Day out with NP buddies

A supposing lunch session to support sZ at his not-so-newly restaurant @ Santa Hotel turned out to be a lunch session+movie+coffee+dinner. All thanks to us the spontaneous people! lolx.

Our as usual kind aZ picked wC, hC and me up to go to De Grand Restaurant @ Santa Hotel. It is a small and simple restaurant at a budget hotel. We sat at the location where there is this very nice purple chair.

And me posing with the seafood pasta:

I am quite unlucky that day, although it was a GOOD FRIDAY. While I was peeling the mussel off the shell, it landed on my light blue jeans. GOD DAMN IT! Sigh.... got to go to the toilet to clean it. Guess it's gonna leave some stains.

ME!

Next were the desserts:

As I am a seafood and sweet foodie, I would say the food here is not bad and value for money. Come and take a look when you are free!

Anyway, while eating, sZ asked if we were interested for a movie - Source Code.

We went to Downtown East to watch the 3.20pm show after he finished his work at 2.45pm but we were late and missed the first "dunno" how many minutes show.

The synopsis of the show (taken from Cathay Cineplexes):

"When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the “Source Code,” a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. Filled with mind-boggling twists and heart-pounding suspense, Source Code is a smart action-thriller directed by Duncan Jones ( Moon ) also starring Michelle Monaghan ( Eagle Eye, Due Date ), Vera Farmiga ( Up in the Air, The Departed ), and Jeffrey Wright ( Quantum of Solace, Syriana ). "

Hmmm, the show was not too bad. And it depicts how every minute and second counts. In addition, I guess the importance of telling your family and loved ones how much you loved them before either one of you are gone. In reality, however, unlike the movie, we are unable to relive any moment or incident over and over again and prevent things from happening.

After movie, we chilled out at coffee bean and played Iphone games! I wondered if there was anyone sending me msn messages as I saw a "popout" when sZ was playing Ipan on my phone.

Almost met up with my superglue sister but didn't as the next destination that we went was quite inaccessible for her.

We were at the Bark Cafe @ The Changi Chapel

Our dinners, although we were still quite full from all the eating:

It was a great day, at least for me. To put my mind off from a-not-so-good ending at work on Thursday.
