update

friday: odyssey to serangoon gardens with su-lin and jianyi, mostly for ice^3. unfortunately, the second visit did not live up to expectations created by the first. too-small portions, and for every acceptable flavour of ice cream (caramel sesame, peanut butter) one that left much to be desired (cheesy strawberry, chocolate indulgence). su-lin orderd a completely inedible cheesecake, and left most of it behind (it was to the waiter's credit, however, that he offered us a free piece of cake in exchange when he noticed). fortunately, the conversation made up for all other disappoinments.

saturday: times book fair, expo, with friend shaun, su-lin, and (briefly) rashidah. bought: gould's book of fish: a novel in twelve fish, voyage to the end of the room (tibor fischer), dirt music (tim winton), the book of illusions (paul auster) and others i have forgotten. dinner at a mediocre french restaurant that shall remain unnamed, then home for conversation that would have gone on longer but for FrSh needing to get the last train.

sunday: jiahao's. the return of the king, extended edition. billy crudup being gay and loving it. home.
