rainy sunday...

it was raining cats and dogs in the afternoon today. been a long long while since we had such heavy rain.

was such a good day to just laze and snug in bed. but i was out. so was stuck in the rain. traffic in town was quite bad.

reason i was out: met ex-colleagues Irene and Tang Li for high-tea at Meritus Mandarin. hehe. experience of the place: atmosphere and ambience was good. it's a revolving restaurant so got a pretty good view of the whole area, always feel like im some sort of godzilla when im up there. haha, cos all the cars will appear tiny and it seems effortless to just remove them and plonk there elsewhere. but as the weather was really dark and gloomy, it'll help if the place had more lightings. pretty dark. the food selection is not very good, the service was average, and they didn't bother to top-up the desserts when it was 4pm, even though their last serving is at 4.30pm. original bill came up to about $36 per pax, but as there was a 15% discount for uob credit cards (of which the staff didnt even highlight to us), we only had to pay $30 per pax. to me, i was just paying for the ambience n maintenance of the revolving mechanism and NOT the food. ha! all in all, the company was good and thats the most important bit. we should do it more often, really fun and enjoyable just to relax, chill out, dine and of cos GOSSIP!

this is the pic that i took of the gals:








we went our separate ways after that. i went to the library to return some books and borrowed another 2; book of the moment is titled: Diary of a Mad Bride by Laura Wolf. Was attracted by the tagline that reads: Marriages are made in heaven but weddings are made in hell. funny.

thereafter, i didnt feel like going home yet. so went walking around. meant to window shop but ended up buying 2 tops from Wh (pink & purple), and a belt from HusHush. went to Zara too cos they having sale, but nothing fantastic. saw a jacket that was really worth the money but alas, its too big!! imagine that, yeah the sleeves were too long for me. i've got short arms. ha.

got a bit of toiletries from watsons before making my way home. kinda worried about dear cos nv hear from him after he told me he was at orchard with his team mates. and when we finally spoke just now, the recep was so bad, either he couldn't hear me or i couldn't hear him. "great conversation". anyway not like he can help it. just hope that he's not feeling as lousy n moody as he was this morning. think his job is stressing him out. haiz. i miss him.
