pancakes...for real!

as i type pancakes the second is under my bed...i am amused how a rabbit that fat can fit in the nooks and crannies of my room. i prefer when she was just lazing under my table where i can see her...

hee... yes... i found a pancakes bunny! adopted her... no cost... over a yr old...fat and rather nuah... i like!

fat and furry...

found this new song that i am in love with...

maybe i'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
maybe i'm afraid of the way i love you
maybe i'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
and hung me on a line
maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you

maybe i'm a girl and maybe i'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand

maybe i'm a girl and maybe you're the only man
who could ever help me
baby won't you help me understand

maybe i'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
maybe i'm afraid of the way i leave you
maybe i'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
right me when i'm wrong
maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you

powerful song la... full of the at-this-moment feeling... sigh... we had a great drive yesterday into the green and the storm, visited the farms... ventured...adventured... explored... in the rain. fun la... then i think the poison ivy lady was "so into" him... hee... called him a devil just by looking at him. yah la... naughty... what else can i say.

spending time sitting at dempsey hill with an ice cream and juice while those oh-so-meaningful songs played and i almost kicked myself on how "right" the timing was, talking about nothing. made me blue and yellow all at once...can't figure out if its happy or sickening. i will just stick with the former. =) no point think so much...it's been a while and it might be another while...

we have quite amazing flower arrangements that blows my mind... so big that i think i can hide me inside i think i think my absolute favourite item at the Club, Chocolate Royale... it's yummy beyond words!i oversee quite a bit of food photography here...its amazing and really its not as easy as it looks! a lot of effort to re-arrange and plan for the table layout etc...elaborate table arrangement...take until late, tired and hungry, how? Ask the kitchen feed the mouths of course! hahah...heee fine dining reminds me of the one time... we were out for dinner...as usual, we ordered so much but this was the first time the table was overflowing with cutlery!! see there were five on the right side on each side of the table lorrrr! i think we had like salad, oysters, escargot, lobster and a pasta... all to share la... but there were sooooo much cutlery... kau zhangggggg...

lazy sunday... i'm sick... as in ahhhh-chooo sick. i woke up on thursday with a bad throat and stuck nose which progressed to fever and aches in the afternoon... thurs nite was spent waking up here and there in mid of the night cz i couldn't breathe... it was quite hilarious... to wake up snortingggg hahaha....

i really had to take an MC, be superbly medicated and spend some time sleeping in, on friday. basically i slept most of the day only to wake up to eat, take meds and the evening to go for din for my favourite ger's bday.

we went secret garden at middle (of the) road... service sucked... i really question their ability to plan their manpower! the whole outside area was only served by one "competent" waiter who was harrassed nonstop by the tables and especially our many requests for water (come on la... use bigger drinking glasses can???? so small they were like shot glasses - can you blame us?!). the waiters serving the inside... refused to serve the outside tables when they were summoned tho' our one and only outside waiter so soooo busy they only know how to say "wait just a moment"... wassup with that? got district discriminiation la. i was initially promised an inside table but was given a table outside, right by an industrial fan, without even an apology...only excuse "we are fully booked... so you have to take outside table". duh.... so stuck up! many complaints but seriously they are not good when the restaurant gets crowded... the last time when i was there for early dinner it was actually quite enjoyable... the oxtail stew and lobster bisque was good... but nw i must say.... their aglio olio SUCKS! tasted like just boiled in water and served... no fragrant olive oil/ garlic/ herb taste... just plain plain plain... i had to douse mine with generous tabasco, cheese flakes and "gunpowder"... so verdict: i don't think i would return. at least the company was good... and we had a lot of laughs...trying to gobble our food before the industrial fan froze them.

sat was also exclusively evil twin's day... dim sum brunch at nobel house - VERY GOOD la! must try: ribs, steamed beancurd rolls and chicken feet...can miss: steamed turnip cake, gui lin gao.
for a sick person... i had a very good appetite.

we stopped by to do a mani/ pedi just for fun. shopping at the new place central...there were many little shops... but everything's so new and not many outlets were open. i was soooo amazed by this jap snack shop at B1... basically they look like gifts people who go japan bring back for you...wrapped nice nice, price is reasonable and all look yummy la...must try next time.

And there was a waraku pasta place!!! i love jap pasta place! and look at their display! so yummy... must try also! look so appetising! rows and rows of food display!

dinner at cineleisure (bleahhhh... a foodcourt definitely not known for its food but more for their look-alike korean boys!) and a movie : Fractured. the movie was average... abt an old man who planned the "perfect" murder of his adulterous wife... haha... i just couldn't figure out the ending of the show, just can't tie 1 and 1 together... go and watch and let me know... haha...anthony hopkins look totally psycho in it la.... ala hannibal lecter-style... and he has gotten quite old and errr... fat... ryan gosling... i think his look grew on me la.

heee... ok la... i need to nap again... here are some pics from before... i finally found my mobile cable so downloaded them onto my pc...

us in bkk in march??... at this amazing club at RCA... the club has a live band in the toilet lorrrr
the bandme and my favourite car... the maserati!!! found it in the CP of pasir panjang... to the owner of the car: ur car is nice... pls dont mind that i took a picture with it ok?
heee... us... at the stroke of midnight of 5 May

always...trust your guts

so here i am. thinking, sulking, pouting. i just can't believe i got doped by a smelly boys again. it's ok. we have concluded that boys are smelly much much earlier and it was my fault to believe otherwise that night huh. it's ok. i is strong... i will just dust my butt and move on anyways it wasn't that bad a fall. it was reassuring to know that i, being a cynic and non-believer, somehow could still like someone again... no doubt the wrong someone... and now i am back to being a cynic who's kicking her arse for not trusting my guts earlier... boys are smelly la!

i think it's easier to stick with boys with whom you have no expectations of and who gives you no false expectations, no doubt they are also smelly. i hate expectations. you have them you will just end up disappointed.

there's this book i was reading. it really struck a cord with me, on how the lady of the story dealt with heartbreak, being single and insecure (she's a larger woman and also was a single mom). it brought back flashbacks of the pain of my past. i guess it was a good thing in a way. as it just felt that this recent episode is nothing compared to what happened in the past for me. i found 2 paras that kind of gave me strength and i really want to remember them.

"Here you are. You are here. And you move forward because that's the way it works; that's the only place you can go. You keep going until it stops hurting, or until you find new things to hurt you worse, i guess. And that is the human condition, all of us lurching along in our own private miseries, becasuse that's the way it is. Because, i guess, God didn't give us any choice. You grow up, you learn." - HAVE I NOT GROWN UP YET???

"I learned that things don't always go turn out the way you planned, or the way you think they should. And I've learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I've learned that some broken things stay broken, and I've learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you."
