Today was mostly perfect, save for that conflict towards the end that was ultimately sorted out. What can I say? I’m only mortal, and I am still learning, but you can pretty damned sure that I’m giving it my best shot.

Breakfasted at Coffee Bean at Guthrie House - な・つ・か・しい～ Khin, when you get back, we must go back there again and eat black pepper chicken legs from Cold Storage. Chere, don’t you just miss their eggs ben? They don’t do it quite the same anywhere else. Was really nice to just reel back, take it easy and read the papers (okay, I lie, I was really just interested in their copy of Harper’s Bazaar).

Stocked up on film, and J and I made grand plans to Hit The Beach. But before that - detour to Parkway Parade. The main point of this paragraph, however, lies not in Parkway but the hawker centre next to it where I found THE. FUCKING. HOLY. GRAIL. OF. ALL. BEEF. NOODLES!

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD - Words do not begin to describe the fucking rush I got when I took my first bite. The taste and consistency of the gravy, the flavour and texture of the beef, noodles, everything was phenomenal. I do not kid in the least when I say that I teared a bit when I tasted the noodles. It was really THAT good, that it blew every other beef noodle stall I’ve sampled thus far away. Hands down. No contest.

Why-oh-why do I live in the west? It appears that all the good food and hapz places are in the east. Sian.

The weather was spectacular; sunny and breezy. We really went trigger happy with the cameras. At some point of time we decided that it was very gross to have our shirts plastered to our skin with sweat, so we took our tops off and walked around topless for most part of our time there, which was liberating (eh shaddup got people check me out one ok). Note to self: bring sunblock next time, and never wear skinnies to the beach again. Ever.

I can’t wait to get this batch of photos out. Most of the shots I took at the beach were on the black and white film I currently have loaded out. I really hope they turn out well and not boring and cliche.

Ok I’m really burnt now and I’m exhausted so I should probably go to bed soon.
