haha.

it's the long-awaited weekends.

hmm... today's kinda good, kinda bad... mostly a mix of in-between emotions. i always find myself at a loss for words to describe this kinda mental state. it's like you want to feel a certain way... but you just can't seem to find that particular spark... that special cataylst to drive the reaction to it's fulfillment. oh well.

i had delicious Prawn Noodles for breakfast. amazing. to finish a long hard night of doing shift work, slogging away preparing the morning briefs to the brass, and to finally... yes, FINALLY... be able to get my ass outta there... out, and on to my craving since the night before. Nothing beats that kinda feeling. Absolutely nothing.

so we, my watch i/c and myself... oh right, my officers joined us too... drove from work to Adam's Rd to have a go at the "famous" prawn noodles. haha... it was out of this world. huge succulent prawns, slices of pork and delicious beehoon and yellow noodles. but the main draw... the soup. normal run-of-the-mill kopitiam prawn noodles will never taste the same again. haha. the guy that recommended going there (yes, i'm quite the mountain tortoise when it comes to where to find the best local cuisine) told me that the most impressive time to be there is actually at night. why? it's cos that's the time that the stall sells crabs to go with the prawn noodles. so it's technically crab-prawn noodles. haha. i have to go see that for myself some day.

oh right.. the bad.. kinda spoiler news...
heard from my mum that one of my aunts living in the states is critically ill and might be going under the knife. i don't want to go into details because... well... i want to respect her privacy and all the patient-doctor confidentiality stuff. but she's going for the operation soon i suppose. if it's night time here.. it's soon to be dawn there.
looks like i'm gonna have to spend the night in prayer.

a prayer for protection... a prayer for hope.
