just got to know the stories behind several people's lives. there's one particular girl whom many are not exceptionally fond of, for fear that she'll hurt the one who loves her. hearing that story, i can't help but reflect on myself and my life thus far. i'm no saint and i've never claimed to be one. but it's just so easy to sit back and be all self-righteousness, passing cruel judgement on others. for the mistakes i've made and the hurt i'd caused, i hope i'd be given a 2nd chance to make it up to those affected. everyone yearns for a chance to make amends, to make things right. and so i hope that she cherishes this chance she has to prove to everyone that she's true to her word.
last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...
