Changi Beach
Mood: Slow and Easy
Mr DJ asked me out to Changi today to hang loose. He needs a break and so do I after a hectic week. We chose Changi cos its nearest.. heh. I packed a lunch of egg and potato sandwich, Oreos and 2 bottles of water [the last 2 were bought at the supermarket]. The place was super windy and close to the lapping clear green waves and all I can think of is Mauritius. Serene.
So we pitched the tent, tied the hammock, lay the groundsheet and just chilled. I love these moments where I read my book lying on my stomach with the wind blowing through my hair. Mr DJ smoked his rolled cigarette in his hammock, swinging and humming one of his songs. I nearly slept a few times with my book stuck at page 81. The sun hiding behind the casuarina trees did wonders for the snooze on a sunny day. I felt so refreshed even without a swim in the surf..
Mr DJ took some pics with his unfriendly digi camera and I tried my hand at it but I prefer my Nikon D70 anytime. I miss photo taking outings.. [padahal baru jek pergi 2 hari lepas..]
So after the chill out, we headed to Changi Village for dinner and I suggested a new place called Kebab Station. I thought it would sell stuff I'd find at Al Majlis but I was wrong. Firstly, they didn't sell Karkadeh [Hibiscus Tea], the Hummus had Chilli sauce in it [wtf? thats jus wrong!], the mint sauce used dried mint so it wasn't authentic, they drizzle way too much chilli sauce over everything [who does that on rice and lamb kebabs?] and lastly, the owner served us some Baklava on the house cos I think we looked like serious food lovers, just to have a taste of it. Bad idea... the Baklava was not crispy, too oily and the pistacios were already stale. The only thing that reached my expectation was the cool iced tea and the Tabasco Sauce.. My first there will be my last too.
Thanks Mr DJ for the day. Lotsa minty fun. Al Majlis next for some real Baklava ok?
