relaxing night out
Thursday looks set to be one of those days that I take time off to relax and just chill with my friends. :)After lecture, my friend and I went over to serene centre and waited for another friend to arrive before having dinner. While waiting, we took a leisure walk around the white building next to serene centre and explored the oft neglected place. We discovered an italian restaurant (da paolo) stashed away secretly at the end of a path made of wooden planks flanked with rows of green bamboo. It was so deliciously quiet and secluded that we almost reconsidered eating there! The decor both inside and out was very beautiful... On the outside there was a panel of thin slabs of stone stacked on top of one another surrounded by greenery and fans above. The furniture inside mostly consisted of thick darkish wood with mirrors and wine lining the bar. It was simply out of this world, and the fact that it was hidden in one corner just made it all the more special and cosy.
My friend eventually came and we had dinner at the quaint french place at serene centre, the one that took over the old place of island creamery. It was a very good time just catching up, sharing our hopes and dreams and worries and fears that we all have in common I guess. I love nice, quiet chats like these. It makes me appreciate life a little more to know that such precious moments exist even when faced with the very real practicalities of life. For those few hours, everything that affects you cease to exist and only the company of treasured friends is to be enjoyed.
