"All cats are bats
All bats are rats
>All cats are rats"
This is a valid argument! (Though unsound it may be)

Supper with V Gang (okay, so only May, Ivan and Ruiyi turned up) at Simpang Bedok.

Menu for the day:
Chicken rice paprik (Black pepper chicken with nasi goreng)
Egg Prata
Chicken Masala Murtabak (Chicken Prata with cheese and onions)
Tissue/ Paper Prata (Cone-shaped prata)
Prata Bomb (Fattening Prata with lotsa butter)
Roti John Special (French loaf with sweet sauce)

After much deliberation, the judges decided in a 3 to 1 vote that the Chicken Masala Murtabak was the best order (with a unanimous 4-0 vote on the most disappointing item - The Prata Bomb). In second place was the Roti John Special. Considering the relatively reasonable ($5/person) cost of the meal, it's certainly worth another go in future.

After supper, I wanted to grab a drink, so we went to the Shop 'N Save nearby. What awaited me was a frantic search for bottled and canned drinks, as I spent five minutes racing up and down the various aisles before reaching the 'beverage' aisle. Lo and behold! 'Beverage' in supermarket language means "Milo, tin", "3-in-1 coffeemix" and "Teabags". Frustrated by the layout of the supermarket, I stormed out without making a purchase (I found out on my way out that drinks were sold outside the store).

Went to Marina Square's Long John Silver's for dinner with JM and ZR. From past (bad) experience, I decided against ordering any of the 'special' meals, instead opting for the safer Combo meal. JM tried the grilled fish rice (with rice and fries), and ended up having to wait fifteen minutes before being served. And the worst thing? He had TWO servings of rice and one of fries. Apparently, the counter staff did not inform him that 'side orders' were independant of the main item (fish AND rice), so he ordered rice anyway.

We're getting better at Knights of Valour and Photo Hunt. Woo... :)

Went out again with ZR and mum at one in the morning to engage in the Lunar New Year crowd at Serangoon Central. The G'Value store has been rebranded (It's now a Shop 'N Save outlet) and it now displays poultry in freezer-fridges.
