Yesterday I met up with some of my aussie friends, whom I have not seen for more than 2 weeks. They touched down on home soil on Sunday evening, and like me when I just came back, they are currently down with a slight flu. Hmmm, must be something about the weather or the air here. We decided to go to Popeye's Chicken and Biscuit at T3, as I wanted to try it. =) Popeye's tastes not too bad, the chicken was normal, but their fries and mash potato are worth mentioning. Sorry, no photos, as my sister took my camera with her on holiday to the Middle East (technically the camera is hers, as she got it for me, as a birthday present, last year).
It was fun talking, laughing and reuniting with them again. Even though it has only been a couple of weeks, I sure missed their company. After dinner, one of them suggested we go to this ice cream cafe at Siglap for desserts. I forgot the name of the place, but it's not a very catchy name. Their concept is not very original too, sort of copied it from Cold Rock, where you can add mix-ins (oreos, kit kats, m&ms, froot loops, etc.) to your chosen flavour of ice cream, and they mash them together on a frozen surface (like stir-fry) before serving it in a cup. We spent about another hour sitting in the cafe chatting and enjoying the ice cream. Soon, it was getting late, and it was time to go. It was nice catching up with them again, and I will most probably meet them again before I fly back to the Coast next week.
This poignant piece from one of my favourite classical pianist, Kevin Kern, always comes into my mind when I am reminded of the happy times I spent together with friends. The feeling I have inside of me, when I listen to the song, is one of cherished happiness and joy. Nothing can take away the wonderful memories that have been formed through your life journey, be they childhood memories, best friends, family love, past and current lovers. May it have the same therapeutic effect on a good friend, be grateful for the love and opportunities, be positive, and everything will be alright. =)
