Heys all, it's Sunday once again and that means it's been yet another day out with my AWESOME bro JL! Hahas, we went swimming at SAFRA again yesterday. Jurong SAFRA!
This time though, we decided to get one other guy to come along,T. So the three of us met at Jurong Point(JP) at around 1300 and we then proceeded to Carl's Junior for some lunch. Hahas, seeing as I wasn't really too hungry and that we were planning to go swimming right after lunch, I didn't eat much though. I just had some fries haha!
After we had lunch, I decided to make a quick drop- by Guardian to get some sun block for use for our future swimming meet ups. However, I really had to hurry as it was getting kind of late and the sun will not stay strong for too long. Hahas, I certainly wanted good sun for my swim so that I get a nice tan too. On the other hand, T needed to leave soon so we had to get to the pool asap if he were to do any swimming. I got to Guardian and after some looking around, paid for my first sun block lotion which cost around $12 and we left for Jurong SAFRA.
By then, it was almost 1400 already and the sun was indeed much weaker than I had hoped. It was also much too late for T to do much swimming and so he left. Hahas, now it was just JL and me, much easier for us to manage our time seeing as it was only the two of us. We decided to begin with a target of how many laps to swim. Hahas, we then decided on 20 for starters. It was really just OTOT for the 20 laps and we did take our time at it haha! Mann.... this was probably the most number of laps I had swam in quite a while. I usually just give up even before I had reached 10 lol! Now, with JL swimming with me, we encouraged each other and soon completed the 20 laps. Well.... soon in the eyes of the tortoise I guess because we only ended at around 1800! HAHA!! We then went for a quick shower.
After that, we needed to decided on a good place for our dinner. We decided to head to town lol... and ended up taking an MRT to Suntec haha! Then, we threw ard some suggestions for dinner and finally decided on Aston's. Haha, I have been wanting to try their Double Down Chicken since the last time I had a meal at Aston's. We got to Aston's and was greeted with a super long queue right from the entrance of Aston's, stretching all the way along the side of the restaurant and up some steps. Hahas, taking a look at my watch, I took note of the time and mentally started to time how long our wait for dinner was. It was about 2000 which was dinner time so the queue was somewhat expected. Thankfully, the queue was moving kind of fast too and we were soon cleared of the steps and headed towards the entrance. When it soon got to our turn, getting a table for us wasn't difficult as there were only two of us. A small table in the middle of the restaurant sufficed! We made our orders pretty quickly and got our dinner quite quickly too. Hahas, that was probably coz we were chatting away and time thus seemed to fly by. Wow... I sure do have loads to talk about with this buddy of mine hahas!
Ohh yahh, the Double Down chicken meal comes with a choice of two kinds of chicken on their menu. I picked Lemon Lime and Hickory's BBQ Chicken for that sweet and sour taste which I so craved then. Indeed, the long- craved Double Down Chicken didn't disappoint at all. It was superbly delicious and I literally cleaned out every single drip and drop on my plate haha. JL cleaned off his dinner too and we left after paying for our meal. Hahas, two pieces of chicken for the price of one. How is that not money well spent? I'm certainly coming to Aston's for a meal again soon. I'm sure hoping it's with JL again hahas!
Our stomach bulging with food, we had to have a walk around the mall before we did anything else. Anyways, there was still much time left. Thus, we did some shopping and poked into some shops for a whle. Our legs soon grew tired and we looked for a cafe to lepak. We picked the Starbuck's Cafe in CityLink and headed back into the underground. Hahas, it was not too long after that we were laying in comfy armchairs in Starbuck's with piping hot mugs of drinks haha! We had even gotten ourselves a cheesecake to share. Lepak lol! Haha... what was even better was that there were magazines there which we could help ourselves to. I picked a few and sat there reading while sipping through my Caffe Mocha(I think that's what it was) and taking small pieces out of the cheesecake. It was just wonderfully relaxing and peaceful. After another two hours or so passed, our drinks were finished and there were only crumbs left of our cheesecake. We got up to leave and headed back along CityLink back to City Hall MRT station where we parted for home. Hahas, we were both going in opposite directions. 11 stops separated both of us from home... exactly 11 stops! Hahas... how very coincidental uhh? We sure are destined to be best buddies!! Well, be meeting up soon again of course. Next Saturday to be exact... Hahahha!!
