Feeling... happy Happiness of the day: going out with Poach. Event of the week: www.com this Friday We had bubbletea with Minz and her american friend at the Wisma Bubbletea places today...I didn't think that place would still be around, knowing how the shops at Wisma had a tendency to change hands. So imagine how glad I was, so sit in the same shop I used to go to when I was in sec 2. Of course, there was a period of time when the shop expanded, but apparently it couldn't handle the extra shop space, so now it's exactly the way it used to be. And I love it. After that, Poach and I walked around Wisma and Taka, shopping mostly for jewelry, since she didn't want to try clothes, and i didn't have any money to buy anymore. Haha...we even got lost, trying to get to the Taka library. Damn it, it seems like I'll never quite know that place well enough. Hah. or rather, think I'll never shake this blur-ness off. We went for dinner at this family japanese restaurant that we used to go to a lot, after finding out how expensive Prego's is now. Hmm. I always liked Japanese food better than Italian anyway, so I don't mind. It would be interesting to see if the captain we talked to at Prego's is still there. If he's still a captain. If he would remember us. And offer us free coffee/tea like before. HAha... I persuaded Poach to go to Boat Quay with me, to Harry's bar, cos I heard that they play live jazz/salsa music every monday. It turned out that today, they played salsa. Which is a very happy type of music, I must say, though I didn't know salsa, I felt like dancing. Of course, we didn't dance at all, and we had only one drink, because we felt a little uncomfortable there. first of all, the crowd there is significantly older than what we're used to. An old uncle tried to pick us up...though he was pretty civil, Poach was still rather disgusted by his attempt at picking up girls young enough to be his daughter. HAha..and his sweaty cold palms. Haha.. Then Poach got molested by this caucasion guy who feigned surprise at having touched her butt. of course, it's not supposed to be funny at all, but his half hearted look of surprise was very very amusing to me. At Poach's urging, I quickly finished my drink, and we got out of there. Then we sat along the river, and talked. The drink I had was called Purple Haze which didn't taste very potent, until I realised how hot my face felt after I finished the drink. Sitting by the river, it was very soothing, feeling the slightly warm breeze, and watching the waves break on the steps along the river bank. The Singapore night sky is starless, so unromantic. But it's still ok. I feel very contented. I want to go back to Harry's, when they have jazz, so maybe I can dance. I'll get Agnes to go with me, maybe a guy or two too, just so ugly old men with sweaty palms will not try to pick us up. I want to dance...but I think Agnes wouldn't dare to dance with me in public. Sigh. I wonder if Shaun or Melvin will be free to go with me, but I doubt it. I'd might as well wait for Priya to come back. Hmm. | |
