chicken and lion

Tuesday
 
Finally met up with Simona. It has been like nearly 4 years since we last seen each other (if you discount that run-in thingy we had a City Hall MRT a couple of years back).And we have known each other like more than 6 years already. But funny thing is that we have never actually sat down and talked for any extended period of time. We sorta restricted ourselves to just talking crap whilst on 'official duty' at the Zoo. I did not know very much about Simona and she did not know very much about me either despite our long acquaintance and our regular contact.

I met Simona at Heeren.There was some sort of mis-communication where Simona waited outside (near the Old Chang Kee) and I was inside near the HMV and fountain. But in the end we managed to find each other. Being chronically indecisives we finally settled on having ice-cream at Swensen's. We followed dessert by having a main course!! For ice-creams I had Merrimint and Sims had this other thing with a strange generic name (almost).For main courses I had Fish Baked Rice and Simona had a Sandwich with a strange generic name also!!
After that the indecisives took a walk down Orchard towards Forum where we had coffee at Coffee Beans & Tea Leaf. Actually neither of us had coffee. I had an ice blended cocoa and Simmy had a banana thingy with a somewhat generic name.

It was cool to talk with her and finding out stuff that I shoulda known a long time ago. She sure has some rather sobering tales of her dating(?) experiences. They make my own experiences pale by comparision. If anything Simona is witty and smart in an almost condescending way.Just the way I like it. No wonder we get along...

After 'coffee', Simona like the 'gentleman' she is walked me to my car which was parked at Cairnhill. I gave her a lift to Mohamad Sultan's where she was gonna meet some friends.
