thursday i had lunch with huiyun after her job interview, which she ACED (but later rejected the job offer) at swensen's 1-for-1 lunch promotion. the crayfish pasta and the pizza were both pretty good! we giggled and talked for a long time, then posted the birthday package to dineth. he is going to have a heart attack reading all of huiyun's crap and horrendous grammar! hahaha. then we proceeded to watch The Hangover (okay quite funny we really laughed!), buying cheap sweet popcorn from NTUC because huiyun insisted. and there was a special promo from kose cosmetics! so we both splurged too.
and then that night it was drinks at no.5! with peis xueli weiming. FINALLY i get to go to that place after the last time we tried and it was too full. it is really quite fun eating tons of peanuts; unfortunately i made the unforgivable mistake of ordering a really nasty Dirty Vodka Martini which tasted like saltwater. HORRID. we played a version of beer pong with peanuts to make... wait for it... NUTINIS. hahaha. i am the undisputed champion because my nuts go into martini glasses Every Single Time.
friday i went to anusha's house with haowen, and we had this DELECTABLE indian feast conjured up by her mum. authentic, msg-free, and just so wholesome flavourful and delicious. there was spiced rice, quail eggs with sambal prawns, tandoori chicken, brinjal curry, pappadums, pineapple salad... SUCH A GOOD SPREAD. we ate until we wanted to burst! too bad i was so caught up in eating, i forgot to take any pictures. hahaha. we nua-ed the whole afternoon away watching Mean Girls (very funny actually) and skipping tv programmes.then night-time we all headed down to meet our ex fellow-interns for yet another feast at sushi tei, the food was sooooo goooood. dragon roll, avocado roll, nabeyaki udon, tempura squid and prawns.... AAAAAAH. it was very very funny too, they are just HILARIOUS people! i miss those days when we went into work late together, gossiped, took so many free copies of newspapers until the meeting room CLUTTERED UP (and the boss got so pissed he ordered a mass-cleaning), lunched, and took NAPS. hahaha! work-life will never be the same again after that experience.
saturday was a totally fun-filled day! after tuition in the morning i met the clique at esplanade and OUR ADVENTURE BEGAN. we took photos in our convo gowns for THE WHOLE DAY, with much thanks to our super-pro photographer gary! (who also joined in many shots with HIS convo gown) i think there were like 300 photos?? or more? i still haven't finished downloading all of them and sifting through. and the quality was stupendous because it was his wonderful DSLR camera. *beams*
gary was the perfect photographer, encouraging friendly trigger-happy and always smiling! he never once sounded fedup or tired, in fact i think we got tired of being models much earlier than he did. we took photos everywhere from esplanade rooftop, to downstairs, near the supreme court, fort canning... my personal favourite was fort canning because it was so laidback there, so green and lush, so soothing. i want to go for a picnic soon! and just chill out in the sunshine someday. (ok i know a little oxymoronic but yes CHILL and SUNSHINE can go together) and after our phototaking, we had dinner at manhattan fish market pigging out violently again, before going back to alley bar to order martinis. this time i was wise enough to order the lychee(: and it was goooood.
sunday i went to christin's church for the first time! it was nice, but the theme was national day and the service was a little... i don't know, i almost giggled when she said "let us pray for our political leaders". the thought of praying for leekuanyew just seems a little giggly to me hahaha. we had a nice chat and quick brunch at the toast box, then i spent the rest of national day at home, subdued and relaxing, and for once didn't even bother to catch the parade on tv. i guess there was just no mood or reason to.monday we had a class outing at weiming's! and the turn-out was pretty good! gwen jasmine yvonne peis ruijun yiyun anqi geraldine shihui weiming moses boyang andy joel. heehee ruijun and i were so glad moses drove (: there was TONS of wii-playing (boyang behaves like he is possessed), gossiping, eating, and just catching-up. we ordered zichar! and moses and i competed on cooking aglio olio in the kitchen. hahaha. it was funny cos it wasn't either of our kitchens, so at random moments we would freak out - HOW DO YOU TURN THE FIRE ON?! - WHERE IS THE PAN? - WATER IS BOILING OVER OMG! - EH WHERE ARE THE BOWLS? - EH WHERE IS THE WOODEN SPATULA FOR COOKING?! etc. but pasta turned out gooooood everyone liked it. and moses won! fair and square cos his pasta tasted better. my student has surpassed me.
tuesday i walked dodger the dog! and helped kenneth to make green-tea jellies with longan. ok they turned out... a little weird. dodger is SO CUTE he just pitter-patters everywhere but he is also quite gross, he shits and pees like nobody's business. next time i will bring a tennis ball to toss him! we also watched G.I. Joe which was pretty good actually, considering how bad the trailer looked to me. i think i enjoyed it more than transformers.
wednesday it was party-time again! this time we went clubbing at zouk: xueli peis weiming me, and shuxx joined us afterwards. FUNFUNFUN ((((: although music was less than desirable and for some time, we kept alternating to go toilets hence missing each other. but the music UPPed towards the end! until peis weiming me and shuxx cabbed home at 4am. this was probably one of the times i drank more: we had about one and a half jug of bourbon coke/vodka redbull each, and a jaegerbomb. yummms. but i didn't get drunk or too dizzingly high, unlike numerous freshies who kept turning up to puke in the toilet. some control PLEASE.
and finally thursday, peijun weiming and i went to play left4dead at a lan shop. my first time and it is seriously ADDICTIVE (: i think we played 4 hours in total? with dinner at aston's in between. that night i went to bed dreaming of shooting zombies lumbering everywhere, ah ah ah my craving for gaming is kicking back in!
