I can't remember what's this drink called: the three layers are sugar syrup, condensed milk & tea. I know, how sinful. But it's not sweet, or at least the one at this particular Kopitiam isn't. Ayun & I had a nice long chat here, and it's a change from the scene in Singapore where "chilling out" is at Starbucks or Coffee Bean or TCC & everything's so darn pricey.

Dinner plans were to be at Topspot, a final dinner with my cousin Ngilo before he leaves for college in Miri the next day. Asked Saz to come along, & when she came over to the house it took quite a bit to get over the fact that we FINALLY met after four long years! But it's all good, eh :)

These are snails, in the same dark sweet sauce they used to cook the cockles with as well. Snails, I tell you. I'm not kidding. You have to suck them out from one corner of the shell. Saz & I had difficulty cos the bloody hawker put empty shells in too, geez. But the flesh inside is like small, so you can't really taste much.

& THIS is Ambal - worms cooked in curry. It doesn't taste that bad really, once you get over the thought that you're masticating a damned worm when you're chewing it, but you taste mostly the curry. Although I didn't go further than eating just one.


The girls & I gave in our white flags & excused ourself from the family with the excuse that we had a movie to watch, & despite Mummy's suspicions, we left with Gagih to go to Star Cineplex for abit.

We really did thought that maybe we could catch a movie hey, but none were showing at the time, so we decided to go somewhere else. Decided on Soho, but it was full out so we headed next door to Grappa's.

& then we had to pee, but the toilet at Grappa's was just damn filthy, plus Saz & I have no idea how to use a squat toilet (sue us, we're city girls) so we went to nearby Holiday Inn.

That's when I tripped at the small wooden bridge & fell & tore my shoes in the process, though I didn't notice it till the next morning so you can imagine how humiliating that must've been hey.

I rolled out of bed after Mummy called at 9 in the frickin AM to go over to Aunt Lydia's & take care of Ruran; eyes bloodshot, head in a frickin' spin & took a piss which lasted forever.

You do NOT disturb a person's sleep who'd just been smashed a mere few hours ago, it leaves a really bad & lasting side effect on the person.


Anyway, school's been shit but at least the projects are done except Econs which was postponed to Monday seeing how I couldn't roll outta bed just now. Down with the flu, a throat infection, gastric, coughs & fever but the latter broke within the past hour so it's all good. I've been going to the toilet alot thanks to the excessive amount of green tea I've been drinking since this morning.

I was given a shitload of meds, so I'm hoping all will work & I'll be dippity do in no time.


Pictures of the second day/night will be up when I'm free enough to wait for all the pictures to load.

Cheerios lovelies. x.
