hurhur.. interesting~ i feel..

Met an interesting tourist recently while having dinner, I think he is from the island called 'Réunion'.. I got so curious when he said he is from a french island near Madagascar! (what will you think of? when you hear Madagascar? *i like to move it move it~ i like to move it move it~~ i like to..... MOVE IT!) lol! =x

& yeap.. we were talking throughout the whole dinner as their table was just less than 1cm away from mine.. heh!

& OH! He said something funny: "Clarke Quay/Boat Quay are places for tourists, I don't like to go to tourists places."

but mm.. he is a tourist too! so funny lah! He sounded like he has been staying in Singapore for a long time, BUT he is here for only a few days.. hah!~
