I spent the day dining, sightseeing and talking (despite having a scary biochemistry paper next Monday). 'Cos Esther had a free pair of tickets to the Singapore Flyer and she invited me along. :)
I keep having headaches recently. Gotta be the damn weather. Today's was particularly bad. My head hurt until I was sweating. -.-" The long bus ride made it worse. At one point, I feel nauseous. Urgh..
Alighted at Esplanade and went to Marina Square for dinner. We went to MOF の My Izakaya. We've only been to their Japanese sweets and coffee outlet at Sembawang Shopping Centre. This one is a restaurant with main courses and all.
Woah, lah. A steaming pot of green tea, ok! This is way better than all the other Japanese restaurants I've been to because they only provide green tea bags or have their waitresses refill your glasses. I'm guessing the tea set is made of good quality too because they don't get heated from the hot tea.
Esther's tempura bento and my sansai udon. Just plain udon and Japanese vegetables. Yum! :3
Forgot the name of this dessert. This kind of dessert is called zenzai, though. Sweet red bean paste served with dangos and a scoop of green tea ice cream. Man! It was wonderful! :D
As usual, we chatted while dining. Hmmm, Esther had chatted with her schoolmate about travelling around the world. So their conversation was something like this.. Ok, I don't know her friend's name :/
I thought for second then told Esther what I thought. That even if either of us should get attached in future, it doesn't mean we can't backpack together anymore. Just tell me and I'll go travelling with you anytime! :)

Friend: Why don't you find a guy who thinks like you? Then you two can go travel around the world together.
Esther: It's not easy to find a guy like that leh. Since I already have a friend who thinks like me, I don't mind travelling with her.
Friend: But it's not like she'll always with you, right?
I thought for second then told Esther what I thought. That even if either of us should get attached in future, it doesn't mean we can't backpack together anymore. Just tell me and I'll go travelling with you anytime! :)
I don't feel the need to get attached. I don't feel like getting a boyfriend.
I don't want a clingy lover. I don't want a relationship that burdens me.
And my biggest reason for not wanting a relationship?
I don't want to get hurt.
Like before you get together, you like a guy so much but can only watch him afar, feeling like there's no way you two can be together?
Familiar to most people, I'm sure.
And yes, I effing hate that feeling.
I just felt like I'm causing myself unnecessary hurt. Hence I came to the conclusion, I'm not gonna fall for any guy. Besides, my inability to express my true feelings will only cause any relationship to break down. I'm better off being single. :D
So back to MOF! I was filling up a membership application form with one of the pens at each table. Then this one waitress saw me and asked me if I would like to use her pen instead. She's so nice!
When Esther and I left the place, even the kitchen staff looked up from their counters to say bye. I was amazed and smiled and said bye back. It's the first time in all my restaurant dining experiences that a kitchen staff greeted me. Oh, I just love all the staff there. They're wonderful. :)
Headed over to the Flyer! We had to go for this security check before we can board the flyer.
On the way to the area to board the capsule.
The 30mins ride began!
The only thing to see at night - City lights.
Lookit the teeny cars going below us!
Yea, the whole 30-mins was spent taking photos. Ha! :D
She has the eyes of someone who is set on the distant future. OK, I'm guessing what's on her mind at that moment so I might be wrong. Heh. ;/
I look a little cocky in this photo! :D
Much better!
Our favourite pose when it comes to taking photos.
After the ride, we took a slow walk along the road to City Hall. Long walks to nowhere are nice. It gives a momentary feeling of being closer to nature and away from the hectic city life.
On the MRT on the way home.
Esther surprised me by saying the same thing as my favourite Naruto character said. I think the same way too. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Are we really right when we accuse people? Or... ? Or... ?

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "Reality." But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts... their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?" - Uchiha Itachi
