Week ??? of 2007
Last week was simply awesome! Lovely, lovely, lovely. Here's a breakdown for those of you who care and will read beyond this point. (namely Kelvin, Alvyn, Wei Kee, Sarah, Mich, possibly Jint)
Monday
It seemed as if the week would never end. Was a real slow start. Nonetheless a sense of anticipation and excitement at the events to come during the week!
Tuesday
Refer above.
Wednesday
Went to Chinatown for dinner with Sarah, Ryan, Brian, and Candice. Well, actually we were supposed to go to Chinatown, but in the end we ended up at Maxwell Road. Food there's not that bad, well, at least the hokkien mee. Before we reached Maxwell, we were actually supposed to make this u turn, but we missed it, and ended up making a 20 minute de tour. Like we passed this parking lot twice, went pass Chinatown Point (is that what it's called?) like a freaking 3 times and so on so forth, until we got on our way. Haha Brian's driving is hilarious and Ryan never fails to amuse us. It was also the day when i found out that deep down inside Sarah, is a full-fledged Ah Lian waiting to come out! haha even Ryan said that if Sarah had stayed in Singapore, she would have been an Ah Lian. Then Candice and Sarah started doing weird ass ah lian inpersonations at the back of the car. Thank God i wasn't sitting in the middle. haha. Sarah, Ryan and Brian went to Zouk thereafter, and Candice and I went home. It was such a good time, had not seen the 4 of them in a long while.
Thursday
Mel's birthday!!! Went to Brewerkz for the party! A surprise party!! Ok here's the background. Her boyfriend, Ben, and her have the same birthday, which is the 8th of June. So yea Mel went to plan this whole surprise birthday party for Ben by inviting his secondary school classmates, while at the same time also inviting her friends to celebrate her birthday (ok am i making sense?!?). So there was like a whole big group of us there at Brewerkz..i think around 25? Yeah..
So anyway, at 7pm, Alvin Liong and I (along with all of Mel's friends and Ben's friends) were at Brewerkz waiting for Mel and Ben to arrive. She was supposed to lead him into the place and we'd all shout 'surprise!!', or something like that.
Well at 7.40pm, Mel called and said that she and Ben were walking towards the place already. So she told me to come out to lead the 2 of them in. The conversation outside brewerkz went like this :
Me: Hey Ben! Hey Mel! Happy Birthday!!
The 2 of them: Thanks!
Me: oh hey, i left the present inside, you guys wanna follow me in to get it?
Ben: Yea sure. Oh so do you and your platoon friends meet very often?
Me: (Taking 0.0002432 seconds to comprehend) Oh no not really, they don't get to book out often, so this is actually a pretty rare oppotunity.
Ben: Ah..I see. Well, have you tried the burgers here?!
*Thereafter we launched into a conversation about the size of the burgers*
This was the response (the surprise!!) from Ben's friends when he finally saw them there.
Ben's friends : uh uh hey hi...wassup man...sur uh uh
hilarious.
Saw a different side of Mel that night. I wish Ben and her the best. An awesome couple.
Friday (are you guys still here?!)
Went for a crab dinner with some of the people in the office. Dinesh couldn't make it so that sucked quite a bit. I only found the chilli crab nice, the rest were alright, i guess, but nothing spectacular. Ok finish.
Saturday
Went to Cafe Del Mar with Sarah, Ryan, Brian and Cheryl. Friggin awesome day. Took the new monorail for the first time. It was actually quite funny how it went. Sarah, Ryan and Brian went ahead first to book seats at the cafe, while i waited for Cheryl to come. So anyway the 2 of us were inside the monorail, and you know how the old monorail had SO MANY stops?! yeah so when Sarah told me to get off at the last stop, i had the impression that it would take a while. So there came a time when the monorail stopped at this particular place, and i was like, "hmm this still seems quite far, maybe the monorail will make a turn." So i told Cheryl, "hey i think we should wait and get off at the next stop". and in the next few seconds, i realised that directly in front of the train was the sea. hmm. and unless the tracks extended over the ocean. hmm. so i was like, "Shit, Cheryl i think we get off here..".
After Cheryl confirmed with some random guy if that was the stop, she told me
"see that's the problem with you guys, you never ask for directions!"
yeah this is the same girl that scolded me before cuz i spelt wierd for weird. yeah..
anyways, once we got there, i realised that the place was really, really beautiful. Quite a refreshing comfort on the eyes. so while the 2 girls went to tan, the 3 guys went to the bar. and for the first time in my life, i drank shots. ok not that many, just 2. Peer pressure haha. well anyway, it was 'southern comfort' and '151' and for the latter, according to Sarah, it's named as such because it's like 1.51% non-alchocol haha! Even when Ryan ordered 151 for the waiter dude, he was looked at the scorching sun, and remarked, "this early in the day?!?!" haha
AND WE MET UTT!!!
Ryan and Brian bought us there to where Utt was, and Ryan was like "oh hey, this is Shane". and then Utt extended his hand, and said "Hi, I'm Utt."
and i was gushing like a schoolgirl, "Hi, Shane."
OoOOo he's so charming and friendly. But yeah, he looks bigger on screen.
I have pictures, but i guess it'd be kinda crossing boudaries if i put them here, so yeah.
It was so awesome to spend the entire day with them, especially since ALL OF THEM ARE LEAVING SOON!!
sigh.
Sunday
Bought the Canon Powershot TX-1. An investment for the 08 Euro Trip. It's friggin cool.
Alright, i thnk this is like the longest entry i've penned down in months.
Ciao Peeps.
