my hands smell like tomatoes.. or my nose is just not working as it should be
well.. since i've gotten my computer back, i havent felt like doing anything on it..
but i really do want to blog.

well first of all i want to talk about this restaurant that Dave really wanted to try
everytime we pass the shop we wonder why there are big ass lines outside.. so we decided to be those people in the lines and try it out for ourselves..
while waiting i was reading a restaurant review they had stuck up outside said that this place was like a fast food joint.. i didnt understand that until we sat and ordered.. the food was brought out straight away! faster than fast food even.
we had mi gorang to share, i didnt like this too much.. but dave and lana seemed to =)
satay chicken sticks.. THIS WAS AMAZING! it was fairly little tho, but it was really nice... really juicey and full of flavour..
this is what they are famous for, Roti! this one was a plain one for around 5$ less.. and it comes with 2 curries of the day, one was seafood and the other was vegetarian..
its like a light pastry, sorta like indian nann bread but lighter
tho it was served on plates that look like they were meant for prisoners.. they are absolutely beautiful
they also had different flavoured rotis, and we ended up getting a buttered one as well.

this place wouldve been the fastest we've ever been in and out of a restaurant.. the food comes out soo fast.. tho there is a waiting line outside so if its more than 2 people it might take a little longer.. but other than that its well worth it..
im craving some now >

another place we ended up going to was passionflower to kill some time.. i ended up ordering the lemon lime and bitters from the 'cheaper' side of the menu.. and that was a big mistake..
IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO SOUR O_O
we couldnt finish it.. it was pretty bad..
im now starting to not like passionflower as much as i use to.. working at an ice cream parlour i realise how much ice cream is really worth.. so since they are charging 6$-7$ for ice cream flavours we already have at little star for 3.80$ i really dont think its worth it..
but they do have flavours like thai tea.. which is now my new favourite.. and stuff like rose petal..

well enough about food! i've been going out so much lately and spending too much on crap.. i've even broken into my savings.. about 100$ down >
but i've had so much fun the past couple of weeks =)

we discovered a new game with almerik and gillian =D 'ticket to the ride'
i love that almerik works at a game shop.. he always brings home such awesome games =D! very addictive games too..
 it was Jiselles first month the other day =) shes sooooo cute!!
and kyleen looks well too which is awesome =D

it was also kerries birthday on the same day so i werent able to stay at kyleens for that long
we left to the city at 6ish.. and got there for dinner..
william and sonjae took us to an asian place called east ocean..
we ordered about 6 dishes and rice.. and it was horrible that day.. bad service.. we got our first dish 30mins after we ordred.. which wasnt bad cause they did say it might take awhile.. but after that it too them another hour and a half before we got everything.. and the entree that sonjae ordered came out last..
by the time we got the rest of the food.. the rice was cold..
i didnt end up eating anything really cause i just lost my appetite waiting..
the boys ended up complaining and paying only 150$ for a 200++ meal.. it sounds horrible.. but it was so bad =/
we left the restaurant at like 9pm or something.. which wasted so much time and money =/
we then went to karaoke for 2 hours.. and to charlie chans!
the bartender made us a shot called the flaming charlies!
best shot ever! it was made with Kahlua, blue madori, baileys, absinthe and cinnamon!
 the night ended with us walking around everywhere randomly =D overall we had a great night..

the next day tho, recovering from all the alcohol.. dave and kevin had a work party!
it was a bollywood cruise, all paid for with free alcohol... 
i also met their co-worker Diana.. who is a friends ex!

it was so much fun =)

i need to get to work now.. so im going to cut it short.!
