~ 10:26 AM ~
Right now, i'm blogging before leaving the house to meet up with the rest.. This is a once in a blue moon event as jenna happens to be the organiser, thus i offer my sincere apology for standing anybody else up.
Prior to this event, i found two things rather amusing..
First of all, instead of everyone else asking the organiser of the details of the event, all ends up asking me.
Secondly, the organiser herself mixes up the time and ends up asking me the details as well. -.-
So, our dear jenna calls me early in the morning, sounding so full of energy.. only to my horror did she finally claimed that she thought the meeting time was two instead of twelve.. and that she had to go clean up her church for christmas -.-
and so, she who is feeling guilty sends a message that seemed to carry no tinge of guilt in it..
"Hihi pple! Today watching movie at vivocity.. Pls b at dhoby ghaut statn at 12pm.. Lunch 1st wherever cheap n gd coz vivo fd court quite ex de.. Pls bring enuf$. Urs truly offers her sincere apology as she can only b thre by 2pm to watch movie wif ual.. Wheee " (straight from the text without editing.)
It's quite sad really that not all can turn up, and by the minute, it seems like some are backing out at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances . Like joan who says " Eh.. i cfm tmr canoot go liao, got fever my mother wann me go see doc instead. paiseh.. help me apologize to jenna oso.. 10q" at 11.52pm (at least one person rmbed jenna is the organiser) and fiona who backed out on meigui last night who saw her message and fell asleep -.- how nice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, those who could make it came. Yong yuan, yong kiat, soonkiat, spiky, wilson, ruth, meigui and i. Jenna the organiser only came later after cleaning up her church -.- The place was huge, and throngs of people from all walks of life liven up the place. I have a phobia for crowded places ever since being pickpocketed at orchard sometime ago during the christmas season. The christmas party was going wild and stupid me din't realise some idiot had rummaged through my bag 0.0 ..
It was wierd at first, without Mr. FOC as the so-called-bridge, meigui claimed that the girls probably wouldn't be talking to the boys. So we were sort of feeling awkward while waiting for spiky, who was late as usual, as the guys continued with their own conversation and the girls their own.
Probably it's due to the fact that we haven't met up for some time and things aren't going as smoothly as expected. It all needs someone to make the first move. Soon after spiky arrived, we made our way to vivocity's thai express for lunch. Bridge manics like us never fail to spend our time playing bridge whenever a chance arise. Attaining the level of queen gambling 2, a deck of cards would be found on me. I must be getting back the old habit which i kicked since sec 3.
There wasn't much to do except window shopping as the various entertainment available was really atrociously expensive. The usual price of pool was $7 per hr yet it was $10 per hr at vivo.
As jenna claims, the entertainment available readily at vivo is watching kids jumping around in the rooftop swimming pool or you can call it pond (by ruth). People flock to this pool due to limited space available in Sentosa. (by someone-i-forgot-who) And all the experience i got at the arcade was watching a girl shake her butt like there was no tomorrow on the parapara machine. I shouldn't comment too much since i aren't a pro, lets just leave it at that and judge it for yourself if you are interested in my videoclip of her.
We visited a pet shop, daiso, ruth's haven (a mega book store) , a chocolate shop and toy'r us before it was time to head for the theatre. The pet shop was really interesting and unique as we found junhe (doughnut) and many different species of dogs and other animals. The rest were getting so fascinated looking at the pets and spiky was all the time thinking of FiFi and of the clothes that he could buy for her.
p.s. ruth has 2 havens
1. book store
2. drink store
The book store was really fabulous where we saw books of bridge for idiots. just nice for spiky and the drinking book for ruth. The rest of the guys got caught up looking at badminton books and comics. The attractive thing of this book store is that the book shelves are all slanted which makes the shop seems like it is toppling down. There are really funny looking snapshots that we took of spiky and yongkiat the gays. IF the chance arise, i may post it right here. Keep updated for more amusing shots of the biggest gays right here in ABT..
The movie was ok.. we watched "THe Holiday" by the way.. and it's about two women having a house exchange. And there was all that kissing scenes after the women met new guys in their unfamiliar land, and each time they kissed, i felt like going to the toilet more -.- It's really terrible watching on those cheesy scenes with a full bladder, seriously. It was really a show that was unexpected and it was far from what the thriller showed as claimed by jenna. She thought it was amusing for the guys to agree to watching that show as she thought it was gay -.- Apparently yongkiat and wilson were gaying ard behind us (the girls) throughout the whole movie. Nevertheless, it was a great day.
