I had a great time tonight.

We went back to his place after work so that he could take a shower. Devoured 2 durians before we went out for dinner. Had a hard time searching through the Makan Sutra that we bought and deciding where to eat. Finally, we chucked the Sutra aside and decided to go to Cafe211 at Holland V for dinner. Too bad we could not sit in the al fresco area as the sky was threatening to rain. But we managed to get a seat in the sheltered area outside for my coffee after dinner. I learnt that it takes this certain fixed amount of seconds, after you see lightning flash across the sky, for the thunder to be heard. It comes in "sixes", as in, 6 seconds, 16 seconds, 26 seconds, etc. We sat there and counted the seconds till we heard the thunder roll after the lightning. IT was almost accurate! Now that's cool man...

After dinner we went downstairs and he bought his usual magazine. We went for a drive and drove all the way to MacRitchie reservior where we saw one of the most beautiful full moons against a picturesque foreground of trees. It was romantic...but we did not saty long cos we were parked in a one-way lane and had to go off after one car drove in as well. Nevertheless, it was beautiful.

We drove into Caldecott Hill after that. Actually, we were just driving around the private estate there and we were looking at the huge bungalows there. There was this one particular one that really made my jaw drop. It was someone's house but it looked more like some country club. The high roman pillars and the driveway, the balcony and those ceiling fans, the carefully maintained garden with the articifial waterfall and pond...it was really breathtaking. We just sat in our car and stared in awe at the majesty of the house. My god ,what do these people do for a living to earn that kind of money to afford that kind of house?? Not that we're envious or jealous or what...we're realistic and we know what we can and cannot afford. But it's just quite nice to daydream and fantasize about these houses. Hehe...

I was so sleepy after that and he told me to take a nap while he drove me home. Then I woke up and we were on the top of Bt Batok Hill (decided to name that place that). He just sat there and let me nap...it was very sweet of him and I felt very comfy and safe. Then at about 11pm, he drove me home...

I had such a great time tonight...
