dinner and a movie

We were invited by Danny Ng and his wife to his place for dinner. He is a coworker of Lindsay's and his wife is a school administrator in Singapore. We took the MRT straight from work to his HDB apartment (Housing Development Board = government subsidized housing). The apartment was very nice, and the dinner was great. I'm very poor at remember the names of the dishes; but there was a couple fish dishes, coconut fried rice, fried chicken wings, an anchovies and nuts dish, great chili sauce, a fish cake I believe. It was all perfect. We sat and talked and ate for a while then watched the movie Snatch. Afterward we chatted then departed at around 11.

It was very enjoyable being able to go to a local Singaporeans place and have dinner and hang out. Usually we just make it back to the hostel, I go for a run, then we eat dinner, then we go to bed. Tonight is going to be an interesting one, tomorrow is going to suck. We will be getting steamboat for dinner (kind of like fondue where you cook the food at your table), then we get some drinks, then we watch the WC game at 2:30 a.m. This is all organized by Lindsay's mentor Daniel who is Austrian and loves soccer; and, um, has some wild stories from his travels throughout asia. Tonight will be interesting.
