Yup, so we did go Cafe cartel at suntec after all, and I did have my ribs and pizza..Woohoo.. Saw the finalists for the Lianhe Zaobao glamour quest contestants there too. I managed to guess correctly the winner for the females, a 14 year old australian. But it was harder to guess for the males as lets face it, they all look the same-tall, hunky and droolicious bods. That is with the exception of one who had the height, and the face of a Michelangelo's sculpture, but sadly, the body of a girl, enough said.

On the way home, Dad took a wrong turn and he brought me on an 'educational tour' around the red-light district. I was filled with a mixture of fascination and disgust. Call me sheltered, but I had never really seen one before and certainly not bevies of them crowding the alleys. Heavily painted ones, thin ones, fat ones, really decent looking ones. I even saw a proposition taking place. It was certainly an eye opener. The disgust was because there were an eually many number of men around, lao ah peks, lewd boorish ones and even the occasional expatriates, and of course the sleazy hotels.

I saw a BMW 6 series convertible on the roads today. Man oh man, it is such a beauty, what wouldnt I give to sit in one, or drive one for that matter. Its so sleek and elegant and I love convertibles. Pity the guy driving was some ugly middle aged, balding, paunching man(I am a big meanie). They all are anyway, those who can afford to drive one..Its one thing I have always noticed, cos I would always notice nice cars first, and then the drivers second. hahaha....Speaking of driving, I still havent driven on the roads since I passed my driving test, sigh. Mom won't let me drive the Volvo cos she said its too big and powerful for me to handle. And dad keeps prevaricating when I said I wanted to drive his car and kept saying something about buying a matchbox car for me...sigh...and wonder who was the one who insisted I learn driving in the first place.
