Out with K-neth!
Long post!

Went to a few places with K-neth today! haha. Alighted at Bugis Station and went over to the new building Illumina to check it out coz it's rather new. Was nice to walk around because there weren't many people shopping. We went to the arcade to take a look and saw this poor Doraemon with it's roundish leg stucked, facing backwards and upside down, in one of those Japanese Catching machine... haha.. and the strategy (i guess) was to push Doraemon such that the leg gets freed... ahh i'm not good with these catching machines but they are getting more and more creative, now they have plushies that are lying on poles and you have to push them down to win them. Cute huh haha. The arcade is really huge and a lot of the games have those flat screen monitor, guess they really invested a lot in it.

The door leading to the washroom was nicely blended with the walls, yet not too hidden that you can't find it. But the door was heavy... like those bomb-shelter doors lol. The washrooms i would say are quite nicely designed, with see-through glasses and furnished with simple stools at a corner. ok... why am i talking about washrooms?!

Did some window shopping around some of the stores before heading to Bugis Junction for lunch. Took me some time to choose what i wanted to eat.. haha the Korean BBQ store was selling Saba fish set for $6, but their BBQ Chicken + Saba Fish set was $6.90?! weird.. but i ordered that anyway.. abit oily though.. thought of eating Pepper Lunch but i guess, not today.

AFTER THAT........ we went to......

the NATIONAL LIBRARY!

Hahaha he suggested it, i was quite shocked coz i thought people don't usually like to hang out inside the library though sometimes i don't mind spending my time there sitting around looking at some books related to cooking, interior design.. Was browsing for something nice to read when i saw the category Child Psychology.. went to take a few books to read. Read abit of The Moral Intelligence of Children by Robert Coles and found it kinda interesting but.. i don't think i have slots to borrow books now. ~~ We actually spent quite a few hours there.

Then i thought of visiting the dessert store AhChew (intro by mei) at some alley (i don't know what's the exact street name but it's right opposite of Bugis Junction's old Bread Talk location), but we couldn't find it! He then suggest that we walk over to Suntec, where we had some really good but yet affordable food. Eventually mei did send me the store unit number for AhChew but then.. we were in Suntec already so next time!

Talking about good and affordable food, K-neth recommended a really nice place - ASTONS SPECIALITIES. Abit of burning-charcoal fragrance inside the restaurant.. subjective coz some people may not like it, but i think it helps a lot to emphasize that "hey we sell grilled food here!" Their slogan is "Quality & Value for money", and i think they do live up to it haha. They have lots of choices, and each of the main course you pick comes with two side dishes for you to choose. Main course (e.g. Teriyaki Chicken) + Onion Rings + Home Salad = $6.50! WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND SUCH A GOOD PRICE FOR SUCH GOOD TASTING FOOD? So we ordered our stuffs + drinks and the total was $18.30. This amount is usually a per-person equivalent when you dine at other more expensive restaurants. Highly recommended! Will definitely visit them again, thinking of bringing mum there next time :)

Then we went to arcade.. AGAIN haha. There were two middle-aged ladies (they were khakis!) sitting there pwning the tibits scooping machines with there mini bag-full of tokens.. hahaha.. cool. Wonder when i retire next time will i hang out at arcades like these ladies but the thing is, i havent even start working lol.

K-neth likes jigsaw puzzles la.. but i guess i don't have that amount of patience to complete one.. hahaha. Seldom see guys with lots of patience. :D Ever tried to do one with mei but... some of the pieces went missing and we sort of gave up lol.

Let's go out again soon! :)))



Guess my bro is right, i'm getting addicted to games again that's why i get upset when someone does this and that. Perhaps if i stop playing, i won't feel as bothered! :/
