its a lazy friday afternoon.. and it happens to be a public holiday. and yesh here i am enjoying the fact that i'm dateless.. haha. you noe, its alright to be single. but to be single amidst a world full of couples??? tat would be interesting.
thats juz wat i realised on wednesday evening. as per usual, my ia mate kindly fetched me to jp after work, as he was gg to fetch his gf home anw and it wld be convenient for him to make the trip to jp. and after that i met up with rainne, who was accompanied by her bf, to take the train home together. and when i reached my house's lift lobby, i bumped into my sis and her bf, who were on the way to dinner and invited me to go along, which i did. so. to summarize, on wed evening i sat in my ia mate's car with his gf to jp, and i took the train home w rainne and her bf, and i ate dinner w my sis and her bf. i had the company of 3 couples back to back. interesting right. come to think of it, i've had enough practice being a light bulb since like ages ago. heh.

i hate pp who think they know everything AND look down on pp who dun. i mean, pp who think they know everything are not so bad, the problem comes when they start to become smug and reject others' opinions cuz of it. its kinda hard to be their friends w/out feeling put down alot of times.

ok enough of whining and negative thoughts. had dinner w shao yesterday. was really good! its the best vietnamese cuisine i ever tasted (ok i dun really go for vietnamese food all the time). the meatball was soft but chewy, and the pork loins were lean.. v few fatty parts. the food was tasty w/out being overwhelming.. they give big servings too.. i ate this crabmeat (not crabstick) soup htingy, and there were 4 clams, 2 prawns (not shrimps), 2 big slices of pork loins, alot of tomatoes, healthy servign of veggies and of cuz soup filled with pieces of crabmeat. and (for the set meal at least) we had free flow of drinks. the service was really wonderful too, w/out asking, we were given recommendations and tips to enjoy our food better. the owner also came by our table to ask if we enjoyed the food.
for great quality, quantity and service - and good ambience - , you'd expect the price to be very "great" too right? on the contrary, the food there was reasonably priced $12 for set meal which includes main course (worth $8), (free flow of) drink and an appetiser (which i exchanged for dessert). because its qte a small restaurant, there were no gst/cess charges.
the only bad thing i encountered yesterday was its ice lemon tea. it was not very sweet, quite sour actually. but the sugary sweet dessert (i ate this banana cream sago thingy) compensated for it.
haha i've been gg on and on w/out saying where it is. its in the middle of the row of restaurants juz next to sky garden at suntec. do visit it to keep it alive.. cuz there's surprisingly little patronage from teh suntec crowds. its qte strange cuz its not as if its a new shop, i heard its been there for qte some time. oh well.
