a speedy journey up north (and down south) of singapore
saturday was the day i had my first nasi lemak since coming back to singapore - and it was the damn good famous nasi lemak from adam road. the chilli did me in though, as i was to realise later.
then, after tagging along with my dad for a bit, i went to join ben at bukit batok, where we decided tt with 4 hours to kill before meeting his mom to watch this movie at 7 pm, we had nothing to do...
except, in air-con comfort, to take a reeeaaally scenic mrt ride up the north-south line - from bukit batok thru to woodlands and down to orchard.
tt was my first time so far up north of the mrt line. seeeriously. i didn't know tt admiralty was actually a place and tt sembawang wasn't uluville. oops. apologies to people possibly living there.
we then walked over thru the heavy rain to the starbucks at modesto's, for this:

yes, this iced mocha and company is all for me.

me is a happy girl.

ben, he don't need so much. cigarette can liao.

this is the view from the al fresco starbucks...
where we spent an hour or so till we decided it was time to return to bukit batok for a burger king dinner, in time to watch - get this - 'silent hill' (which his mom bought) with his mom and her friend.
so we watched silent hill. hmm.
after tt, we had supper at boon tong kee at upper bukit timah road, and ben sent me home.
oh, and he wasn't squatting today.

sitting and smoking. thank god for overhead bridge steps. ;)
oh, and i need you. today was yet another emotionally draining day, and i feel very weary. sometimes i wonder what is the use of pressing on.
now playing: hotel costes - cafe de flor
