Night out with Enigma

Had dinner with Enigma at Changing Appetites in Marina Square just now.
My virgin time there...didn't know that the restaurant served Mexican & American cuisine..

Had a grilled dory served with plain Fajitas...you were supposed to wrap it all up in the fajita or was it tortilla..
Can't remember...some prata looking plain piece of flour that you were supposed to wrap your food in.
Much like the Mexican version of the local popiah...
Interesting lah haha...had fun playing with the food..

We conversed in French (albeit broken French) abit...He spoke more though cos he was more used to conversational French plus he had a colleague who speaks french too and can practice with....

I hate speaking in French cos my thought processes get really very slow so I switched to Mandarin or English half the time...lol..
Nevertheless, it gave me a good opportunity to practice a little...

Caught up on each other's situations, blah blah blah.....

And we left early, around nine-ish...We happened to be on the bridge in between Marina Square & Suntec Convention Centre and the VOILA!!! The fireworks started!

How timely!!

Got a good space along the bridge and just stood there for 15 minutes watching the fireworks display...
Hmm..would have preferred a more appropriate companion to watch the display with but oh well... haha shan't gripe too much....;p

As I watched the fireworks go off in a myriad of colours, shapes and proportions...
I realised something...One knows one has become a cynical adult when one looks at the fireworks and thinks to his or herself the following...

There goes my taxes. There goes your taxes. There goes our taxes!!!??!!!
How much money has been spent on these fireworks??!!!
Not only for this display, for the 3 NE rehearsals, one preview show and the actual NDP?
There goes lotsa money which maybe could have ben put to better use?

I mean, the though that the fireworks were nice to look at did cross my mind...But it was only transient beauty...
I was drawn more to the fact that *bham* $5,000 was gone in 2 seconds...
Another *bham* and $8,000 was gone in 3 seconds...

Ah well...the SG government is rich..................................

Took the long walk through citylink to get to the MRT station..
Passed by the new ice-cream parlour shop (forgot the name)..the one selling French sweet parfait.....
Bought a waffle cone titled Chocolat Sienne to share...
It was essentially chocolate ice-cream mixed with chopped-up brownies and chocolate chips...

What a sinful night......Hmm...and my throat is not 100% well yet...
Opps........;p

Oh yah, Enigma's treat tonight....woot woot! ahhaa...
