Something different on a Monday evening - going into Johor for some cheap dinner =D
One of my bosses drove myself, Tricia and Isabel into Johor just now for some cheap seafood. Cheap yes...but so-so only. Nothing yummilicious like Taman Sentosa (not sure if this is the right spelling). True, Taman Sentosa isnt that clean or nice; a little on foul-smelling side, some would even say. But the last time I went there for seafood (which was quite a while ago I must say) was not too bad really.
This place we went just now was 20min away from the second link through Tuas, at a place called "Skudai" or something like that (not sure if the spelling is rite). Four of us had chilli crabs, prawns, frog (them, certainly not me), 2 plates of beancurd tofu (quite nice) and this fancifully-named mushrooms (which is nice too). All these for RM82, which works out to be approx RM20 each - that's like SGD10. Cheap indeed =D Would have been more satisfying had the food been great. And for now, with all those cholestrol and fats in my system, I just have to do the additional 5 rounds tomr (on top of my usual) *faint*
But anyways, the trip itself was good. We had lotsa laughter along the way, cracking silly jokes and talking crap. And because of the not-so-satisfying chilli crab, we actually made a pact to go AMK Ave 2 to try the famous big chilli crabs on the first Monday after CNY, possibly followed by frog (eewww) at Geylang, and mabbe Tow Huey at Rochor. Haha...all courtesy of Tricia's wonderful idea.
I guess it's the gathering and time spent that I relished more than the food itself. Of coz, I'm not saying that I don't appreciate the food, I do. Just that the company certainly makes the food tastes so much better =) Like just now, though the food wasnt tip top, but it was still a great, fun experience. Our morale dipped when we made our journey back to Spore. SIgh.

V day is just round the corner, so what grand plans are in store? I was talking to a fren that day, and we ended up chatting about the 'window' period I have gone through - 2 yrs. A tad too long. But not of my choice.
I've more or less decided that I shall either meet up with a best fren whos single too, then mabbe we'll do dinner; or, this is my plan - holed up in office doing OT till at least 10pm, then take the lonely journey home alone on the mrt. Primarily, I have absolutely no wish to see lovey-dovey couples strolling down town hand clasped in hand, or cuddling one another. Hopefully doing that can help me avoid these heart-wrenching moments that may just make me turn green with envy.

I haven't been in the greatest mood these days. Things have been happening, and I've been hurting. And the pain is more poignant at night, when certain memories come haunting back.
The could-have-beens, the what-ifs, the if-onlys...I had asked God to guard my heart, and all was well initially. But I guess I had let my guard down. Now all I can do is to hate myself for that, for putting myself through this. When will I ever learn?? Never, I guess.
I try not to think about it, hoping for the best that time will heal this little wound. Yeah, that would mean patience on my side. In the meantime....I guess I shall continue hurting then.
