Early Morning @ Tiong Bahru

Ok, this entry will probably cost me a buck or two but I don't care cos I'm BORED.

Its just before 10am here at the BK in Tiong Bahru Plaza. Just dropped off the car so I have about 3 hours to kill before meeting wifey for lunch.

Just came down from the 4th floor cineplex. totally dark & deserted. Currently having a really slow drink. There's a few early birds here mostly in T-shirts and shorts. A couple of office wearers with laptops too. Probably insurance ppl.

There is also a lady here with a super short crewcut hairstyle (like a BMT recruit) reading a book with "Emotional Rollercoaster" in its title. I wonder what's her story.

A young couple (prob still schooling) just arrived not too long ago. The girl is now tutoring the guy in some subject, probably Math. Aww, so romantic :-p

I still can't decide if I should go to the library (was advised that it probably opens only at 1100) or somewhere else for window shopping.

Sigh, after all this tapping, only about 40 mins have passed. Think I shall start walking towards the library now. By the time I reach there they should be opening... as I'm leaving, crewcut lady is still reading her book and the young couple is still immersed in their notes. :-)

Therapeutic Drive

Wifey has a dinner appointment tonite. So on the way back, decided to take it easy and enjoy the drive.

Usually on a normal day it would be right lane all the way at full (but legal) speed. However, today I was at the leftmost lane doing 60km/h throughout the entire expressway part of the journey. Reaching Mandai, the top opened, windows came down and the volume went up! The cool evening breeze after a heavy afternoon downpour + loud music was simply fantastic. Sorry, no apologies for being a roadhog today! :-D

By the time I reached home and pulled into the basement carpark, Chris DeBurgh's "Lady in Red" was at full blast. It must have been pretty loud cos a number of residents were looking at me as I drove past.

Must do this again sometime soon!

Dad's Trip Down Under #2

continued from "Dad's Trip Down Under".

Surprise surprise, Dad wants to extend his trip! Considering the fact that he was so insistent that he didn't want to go at all 2 weeks ago! Anyway, we are all glad that he is enjoying himself with Danny. Have told Danny to take more photos to share.

I wonder how we ourselves will turn out after we hit 60. Will we be stubborn, mild, bitter, fierce, senile or still remain young at heart and keep up with the times? Will we still be able to remember old friends and make new ones? Although we can make a conscious effort but I guess only time will tell.

Flowers and French Food

Bought a hand bouquet for wifey for our Special Anniversary (yesterday). After that we had dinner at Vis-a-vis. We were the only ones in the restaurant for the first half hour and so the only waiter around became our personal butler. Service is good (10% service charge + 1% cess) and the food was nice but a tad expensive. Reminds me once again why we somehow can never appreciate fine dining.

Our Special Anniversary this year marks our 14th year together as a couple. We usually don't have any elaborate celebrations but its always good to have a "simple something" to remember. Anyway, here's to many more Anniversaries to come!
