glad i went along! moreover its friday!

Friday 29th , its a slow day for me. time crawled but i was busy at work. the cramps made me somehow feel slow, slowmotioned. thou i am moving i felt that gravity is pulling me down. after school had tuition. after tuition, took a bus to an unknown area to meet the rest of the group. hate the feeling of dun know where i am... where am I? i dun know! anxiety sets in, behaved like a lost little gal... really wanted to nap on the bus, esp when i heard the uncle behind snoring... i kept my eyes opened wide and though i paid attention to details, true enough i got off the wrong bus-stop... i was lost.... with the cramps i walked on to the next bus stop... irene found me.

i did think of skipping this outing cos i dun feel well... but i pushed that tot back cos its first of all irene's bdae celebration, i didnt want to miss the nice company, my first outing with the gals, then its friday, moreover i didnt wana be alone at home sulking in pain, gx had company dinner. mum's at dinner too. and i am glad i went for the early dinner cos i found a new place to eat! the food here is good! very nice! love the briyani rice! light, very light and fragrant. the prawn masala is to die for cos well i hardly see any place serving the kind of huge prawns my mum cooks. cos its expensive. yes my mum buys gigantic prawns for weekend cooking. the chilli was very fragrant. loved it with the briyani rice! love the squid! the texture was right and just the right chewy consistency, hate it when its too rubbery. but this had it all esp the rite taste.

the fish cutlet patties was my least favourite. cos everything with gravy and sauce taste better. with 2 veg given and loads of papadum. thou just 3 dishes+2 veg condiments it was a good filling dinner but jojo had to have fish, so she ordered a slice. the fish curry was superb. here they are famous for the fish head curry. the dinner was heavens. my tummy felt warm and nice esp when i down 2 cups of ginger tea with the indian dishes. irene recommends the cold mango lassi. prob try it with fishhead curry when i come back next time.

after the meal at Kurus, we split. v went on with her evening outing, the 3 others head home, well irene was kind enough to accompany me to the Rail Mall. loacted near Upper Bt Timah Rd. she said its 20mins walk and i was game for it. very full but not stuffed and thou tired, moreover walking in my heels, i wanted to walk. lucky for us the rain in the day time gave us a cooling evening. had a nice talk with irene during the walk. we went into an oragnic shop to browse. irene is very health conscious. she knows alot about the good things. she was looking through everything. i just wanted to rest my feet! i sat down while she carried on with her browsing.

just as we were about to exit, ir decided on trying out the rum and raisin icecream. that started our spree... i chanced upon the kettle chips and found that this shop sells it at a cheaper price... i am in need of chips and chocolate during cramps. Honey dijon is definitely my favourite. decided to try out 2 other flavours. then i spoted these FruitaBu. had to have them, looks like heathy sweets for the kids. felt like having them for myself, dun think i will stop at one thou. ir bot them too. while we were paying up, ir asked for the price of the Tahini black sesame paste with honey, i bought one cos ir says it very nice as a bread spread. ir bot ricecakes. from nothing to a full bag, we sat outside the shop so that ir can finish her icecream while i rest my legs. after walking thru the whole stretch, it was time to go home.

i was glad i came out though all the bus ride to the dinner place and bus ride from railmall to home were all long journeys. i was pretty happy to be on the bus listening to eason's new cd. sometimes bus ride (as long as they are not packed!) is a nice way to travel.
