Today was destined to be nothing else but a gd day.. ^^
Not even a lack of sleep, rainy weather or exploding expendatures could stop it.. The reason why? =P
I had 2 beautiful ladies entertaining me till the early morning on the phone. We chatted from about 11.30pm till 2+ about all sorts of sweet things.. and the same 2 who invited me this day for lunch at Taka. =D
The day didn't really start out so well though.. i stepped out of my house at about 11am, fulling meaning to get to Yishun on time, when no more than 100m from my door, the sky decided hurl a torrent of rain upon my path.. =T
i thought it was ok innitially, cuz i brought an umbrella with me.. but soon enough i realised the umbrella was really really too small, and my shoes were totally getting drenched partly cuz its not even splash-proof like my previous pair =X needless to say, the moment i caught a glimpse of a taxi, i immediately jumped at the chance to escape my misery!
well, i arrived at their place well earlier than i expected.. but fortunately, they were alr awake and getting prepared =P the rain stopped as abruptedly as it began, and the rest of the day was a sunny one =)
Oh, did i mention? i just got a hand-me down camera from my parents!! well, its not the top kinda quality considering phones now have up to 5 megapix.. but after being away from cameras for so long.. i guess its kinda a novel thing all over again =P here's a pic of the girls and their little sister (at Yishun MRT) who was dragged along with us since her exam in the morning finished and they couldn't bear to leave her at home xD
Well, i'm ok with that.. could start interrogating her for more info abt her sisters! bwahaha.. *insert evil laugh here* ^^
Here's at the restaurant at Taka.. not sure what's its called.. but i think i vaguely rmb seeing a sign saying "Family international Buffet". Hehe, sadly forgot about my camera's existance till after my crab encounter.. where i now completely understand why crab isn't a dish served on an European table.. There's absolutely no way to eat it with fork and knife! and even with hands, it was still quite a pain =X
(btw, that's crab on Amby's plate *shudders* go ask the twins if you want to know the rest of the story..)
Hehe.. This pic's of Adel after she tried a herbal jelly that's been passed arnd the table.. at 1st she claimed "its just bitter cuz you guys nv add honey la".. but somehow my camera caught a different expression from her.. haha.. does a camera lie? =P
Here's another one of adel with her dessert plate.. on the left is some coffee cup chocolates that all of us agreed was worth 2nd helpings.. that's some cheesecake in the center, followed by chocolate fondue marshmellows on the right =)
Adel's idea.. presenting, Adel and me Crossing our chocolate fondue marshies!!.. haha..
Finally a normal pic of their sister Jasmine, after she decided to stop moving and smile at the camera =P (the last 2 attempts were blurred)
and the last pic i have to show.. another pic of Amby with the coffee cup chocs in hand.. =) if you observant, you'll notice the last 4 pics all had this same choc in it.. cuz all of us die die wanted to try it no matter how stuffed we were =P (plans were made to steal this choc from jasmine, cuz she hasn't finished hers yet at this time.. but well, cannot bully small girl la xP )
That was just the afternoon.. after we parted cuz they both had to work.. Towards evening, i even managed to meet up with Jinghui and get the long-awaited Dizi-s I've asked for ages ago =D *squee!!* finally i have a flute to play arnd with.. haha..
It was just a random thought i had while i was returning home, but there were lotsa co-incidences this day.. where lotsa things just worked out.. for example, the rain caused me to reach Yishun earlier, and the taxi seriously just pop-ed out of nowhere.. As a result, we reached the buffet in time, with 1 and a 1/2 hour before the end.. just enough time to comfortably finish lunch before they closed for lunchbreak.. (whereas if the rain/taxi didn't come.. i doubt we'd have eaten there..)
Also, we had time to snap some neoprints before they left! haha.. i'll post those another time =)
meeting up with Jinghui was also by chance.. as she just msg-ed me out of the blue saying she's back in S'pore, and she brought the dizi-s along too!! oh ya.. it was claire's bdae a few days back, and we even got a prezzie for her too!! this cute piano styled bag from Bugis, which costed us quite a fair bit.. at 1st we were wondering how to meet up with her to pass her the prezzie, cuz both of us were really busy.. but on my way home on the mrt, i decided to try giving her a ring to see if she's free..
She was =O
Haha.. was it mere co-incidence? or magic of some sort? =P
well, i'd like to thing there's some Magic in this world.. A magic that some ever-youthful, chibi-characters bring into my life =P
Oh, did i mention that Adel's taking art? and Amby's into adventure sports? ;) heck, even Jinghui's gd at dizi.. (jasmine, just met her today so.. xP )
I'm not sure if there are real elves in this world.. but if they are, I'm almost certain who to suspect.. =P
A day spent enchanted by the Elves.. Could it be anything else, but enjoyable? =)
