I hate to sound primary school-ish but today had been the greatest fucking day of my holidays so far!
What seemed like a normal day out with a really good friend turned out to be something special. I mean, the company with her has always been great (Your company always do mean a lot to me, Zaidah.. I'm really sorry if I seem awfully quiet and a bore =/ ). It was just the places she brought me was really an eye-opener.
First up, she brought me to a pancakes restaurant for lunch. The little restaurant, disguised as a quaint and colourful house, was located around some pubs and LAN shops in Dhoby Ghaut and I did not know of its existence until now. But, oh my whatever-deity, was it savoury! Never had pancakes like this before. It was pretty damn good. And I thumbs up the recommendation. It passed my taste bud sensors and scored an E for Excellent! Congratulations, Strictly Pancakes, you passed the buds.
After that, we went to nearby shopping mall to search for Zaidah's stuff. Had no idea what it was until I saw the shop and I was thinking: Man! How do you know all these places?! Anyway, the shop sells a specialized type of cameras that produce unique-looking pictures. Lomography is the term, if I'm not wrong. I ain't too sure about what the different type of cameras do also...
I looked around the shop, marveled by the different types of cameras, pictures and displays. I was really taken aback by what I saw and I scrutinized almost everything in it. I thought the dim lights and choice of old (It sounded old to me... =/ but it was awesome music) music gave the shop a distinct feel and distinguishable look from the rest in that mall.
Accompanied her to get Swiss Rolls afterwards. Then we had teh tarik along a small street in Bugis. Honestly, I thought that was the end of the day until she drove us to a pier around Marina to enjoy some sights and relax over there. We were nearly drenched to our jeans. I was drenched throughout though...
Nevertheless, it was a spectacular day. Right now, my life at home is just one big definite bore and Zaidah brought me out of the mundane to unfamiliar yet exciting places I didn't know exist.
I think I can safely say that Singapore still has a lot new venues to explore for me.
