2nd December 2005 Friday
I fell down once again...

This post is a little delayed because i decided to blog about the Saturday events first as they were still fresh in my memory.... But what happened on Friday was too good to forget as well... Started out by meeting Bunny in the gym at 11am for Cute Butt instructor's class. Ever since i joined that you-know-which-company, i have not regularly been going to the gym as how i used to. CBI was supper crappy as usual, but Bunny feels that his crappiness has gone on to a whole new level. For some reason, when i go for a 11am class on a Friday, i do not expect to see many people turning up for the class. I was wrong man!! The class could easily be as crowded as the usual peak hour 7pm classes!! I was wondering where all these people came from and dont they need to go to work or something?? Apparently, there are many many tai tais in Singapore and maybe lots of students go to my gym as well. Bunny commented that it might be because all these people could be teachers (like herself) as well. Hmmmm......

Anyway, we had a nice lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian because i was craving BIIIIIGGGG time for the xiao long bao for some strange reason. I felt that i just had to have it that day... and also for some strange reason, both of us could not finish the liao (meat) in our noodles!! And to think that before ordering our food, we were thinking of ordering more dishes because we were famished!! Terrible the 2 of us... so greedy...

So both of us were walking around Taka, trying hard to shop for a birthday pressie for Chinki (while Bunny also secretly confessed to me that she didnt know what to get for me as well, haha!!) and we walked into this particular shop (shall not mention the name of the shop because i know Miss Chinki reads this) and both Bunny and I were extremely shocked at the price of the item that Bunny initially thought of getting for Chinki!! It costs a wonderful $xxx or something like that...... But just before we left that section, i proudly told Bunny,

"Actually for your information, i also want that for my present all along. Wahahhahaha!!!"

Bunny tried to tell me that she could get the much smaller version for me but i said, that i only insist on the $xxx one. She mumbled that she had to call all my friends like Ah Zai and Susie hoe to share the gift... and still way out of her budget! Hahahaa! So Chinki, we are not getting the $xxx gift for you, dun worry. :P

I met Ah Meow for a movie at Great World later where i received a nasty sms from my ex-boss. I totally do not regret leaving that place and i just hope that she gets retribution. Wah.... so strong words. Hahaa... tummy was not feeling too well that day for some reason, and when both of us went to the food court, Ah Meow said that my face looked very pale!! So had to eat very soupy stuff..... Was feeling so disgusted with the sms-s that i could not concentrate on the movie at the beginning!! But managed to concentrate because Aeon-Flux is pretty cool... Why her body so nice!! Boohoo...

Anyway, after the movie, Ah Zai messgaed me to tell me that his bro-in-law's band would be playing in a pub at Little India... managed to take a bus there and was so scared of getting lost in Little India.. I found the road (Dunlop Road) but i could not find the shophouse unit!! I was standing outside 102 for a long time before i decided to call Ah Zai and i screamed, "I can't find 101!!! Im outside 102 now... where in the world is 101??? Beside 102 is an empty plot of grass lor!"

"But the address is correct what! Anyway, the band just finished playing their last song! I'm coming down now....."

....................

Wah lau, come all the way there and the band finished playing?!!! Backfire once again. Then..... it started to drizzle!! So we had to take shelter in Tekka Mall first.... but.... i saw this super adorable cat!!! It looks just like Batman!!!!

Heeheeheeheeee..... so adorable right. He gladly posed for me as well....

It started to drizzle quite heavily from the time i took a photo of the Batman cat... so we took shelter in Teka Mall (and conveniently used the toilets as well). The food court there seems to be the happening hang out for old ah peks to drink beer and sing song. High class one... upgraded from those outdoor kopitiams. Anyway, we didnt know where to go and it was raining, so we decided to just stand at the bus stop and see where which convenient bus comes and takes us to. I think we hopped onto bus 851 and we thought of going to Bugis area to hang out, but somehow or other, we changed plans and ended up at Chinatown. Where i gladly said i was hungry and we went to Maxwell to eat.

I had some rojak while Ah Zai feasted on some dessert where he said the uncle could kill him with diabetes with the amount of syrup water in his dessert... anyway it was still drizzling a little and Ah Zai still insisted on walking in the rain for some reason, despite my protests...... So here comes the embarrasing part. We were at this corner shophouse and i took one step forward onto the extremely slight ramp in front of me and................... i slipped.

And I landed on........ both my knees. I was falling midway onto my knees when Ah Zai realised that i am doing my usual falls again and grabbed onto my arms. But too late. I still fell. And in that 1 second after i landed on my knees, my lime green sling bag did this really really slow somersault in the air (im serious!!) and i watched it land gracefully in front of my 2 knees with a soft "plop". The sight of my bag somersaulting in slow motion was too hilarious for me and i burst out laughing like a mad woman........... And i couldnt stop screaming at Ah Zai that he is the literal cause of my "downfall". It seems that accidents like these only happen to me when i meet him alone......... Some curse he must have put on me! :P

Despite my drama fall, we continued walking through the streets of Chinatown, from Scarlett Hotel, to Club Street, then on to Boat Quay and finally Clarke Quay!! I know i slipped and nearly fell again outside Planet Fitness at Far East Square. I really think i am cursed. Once we reached Clarke Quay, i was tired and we decided to try our luck at Novotel Hotel lobby (its newly revamped from the old Liang Court Hotel). It was close to 1230am if i am not wrong and the counter staff informed us that the bars and cafes were closed. However, we still happily planted ourselves onto the rather comfy sofa sets at one corner and chatted about everything under the sun..... We also had to comment on everything in the hotel lobby and i saw this girl (which i am pretty convinced is someone who provides special services) who was walking through the lobby like she got........... ****ed too hard... because she was walking in a certain way and as if her legs were feeling too weak!! Even Ah Zai commented that although he did not see her walking, he could hear from the way her high heels clicked on the marble floor and he got what i meant....

As the morning went on, we got hungry and thirsty so we headed down to Macs at Liang Court where Ah Zai had some MacSpicy burger and i stole his fries. For some reason, we could not stop talking that night and we were happily chatting about the Transformers movie!!!! I am trying to get that dvd from Lady so that we can have another dvd outing!! Heh heh heh.... so exciting...

Dunno who arranged this cup formation lor........

Dead fish again!!

Dead fish took this shot and he was really proud of it for some reason. "Very artistic right?? I know i know."

Oh ya, i also forgot to mention that Susie had to do something quite bimbotic that night at his office. The 3 of us (Don, Susie and me) were sitting on the daybed in the front porch of their office admiring practically at nothing in front of us while Don was telling us about this guy he knew in his NS days. Don said he never really saw this guy eating and he is super thin. So Susie commented,

"Maybe he jiak hong one..... eat air......." and proceeds on to open and close his mouth like some gasping goldfish left out on the table without water. It is no wonder that i vommited later that night. Think it must have been a delayed reaction in my body..............
