Thoughts of a 'Man'

please be happy when you read this entry... i've started to see peace as i have always conceptualised it to be, which have always been missing and only an experience belonging to a few ppl.

Today was one of the best days i had this year.. Through out the day, just spending time with friends...ppl that i've always been with, but felt like i haven't been in touch with them for a long time. In the morning school was a real bore...the chinese new year celebrations were a real bore...we had this 'lou hei' competition and each class were to get their own ingredients for it..ours had many ingredients which taste bad all together..they were all seasoned titbits and some other disgusting preserved foods...you don't want to know, trust me....the concert was worse, there is nothing in it i can go on about...well, for the friends who have been around to talk to, everything was over much much faster then it really had been...

anyway, i met up with some of my secondary school friends...me woeny chung lk, duck and eileen...we headed to town and immediately went to suki sushi buffet for lunch from 1200 to about 1500....well suki sushi has low quality food, but its quantity and variety which was attractive....some of the dishes i could remember having were, all the fried tempura stuff...fried mushrooms, fried squids, fried octopus balls, fried salmon skins, fried soft shell crab, baked or fried oysters, fried tofu...cannot rmb...some soba, some sushi, sashimi, handrolls, some icecream puffs....ok...i think its not really worth it...actually it was..but i feel like i was gorging myself with rubbish and junk food for $20

ok after that...we strolled around the place, esp around the shops-exhibits at cathay...it really is the nicest place in town to me, it was quiet before which i liked, but now with more interesting shops around, its just how it feels to be in touch with art....

time was passing quite slowly actually...was getting really sleepy and all, and sitting down at benches and couches lined along the malls each time we past some of them.....we had nothing to do really, but it felt sweet, tranquil to me....so it wasn't right to go watch a movie either..we decided to go woen chengs house to chill and play majong.........along the way was watching 'jarhead' on linkang's ipod.....nice...didn't get to watch it all..not sure if it was exactly a war movie...it was more like a, i don't know what you call it, movie on army life......

when we got to woencheng's house, we played mahjong for a few rounds...lighthearted entertainment, and of course more food...we had lots of fried 'wuxiang'. direct translation= five spices....homemade...after chilling...

we decided its time to go for dinner.....there were only me serchung and woencheng left anyway...we decided to check out the italian restaurant & bar just by the neighbourhood....heard from my sis its good food for good price with good atmosphere & lightings......

the restaurant wwas dimly lit, we were like dwarves amongst the tall furniture...we had to climb up the tall cushioned benches where our legs hung in mid air...we already had a heavy lunch...so we decided to spend a little and had the purpose of just sampling the food....we had pizzas that were stone-oven? baked thinly crusted pizzas.....first we ordered miale(me-ah-leh) pizza....it had bacon and mushrooms...and i don't remember...ok it was good pizza, or high-end pizza....lots of quality mozzerella....we were also served warm bread with olive oil and vinegar?(the black substance in vanaigrette....not sure if its authentic or what italians have..)............we also had 'Jumbo Sausages' with caramelled onions....and.......mustard....while eating..we decided the food was so good, that we had to call weiyan to join us..so we did...and she came down.lol...the other pizza we ordered later was pollo....pizza topped with chicken dipped in pesto..olives........each 12 inch in diameter(picture one foot sandwich in subway) pizza, delight that cost only $15!!....and so i had a heavy dinner...5 slices altogether and with some sausages...

ok...everything...godly....company was godly too....felt like being in a mastercard commercial....

Sushi buffet: $20. Ingredients for Wu Xiang: $4. 2 Stone ovened thinly crusted pizzas: $15 each. Jumbo sausages with onions: $8. People and laughter to dine with: Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy, but for everything else, There's 'cash'

ahhhhh....Hope i could have shared this with as many ppl as possible, but unfortunately for the few ppl who did, thx for the great time........
