After the hair cut, I met my sannin at PS.. It was a good time to meet up the people I have neglected when I was attached.. Meeting them and giving toasts to each other for bidding engineering careers good bye felt really good.. And as ususal we can't stop eating and talking.. Lol..

We went spotlight to look for iron on cover ups for hte whole on elvin's pants.. haha...
In the end, we found a hat... So we tried it on and see who looked the best..

I shall vote Koijiro Okonomiyaki, the second guy from the top as the winner! Haha...

17th July

The following Friday, the sannin met up again to go St James! It was my first itme and another one of my rare experiences to clubbing..

I could have sworn I was a really bad company to them.. Cuz I think we din really talk alot.. Hahaha...
But again, time with sannin is precious... aLthough clubbing seems to be about the struggle to talk to people.. Haha.. Expensive too..Poor damien's coupons din work.. So they ordered beer....

I thought clubbing was for people to find singles to hit on.. But apparently, there were so much more pretty girls den handsome guys.. more like no handsomes there... And we seemed to be at some aging area of the pub where everyone wore an above 30 yrs old mask...
After StJames, we went Jalan Kayu for prata.. I ordered Lychee sundae and I swore it sux!!!! Prata at Jalan Kayu sux!!! Everything soldat Jalan Kayu sux!!! Cold prata, bad ice cream... So conclusion: Don't eat prata at Jalan Kayu!!
