i've also tried the hazelnut frappe, mint mocha frappe and oreo frappe, along with my previous order of macadamia nut frappe. it was a round-the-table sampling of everyone's drinks during an isk&fad doubledate.

as evening rolled around, marsie had to go off with her parents to visit a newborn. yays! but i was to fly solo, til she came back for dinner. so i found a neat lil spot at nlb, and by golly, i studied! =O i've developed this opportunist attitude, where i carry my notes around with me all the time, even if i don't have lectures for that module that day or sthg like that, because i've decided that i need to find time to study. it's urops, i tell you. robbing me of my precious study time.

and finally, dinner! marsie is determined to try everything singaporean once again. hurrs. so it was tong seng for some chinese noodles. i ain't complaining. fried fish bee hoon with milk is my staple babeh. but. i was adventurous tonight, and went for the fishball minced chicken noodle. (: however, i didn't finish it. -__-

i went on another date last night! it was high time i caught up with khairiah! (sorry, my bad. ;P) and so dinner and a movie it was. we saw Miss Potter at the cathay, and yessirree i say it's a must-see! although, perhaps not so much for the boys. don't expect a plot full of twists and turns and drama, cause it is about someone's life afterall. it's a biography of Beatrix Potter, author and illustrator of the kids' book The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and of course her many other Tales. set in 1902 in london and lake district, the show has got such a storybook effect. gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. :) i felt the show was very real; none of those unnecessary embellishing. i love it for its pure quality. [: i'm also a sucker for anything english (except football and beer), especially in the early days.
shoutout to zat: a show about authors and strong women, you HAVE to go see.

one more thing, do go and see it for the chemistry between Ms Potter and Mr Warne (Ewan McGregor). oh how coy they were back then. ;) *giggles*

and i swear to god, 92 minutes of film, and ONE kissing scene. kiss mind you, not heavy making-out. =O

so afterwards, my version of a nightcap - starbucks! i won't deny that starbucks still serves good coffee. and one major plus point is their service! i find that starbucks personnel aren't averse to chatting their customers up. i say hey, good on ya! because personally, i love having that random 2-minute conversation while ordering or waiting for my drink. (:

i also love toffee nut latte! just the right amount of sweet and nutty flavour. yumms.

i suppose i share a little bit of myself with all of my friends, but to no particular friend do i share all of myself. which is why perhaps, there are topics that i always talk to khairiah about, but not to anyone else, despite the fact that i have known her effectively for all of say - 1 month? there was that 2-week holiday in italy, hari raya at their place, dinner before i left, and dinner here last year after all them londoney people returned. plus bits of msn conversations here and there. but yep, that's about it.

then again, when you spend 24/7 (x2weeks) together, in a foreign land no less, you may start out as strangers, but you'll fast forward to the part where a bond is formed. *hugs* cherish much. (:

so there i was, chilling away, sitting back leaning on my arms, when who should i see passing by the starbucks entryway but that guy from the train a week or two back. the tissue-offering one. this world works in funny ways. a stranger you thought you'd never see again, and so was amused at his last words - "hope to see you again soon." and the next thing you know, bam.

in any case, he was on the phone. so i thought it was a hi-bye thing. but what do you know. he suddenly reappeared in the entryway, and joins us! khairiah was amused. but she was also taken in (?) - am i right in saying that? she agrees that he is indeed a breath of fresh air. (too bad i can't link your blog. it'd save me the trouble of retelling. haha.) conversation flowed freely between the three of us all throughout the journey home. (which was why he actually came back in the first place.) i was afraid he might be intimidated with our topics of conversation that included travel and europe of course, (pardon us, we were reminiscing!) but he very seamlessly became part of the conversation! i guess you should never underestimate a person.

anyhows, looking back on my past 2 nights with these 2 girls, i realised there was much talk about travel! places we've been to, and where we plan on conquering next. in khairiah's words, "we are no kampung chicks!" [; amen to that! (or rather, amin. (: )
