Come and gone ... woooshh...

Whats with birthdays? Celebrating is one thing but its a constant reminader that you a yr older again. Nothing happy about celebrating the fact you are getting older. Its fun cos you get to meet or hear from old friends once every year that is if they bother. After that day, life resumes with the fact that i am a yr older and have more responsibilites. I prefer being the carefree life (childhood or teenage yrs) where there is nothing to worry abt or work for. I dun know abt those who in RI or SJI or top notch schools where their first priority must have been .. STUDY STUDY.
Anyway would like to wish Kelvin Happy Birthday again. Not being sacarstic abt what i jus said earlier on.
We went to this posh restraunt called "My Secret Garden". Well who needs posh dining ? not a person like me with a big tummy. Anyway i am growing fatter. This might bring happiness to some for reasons which i dun know. On to the issue. why dun they jus put a direct path to the enterence? They made the way look like it was an outward bound training centre. They put ropes in all direction and i thought we had to like navigate ourselves through the ropes to get to the other side. Considering my size, i had an immediate dislike to the place. But happily, there was another way thru.
Next inside the place. Service i felt was horrible. The entire duration i was there there were no other pple except for 1 couple. Know where they put us. The table by the door. BY THE DOOR. What the heck. I am a paying customer. Think i will run away without paying? The service gal was like looking at us wif contempt. I think she thought we were young kids first time there. I think i older than her loh. Se bei sian. This again put me off.
Like i was saying earlier, who needs fine dining? the food came.. it was a below average size of serving. The food, i had no complains. Well, the entire experience wif fine dining was not very well going for me.
Before dinner, we went to the new library at bugis. Awesome except for the fact only one level out of the 14 levels could we borrow boooks. somemore its the basement. Errr.. well nice planning by whoever planned the place. The view from the top levels was wonderful. The escalator was sensored. WOW . if you go near it, it will start moving . Interesting. Seeing it for the first time. Many of you might start to wonder whether i come frm any rural place but it was the first time i seen the sensorized escalators. Moving on, we went to the reference section. The security guard asked us to put our bags in the locker. Fine.. I saw this locker with a one 20 cent coin picture so i thought orr the thing cost 20 cent to lock. We tried and tried until the security guard came to say oh.. its 2X 20 cents. its a mid size locker. Err What the heck ... then put it properly lah ... But the most interesting thing was, most of the pple inside had bags, ranging from different sizes and colours. Well, do we look like terrorist? ( i definitely din not seem like one if that is what u r thinking) . Anyway its huge but cannot borrow much ... they jus moved all the books into the reference section. Wats the use of a library when you cannot borrow what you want?
The day ended by going to play pool and eating supper at Carl's jr. I'm impressed. Burgers are big. Now i understand y ang mohs are huge and big cos they eat big meals.

Sidenotes : Kelvin's phrase of the day was (not exact but had this meaning) " There is no point leaving a library if you never sit on the cushion chairs" by the way, there was this girl sitting on the chair beside him.
