Excuse me, but my life is waiting.

I have been single for more than 2 months now. And guess what? I am really happy. Completely liberated. I am me again!

In fact, I’ve never felt better. I’m doing the things I really want, without having to answer to anyone. No obligations, no stress. Wow.
I never really expected to be quite so happy. I thought I’d be miserably lonely, pathetically abandoned and totally forlorn.

Surprise, surprise. I’m not! In fact, life couldn’t be better! Life is great without rebounds! Hahahaha!

I don’t know if I feel this way (being overjoyed at being free) because the last relationship was so bad, or if it’s because it’s been too long since the last time I’ve had time to myself. Or perhaps, it could be that even I, the eternal romantic, has gotten weary of the dating game.

I don’t know. Playing games with people is tiring. Maybe I’ve grown up.

But really, dating should be fun. Being in love is fun. Being part of the 2 is definitely fun. So, why is everyone around me sounding so jaded? We really shouldn’t carry the emotional baggage from one relationship over to another. It should always be a fresh start since no 2 people are the same.

Yes, so the rest period is crucial. We need to become truly ourselves again, before we begin another journey with someone else.

So Alvin, if you happen to be reading this, take heart. Stop asking me if I have a new beau already. >_people, start smiling! Life is too short to keep pondering over the “what ifs” and “should Is”. It’s too short to be serious all the time.

Just go do it! You’ll never know if you don’t try. It’ll never be yours if you don’t start. And it doesn’t matter if you fail because it’s no big deal.

Well, it’s never a big deal in retrospect anyway.

Haha.

Went galivanting with Mich and Jingjing today after work instead of gg home to practice piano and pack my room as planned originally (yeah, what’s new huh?). I ended up buying some grey woolly couplet and drinking a few pints of Boddington, Hoegarden and Stella.

But you know what?

I MISS MY GIRLY OUTINGS!

It’s been really awhile since I last felt so good…so alive, so me.

We really talked about everything, and anything. It’s really great to be among friends, to be able to say what you want, without them judging you.

Well, not that it really matters if someone judges you since you ought to do what you want to do, but it always feels better if nobody judges you, all the same.

All in all, a good outing.

I just found out that there are flavoured ciggies for sale in SG.
And they come in flavours such as strawberry, orange, cherry and apple. So fun!

Guess how i knew about it??

From Desmond of course! Nah, he’s not gay..he just likes smoking girly ciggies and posing like one. wahahhaa…

But it’s okay. We still like him.

Hello.

Yes, this post is about food again.

Met up with Xiangrong (who incidentally MIA for like god knows how long!!) and two of his friends, John and Nicholas yday for dinner at Clarke Quay. We went to this place called Fish Tales because XR just had to have oysters for dinner and apparently, the oysters at Fish Tales are particularly cheap on Wednesdays.

Anyway, the oysters were going for a dollar each. So I guess, yeah, cheap. But they were quite small though.

I had NZ Pink Snapper while XR had the Black Cod. Portions a little small though. I have learnt that cod is yummier than snapper. Haha.

Oh, and here’s me with my Erdinger White!

After dinner, we went for ice-cream at Hagen Daz. Sinful!

I had green tea, brandied cherry and mocha choc chip with strawberry and hot fudge topping. Er, the cone that is stabbed in the middle was by courtesy of Nicholas. He was thick skinned enough to request for cones despite the fact that we were dining in.

This is Nic, with his ice cream and inverted cone, acting silly. Haha.

Here’s Nic again, pretending to pee a fountain. Hahaha.

He wasn’t too successful though. The water is going the wrong way! hahaha.

Here’s Nic and XR wearing my earrings. Gay right? Wahahaa.

Yday, David brought me to Upp Serangoon to eat steamboat for dinner.

Wow. Nicest steamboat i’ve had! The soup base is the best! As good as, if not better than, the PS fish soup! Yummy!

Unlike the usual steamboat (maybe I’m just sua ku and ignorant..so far all the steamboats that i’ve eaten are like that) where there put candles/flames to keep the soup hot, this one used real charcoal. And the charcoal is not placed under, it’s actually dumped inside the spoke/Chimney thing. So the soup is never too hot to bubble over or splash up. Cool, huh?

The only drawback? The smoke gets in the eyes. I didn’t take any pics of myself because i kept squinting…wind was blowing in the wrong direction lah! So, only pics of David being a pig. Wahahaha.

Oh, oh…and the bacon rolls and fried squid are the BEST! Absolutely delicious!

Yes, fuck the diet and the healthy lifestyle. hahaha…

Went to this pretty cool jazz lounge at Ritz Carlton yday…it’s really a very nice place. The band there is fantastic! We hung out til 1am..which explains my extremely puffy eyes today.

This is me, Boon and Evelyn. The setting so nice right? Yellow lights and all.

Left Euphoria, Right Mojito.

I had a Euphoria. So cool right? Hehe..the glass is so tall. Wanted to hook arms with Boon to drink, but the damn glass stem was too long. *sigh*

David had the Mojito..some drink with many mint leaves in it. He didn’t really like it though, think he didn’t appreciate the leaves in his cup. I thought it looked it like grass in soda water. Hehe..

Left to right: Corona, Kir Royale and Afterglow

Boon and Mich had an Afterglow. Some rum + banana + dunnowhat drink. Not too bad, though it reminds me slightly of cough syrup. While Evelyn had the Kir Royale. It’s really yummy..but there are some funny black stony stuff in it which sink to the bottom of the glass after a while. Wonder what are they.

Anybody knows?

BTW, the jazz lounge serves very interesting nuts. The nuts there all pretend to be something else. The cashews taste exactly like eggs and the almonds are spicy.

Hahaha…Quite interesting.
