Marina Rectangle
Why do they even call it Marina Square? It's more like a rectangle. I remember thinking on the way there (since I can safely say I had never been to Marina Square before until that day) that even if I got lost, I'd be exploring new places. Haha. So the already 15min late me sauntered out from City Hall and sluggishly made my way slowly (but languidly) from the MRT station to Billy Bombers to meet Ashley and Clarice. I was so surprised to find out that there are so many eateries at Marina. Like, one LONG list of restaurants stretching from top to bottom on the directory. Some even have plastic models of the food they sell, and I knew I ogled at some cool Japanese desserts. Ahem. But I must always keep in mind that people are more important than food, so I shall now proceed to describe Clarice and Ashley. Weird or what? I always hang out with friends whose names start with "A" and "C". Ashley and Clarice, Adlin and Calista... O_O I just realised this amazing fact. WAHAHAHA. Ashley, apparently, has had a change of hairstyle 3 times this past month, and so now she has several patches of straw blonde mingled with remnants of washed-out green, and a lonely hair extension hanging out of nowhere. I know this is not exactly a very flattering description, but I'm telling it like it is. ^^ Clarice has a single blue hair ext. which I think is appropriate in a subtle way. For me? I love my hair thank you. It has stayed this way since I was a baby and I hope it'll stay this way until I'm old and it starts graying. XD Dyeing hair is like losing your virginity. YOU CAN'T GO BACK. So that's why my hair's special. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
We were wishy-washying on where to munch, so reliable Ashley made the abrupt decision to eat at Cafe Cartel (proclaiming loudly that she now hates Asian food and will advocate Western food from now on). Upon arrival however, she switched to wanting to eat at Swensons' instead, so in we went. ^^ I think I was just "blur"ly following along. I am SO NOT a town person. Played around with Clarice's D Mobo phone a bit, then her salad came together with gigantic fork and spoon. LOL. Her eyes bugged out can? She thought she would be eating a "light" meal. But how light can $9.90 be? Me and Ashley's (I am carefully not using Ash's, since she specifically complained about that during lunch. I'm so considerate.) chicken baked rice came along, and we happily dug in. Miracles of miracles, I managed to finish my baked rice and I was still hungry. ^^ Thank goodness for Ashley's apple crumble. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! OMG. Now I know to order apple crumble when in Swensons. Crap. Just thinking about it now makes me wanna eat it. X3 I had my ice chocolate blended (thick and yummy) and we set off for the bowling alley.
Guess what??? Clarice wears size 4 bowling shoes can? I wore like size 7. But mine was strangely comfortable and worn, I almost didn't want to return it. ^^ At first I kept long-kanging, but then I got used to it and remembered how to bowl. We only played 2 games though (love those 8kg balls) and ended up at the arcade where Ash showed off hr skills in shooting and ParaPara. O_O She scored at the top of the hi-score list in ParaPara can? And just a little note: I only come to arcades once in a blue moon, so if felt strangely weird going into one again. I can safely say that I haven't been to the arcades since I was...primary six...12-13 years old. O_O And I remember my fave game was the hit the crocodiles as they come out of the hole game. That's the only game worth pplaying in an arcade, if you ever bother asking me. Ash and Clarice played a bit of a lame drum game, then we wandered around those small cute shops again. I LOVE SMALL-TIME SHOPS LIKE THESE. I'm not really into Espirit or Giordano etc. Preferably nameless shops, or Ice Lemon Tee.
Ashley's parents arrived at Jack's Place at around 5.30pm, and we were at Watsons marveling over these miracle glasses with little holes in the black lens. It really made a difference when I put them on. I was like OMG IT ACTUALLY WORKS??? After Ashley left, me and Clarice went noseying around shops like The Body Shop and Mini Toons (where I bought this pretty starry bracelet in gold, bronze and silver). I felt really happy with my purchase at Ice Lemon Tee, although I had to dig quite deep into my pockets for it. Clarice bought this bear soft toy storage box for her sister's birthday, it was so sweet. The day ended with us parting ways at the horrendously crowded MRT station. ARGH. Sardines ok, sardines.
DUM DUM DUM DUM. So this was my day at Marina Rectangle, where I finally got my MP3 to work again. *big sloppy grin* Once again, I'm being hounded by mozzies... And why must Saiunkoku have 39 episodes? It's breaking my heart...
...is what I said. Savvy?
