I love anything spontaneous!

For a moment, I thought it's gonna be yet another boring weekend. Being in this tiny little red dot, it's not surprising that every cosmopolitian's (the citizen) favourite passtime would encompass certain activities that sound so painfully similar to one another; movies, workout, beach...Some even classify "working" as a passtime. Those who can afford more time and cash will crawl to offshore islands or neighbouring countries for some diving or holiday.

I guess that perhaps explains why I love the spontaneity of things when I do actually act "on the spur of the moment"...according to what I fancy at that moment. It was nothing to shout about actually; I'm sure this is probably common to many "old birds" out there. ANyway, I've digressed. Heh...basically, a friend and I decided in the afternoon to head towards JB since there wasn't any good movies on offer now.

So we did. We met in Orchard first, shopped around HMV, then went on to the Hello!Store, and finally to Bugis to catch the Sing-Johore bus. Exciting!

By the time we reached there, it was evening time already...say, 6+? The muslims were praying and all. It was certainly one of the better days to head to Johore, given the fact that we are entering a peak period now. There was no crowd, really. Either way, we cleared the customs within half an hr each.

We went in, looked at some films, then went on to buy some bubble gum (yum!), absolutely fantabulous for deprived Sporeans like us...hehehe. And here comes the highlight....at least it was for me. *grin* We went to a place near Taman Sentosa to have dinner...Seafood dinner, to be precise. Not a king's spread, but certainly something I haven't had in a long time. Nestum Crayfish, Buttered prawns and bbq stingray (No pepper stuff for me). Oh man...I could almost faint with delight then.

Of course, we headed back to Singapore and reached mainland (not China) close to 11. We went on to Bugis to split our spoils and both went back gleeful. We both bought a box, and we exchanged flavours. I still can't bear to start on mine! haha...

Can't wait for the next time when I would get to do this again! Imagine spending less than what you would in Spore, but getting as much, if not more enjoyment and satisfaction...*dreamy* Heh...

I'm easily contented, but then again, I certainly wouldn't complain if there were more of such spontaneous ideas/activities to go around...
