got back from a fantastic buffet dinner at Triple 3 in Meritus Mandarin.. dessert was like a new course on itself. the usual fresh fruits.. along with strawberries next to a small chocolate fountain, various homemade chocolates: dark chocolate with mint filling that floored me; coffee choc that got me high; almond stick choc that made me grin like silly.. plus various cakes like tiramisu, creme brulee, dark chocolate thick bread pudding.. adorable fruit tarts.. puddings with a hint of rum and chocolate fudge, some with sago.. and the most adorable chocolate mousse that i've ever seen which sent me to an all-time nut, smiling at the little white dish. you can't imagine how bloated i was just from desserts..

tried nearly all the meat (one piece each only!).. the picatte turkey, herbed duck, roast beef, honey ham, sashimi, cold soba, baked potato (fine, the last two aren't meat) and had so much lobster!! one full lobster if you think abt it.. half a spicy lobster and half a black pepper one.. i'm quite stuffed and feeling fat now.. haven't counted the vegetable soup even.. can u imagine if i had gone for the lobster bisque? i wldn't be sitting here typing.. i would lying down and typing.

to think this morning started out crummy.. didn't feel too good.. like some nagging inner depression slowly seeping out and destroying my day slowly... it got worse until i reached heeren.. met this nice shopkeeper.. think he's gay... but he's an amazing designer.. his clothes are gorgeous and i was tempted to ask him to design a corduroy jacket for me. if my funds had allowed for it, i would have gone completely bonkers... there was an adorable pink jacket.. and a really nice dressy black top which would be amazing with jeans and a slightly flare soft black floral skirt. i had to restrain myself from trying on more skirts.. in the end, he brought out smth he thought i would like. and boy was he correct! skirt with embroidery.. i bought it in the end. ahahah.. $70!! urgh

oh.. there were a bunch of dudes walking around and singing during dinner.. amazing singers.. they serenaded our table with "besame mucho" (listening to it now! luis miguel all the way!!) and "something stupid" (frank sinatra rocks!!).. hee hee.. later, we overheard them doing "sway". amazing stuff.. good dinner.. just wish they had returned to our table again.. then i would ask for "emotions" by beegees and "that's amore" by dean martin. hee hee. oh well.. contented tonight.. feeling better. thanks to those who prayed for me and spoke to me to comfort me!

think i'll be visiting that shop at heeren again.. Benno La Mode. the shopkeeper had quickly figured out that i'm a T-shirt and jeans girl.. and he seemed pleased that i was willing to wear more feminine clothes.. just to "try it out for fun" and both of us were laughing when i said that my friends would get a rude shock. he agreed readily. sighz.. i like how my days end nicely.. and daryl's seriously nuts.. i'm worrying for him.. the way he sits up and waves at sean everytime sean walks past.. yesh, daryl, u are damn weird. i hope they read the email i sent to you which called you a moron.. ahahahha
