Met up with Dory and Sophie yesterday after soooooooooo long, what with less of Mr Lim's events, so meeting up is a bit difficult especially since we have our own stuff to do. I reached Maxwell food centre first, so I roamed around to see what food is there to try and saw this looong queue. In typical SGean fashion, I promptly went up to queue as well, seeing that it was selling one of my favourite dishes, Fish Bee Hoon soup! The only small kicker was, they do not sell the fine version bee hoon, only the thick one (chu mi fen). At least the broth made up for it, but I never liked drinking soup with those flimsy plastic spoons, making the soup taste more oily than it actually is.

It's not bad la, but I still prefer the one in Permas Jaya, J.B. Very few fish bee hoon stalls I come across put deep fried egg in the dish, which will lend a very fragrant taste to the soup. This Maxwell one is okay, the fried fish portion is just nice, only hope they can use fresher vegetables.

After eating our fill at the food centre, Dory and I then headed to A.R.K as I wanted to eat dessert there, the yummy durian cake! I wasn't really supposed to, as I felt the beginnings of heatiness in my throat, but no matter, I can just drink more water!

Before stepping into the cafe, I went up to SMG store first to check out Wave 2... only 1 design caught my eye... the rest just wasn't my "piece of shirt" (cup of tea version for apparels haha). On my way upstairs I caught a glimpse of 2 guys in caps and my sixth sense sent me a silent message... which I knew was accurate. Coming back down to the cafe, I spotted Sophie sitting near the counter, I could tell she just arrived as she was slightly out of breath!

Walking towards her, one of the guys at the next table turned and I was only half surprised as I firmly believe in 女人的第六感. Just for that brief moment I said hi and exchanged eye contact, still in a mild state of disbelief at life's coincidences. I often hear/see other people's narration of bumping into him and taking photos etc, encounters which I couldn't have owing to my full time job. Of course, I'm actually quite a practical person, so even if I could go A.R.K. on a regular basis, I wouldn't, coz it is just plain waste of time and money. That place is no hawker centre, prices of the food will just make one broke in no time if daily trips are made there.

I think so far, since it's opening, I have gone there about 4 times, once with my vocal classmates. So much for third time's the charm, more like 4th for me, hahaz =)

It was good to see him needless to say, but he was with his friends so we didn't chat much. He looked thinner but more well rested than the last I saw him in May. I quote him "I'm back to my cranky self"! haha I'll say that's really good, hope his voice will regain soon!

Right now just feeling super sianz at work, just chasing for updates from others so I can reply to customers soon... argh, when can i go back to Japan? =(

I need a break!
