Helen's

started training for swimming again.
been off-form for a long while, time to get in shape.
hit the pool after lectures yesterday (which didn't feel like a school day anyway!)
taking it slow. thankfully the weather's been good too.
by the time i was done at 8pm, realized my left arm was aching...
yes, i'm a breast-stroker. hahah.

then went down to thomson for dinner.
hey Muck, u shld check this place out!!! peranakan cuisine =D
it's at the stretch opposite Ivins, next to the chinese claypot rice shop called Helen's.
the chap chye and chicken curry is damn good! same price but much bigger serving than Ivins.
the chicken curry is thin, as in very little coconut milk and more assam juice.
so it's a bit sour-ish but very appetizing. chap chye wasn't as mushy as Ivins too.
and their durian puff is damn good! u can taste the texture of the durian fruit! thou the puff not really that nice... overall i give 6.50/10.

from the thomson main road, walk in towards Sin Ming Ave. when u reach a Y-junction, adjacently opposite the old HDB flates, there's this small new building at the right hand side.
yes, the one with the renovation / floor boarding showroom one.
there's a quaint small ice cream place called IceKimos. they serve damn good waffles!
the ice cream was so-so only... (weird flavours like jasmine, green tea with red beans, teh tahrik, milo, horlicks etc...) the generic belgian chocolate and chocolate with cookies all taste the same..
anyway, 2 scoops and a waffles cost $5.
i'll just get the plain waffle with honey and butter the nex time round =)
oh, they allow us to play board-games too! no, but i didn't have it last nite k?
dinner at Helen's was more than what i can stomach.

came home, showered again and plonked on my bed and zzz till 10am..
sleep has never felt so peaceful.
