lunch with the monster

Tried out Aston, the new western food outlet at katong area. They were actually a stall at the coffee shop nearby but moved to a shophouse not too long ago. The food there was pretty alright. Tried their grill fish with herbs, too little sauce for my liking, but otherwise, a good AND economical haunt for western food. Shall try their red meat some other time. Went to katong mall to pick up chocolate ice cream, (mmm missed awfully chocolate) then we had coffee at coffee masters cafe. Very very filling lunch today. Yes. And good company.

Anyway, thanks for the lunch and coffee Andrewww. (:

As the Monster decides he wanted to go to Changi Village - for some 'not-so-glam' activity which i shant mantion here - we asked for directions to the nearest bus stop with 2. The cafe's owner directed us to Malay Village. As it was along the way, we walked down Joo Chait Road to visit CheeKian at Katong CC - which i thought was at Joo Chait Road. It wasnt.

Nevertheless, we proceeded to walk all the way till the end of the road. There, we found ourselves stranded at Dunman Road - an area i dont have much contact with. We saw a bus stop some 200m to our left, and decided to go there too see if there's 2. Alas, there wasnt. Single, Avaliable, Lonely And Desperate, Andrew abandoned his 'scout's pride' and asked for directions. We were directed to continue our trek leftwards, which we did.

After another 10 minutes or so, we approached TKSS. Facing a lack of further directions, i decided to risk getting taunted and took out the phone to rang The Neighbour. The Neighbour gave directions in a rather 'you are really hopeless/as usual you got lost' manner which well, as usual i didnt get. I dumped him to Andrew which figured out the funny words and we managed to well, walk to the Malay Village.



The entire walk took almost an hour. You wanna know the worst thing ? We remembered that if we walked back to my area, we could've walked less while the 2 have would be nearer to Changi Village. Oh well.

But i guess the best thing that happened all day - besides the food of course - was well, getting lost. Found some interesting places along the way such as Joo Chiat Neighbourhood Police Post, Dunman Food Centre, Geylang Serai CC and well, burned calories ! Hahahaha. Not exactly a wasted hour after all. (:

On a side note, latest manga i'm after, D.Gray-Man. (:
