past midnight when i look at my watch. after a numerous face washing i decided to go to Serangoon Plaza i will be meeting Kriss. i text to Nit and Mr Sponsor whom i assumed still showing off their talents in the karaoke joint. laughed. my head still spin but not as bad as earlier on.

a Chinese man approached and befriend me. he looks decent enough to chat me up. introduced himself as Lim, a full time photographer. nice knowing you. we walk for a distance before taking a break, sitting on a bench, sandwich between Sultan Plaza and Golden Sultan Plaza. a easy chat in progress. he offered me drink across the street at M.K Deen Restaurant.

i felt far way better than many minutes ago after a few sips of cold drinking water.

Lim took over my phone and snap a couple of pictures. Lim explained my phone camera is good for wide shot and advised me not to take any pictures near to my face unless its on a certain angle. thank you for sharing Lim.

Lim decided to order some food but it was not available at M.K Deen. so much of 24hours signboard. i suggest we go to Rowell Road to dig out the coffee shop around there.

Lim took my suggestion to go and have Nasi Lemak at Rowell Road. tried to declined his offer but ending having 2 pieces of kuih. Talam Sagu and Talam Santan. yummy.


by now i'm chirpy like a bird. smiled. received a text from Kriss he had arrived and waiting at Shafina's. see you there. i informed Lim and excused myself after sending Lim off to Mustafa Centre.

hello Kriss, Kak Azis and Kak Rina Ramlan.

after a small chat Kriss felt hungry and wanted to have supper at L.K Maju. let's go. joined by sis Naomi.

after their supper, we proceed back to Serangoon Plaza. sis Naomi was called for business. so is Kak Azis, hook up with a young man, a very young 18 of age. as we were waiting for Kak Azis to return, a while later Kriss friend from Sri Lanka approached Kriss and soon after that we were back to L.K Maju. i have no problem shuttling between same location after all this is my playground. hello new friends! Rushni in D&G, Alander in stripes and Sharu working at L.K Maju all are friends from Sri Lanka.

all of us back to Serangoon Plaza. Kriss was busy with 'deal or no deal" about Rushni until the morning arrived. laughed.

after Rushni had make a pact to meet Kriss tomorrow, we decided to shop in Mustafa Centre. i, Kriss and Kak Rina Ramlan. shop until the sky turned bright. we went back to our hot spot next to Shafina's and was also joined by Tom.


it was a fun morning hilarious and ridiculous stories heard. smile. after Tom left Kriss asked me to join him for a small breakfast a Malay Stall nearby to Farrer Park MRT station entrance.
