Lonely rivers flow to the sea...

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"

Today I drove to pick Agnes at her place. I took the PIE and ended up 1/2 hour late.So much for the rewards of being adventurous and blazing a new trail. Me seems tardy last couple of days. Was late yesterday to meet Natt and Nads,so too today. Anyway I finally got to her place and found her on a bench at the void deck.

We were initially planning to go to the Baker's Inn at either Plaza Singapura or Fullerton but I suggested TCC at Boat Quay. Had a good time there on Thursday and thought it might be better.Anyway I had a bad experience at Baker's Inn the last time when I was there with Simona. To recollect: the food and tea they served was the worst I ever had. Bleh!

Agnes had a chicken breast dish and I had the dory fish. She had some trouble finishing it so I helped her along but there were still some potato wedges leftover.
She did not seem to enjoy it as much as I had hoped.Probably had more than a little to do with the peculiar seating arrangements (read: bean bags and low tables).

After dinner we took a slow walk down the river through Boat Quay and Riverside Point,and then crossed over to the Clarke Quay and Empress Place side. Along the way we stopped by the G-max ride at Clarke Quay to witness it in action up close. Looks really thrilling. Gotta try it sometime soon. I also got to find out a little about Agnes too. I discovered she does not like thrill rides, and that she is scared of Lion Dances and that she can't swim. Heh heh heh *plots in his mind*

We got back to the car and I was at at a loss where to go next. Agnes suggested Orchard and Suntec, but in the end we went to Mount Faber. Apparently she has never been there before. As the night wore on I also discovered a few other places she has not been to. Lotsa possibilities for future outings. When we got to Mt. Faber it was rather quiet for a saturday night.We soon discovered the reason why. It was because the lookout point was closed for renovations. We then sat and chatted on one of the benches overlooking Telok Blangah for a bit before heading for our next destination...

We drove over to Sentosa! I parked at the lots just outside Dolphin Lagoon and we walked along the road to Palawan beach. It was kinda quiet. We crossed the famous bridge across to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia. I as usual played the silly monkey and tried making the suspension bridge sway much to Agnes chagrin. It was a really cool and breezy night as we climbed up the lookout post to the top. Up there we chatted again about stuff. Really having fun getting to know this young lady in my life.

After that we got down from up there and made our way across the bridge once more to the mainland. This time I was made to walk up front as she was already wise to my tricks. Clever girl.

We then walked further down the beach towards Bora Bora side. The pubs were already closing or closed so we stopped by the 7-eleven under the monorail station where we each got a blackcurrant Hooch each. I had wanted to venture out to the breakwaters and sit on the rocks but Agnes did not feel comfortable walking on sand with her 'ballet' shoes, so we walked back in the general direction of the car and planted ourselves at one of the wooden tables lining the beach where we slowly sipped our Hooches. We did nothing else, but chat again once more. I guess we are getting more comfortable together now and the initial awkwardness from our first 'date' has slowly dissipated. Having fully consumed our drinks we walked back to the car.

I sent her to her place and walked her up to her flat...

Then took another nice drive back with the music blaring and the windows down. I really enjoy this sort of drives on the TPE back home. ..
