so yesterday after band prac, went out with zhiwen for dinner. it was great being able to spend time with him after so many days of him in camp the past week. and he does look absolutely nice and handsome in that new black shirt! makes him look very smart and no doubt, slimmer/skinner, whichever word sounds nicer to hear. well, while waiting at the mrt stn, i do see so many NS boys...all their army haircut. glad they all have this weekend break..the april batch of boys jus POP-ed i heard. no wonder they are crowding that area.

so zhiwen and i met at arnd 5.30pm. walked arnd at raffles city shopping center. boy! i liked cards and such there! not the usual design of shop..black but still, the things inside were nice! thereafter, went over to precious thoughts and saw the precious moments figurine. the new arrivals were fantastic and meaningful! never really checked the price but jus knowing the thought and effort these designers put inside were good enough for me. there was moses, daniel, joseph (in the OT), noah...tat's all i can rmb. i like joseph one the best. indeed, the story of Joseph is a fantastic one! one can learn much from it!

after that, at arnd 6pm plus, we decided to head down to our dinner place. when i reached there, i got a shock! i din noe that at such an early time, there wax already a queue! and that is quite long! the place was shokudo japanese food bazaar. it's like jap mache. so we joined the queue and when we told one of the assistant that we need a table for 2, we jumped the queue and went in first. wow! there were quite a number of tables for 2 people. no wonder. one thing that i like about this marche is that they give us a card-plate for us to reserve our table while we walk arnd and order food! great!

the choices there were great! we ordered omelette which was fantastic! absoultely! it was a big piece and there was the onion leaves! yay! then, we got the rosti which he liked it very much. we tried the mackerel fish soup. it was fantastic! the miso soup base was nice! not so salty for me. and the fish was delicious! i very much enjoyed that dish. i wanted very much to try the mushrooms one but sigh, it was slightly more expensive. anyway, me, wanting a balanced diet, we ordered veg too. and got bbq chicken and beef. the beef was very well done. wld very much liked to get the quail eggs..but i was thinking we had too many food that had alot of oil so don't wanna increase our cholestrol. haha. yar..the omelette, rosti and veg had quite alot of oil on it. oh. plus got california roll (which, come to think of it, it's overpriced) and a fruit juice. nevertheless, i very much loved dinner that day! it was a great first-time there! yay! oh! well, thankfully, we din over-spent. we each spend abt $21 which was expected for mache. ha.

after that, we walked arnd the market place, headed to esplanade and got drawn to a free performance at the concourse. they sang very very well! not only did they sing but they entertain us by their spontaneous remarks while engaging the audience too. sang cartoon songs and some love songs. boy, captain planet and ulti-mus prime isn't in my era but in zhiwen's. haha. so shared a bit. funny that we are only 2 years apart yet his cartoon shows aren't in my era. haha.

after the show, met bryan and greeted him a while. can't go rooftop which i very much liked to go there. it's been some time since i last went there. the library was closed too! so sad...so headed for a drink at harry's. heard a few songs from the live performer before heading home. it was too late to stay on. the performer was great too! sang very well!

boy! 960 took so long to come that we decided to take another bus to PS there and take 190 home. sigh. in the end, i really reached home late. bleah. and i was super sleepy fromt eh drink. hangover? i wonder wad liquor was in my drink that made me soooo sleepy. i'm not going to drink that cocktail nor that liquor again! thankfully, i wasn't sleepy during sermon. but had to move abt to keep myself awake during sunday school. so after lunch, slept for 1 hour plus. ha. feels much better now...

well, all in all, thanks Zhiwen for this night out! it was great! =)
