Of weekend dinners eaten out

It’s nearly 2am now as I type, and I just realised I lack the final topic’s feedback questions to practise upon, and FAC (Fucking Annoying Classmate) who was online very kindly volunteered to scan for me and immediately sent them over via MSN – without me even asking him to. Sometimes I wonder if I may have been mistaken in my evaluation of him. >_>

Three days ago on Saturday, I heard my brother’s friend playing Jay Chou’s 不能说的秘密 on the piano – at least, the first 20 seconds of the song. Thinking it sounded easy, an hour or so later when the house was completely deserted and I was waiting for Andy to pick me up for dinner, I tried playing on it.. and succeeded in hitting all the keys but the right ones. =.=” I couldn’t even determine what the first bloody key was, looks like this reaffirms my lack of musical inclination.

So inspired was I, I even contemplated taking a Play by Ear lesson for either guitar or piano there and then.. both of which I have at home. I’ve already invested considerably in other ‘arts’-related items – such as both my Mandarin and Japanese classes, and my recent photography equipment – that I’m not too sure if it would be wise to try learning something remotely close to music.

I knew I should have quitted Science classes ages ago by how things seem to go by my life these days wtf. If my interests in writing, languages, photography, and a little bit of music are not the proper indication, I don’t know what is.

Anyway Andy teman me eat my dinner at KFC Taipan, then we both went to Shawn’s house to lepak for a bit (despite the fact I have a paper I have yet to complete studying for) just in time as he was preparing simple pasta, sausages, chicken, and smoked salmon (too salty).


Said pasta Shawn cooked up.


At Shawn’s dining table.

Most of the following photos were not taken by me, but I’m putting them up anyway. Ding also dropped by at about 10pm after we gave up calling an unanswered phone and I left an SMS with him instead.


Shawn’s cover photo for Playgirl wtf.


Me, Ding, Shawn. Oh and we were drinking a cocktail of the Absolut Mandrin I brought + Sunquick + F&N Soda. Not bad.


Ding.


Shawn’s killer yawn.


Shawn’s erm questionable killer pose.


Watching television for a bit.

Then we resumed talking and drinking in the kitchen while reminiscing our primary school days – mostly about their stressful Chinese school life while I recalled my happy “ice & water” days wtf. All these up to about 3am when we finally left after watching a bit of the Super Trio show on Wah Lai Toi.

Sunday afternoon, had lunch again with Andy at this tong sui restaurant in Taipan as we both didn’t have lunch at home. Spotted Wern Sern and his mum there.. managed an awkward hello and goodbye, which reaffirmed what I told the guys the night before that it was funny how during Standard 3, Wern Sern, Cassandra, and I were so closely-knitted we nearly always hung out together during that entire year – but look at us now. >.>

At night, went to SS15’s 有记 bak kut teh shop (can’t remember the correct pinyin) for dinner with Andy, Kai Tzin, and Ding. Not before I had Andy fetched me to the clinic first to consult the doctor if that lymph node swelling in my neck was fine (it was a little painful) and not an abnormal cancerous one wtf. I can’t help but be a little paranoid when the discovery of my mum’s nose cancer started with a painless lump on her neck.


Sigh wtf looking at this pic at 2:20am now makes me feel awfully hungry.

Then Andy fetched Ding and I to Ding’s house, after which the two of us went to Shawn’s house to do our Japanese homework together.. but ended up lepaking mostly watching American Idol re-runs LOL.

At about 12am we decided to move to Andy’s place, further lepaking in the guest room with the Osim massage chair ensued, then we went out to McDonald’s Taipan as the rest were a little hungry.


Shawn’s Mega Mac.

Shawn and I were also being completely annoying to both Andy and Ding as we were repeating the 4-second Big Mac Chant, and I discovered how ridiculously easy it was to complete the task. =.=” Too bad I don’t have any Big Mac Chant coupons, nor were we at the designated 3pm-8pm time for the chant.


Andy drinking his coffee.


Me without thick-rimmed specs.


Andy snapped this of Ding trying to be macho which I thought was rather creative.

As usual, about 5 hours more till my exam starts and I’ve yet to finish studying and my head has just begin to ache.

you have that swelling of the lymph node problem too? i’ve had it so many times i’ve forgotten how freaked out i was the first time i got it lol. i dont know what it is, but i doubt it’s anything deadly (unlike the ones cows get, especially when they have TB). probably just stress…

ding look like he’s very leng chai is the last pic. hahaha maybe cause half his face cannot see.

Hhahahaha!

[not that you’re not leng chai lah ding]

sibs: god it freaks me out too. i’m trying to be less paranoid with the whole idea.. but from what i know, the painful swollen lymph nodes are less deadly than the painless ones. :/

jess: HAHAHA.

but yeah i kinda liked that photo.. thought he looked good in it.

Comment on latest post (couldn’t comment there, somehow your face keeps popping up): Erm you need to fix this picture popping up thingy. I can’t even leave a comment without the picture of you showing now. Would love to see the picture like before, it’s kinda annoying having to click on every single paragraph too. Cheers.

Christ, that was stupid of me. =.=” I used a href tags rather than img src – this didn’t happen the first time. For some reason I kept mixing them up.

Usually I’d re-view my posted entry again, but that latest one I posted up.. after publishing it, I DotA-ed straight away, did a bit of my Chinese homework then slept lol. Thanks for the heads up!
