Last minute outings... with who else, but the Longan Gang. : )

Woke up this morning feeling really wormy and had a stupid headache. Slept at 11.30pm and woke up at about 10am. Must be too much sleep... and hence the stupid headache. Got online and chatted with Miss What and Ah Zai on MSN, where we suddenly decided to go to Ah Zai's client's flat that he designed at AMK to have a look see! It was a really sudden decision to meet up at AMK at 1.30pm (it was 12.30pm when we were having the conversation) and i had to resort to showering and changing and chatting with them at the same time! Miss What wanted to go swimming later on at SP's building as well and although Ah Zai wanted to swim as well, he couldnt because he didnt have his trunks with him. As for me, i think i need to get a new swimming costume. Bunny! Let's go and get some together!

So we met up at AMK MRT station, where i still had a really bad headache and was feeling slightly depressed over nothing. Was so deep in thought that i nearly missed my stop and was kinda hungry too. When we met up, Ah Zai said that his client might be at the place and Miss What and I were a little apprehensive about going, but luckily, his client left before we got there. Heh.

The client's house was more or less, 75% completed?? The floor tiles were really expensive though, one 600x600mm tile for $24!! Woah! And it was just homogenous tiles and not marble... but the effect is there and the client paid for it. So, oh well. Ah Zai tried to bluff Miss What and I about the material of the sliding doors, saying that it was 40mm thk. solid MDF board lor!! Both of us were staring at him increduously and he burst out laughing when he saw our faces....

After AMK, we took a train down to Somerset, where Miss What wanted to use the SP's pool... so Ah Zai and i were left to entertain ourselves for the next half and hour so we walked around and admired the view from the..... 19th floor?? I cant remember also. Anyway, the scenery was nice and i was wondering how it would look like at night........ Would be really beautiful... Anyway, here is how town looks like from the 19th storey (i think!) of SP builing......

i think the archi design of SP building is quite nice actually. Just need to clean up the tiles and all... mosiac was everywhere!!! I like!!!!

That cloud in the sky like... very attention seeking lor! Hahahaa! Come to think of it, it looks like a whale....... Hmmmm.....

OMG!!! Where can u find such furniture??! Super retro lor!

After Miss What was done swimming up and down the pool, we had to wait for her downstairs while she showered and changed. The water from the water cooler tasted really bad, like some longkang water actually but i still filled up my water bottle with it. Was still having a bad headache despite swallowing some panadol in the morning. So i tried to drink more water........... even if it tastes like longkang water..........

Had a late lunch/tea at Killiney Kopitiam where i had my favourite drink and some kaya toast. We kept squabbling about who ate up their "quota" of bread already and who should take the last piece. Walked down to Kino at Taka after that and Ah Zai left to meet his best friend Matti at Plaza..... Miss What and I looked through some design books and showed each other whatever nice ideas or inspiration looking places there were. Was tempted to get a "Hip Hotel - Oriental" (I think! Gosh, my memory is so bad.) but didnt lar. Oh, Miss What was super amused by this book "Making out in Chinese" and she kept laughing and showing me "interesting" words to learn. I was super distracted because i was on the phone with Gaz and she still insisted on showing me some words despite me saying i was not interested because i could not concentrate on my phone call!

After standing around for half an hour, both of us felt very tired and our legs were going to break any moment, so we went down to Mos for a drink and Ah Tong called to say that he couldnt make it for their 7.30pm "March of the Penguins" movie! Told her to cancel the booking and to watch on a weekday with the rest of us (cheaper le) and luckily she managed to cancel it. I love Cineleisure! (minus the super terrible crowd)

Went down to Newton for dinner and initially, i didnt want to eat anything because i promised to eat with Gaz and Mr Sarcastic at Maxwell but i could not resist the temptation of BBQ Stingray!!!! Wahahahahaa.... Miss What had her carrot cake for dinner and i almost had the whole stingray to myself can. But it was so nice..... Wwwooo.... She decided to head down to Ah Tong's house after dinner while i waited at Newton MRT for the 2 to come down from their office.... So i started taking photos..........


Saw this cute shy cat!

Hee!

I got bored while waiting for Gaz and Mr Sarcastic to arrive in Bus 54, so i started taking photos of the scenery......

And the roads too.........

I dunno why the sky looks quite scary here!

Finally! In Bus 54 with the 2 of them....... they looked super stressed so i decided to take photos of them! Hee!

Gaz smiling happily for me!

Me looking like a hamster....... or chinchilla, whichever anyone wants to call me...

Looking chinchilla-ish...

Once again! Another backfire attempt to take a photo together!

Now, i just look territorial again by taking up so much space in the photo, while the other 2 at the back look so extra lor..... Hahahaa......

Mr Sarcastic looked really happy in the photos..... i think he was super stressed from work because he was very happily posing for the photos and he even wanted to take some more after i kept my camera! He said, "Har?? Why you stop taking? Quite fun le!"

So we tried another group shot....... Yes, the trip was quite long, hence the reason why we could take so many photos... Hahahaa........

Finally ended up at Maxwell market (again!) and Ah Zai appeared after taking almost an hour to get there from Orchard. We all thought he was trying to train up his stamina by walking there actually...

Dunno who took this Ah Long style photo of me.......

Trying to stylise it to make it look like some 1950s Ah Long pose.. then i realised that the white earphones were sooooo wrong. Where got iPod then?!

Stressed out Mr Sarcastic......

Once again, i dunno who took this photo of me, close up and all. Can see the ugly pimple like stuff on my forehead. dunno how to get rid of them le....... so irritating!

I didnt take this photo, n i guess that......... these are Ah Zai's hands??? I think so lar.
