met up with mandy after work. rushed home to get the car so that i can show off pick her up.

bad idea. heh. mandy got trigger happy in the car. everytime a flash go off, i immediately look into the rear view to check which bastard was flashing his headlights. but alas, it was mandyy, snapping away on her little camera, blinding me with her camera flash.
mandyy & mebefore our lil meet up, she suggested that it'd be fun to exchange baby photos to laugh at during dinner.
yet another bad idea. heh.
i took out my cutest albeit embarassing photos to share.while she brought her nude baby and crib photos.of course i cant possibly upload the nude photos. partly coz it's indecent exposure and i may get in trouble with some blog authorities. but mostly coz i dont have it. *shrugs*

so we had our laughs, although at my expense, through dinner at pasta mania.how much have we changed??
we had a great heart to heart chat after everything. it was so easy chatting about stuff that i've kept bottled up. i didnt feel like i needed to protect myself or cover-up details. a special friend indeed.

i love grocery shopping! but the bf knows my impulsive buying habit, so he'd always feed me first then bring me grocery shopping. that way, i won't feel like throwing anything and everything i like into the trolley. darn.
so although i had beef pepper rice from pepper lunch in my tummy.. we still raked up a whooping 100 bucks in groceries from giant at imm. hehwah lau.. it's the first time i collected such a long receipt la. 31 items. it felt so much like i was living on my own. getting stuff like soap, shower foam, tea, snacks, chocolates, fruits, canned fruits, pet food..etc. heh, grocery shopping therapy.

P.S. not all the items are mine la.. half are his. really.

read about the deliciously juicy and tender black pig tonkatsu from Central Tom Ton on ieatishootipost's blog.

i thought it'd be worth a try. i was famished by the time we got our table.
this is what we ordered.

top grade black pig tonkatsu, comes with salad, rice and miso.

black pig sukiyakithe black pig tonkatsu was juicy and had alot of bite. the rice was fragrant and just the right amount of stickiness. not too wet, not too dry, not too sticky and messy. just nice and very chewy. and the miso was wow. not the usual ready mix with tiny cubes of tofu and seaweed. this miso was packed with shredded chicken, onions & carrots. full body flavour that was very appetizing. the sukiyaki wasnt bad. the soup base was overly sweet tho. overall, i dont think it was good enough to make me go back again.

caught sight of fireworks. found out it was for some fireworks celebration at marina bay on the 17th and 18th august. decided to catch the full view of it on 18th.

bad decision to go watch the fireworks. i think everyone doesnt get bored of seeing the fireworks. even though it means heavy traffic, closed roads, full carparks, full house restaurants in the suntec city/marina square/raffles city area, impatient diners, hordes of people, etc.. each time there is a fireworks display. i dont know how people brave it time and again. each time i watch the fireworks, i'd tell myself i wont go through the drama again, and i'm getting tired of it.
nig and i braved it this time, he dropped me off at src coz that *beep* club decided to close its carpark to members only but a car queue formed anyway. wth right. bad idea to drop me off though. he got stuck circling the suntec city/marina square/raffles city/parliament area for an hour trying to find a carpark lot.

all that frustration and hassle just for these:

not that spectacular afterall. all the displays were like the previous. same type of fireworks but dancing to a different tune..like duhh. there should be breakthrough in the pyrotechnics man. it's getting more boring each time.

but..i had a good dinner after the fireworks tho! we stayed at bibik@padang in src coz we didnt really want to get stuck in the human and traffic jam trying to get to another place for dinner.

seafood hor fun (damn shiok) and seafood fried rice.

havent had a good nights' sleep since saturday. maybe i did or said something wrong during the company's 5th day of the 7th month prayer/offerings which was during work on friday.i dont usually sleep so lightly and wake up so often in the night. i was drifting in and out of sleep the whole of friday night/saturday morning. woke up first at 4.30am then every subsequent hour or 2 after that. it was the same thing on sunday morning and monday morning just not at the same specific time. i would have been freaked out if it was at the exact same time.
having rather creepy dreams as well...not of the paranormal but more of a sinister nature.one that i remember more vividly is as follows:

i happened to be in an apartment with a woman and 2 kids. i dont know how i was related to her, but she was ushering her kids to sleep in a secure room. the place, which i assume was hers, was in a huge mess. the windows were smashed and the floor was covered with trash and strewn clothes. i guess i wasnt supposed to be there, coz i went to hide behind a door when a person came barging through the front door. the man began to abuse and violate the woman. although i was hiding behind a door, it was more like a screen that i could see through. the most curious thing was that the man seem to know i was there. here comes the complicated part. i knew i was dreaming. i knew i wasn't actually at the scene. but i felt that man's stare through the door. it was as if our eyes were locked on each other. i felt the words he spat at me even though i didnt understand them. i just remained crouched behind the door and stared back in fear.

my mum reckons it is because it is the 7th month, thus such occurances. she advises that i should be more careful while i'm out and not to stay out late. a friend i told the story to said that i probably have an issue that is bothering me subconsciously.
although i don't feel particularly tired or lethargic due to the lack of sleep, the waking up at night and light sleep kinda creeps me out.
