Apparently, only karate kid was kind enough to point out to me that my usage of mandarin characters was wrong. Two posts back i used the word when i really should have used the word instead.



Anyway, yesterday's dinner was kind of different. At the end of the dinner, we ordered some dessert drinks. I ordered something called advocado shake. It was pretty good, it had none of advocado's tasteless-ness. Apparently, they mixed the fats up with some brown sugar. You know, the type where they use to fill up the green oni oni (I have absolutely no idea how oni oni are spelled, or if wat i'm calling them is correct...).



Karate kid ordered a fermented glutinous rice drink. My first impression when i read the menu on what she was ordering, i didn't even think it was a drink. I thought it was gonna be some moldy rice ball served on a dish on something. Maybe some parsley to go with it....



Anyway, it really was a drink. And it being fermented, was somewhat mildly alcoholic. I took a sipping of it and it was like how my cousins always exagerate on quality of food. A flood of memories rushed to me as i re-lived my childhood. Ok, maybe not childhood. But i do remember having tried some of the same stuff in gippy when i was visting Jeannie's friend, Tony. Think tony's wife was called Eileen or something... Doesn't matter, anyway, I hadn't made a connection between the two foods considering that i really thought it was gonna be some greenish moldy rice ball : )



Big sister is coming to town on wednesday. Karen sent me an sms (yeah, i noe, it should be 'a sms', but i like the sound of 'an sms') saying to meet up for some steamboat. That was kind of good, since i hadn't seen Karen ever since she left gippy. Think that was around more than a year ago. The meeting on wednesday would be netting two birds in one swoop.



Ok, some would say things like, "Its only one year. One year is not a very long time" But suerly time is relative to two things. The perception of the person, and the topic at hand. I've heard of my lil cousin talked about her bgr stuff and there's loads of anniversaries in a single year. There's the one week anniversary, one month, 3 months, half year, and finally the actual thing.



I don't know what to call these things... maybe young romance or something. Its the kind of thing couples like, ya know, like walking beside the river at esplanade. Its really just one big drain ya noe? Ok, maybe i'm not the daily romance from paris... Hmm... i wonder why romance are always linked to the french. Maybe they are great lovers or kissers or something : D



Anyway, alot could happen in one year. Afterall, couldn't people fall in love and get married in one year? So i guess meeting Karen on wednesday would be kind of interesting. Maybe she's grown taller or something : p



And before i go, i'll add one more story on the adventures of bus 91A. I usually board the 0745 bus. And the at the stop where i board the bus, it's usually pretty empty. People start packing in from the mrt at the next stop. Anyway, there's this girl who always take the same seat of the same bus. And i generally take the seat behind hers. Nothing special, i just like to take the seats on the left back of the bus, closer to the pavement so i could look at babes.



Anyway, i always took the inside seat, the one closer to the window, so others could sit beside me. But lately, there's this guy who alights later than me but always takes the seat beside me. End up i have to point, some kind of 'i want to alight' gesture, to indicate to the guy i wanna alight. What a waste of my precious energy, requiring me to gesture before i could actually alight!!



Anyway, back to the girl, she alights later than me. So i thought i'll take up the seat beside her even though the bus is like empty, so i could save myself the energy of pointing. And on friday, i did exactly that. But i think i scared her off coz she ain't in the bus today : D
