Confessions of an Idllyic Mind

Ola~

Yesterday I had a wonderful time. Reason being:

1) Good food - Eventhough slightly pricey. But high class you know
2) Great company - My lovely girlies. Thanx Ling for coming all the way back from Penang just for me. Thanks Gill for making the bookings and looking for the place. Thanks Si Lai for being there. Thanx to the guys for making the evening lovelier with the appearance. Got guys i feel safer. Haha
3) Me looking good. Hahaha. This one was self proclaimed. Looking good made me feel confident. Thanx to the designers at Urban & Co. for making a dress that compliments my figure. Thanx to Vincci for making the heels that completed my outfit. Thanx to my own ingenuity that made the whole outfit work. Mua ha ha
4) Most importantly, All thanx be to God that has blessed me abundance and that has and always be looking out for me no matter where i go.

So, the evening started with Ling picking me up. Only had like 15 mins to do my hair and make up. Had hardly my mascara on when she came. So needless to say my face looked like a disaster. Anyways. We went to Midvalley in search of another fren's bday gift. Ok we can skip all of that. So we arrived early to the place. Its called "La Bodega" in Bangsar. Its like casual fine Spanish dining. We ordered several different dishes of Tapas (Any of various small, savory Spanish dishes, often served as a snack or with other tapas as a meal). We had (let me see if i can remember) escargot, lobster & shrimp croquette, lamb cutlets, button mushrooms with some fancy sauce, some deep fried calamari, and a moorish chicken kebab. Those came in very small portions so pls do not be alarmed. They came with 2 big baskets of bread. Then for main course we had 2 types of Paella. One with rice and the other, pasta. In the paella was prawns, peas, mussels, squid etc. Was delicious! The pasta wasnt that nice but the rice was great! Moving on to dessert, we had 3 types of single scoop ice cream. Cookies & cream, Kalamansi (dangerous one), one alcoholic one involving rum and something i forgot. The Kalamansi was lime ice cream i think. With NO added sugar. No wonder it said 93% fat free. More like 93% stomach ulser causing agent. You should have seen me and Gillian. We took a large spoonful each and once we ate it our face shrunk like a raisin. Had loads of fun and laughter. All of us looked amazing with our dresses and short skirts.

Ok. After La Bodega we went to Matrix in Phileo Damansara. Its a bistro with lotsa pool tables. Had a drink called Seabreeze. Alcoholic duh. But was quite watered down. Would have ordered several more if it wasnt for my rapidly thinning wallet. Played some pool too. Not very good at it but hey atleast i gave it a shot. Only arrived home at 2am in the morn. Exhausted but happy.

Heres the part everyone is waiting for. Its picture time! Do enjoy ...

Sighs. Wish we could go back to our carefree days. Alas we cannot. I'll really really miss them. Love you girls to death!!
