steamboat!

Had a great day out with mich today! was supposed to be a troop outing lah, but than one by one ppl cmi, till there was just the two of us left...

i was actually a bit worried that there'll be periods of awkward and sad silence since i'm such a terrible conversation started, but meh, my worries were unfounded. had such a great time catching up with mich... i think it's been such a long time since i had a nice chat with anyone... besides my sis.

gotta find a date for troop outing again... someday where we can actually get hold of sandra, mich, and ASH. ash is forever gng mia at the very very last min lah! all her family commitments and all... sometimes i just she didnt have that many aunts/uncles/grandparents to visit and all lol. and like she always goes missing after u sms her or talk to her on fb a few times! so hard to get hold of her lah!

anyway we had steamboat at some place opp bugis junction today. the food was soso... like the usual steamboat buffet stuff like flower crab, frozen scallops n mussels, pork(oh yes pork, since ash isnt here today haha, else u'd have gone soul garderns since mich had a steamboat craving haha)/beef/mutton, fish, fish/meat/crab balls/cakes, pork liver + another pork innard that idk the name in english of (+ too lazy to check). oh there was blood cockles and loads of marinated stuff for bbq. the shop we went to offers bbq + steamboat for 20bucks per pax, steamboat only for 18. the bbq wasn’t very gd tho, maybe cos we paid scant attention to the food and the meat ended up either charred, undercooked, or overcooked (and i don't really like heavily marinated food).... well steamboat isnt much better either, just that the food only ends up being overcooked and very tough. its like i was just happily chatting away and totally not paying attention to watever's in the pot while mich happily adds more and more food to cook... so yeah. overcooked food. 20 bucks... kinda ex yeah? was it so ex when i went for steamboat with my crusades friends to the shop in the opposite street like last year? i can't rem... but well... inflation inflation. cost of living goes up, wages stay as low as ever. hurrah!

i'm a really bad person when it comes to keeping in touch with others. i use facebook mostly to play mousehunt... and now to upload a couple of pics i took... hardly actively check ppl up. msn? even worst... i only talk to ppl if i need to, like if there's a project work or smthing... same for sms n calling. its been a really long time since we had a troop outing together... i think the last was... the one we went soul gardens or smthing. now when did that take place? oh that was hilarious. the dozen or so eggs that mich + ash took... they were in love with eggs but... in the end we had a huge mountain of leftover eggs... -.-''' ha i kept making fun of mich abt it today. *looks at the clock* oh dang, its yesterday. i prefer to think abt days as my waking hours, and the separator between today and tmr as when i go to bed.

can't wait to see ash + sandra... its been a while...! and oh yesh, jlf is coming back tmr yay! said she'll be free later next week to go out or smthing! XD its been like 2 years since she came back to sg... but now she'll be back for a yr to work b4 doing her pHd. can't wait to see her again!

@jlf: an early welcome back to sg

@ash: *squishes* when are you free! me + my sis want lepak with u lah. and anyone else wanna join us?

@sandra: miss u lots! time flies and gosh... i shd talk more to u on msn ><
