Of VIsiting Town 2 Days In A Row...

I met up with [XP] @ [Plaza Singapura] on [Fri] and I'm glad to say tt I'm early as usual, though [XP] was whining on my ability to always be on time, no matter the situation... What can I say??? After all, it's an ability tt I can't control...

Headed over to the elusive [Pizza Hut] for lunch... Actually, it's not tt concealed... It's just tt the good friend didn't know of it's existance until the previous day when I told her tt I wanna dine @ [Pizza Hut]... It was a good thing tt the queue wasn't tt long... Well, ppl ended up on the waiting list after we got seated, so thank God for tt...

I actually FORGOT to bring my martic card along for this meal... I remembered tt I left the card @ home only when the train was @ [Sembawang], how helpful was tt??? Ugh... Yet I heaved a sign of relieve as the waitress didn't ask for the proof as she took our orders... Guess I'm looking very student-y... Or childish, however you wanna put it...

We did quite a lot of talking before and during our meals... Not tt tt's the main point... The main point is tt we finished up 2 bottles of those grinded cheese and 1 waitress actually caught me eating the leftovers from [XP]'s plate... Not tt I'm embarassed abt tt... I love cheese... And to see those cheese being thrown into the bin seems like such waste... LOL...

We window shopped on a few levels but we spent quite a considerable amt of time on tt shop selling all kinda kinky board games and signs, marveling @ them, if you really know how to appreciate them, tt is... The next shop tt we spend the most time @ was in the store tt allows you to make a stuffed animals of your desire... It gave me an impression of [Pets' Society]... After all, the shop has tons of tops, bottoms and shoes for you to choose from to fit the stuffed animal tt you'll be creating... Haha... Bet if I'm creating 1 as a gift for my friend, I'll most probably spent like 2 hrs finding the perfect outfit... Really... They should have a com tt allows you to choose what clothes you want as well as provides a preview of the final product... It's better tt way as compared to running all over searching for the clothes...

The last stop was [Best Denki]... We spent a considerable amt of time there for there's a [X-Box] machine for us to meddle with... Even though it was a demo for [Soul Caliber IV] and you can only use 2 of the characters, we had fun playing the game and attempting to murder one another... I reckon tt the both of us were really expressing our inner desire to kill...

Went to return my book @ [San Bookstore] and got another one in the series before we realised tt there isn't much time for our next task and thus made our way towards [Bugis]... On foot... It's a good thing [XP]'s the live GPS or I'll probably get lost or move in some strange circle before arriving @ my destination...

[Illuma] was the target of this journey and we didn't expect much after reading an article abt the mall itself... It's only the soft opening and indeed there wasn't much going on in there, loads of empty spaces (to store ecess oxygen, maybe???)... But the design's unique and the layout of every level of the mall's different... Cool, huh...

What's even cooler is the presence of the following...

Illuma Mall Okay, so such long escalator can be found @ [Isetan], but tt's the only other mall with such escalator... The express kind tt brings you from the 1st floor to the 4th floor... Awesome, huh... Though it will be a bitch if you were rolling down this... Ouch!!!

The arcade's big and amazingly, from the looks of it, there seems to be a lot of older people hogging the gaming machines... I'm not talking abt the ah peks... More like those nearing 30 yrs old playing [Street FIghter 4]... It's kinda of a rare sight seeing the dudes spending 50 cents after 50 cents being trashed and trashing the same old opponent using a different character... LOL...

Anbiry Baburu [BenTen] has also taken roots in [Illuma]... The sight of [Anbiry Baburu] is mouth watering... I wonder when I can actually sink my sweet tooth into tt... And I admit... It's suicidal to finish tt single-handedly... But not with the help of 2 others though... =P

A [Fri] well spent... Yet the next day, I was back in town... This time to [Hereen] to meet my cousin... Before she arrived, I chanced upon the following on the 1st level...

NUM Seeing a gigantic tadpole a couple of weeks back is daunting enough... But to see so many of them again... Oh goodness!!! Btw, I admit... [NUM] guys aren't nice...

I'm getting a b-day treat from my cousin and initially, I wanted to have my [NYDC]... I even agreed to dine in [Hereen] was because the outlet there have the open restaurant concept... Apparently, tt was old news and [NYDC] has shifted to the 5th level in the mall... *Sigh*

Worse, tt outlet chose tt particular day to have it's maintenance... I seriously couldn't believe the coincidence!!! Oh well, I could actually travel down to [WheeLock] for it, but I didn't... Instead, I tried out [Pasta De Waraku]... It's something new and the new experience is worth it...

Pasta De Waraku (2) My [Tuna Pizza]... Desptie the size of it in the pic, it is small... This isn't the proper meal... It's a side dish...

Pasta De Waraku This is my main dish - [Beef Bologanese]... Kinda not up to my expectation in terms of the serving size... I was expecting tt for such a big bowl, the edible stuff should be greater... And they have a egg on top of it!!! Unique!!!

Overall, [Pasta De Waraku] isn't really tt expensive and I wouldn't mind going back there again... I'm expanding my selection of restaurant where I can dine in... LOL...

Had a cup of [StarBucks] and chatted with my cousin before it's time for her to meet her friends...

Lessons start tml and I'll just jump in and see how it goes... Looking @ how [JY] is handling her [Jap] module, I'm now sort of considering doing tt for my elective as well... LOL... In the meantime, to keep my mood happy, I'm looking forward to [Tue] for my movie date as well as [Thurs] for my dinner date... ^_^

This is cute!!!
