Rain

I was feeling so damn lethargic the whole day; might be the late night drinking session with Adeline, Sunshine Boy, Sharon and Isaac at Boat Quay the previous night. It was supposed to be a short "drink-and-go" affair, but there were so much bitching and catching up that we forgot the time : ) (I was surprised that I could walk in a straight line after 2 pints of Hoegaarden. Does that mean I am a better drinker now? : P ) Back to today, hell yeah, I was as dead as a fish; lunch was not as interesting as on other days : x By late evening, I felt heat and fatigue eating into me (I thought I was going to be sick, which was a good thing as I could apply for medical leave tomorrow : ) ) Anyway, supposed to go dinner with King Kong, but apparently, he had to do his stuff and yes, I was stood up (for the 3rd time)

Feeling ultra pissed, I headed straight home and I was a walking inferno with heat, fatigue and madness boiling in me (Some colleague unwittingly asked me why my face was so red, as if I applied rouge - She forgot I was "allergic" to cosmetic) Took the train back and when I stepped out of the MRT station, I realized it was drizzling and I did not have my brolly with me (Damn!) Too angry with every single thing, I walked in the rain and realized that the inferno in me was doused. Though I was drenched when I came home, I felt happier. I didn't realize that occasional walks in the rain could be fun (Nature huh?) Had bak kut teh for dinner with Brother at Alexandra Village. It felt nice slurping hot soup in such cold weather : )

As for last Sunday, I was supposed to meet up with King Kong for dinner after my oily massage and cold wraps, but he was tied up (Yeah, that was the 2nd time) Not wanting to go home and have lonely dinner, I rang Fat Boy up to see if he was keen to accompany me. Met him at Yishun MRT and he took me to Orchidville - He had patronized the restaurant with his colleagues and thought that it was not bad. Though I didn't really fancy the restaurant (The menu looked boring), I must say that the place was quite nice; it was lined with pots of different kinds of orchids and the best thing was that each pot of orchid was not expensive. Good for green-finger wannabes : )

We ultimately ended up at Muthu's in Little India for dinner and feeling full from the curry fish head, masala chicken and cabbage, we had a stroll and I bought a Ganesha clay figurine and a jasmine garland before we went to Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple to offer incense : )
