our localised celebration of oktoberfest at kr50... for the poor post exchange guys, i'm sure this was but a mere shadow of the past, but well, beggers can't be chosers, especially pre-exam beggers.
// high, literally // a rather freaky art installation in the yong siew toh conservatory lobby // having some fun as the guys cowered by the sides // hello can you be my friend? // min // pet //
and then on halloween night, there was beer, wine, mirth and merriment again at the pub quiz. good stuff, especially since the booze is much sweeter when it's won and earned. clubbing with vampires, pharoahs, walking bedsheets, pale faced people with bad makeup made for an exciting night. the photos will come soon, but for now... i have to study for an exam in 5 days! fug.
// lonnngggg ago in september, we went for mortini hour // cutesy pop tart aka tart // nice photo of my girls // the intricate gold carving on the wall that probably contains some good confucian values that the more erudite might understand // Yes i know even october is over already, hrmph, i'm late so that you can reminisce ok! //
// Oomphatico to celebrate the terrible twins' birthdays. at least this was just a month ago // ying's clammy pasta thing // all in a row // they're paint splotches, they're flying swallows, no... they're black goldfishes (and a set of eyes behind i think) // my very substantial row of sandwiches // the birthday girls who proclaimed that they felt old the moment they woke up. pfft // yummers =) // victorian styled restaurant //
friday evening was the closest thing to oktoberfest i'll have this year. there was free flow beer all night long at kr50 and we drank the house rather dry. either the guys all have expanded livers after their 1 year exchange sojourn, or the beers weren't strong enough, but everyone was still rather sober despite more than 5 cups on average (tris singlehandedly lowering the figures with his amazing 2 beer capacity) so there were no rowdy drinking games. the guys (*ahemBoazahem*) were super freaked out by an art installation with 8 little white figures standing in formation and huddled at the sides whilst the girls posed and took photos. i have quite alot of photos (from that night and since the time the girls went to mortons) waiting to be liberated from my camera, but inertia rules and its 3.30am bedtime now. will do the necessary soon. till then, at least this blog is revived somewhat.
again, i bid thee adieu for another month...
packing has been a mad rush; i've done up the photos for the parents, settled more pro bono work, not revised my spanish, had nice outings with my dear friends and left my body clock conveniently set in europe time by sleeping at 4am and waking up at 11. my bag of chargers and thumbdrives decided to give me a scare just now by disappearing, causing me to flip the entire house upside down (even the kitchen sink cupboard) to no avail, only to manifest itself in my original backpack in the end. wtf. wwwwhich brings to mind the really wise observation that the item u're looking for is always in the last place you think of; simply because after you've found it you don't have to search in another place. i haven't prepared a list of things to see and do in the countries i'm going to be visiting, hopefully lonelyplanet is as bible-riffic as reputed.
// drinks in indochine // with siew men ping ying // the greek character from hades with a dog adrienne and me // shooo cute. it must have been a very sweet kahlua milkshake //
COCKROACH!! or at least, that was what adrienne heard me say in her moments of panic upon first chancing upon this suspicious item. that woman screamed like... like... damn loud out of nowhere and every head in the bar turned to look in our direction, which was very convenient for her cos she was currently burying her head in my shoulder, leaving my reddening face to face the world. if i didn't feel so maluated it would have been very funny because when i first tried to dig around in her cup and saw the thing clearly, i definitely said...
"It's NOT a cockroach la!!" but py insists that i said "mumble mumble cockroach". grrrr fine, if it means being able to save myself from more embarrassing situations such as these, i will happily remind myself to articulate better next time.
ok i'm running late as usual and i haven't printed out my eticket. bye for now and have a great time interning/ slacking/ having fun.
// yeah, 1 of many // the sad puppy and pufferfish // one of the many ladies boxing matches that the guys enjoyed alot for some reason // cloud eatin' //
the club was quite packed for the launch tonight and we saw many many good looking people; about 50% of the guys were quite hot; but as the night wore on, we got the vibe that about 60% was limp wristed (the authentic kind, not the tris standard). women of sg shout f*ck together. anyway it was q a dry party of sorts cos the only entertainment was a v annoying taya rogers and endless ladies' boxing matches. oh but when a topless guy paraded around holding those "round 1, round 2" plaque cards, there were excited hoots all around. male voices. again, go figure. interesting night of people spotting, bitching and spying at *hemhems* glowing under UV lights. thanks so much to ping for coming along.
