> 2 is a crowd

Went out last nite with my colleauges to New York New York, a NYDC-type of restaurant where Yvette's hubby is one of the chefs. So-so typical american burger/ribs/sandwich joint in large portions, and obviously 99% of the patrons are the teenage and young adults crowd. Super crowded and macham noisy like crazy. As we sat there munching and having good conversation (for the 1st time in over 7 yrs I had a root beer float, just because the pic on the menu looked soooo beckoning), we observed the crazy human traffic milling and moving at turtle speed at the citylink walkway. Didn't I say Singapore is waaaaay too crowded?? That scene just reinforced and triple enforced my belief. Gawd, when and where did we birth so many children?? Who said anything about declining birth rate? Bah.

We witnessed an event of a lifetime - Nicole actually using her hands to eat her ribs!! Those of us who know her well know her as super anal and super sanitized about everything. She sanitizes everything and amongst her stranger quirks, she actually has sets of clothing she wears just to play with her dog. Poor fella actually has to wait for her to get home, get changed into old t/shirt and shorts before she pats him. And she sanitizes her clothes and her hands before and after touching her dog. Sheesh. Anyway, the memorable fingers-to-ribs event was captured on my handy phonecam. Of course, post-ribs eating she spent a good 10 mins wiping down each and every finger including scraping the undersides of her fingernails just to ensure they are totally clean. We all rolled our eyes in exasperation. Citylink mall, btw, was probably super duper extra crowded that night as there was a fireworks display at 9pm. Same thing happened at our LPS satay outing, there was a fireworks display which probably accounted for why crowds of people were there too. I witness neither fireworks event, preferring to tuck into food comfort food.

The cowburglar who nabbed Nattie struck again - apparently it seems there is now a Natty cousin standing lonesomely at some road divider at Beach Road. Poor bovine even lost part of its tail during its 'adventure' of being herded away from the rest of its family. No guessing who the 'shepard' was. Would have loved to see this cow but I'm sure park rangers would have escorted it home to its herd by now.

Natty cousin has been removed by NEA.. he not there today.. probably with the rest of teh herd, near the Balloon...sad...he so enjoyed his freedom!!

er.. about the restaurant..er.. got any DISCOUNT?.. do they make HUGE burgers there?.. (raoul curious)..
I dun think that the number of pple at city link etc are the result of the baby boom.. me thinks that there are NOT many places fun to o to sin singapore anyways!!..so they all end up there!!..er.. also, there WAS a fireworks display....so i think you were basically in the worng place at the wrong time situation..

Hey, with all your chinese series watching...er.. pick up any kung fu tricks?..can you do reverse back spinning kicks?.. you know in those movies, the sifu just shows the student one new pattern and the student can replicate the move..with lots of qi power and shockwaves!!
