Delving with Del

Leeion had to work today and so, lunch was off. =(

Met up with Del (yes, the one who wrote the poem) for dinner at 7.30pm. Del intrigues me all the time. He's intelligent, humble, accomodating, considerate, sincere.... the list goes on. He's the best confidant I've known for the last nine years. Suffice to say, his company is much appreciated. However, work has kept us apart and we're not able to meet up as frequently as before.

Time spent with Del is always an adventure as he likes to explore and indulge in non-conventional activities or scour obscure places. Dinner was at an Indian restaurant tucked away in a quiet street. Our tastebuds were in for a treat with the spread of rich butter naan, crispy chapati, delectable tandoori chicken & titillating fish curry. Del kept on piling naan on my plate, resulting in a pie chart of different naans.

After that, we journeyed to a neighbouring pub which comprised a majority of Caucasians. The live band was fantastic and the mood was right. Del drank a pint of beer and we shared a bottle of white wine. As the bench was too low, Del attempted to elevate the digital camera by placing his handphone across the mouth of his glass. This acted as a platform for the digital camera to be propped on. Joking about the possibility of his phone drowning in his glass of beer, we took a few pictures. Alas! The joke turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy! He knocked his phone right into his glass and that damaged his SIM card. He was tickled pink although I felt partly responsible for that. =(

Exhausted by 1am, we went home. Del is like the brother I never had. I'm looking forward to meet up with Del again!
