56 3.13- Sunday... Makan Sutra Time! (1/2)

Sunday, 14th May 1995

10:30 am

It's a Sunday so I decided to lie in bed after the alarm had long gone. Futsal is rather a strenuous sport because not only you need to use your legs to make bursts sprints, but also your arms and basically speaking your whole freaking body. Omagai...! I wish I shouldn't have stayed up a little last night and have to be awake to shut off the darn alarm at 7 am.

Akira had sent me an SMS earlier that she would be meeting at Ozone Station today at 5 pm as she normally visits her nearest relative during the weekends. ”Well, 5 pm is still a long way to go,” I thought as I stretched lazily on the bed. I wonder if the landlord serves instant ramen or else I would have to find my other sources of food elsewhere.

It was close to 1 pm before I decided to take a short cold shower and hunt for some food as my stomach rumbles as a show for compelling of food... Major food! Hmm, back in my time I'd just pop into the nearest 7-11 for a short pick-me-up hot sandwich or burger, maybe I'd just do that today.

There's a 7-11 convenience store nearby here right across the Kachigawa Kita Hospital so I walked gingerly there which was just a few minutes walk. Yesterday after the Championships, as promised to Akira, I had transferred the amount to her bank account through the neat interbanking facility from my mobile phone.

So after draining so many funds from my account, I still have quite a considerable amount to lasts me till month end since the remuneration package from the President of Sports Committee would take some days to be finalised and the amount be transferred to my account and others.

Akira mentioned that she would be going to some bookstores nearby such as BOOKOFF's as well GEO's to look for used paperback novels like she did in the past. Even though the books were preloved, but the condition of the books was very well-thumbed and the covers seemed immaculate unlike some used books sold at the roadside vendor.

Although the prices were hundreds of yen off from the likes of Kinokuniya's, there was sometimes a gem hidden among the piles of dirt so one has to patiently browse through thousand of paperbacks as they were not categorised under the particular section. Just books and books galore.

I grabbed a sandwich from the 7-11 store and walked down the street munching as I went. It's a Sunday so basically, a lot of families were out and about with their little families to go to parks, historical places and restaurant-hopping for those couples and singles like me... *ahem* that's what I am right now, single and unattached.

So now I was doing something like the latter, restaurant-hopping as I munched on the last part of my sandwich and smacked my lips and licked my fingers as I noticed an announcement banner of a Singaporean Restaurant that had recently opened within the Ozone District.

The banner was well weathered and the edges seemed to have frayed a bit. V-shaped cuts were made on the banner to let the wind through it if flapped much in the wind and to sort of reduce wind resistance and tear the banner in pieces in case of heavy winds.

”Hmm, I love anything Singaporean especially the food. There's so many flavours and fusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Thai and Western in their menus as stated in their announcement banner. Wouldn't hurt my pocket much to try some of the dishes there... Yummy... ”
