where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

Though last night's supper didn't quite go as planned, it turned out to be something I would remember for a while.

We were supposed to look for this "scissors" curry rice at Jalan Besar, then adjourning to River Valley for some prata, but we accomplished none. What did happen was, we could not find that curry rice shop despite circling Jalan Besar twice and eventually settled at the Jalan Besar Food Centre.

Then, a simple supper turned into sort of a feast. I guess with great friends come a great amount of food (haha), of which the cost did not take precedence. We tasted one of the surviving old-school wanton noodles, a plate of raw fish ala chinese style, dim sum, chinese rojak, eggs bacon ham and mocha. Which explains why prata at RV was postponed.

Then came the best part of the night.

With the car parked at the Padang, we bought 3 baby tubs of Ben and Jerry's and another baby Haagen Daz. Gingerly, we climbed up the half constructed spectator's stand still being built for NDP.

All around us, it was architecturally astounding. Facing the city skyline of Shenton Way, we were flanked with The Esplanande on our left and the City Hall/Supreme Court on our right. Swissotel Stamford watched over us from behind.

So there we were, right about 30 metres into the air on unstable planks of wood, eating Ben and Jerry's as Victoria Theatre's clock tower showed 45 minutes after 2am. All quiet and still, it seemed like all was ours to savour and enjoy. No people, no rush hour, no traffic, no busy footsteps, nothing. Certainly something I believe few have experienced before.

I couldn't have asked for better.

nimgnoy let the night fall at 11:40 PM
