Ikan sakit kepala

that's what my kakak said!! poor thing....another one bites the dust..
i don't know why my parrotfish drop like flies..can't be cause of the water cause we change it regularly. we're thinking of getting rid of the whole thing, tank and all. any takers?

finally got Genius his long-deserved Starbucks drink, he had a Mocha Praline something-or-other (left) with chocolate chips added and i had a small green tea frappe. the whole outlet is pretty cool, had a small display at the end counter where you get your drinks, on how the coffee bean is processed, and had the real beans in a trough-like thing.

we were sitting there talking about how we should have brought a laptop to wifi and how the girl who walked past was walking like a horse (no idea, i didn't see her) when his mobile/cell/handphone rang. saw it was Chipmunk so i answered with a breathy "hahloo dahlingg" :D he said they'd ordered a kilo of prawns at the Second Place so we rushed over.

Second Place is starting to sound a bit stupid, will call it BM from now on. they were already tucking into the above when we arrived, was surprised to see just the two of them, the lion and Chipmunk. i didn't try this cos of the whole weight gain thing :P Genius said it was "ok lah" (again!), apparently not much of the butter taste in it.

this one was an absolute beaut of a dish though, the white stuff is eggwhite, which is steamed along with the prawns. there was quite a bit of cooking wine in this, most probably cause the lion ordered it and the guy who makes it knows his taste *ahem* unfortunately the taste didn't really get thru the shells, but it was still good, was munching away on the ginger and the eggwhite. tried one of the coriander leaves, which i usually love, but this one tasted wayy too chemical-y, i'm still trying not to think about it :S

a discreet click was heard tonight. wasn't sure, so i asked Genius and he said he thinks the same too. am prettyyy amused and ego-boost now :D :D :D and i was looking like crap tonight too, cause i didn't wash my hair! but still :) will go to sleep feeling pleased tonight :)

at the end..

i'm going to hate myself sooo much for staying up this late to blog, but it's good to look back on the day, i think it sort of helps to train my seemingly-failing memory.

Genius said he would go with me to Starbucks as i owe him a birthday drink cause i didn't get a cake for his birthday (which reminds me, have yet to post the earrings he got me). so we went off to the airport but then didn't go down cause i guess we didn't really feel like it tonight, he's promised to come with me next week though, he'd better!!

didn't think i would go but ended up at the Second Place again tonight. the lion made endless insinuating jokes, i think cause i was the only girl there, if JF had been there, the attention would have been on her instead :D i like her a lot, she is pretty and nice as well, that's kind of hard to find, but i'm not exactly sure if she really likes me or is just being polite. yeah yeah, low self-esteem showing up again, so? :P

a surprise dish came out again, the only unsurprising thing about it was that it was DAMN bloody spicy. i didn't have any, only the eyes which i couldn't resist ;) as i'd had a huge dinner (yes, of which i forgot to take photos :P) before that which had also consisted of a dish of fish head curry. both are equally good, 'ge you ge de te dian' ROFL can't type chinese cos using office laptop.

so had a few good laughs, came home and hung out with Tassie and Co. (with whom i'm going to Ten Ichi tomorrow, and may possibly get to see the lion dressed up ;)) and had more laughs.

but then. i went up to my room at the end of the night and saw a purple envelope on my laptop next to my bed. definitely a good sign that i didn't recognise it, or the handwriting in front either. when i opened it and saw the black and white photo of the yowling kitten in front of the card, i just went back to feeling resigned again.

it was a christmas card, from the first christmas together apart. i shouldn't have, but i read the contents again and felt the familiar twinge of heartache from the past half year. but it wasn't too bad this time.

i think i'm getting better :) almost there now.
