escape!
we went to escape theme park @ downtown east today.
we took most of the rides at the park including the pirate ship, the haunted house, the bumper boats and the 2 spinning rides. don't know what their names were though. the thrill rides made us realise tt we kind of lose tt fear through age (we weren't scared by any of the rides at all), the haunted house was a real let-down and the air-con wasn't even cold, and we got seriously wet at the bumper boats coz we kena shot at by everyone. especially me. but i got to soak quite a few people, including unsuspecting passers-by unlucky enough to be within the range of my water gun.
we also did 1 round on the basic go kart track and 3 rounds on the advanced; with he and i racing through the last round. the wait was damn long tho. 45 min for the last round... until he was once again, doing this:
nb but his car in the last round was more powerful than mine; it was the only reason why he could overtake me. in the second round when i was taking tt car i could overtake the 4 cars in front of me as well *sticks tongue out*. but tt being said, some of the go kart drivers seriously cmi. and i hate to say this, but a majority of them are female. *slaps head* aiyoh. give us girls a damn bad name. sigh.
a lot of si geenas around too. coz it's a school holiday. most of the people at escape were half or a third our age. either tt, or they were parents bringing their kids for a fun day outside (and out of their hair). but then again, i also looked like a si geena myself (i dressed like most of the teenagers), so i could somehow get away with it. but coz he was hanging around with me, he was checked for ID for the first in a long time when he was buying cigarettes. hilarious!
oh, and ben won me a horse and a whale soft toy! the whale was huge! i call it orca, but he's got some weird-ass long name for it tt i can't be bothered to remember.
ben holding up said whale.
and me with the whale. yes, do i look like a si geena to you? i know tt my clothes totally don't match - orange top with black/yellow berms and bright pink slippers. fashion disaster of the year. sigh.
oh, and if i don't look si geena-ish to you yet...
how about this? me with teh-ping. acting cute.
finally, here are the escape mushy pics...
mush alert: please scroll down quickly if you don't wish to see all 3 of them.

after escape, we went over to geylang for an early dinner.
this looks like undeveloped singapore. hee hee.
we had frog leg porridge there. YUM. i like! :) or i love. i love frogs... eating them tt is.
and then coz i was getting so hot and sweaty and sticky tt i was this close to killing my bf... he decided tt it would be a good time to get back on the mrt. but because there weren't enough seats on board, i caught his disease:
the squatting disease. wahaha. i die, like tt. i am inheriting some of his ah beng traits now.
we then ended up at holland v for the rest of our dinner at tcc:
for me, mushroom gratin (below)...
... with an ultimate hazelnut frappe and my irresistable dark devotion warm chocolate lava cake with ice-cream and raspberry puree.
yay!
...and he held me until i felt loved again.
now playing: hotel costes - cafe de flor
