today is just so unexpected. usually it's just a normal church day, after church we'll have lunch and then head home to do work, but today was a change!! a good one.

today at church, T's lookalike was avoiding me. great. uhhhh. not a nice feeling. in addition, after church i was hoping to catch new ah gong to discuss some stuff with him but there was this chick who was.. umm.. giving me the sour face when i tried to talk to him, so i backed off. those were probably the downside of today.

although i am accustom to a group of us going lunch each week, a group of around 6 or 7, today was quite funny, 16 of us ending up crashing KFC and the KFC people were like "oh my goodness, so many pple!" tina and i were complaining that we are the only "non-couple" people other than brian and his mother. after lunch, ling's ride left without her so we decided to drop her off at northbridge where she was meeting some other people. however, once we were at northbridge, we ended up getting bbt.

back at the car, tina was saying her entertainment book is expiring on the 1st of june so we shld use as many coupons as possible. the entertainment book is a yearly thing where like you pay $60 for membership to get this book FULL of discounts from like one for one meal vouchers at fast food places or 25% of total bills at high class restaurants or discounted movie tickets/bike hiring/entrance passes and stuff. hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of discount. all for just $60 per year! so.... we took the entertainment book out and sat at the northbridge park looking at what we shld do. timezone (the arcade) was offering "buy one $5 powercard and get another $5 free"... so like typicall money-saving students... off we went to the arcade!!

it was fun. we raced daytona, played time crisis II, air hockey and basketball. we ended up chocking up like 55 tickets and i exchanged it for a banana ring! how cute is that!!! we thought it was the end of our day out but somehow or another, we ended up shooting pool at potblack for the next 2 hours because we had the "pay for 1hr and get another hr free" coupon. we had so much fun! i lost to tina 1-5. boohoohoo.

as if it wasn't late enough (7ish) and i was bummed, we decided to go to one of the upperty restaurants coz they were having the one for one meal deal, using our coupon. i ordered the pork fillets with grilled asparagus, potato fritata and mushroom sauce and tina ordered the slow braised lamb shanks with potato gratin. what can i say, the food was awesome... but i tell you what rocked my day.... CHOCOLATE FONDUE!!!!!! heaven.. bliss.... marshmellows, strawberries and sponge fingers... drenched in melted chocolate. awwww..... and guess what?? we paid a total of only $33.50 for this entire meal!! (considering the pork main course was $26 alone!)

dinner was awesome and what made it even better was the conversation. although tina is a good 5 years my senior, we share alot of similaries... esp what we look for in guys (because ling and tina have been harassing me about new ah gong). yeaps, and it's really fun hanging arnd her because she is always smiling and full of energy. given her 2005/2006 entertainment book is expiring on the 1st of june. we both agree to share the next 2006/2007 entertainment book. given most discounts are usually "one for one" or something to that effect, and amount of discounts in that book is ridiculous.. one person will never finish using them unless they go out everyday, both of us agree to invest $30 each and share. makes sense since we do hang out quite abit and not practical for each of us to get one each. so we're sharing.

honestly, the book is sooo worth it i encourage anyone in perth to invest in one. the savings are massive!! it has discounts for everything you can think of: KFC, boost juice, java juice, gym, spa, rockclimbing, horse riding, entrance to the museum, movie tickets, hungry jacks.. and all the high class restaurants and cafes. awesome..

what a fun day.... i'm so shagged. i didn't do any work but i just can't remember a day i had this much fun. so thank GOD for today!! =)
