Wonderful Dinner with Friends

A friend sms me in the morning asking to meet up for dinner. He needs some company and to bounce off some thoughts with a small group of us. So I went for my gym during lunchtime, instead of in the evening. Did a relaxing run of between 7:30min/km to 6min/km on the treadmill. Covered about <8km in 50mins.

Met up with my 2 friends close to 7. We had dinner at this taiwan porridge in Thomson road. The food is yummilicious! We ordered pork floss toufu, braised pork with salted vegetables, fu-yong egg, vegetables and mushroom with prawns. The serving however was really small and we didn't feel satiated. A friend asked whether we have had enough and I was soooooo glad when we all agreed that the food was hardly enough to be a starter. Hence we ordered a second round, repeating the braised pork and pork floss toufu dishes plus a few other dishes. We had a good talk during the dinner, talking about serious topics and its through such topics that I realise how mature some of my friends are, and how shallow some of my thoughts are, as compared to theirs :P

After dinner, we still didn't feel satisfied so we went Chomp Chomp for dessert. We went Cafe Cartel and had between the 3 of us, 3 desserts: mudpie (which is really really DISAPPOINTING!!!), banana split (normal) and the brownie stack (yummilicious!). Frankly, if I were with my galfriends, they would already been saying that they are tooooo full right after the first serving at the muay place and I would be the only one feeling hungry still and feeling soooo much like a glutton. There is no way I would have been able to order a second round and go for dessert! (In fact we ordered only 2 desserts but we cleaned out the plates in no time, hence we went for a second order of the dessert too! R we gluttons or r we gluttons??? :P) But with these friends of mine, for once I feel NORMAL! That hey, there are human beings out there that eat the way I do!!! Although they are guys, and ok, I match their appetite :P but at least I feel normal and for once I felt good about it! THANKS guys for making me normal again :P

It was good company tonight. Good food and great talk with my friends.

Some random thoughts .... in life, there are many trials and tribulations that each of us has to go through during our lifetime. Some breeze through life while others seem to have it tough. I'm one of those that I guess breeze through life being a common folk, not achieving much but at the same time not having toooooo many horrible setbacks. Meaning in a normal distribution curve of the entire world population, i'm in the mid range of the distribution curve, meaning the common folk. So i guess i have very few life experiences to share and whenever friends have problems to talk about, I'm normally the one listening intently, but having not much to share haha. Anyway my point to all my friends is, whenever you feel unhappy, pls pls don't
bottle it up, dun just hide it under the carpet. It will just eat into you and you will feel miserable, and you will seem to have so much burden to carry on your poor shoulders. Try to find friends whom you can trust, and talk to them. They might not be able to help you, but trust me, when you r burdened with some problems, your mind tend to be clouded, you will not be able to think straight. This is when talking about it, bouncing some ideas off someone will definitely help. Even if it doesn't, I'm sure letting it out will make u feel better. Sometimes we just need to learn to let go. Many things cannot be as before, we just need to learn to accept that it will never be the same, and move on. Moving on is tough, but what to do ? We can either "hanta kaki" forever or we can bite the bullet and learn to move on gradually. We never know what is in store for us. Nothing is for the worse nor better, its just how we view a situation.

Ok, enough nonsense, I frankly do not know what I'm talking about .... its late and I better get some sleep else I will be soooooo zombie tomorrow ...

But I'm soooooooo glad that its finally FRIDAY!!!! Tonight's the 15km run with Taz, shut, teelee, superboy, cosmic and FBB ... hoorah! Just hope I can complete the 15km!! Wish me luck! :)
