absolutum dominium

had lunch with subhas. gone to the office instead of court in the morning coz i had to settle quite a fair bit of work. i still have quite a fair bit to settle, still. but lunch was decent. this japanese restaurant at the basement of my workplace. unagidon set. also had coffee after lunch (milo for me) and kaya toast. yummy but heavy.

mina and i went back to the high court after lunch for the murder trial tt we're sitting in on. today they were cross-examining the pathologist. talk about damning evidence. i found out how different blows from a claw hammer depending on whether the base or claw is used, the amount of force used, the angle of the blow as a result of where the assailant was standing, or even the position of the victim's body, could all be determined from the nature of th injuries.

which were pretty fucking severe. skull fractures were the order of the day. facial fractures - i.e. chunks of bone being ripped right out off the face - were also recurring; and in the probable fatal blow brain matter was oozing out of the cranial cavity post-blow.

whoopee.

and the pathologist is admirable. he speaks so eloquently. the only time you can actually think of such wounds as romantic... is when he uses phrases such as "a constellation of injuries."

after court ended for the evening, i met ben at raffles city. we had an early dinner @ din tai fung - my first time there ever - where i tried the xiao long bao and hot and sour soup. then we walked over to marina square to get tickets for the 7.30pm movie - nacho libre.

with 1 hour to spare before the movie, we decided tt tt was ample time for ben to pop by chapter 2 to get his hair cut. the male stylist spent an impeccably long time on his hair, trying to ensure tt all was in good order. he was such a perfectionist and he treated ben's hair as his masterpiece.

except tt post-haircut, while ben still looks as cute as ever... he now looks like a singapore idol wannabe.

and younger than me. i have a feeling tt the bouncers at zouk are going to check his id when we go clubbing. wahaha.

nacho libre was fucking stupid. but fucking funny. actually i wanted to watch it mainly coz the movie was set in mexico, and i miss tt place a lot.

after tt, i was hungry so i dragged ben to kenny roger's so i could eat the macaroni and cheese.

and then he sent me home.

i realise tt we don't really care about so-called standards of decency. we kiss everywhere. wahahahaha.
