oh man! don't think i've spent so much money on food in my life!
met cel and aimei for lunch at taka's pasta cafe. had mushroom baked rice and oreo's cheesecake. the cake was really good. rich and creamy and cheesy. was super bloated after that. cel and aimei gave me a really pretty hamper :) a gorgeous purple dress bag. was thinking of buying it myself. heheh... within was a beautiful blue dreamcatcher. immediately hung it up in my room when i got back. it fits in perfectly on that baby blue wall next to my window. together with the glow-in-the-dark stars that my sisters put up yesterday on the dreamy, dark blue wall on the opposite side of my room, the room that i had dreamt of designing 3 years back is starting to take shape. :) thanks for the pretty purple hair clip and the "other" thing in the bag too! :) i promise i'll use them. you'll see. *grinz* man! can't wait for cel's up coming party! heheh... dunno what i'd do without you 2! us swinging sisters, charlie's angels, the 3 musketeers! love ya loads belles!
had to cab back to school straight after lunch for chinese. my mood just plunged to the pits. but seeing the smiling faces of my classmates perked me up a little. chinese was really boring. went through some words and that was about it. the time flied by really quickly. as usual, we were let off early. decided to meet aimei back at st nicks. had 2 cups of tantalising ice milo. i'm serious! nobody makes ice milo like uncle mobeen does. icy cold, creamy, rich, milo-ey... haha...think i'm going nuts. haven't been so crazy bout food in such a long time. feel like such a glutton. anyway, watched the syf modern dance item. i'm so proud of them, although i was never part of the cca. after that, me and aimei, took a slow walk round the school compound. from the canteen, past the family louge, to the staff room, past the sec 2 class rooms, the pm room, to the new extension, down the specs stand, past the d and t workshop, the net ball courts and the sunken forum, past the science labs, down the new specs, across the track, past the prayer room and back to the canteen. all the memories just came flooding back. those were the days. i wish they were back again. watched my juniors train for a while before leaving. they're getting better. its heartening to know that the spirit of st nicks gym is being lived up to. they're training really really hard. as hard as we did, maybe even more. i have confidence that sn gym will continue to bring glory to the school. we're the best and we'll always be the best! gambate!!!
when i reached home, i had a really nice surprise waiting for me. my sisters had baked a strawberry tart especially for me. its in the fridge right now. didn't want to kill my appetite before dinner and was too full to eat it after we came back. my sis brought us to this really quaint italian restaurant in holland v called la paolo. its nothing like paolo's in the teenage textbook. nope. it was as different as night and day. it's such a pretty little place. rattans lining the ceiling and the walls, greenery just beyond the glass windows. though it was dark outside, it felt as if we were eating in an outdoor garden on a cool, breezy summer's day. the appetisers were fantastic! the buffolo cheese was simply sumptious. had raw beef too, tho i didn't really know how to appreciate it. oh.. and fried squid too. for the main course, we had different types of pasta. pasta in tomato sauce, pasta in white wine, seafood pasta, spinach pasta in cream sauce and even pasta in squid ink! haha... it was all really tasty... and cheesy too... yum... had a little trouble placing our order tho.. cos the names were all in italian and we couldn't differentiate between the different types of pasta. in the end, the waiter very graciously taught us the difference between the diff kinds of pasta. mainly mee kia, green mee kia and mee pok. haha... what a hoot! really had the time of my life! the perfect evening was made even more delightful when the tiramisu cake came. it's the best cake i've eaten as far back as my limited memory will allow me to go. the bottom layer was soaked in saccharine rum. the chocolate was sweet but not too rich and the coffee was just right. not too strong, but just enough to give that tinge of bittersweetness. it was heavenly! it was soft and fluffy and abosolutely heavenly! i'm definitely going back again!
opps. looks like i past midnight again! dang! oh well... anywayz, happy swinging seventeen to me!
2 angels down. one more june baby to go!
