><))o>A fun-filled evening and an encounter with the
Banana Bomber
[Banana Bomber, part I]
[ My gang and I were waiting for the train after a heavy dinner and suddenly we noticed a suspicious character placing a small, black briefcase at the entrance of the mrt! Oh NO! What shall we do? Should we inform the staff or call 999? And why is the banana bomber smiling?? Is she satisfied with herself and her action?]
#Well, that's the banana bomber, part I for you...as you read on my blog, we will see what happens (dont peek!). Anyhow, yesterday was a wonderful day for me...after my speech day rehearsal, i went to SSDC with my bf to register for his driving practical. Afterwhich, we went to Little India and indulge ourselves with the famous
Muthu's Curry. We ordered chicken curry (cos apollo fish head was beyond our budget). Unlike normal curry that makes you feel as if dozens of volcanos have popped out on your tongue and started erupting, the chicken curry leaves a tingling sensation at the back of your throat instead- heavenly delicious!
#As soon as i got home from the lunch (which is at 6pm), i went at supersonic speed to bathe, get changed and off to meet my gang! It was a pretty exciting outing for us as its the first time we went out as a group but its a pity that intan couldnt join us *regrets*. Anyway, i was late...terribly late! Suppose to meet my gang at 6.30pm but i arrived at Suntec only at 7.10pm..luckily they are pretty understanding people *Phew*. On the way to suntec, i ran into the whole AJ bball team...and waved to Yonghao..

[ Just what does that briefcase contains? Guns? EXPLOSIVES?!?! Should we see what's inside before we alarm the authorities just incase we make a fool out of ourselves? Questions and decisions raced through our mind...finally, we decided to peek into the contents of the briefcase....]
#After finally meeting my gang, we headed down to the
HILFY Parade held at Singapore River and stretches all the way to the area behind esplanade. To our disappointment, there it was nothing much of a carnival as we had expected. Instead, there were just some big balloons of dogs, ducks, crab and even one in durian! As for the flee market that was supposed to exist, it never did exist*swears*. Feeling slightly disappointed, we decided to head to Lau Pat Sat for dinner!
#The journey however, was a "perilous" one as my horrible sense of direction threatened my gang several times from reaching our destination!*sigh* When we reached Raffles Place, we decided to ask a security guard for directions. Leena was assigned the mission. The old man being cocky, shot back at Leena asking her if she was a Singaporean, and all of us just burst into laughters because Leena with her African look, sloppy sch uniform,bag and her small briefcase certainly look nothing close to the normal Singaporeans!
#At the Lau Pat Sat, we treated ourselves to singaporean delights like chicken rice (Jacintha's Dinner), Western Food (Marlin's dinner), chicken with wanton noodles (Leena's Dinner) and i had dumpling noodles. To top it all, we had deserts!! Marlin had ice-kachang while i ordered Longan with almond pudding! As for meimei, she had strawberry kisses for dinner and desert (as usual..her strawberry craze!)
The ultimate desert for strawberry lovers like meimei-the strawberry kisses. Its available at Lat Pat Sat for $2.50. But according to our critic, meimei, the ice-cream has a medicinal taste!

It was just an enjoyable day despite the HILFY parade disappointment! Hope to go out with my gang again soon! I have uploaded all the
picswe took yesterdays...do go and take a look!
