Luck is an egnimatic thing that puzzles wise men and fools alike. The prescence of it makes one feel good but the absence of it creates a feeling of uncertainty and in extreme cases, frustration. Feeling at the trough of my luck now cos i jus paid a whopping (i used the word "whopping" for 2 apparent reasons - in relative to the cost of supper and cos i am really broke!) $10.80 cabfare for a $5.60 supper. And i could have averted it easily by taking train home from pasir ris mrt at 1120 instead of being "dumped" at hougang mrt station at 1150 with no last train and no last bus. This is the peak of my suay-ness, trough of my luck!!
Came back from pearlyn's 21st bdae party cum mj gatherin at downtown east. Spent abt 20 hrs playin mj over 2 nights and i lost abt 10 bucks collectively...wun say i was suay or anything, can only blame 2 things, i am a lousy player and ronald was just too lucky on both nights. I choose it is the latter! Haa
Met up with the CT peeps at bugis and had the worst dinner i ever had outside home at the cafe called "Bugis Cafe" at level 2 of Bugis Village. The cafe's slogan was "Where cafe meets great expectations" or smth along that line but the cafe totally fell short of any expectations i had from the layouts. First the pies were not available, then the soup was not available hence no set dinner possible and then finally the Shrimp Ravioli was actually the alter ego of shrimp Wanton on the menu. My goodness! Their pasta were just spaghetti plus bottled sauce from NTUC, they din bother changing the sauce for different pasta. But the worst thing was the bitter aftertaste cos of the herbs they put in too generously. A classic example of too much of a good thing is bad enuff.
The Mexican mid wings were mid wings divided into 2. I have no idea until today that chicken wings can be made like that. We had all thought they served us quail's wings cos the wings were sooooooo smallllll...Sighs. If you ever learnt nothing from my blog from all the posts, at least know not to patronise the cafe. It is very prominent, in the 2nd level of Level One at Bugis Village. If u really want to throw money at them, try anything but their pasta. Remember!
Yeap, been bitching too much le. Time to sleep. Been surviving on 2hrs of sleep this mornin to last me till now. My body is givin way i tink...
