it was national day. met up wif 10 in city hall at 1400 hrs. mission: to get a pair of sunglasses. but first of all, gotta settle 10's lunch. decided on marina sq's cafe cartel. long time nv eat there liao. used to love their pork ribs. wanted to try something different, so got a pizza instead.

10 kept pestering me to take up a bartender job, n fed me wif loads of information on cocktails n liquor. i had e intention of being a bartender long time ago... but no experience... so nv really go try. this time if i'm gonna study, i gotta get a part time job too... bartending sounds interesting, and pays well. of course i gotta start off as a waiter. more to learn ya?

alright, here comes my pizza. bbq chicken. looks quite messy, but taste really nice. yum yum... but a bit spicy huh... hehe... drank loads of plain water. hot hot hot...

got out of cartel n wandered ms, in search of my sunglasses... but we ended up in suntec, yes! i mean yes! ya yes! 'your eyewear specialist' yes! ok ok... enough. first stop by oakley display... hmmm, got the frame tt i like, yet to check out the price, move on to adidas. cool shades, sporty frames... i like too. go see see other brands... still narrowed down my choice to oakley n adidas. choose choose try try... wif 10 ard to comment... ended up wif adidas. still there're many choices fr adidas... really got quite fed up trying n trying the shades. eventually decided on a pair wif black chrome frame. cool... most importantly it's comfy n blocks out sunlight. island life, here i come!!!

mission accomplished... nothing to do... walked ard... wandered to esplanade. coz 10 wanna get a drink. a cheap drink. fr the push cart stores there. then get a cuppa sweet corn each. the area was crowded. very crowded. really very crowded. we have difficulty finding a space for 2 of us to sit down n enjoy out food n drink. since the sea view is occupied, we sat beside the water features outside the esplanade entrance.

1 hr passed. 6 fighter jets zoomed by. sweet corns n drinks finished. listened to 10 complain bout her colleague/classmate. breathe in some passive smoke fr a group of ah bengs sitting near us. see lots and lots of pple walking towards the river mouth... anticipating for fireworks in 3 hours time. having sore butts. i cant take it anymore. both of us still dun feel like going home, so i suggested to look for butterfactory. i still dunno where it is... still call myself a party animal, shame on me. we mde our way to robertson quay. took a bus n alighted along river valley rd, took a walk down. by then e sky had turned dark. seemed like going clubbing, but the street is so dead, coz it's only 8pm. on our way, i found out tt there's some japanese restaurants down mohd sultan. maybe next time can try. passed by the pier, a condo. one wif no boundary walls, i bet the security system muz b vv tight for one to enter the apartment. nice water features at the site entrance. a nicely cladded wall futher inside. a fresh concept for a condo. continue walking, n here we r by the river. still sense no presence of butterfactory. but found some more japanese resaurants. the river juz continue to lead us to grand corpthorne waterfront, where my batch's commissioning ball was held. the stretch between the river n the building is quite a nice place to dine too. with fountains, parvillions, optical lights on the ground, quite romantic. after a few more steps and we're outside zouk!!! omg... unresistable. wed nite outside zouk! tempted to go in... lucky 10 was in no mood for clubbing... tt saved my wallet for 1 nite. phew~

still dunno where's butterfactory... haiz... but we gotta head home... got so tired after all the walking. on the way home received rebecca's msg: going zouk? woah!!! tt's devil's advocate calling for mi!!! no!!! but i juz cant resist... but after much thinking... she decided not to go... n my wallet was saved again by another angel...

tiring national day... but i got my sunglasses!!! muahahaha... 240 bucks gone :(

redfox triumph over drunkard on national day!!!
