Today was great. (Sorry no photos - intended to post pics of the Chinese acrobats but I'm too lazy/tired) Sent Weejin to work, bumped into Wong, and then went to town alone for the fourth consecutive day to get Justin's belated bday present. Eh Justin, if you're reading this - I really dunno if you'll like what I chose (shared among me thong chew szewei) but that book made me think a lot, and I hope you'd like it too. Jostein Gaarder la - philosophical stuff. Plus The Invisible Man (HG Wells) was going cheap, sooo I got it too. Tell me if the latter is good kays.
Soo got home and mooched around on MSN for a while before I got a call from Weejin at 6.58pm asking me to go eat dinner. Dashed down to Raffles Place and decided to eat at Black Angus at One Fullerton. I owe him a million treats, and dinner was supposed to be on me but our bill came up to $72.05 and I only had $62 on me so he had to fork out another 10. Anyways, if you've never had Black Angus steak, you're missing out! It's one of the only places that I can order my steak medium-rare and not have to feel like a vampire with blood oozing out through the gaps of my teeth. If you ever visit the place - go for the PRIME RIB set that comes with choice of soup & side. The Steak Soup (Weejin said it was as rich and thick as drinking steak gravy) that is bloody fantastic with barley and carrots and chunks of beef, AND the garlic mashed potatoes are good too. Price is a bit hefty at $28.90 but considering that the slab was an inch thick and about 16cm wide, it's worth it.
Passed by this beautiful pub called Lash but we were damn short of cash so we couldn't pop in. Plus he was utterly zonked from work and from last night. Ended up looking at stars. Saw Orion's Belt again! Oh and I found out something really funny. WEEJIN CAN TAP DANCE WAHAHAHAHAHA. It's like telling me that Szewei can play the erhu or something! Tried to get him to strut his stuff but he suddenly turned shy. Damn. But TAP DANCING. Hyukhyuk. Anyway we were waving at the tourists on bumboats - or rather, HE was waving at the tourists - sheesh.. but it was great.
I guess this is probably the last time I'm gonna be at the Marina area for a very very long time. Can you believe it's only FOUR days away.. *heartpalpitations.
