was once a cute chubby boy back in his secondary school days. Until the day he was brought into army. His BMTC in Ninja Company (2006) and 35SCE Survey Platoon (2006-2007) brought
about a transformation (and a little quirkiness) in him. He obtained superhuman powers and is now called, the Super Pioneer! By day, he is a lazy bum who slacks around at home,
blogging and doing useless things. By night, he turns into Super Pioneer, doing the relentless works that is given to him. After the defeat of his Arch Nemesis, The Brain,
Super Pioneer Daron is moving on with his life and onto the next villian, the NUS Monster.

Monday night at Serene Centre
"Write your good things on stone. Write your bad things on sand."
~Zoe saying something random
the place where eating ice-cream is no longer sinful...
Zoe and I decided to meet up tonight with the intention of watching movie (No Reservation) at first, only ended up having dinner instead as reviews from my friends indicate that the show wasn't really good. There were a few places in mind, but I wanted to go to the Adam Rd region, as it had been a while since my last visit, and I know of someone who is an ice-cream fan.
It was a good thing I drove, cause the distance between Bedok and Adam Rd can be quite far, and it was already 7.30pm by the time we reach there. Just when I was about to turn into the carpark of Adam Rd Food Centre, something wasn't right about the place. It was too empty for comfort. I mean, Prawn Mee and Nasi Lemak are supposed to be the crowd-magnets to this place, but there were hardly any cars in the area. Then, to my horror and my miscalculated suay-ness, Adam Road Hawker Centre was closed for spring cleaning just on the day itself. (Really.. talk about being suay)
We ended eating at a French Cafe at Serene Centre in the end.
Ahh.. Serene Centre.. How it brings back memories of the days when I was in SA 1st 3 months, or even earlier when the scouts would eat at its MacDonald after St. Margaret's campfire event. But if there is anything that is of significances in Serene Centre, it would be the ice-cream shop, Island Creamery. I remembered my 1st experience when Zhihong and Felicia brought me to the shop. It was from that day on that this shop will be one of my favourite hot spots.
When ordering the French dinner, the manager of the cafe, a French, came out to greet me. Immediately, he gave me a violent reaction by slamming his hand on the counter. I was more shocked than amused when he started yapping about the English.(Coincidentally i was wearing an England Rugby Polo) I guess the French did, do and will hate the English and their fans, regardless of where you come from.
After that, we moved over to Island Creamery. Today's ice-cream selection was pretty good. I selected the Blackforest and Very Berry while Zoe chose Tiger Sorbet(been waiting for this for a long time) and Teh Tarik. It was amazing how 2 ice-cream fanatics can chomp down 4 scoops in 15 mins and go for another 2 more (we chose Pulat Hitam and Strawberry Sorbet), but the richness of the ice-cream was simply irresistible. It was then when we talked over ice-cream.
We ended slightly early cause Zoe had to be back home. Overall, the outing was pretty good.. It was just a pity Adam Rd Hawker Centre was not available. Perhaps the next time round, i'll invite another gal friend down for dinner.
