Wednesday Night = SUBA night

On Wednesday night, we gathered at Suba for a second time. This time some st nicks classmates were there too. I haven’t seen most of them for at least 2 years.




All looked really cosmopolitan except me. Hehe.. I was decked in t-shirt and shorts as it was my off day.

A conversation that went on between me and 1 of my st nicks fren:

SN fren: Hey I heard that you are teaching… some special teaching.

Me: Yeah what you heard was old news. But I’m still in the education line.

Sn fren: Oh really? [Eyeing my golden hair and nodding uncertainly] Are you an English teacher?

Me: Sort of… hey… how do you know??!

SN fren: Because you corrected my English just now. You told me it was wasabi peas and not nuts.

[Both laugh hysterically]

Me: How about you?

SN fren: Oh I catch criminals [puffing heavily on a cigarette with a glass of beer and 3 cigarette boxes in front of her]

Irony…

We saw Tiff with her colleagues there too. What a coincidence. She was really eager to join the Bimbo club. She thought the ring-watch was like the coolest thing on the planet. The status of her membership is still pending as she has to buy the ring. In the meantime, she had ditched her colleagues for us as she said she wanna hang out with the cool group. Bimbo = Cool?

She is really worthy to be in the club. We were trying out the Jappy-Taiwanese cutesy gals number pose when she demonstrated the whole thing to us in the most bimbotic manner.

And so we had fun doing those numbers...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5


5, 4, 3, 2, 1


Most of the st nicks people had left by that time, leaving only pinky and her colleague who sportingly joined in the bimbo shots to increase the number.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7


Vincent stood in front of us and enquired if he should get the whole pub to join us so we can make up till a hundred. We asked him to join in the shot. But he protested, “Don’t want. I don’t like to act cute like you all.”

He had to eat his words!


Jeremy, the bartender, wanted to join in with a manly pose. So, we gave him MAN. We gave him James Bond 007.


Geral was so high on wasabi. She was laughing like a hyena even before she started drinking a lot.


I forgot what drinks these are.


Blurred but pretty shot of 2 gals who were each other's 1st friend in primary 1.


After brightening this image, it is my new favourite shot of us. And that's geral's finger.


Very tall shot glasses


We were supposed to stick out our tongues but zanne spoilt it.


Get us away from the freak at the back!


Trigger happy…

Sticking out our tongues…

Acting pathetic…


Never knew that geral and my arms are long enough to fit 5 of us in the frame.

“Own pose. Own pose.” Geral and me got mo qi and acted sweet, while tiff, xtina and zanne went for the dao look.


Jeremy joined in for the Hip hop pose.


Vincent: You all not hop enough.
Me: But we are hip enough.

Jeremy folded roses for us coz we teased him last week when he only folded for zanne.

xtina hua chi


geral hua chi


jo hua chi


tiff is the most hua chi


drink drank drunk


Ok give her credit. She is not that drunk la. Drunk enough to keep reiterating the fact that she has a conference call from New York at 7am that morning.

5 human flowers


Special bouquet for zanne.

On Saturday night, I attended my cousin’s wedding.


My cousin is the groom.

Best cosin, Lydia, the sis of the groom.


Together with another of their brother, we used to hang out alot when we were kids. I loved staying over at their place. Their house is like a haven for kids as they owned all the latest toys. (Although they had all the latest toys, they weren't spoilt brats. They were fortunate to have uncles and aunts from the other side who doted on them.) I've never had a Barbie doll and my 1st and only barbie was given to me by Lydia. The boys used to be very notti little kids. We had so much fun fighting with the bullies at the playground. Sand throwing, paper bullets with rubber band... When we got home, the boys were caned by their dad for setting a bad example while the gals got away scot-free.

Those memories...

Grandma and the couple


I taught Grandma how to do the cutesy number pose and she did #5. Too bad that photo isn’t in my camera.

To take off the ribbon décor, we had to go round the table like 10 times. All my little cousins were laughing at us while da jie snapped a shot as she thought we looked very cute going round and round…





And I repeat, soooo many weddings and birthdays in June.

24 facts about this blogger

I’ve been busy spending time with kh the past few days. Went shopping with him on Friday. So taken aback when he suggested going shopping. Haha… ended up not buying anything but stationeries. Attended a church wedding and 2 babies’ birthdays yesterday. 3 June 2006 is indeed a popular day for birthdays and to get married. And it’s really really a trend to marry young and have kids manz. In both babies parties I saw so many young couples with kids. Saw a lot of cute babies too.

This baby has got very cute puppy dog eyes. Even the guys were so enthralled by his eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was tagged by Joel a few weeks back to write 24 facts/ things/ habits about myself. I have tried to avoid tormenting my brain cells by conveniently pretending not to have read his entry but I figured since I would have a lot lesser time to blog from now on, I’d take the opportunity to blog more now.

Here goes:

1. The Gemini trait that describes me best would be my dual personality. I can be adaptable yet resistant to change, intelligent yet stupid, capable yet incompetent, eloquent yet tongue tight, full of life yet boring, talkative yet quiet, friendly yet hostile, neat yet untidy, decisive yet fickle, having teacher-like qualities yet ah-lian-like characteristics… … The list is inexhaustive.

2. I don’t have any talent to boast about except for being able to brush my teeth without the toothpaste dripping for a very long time. I can brush my teeth while walking around, reading the newspapers and even lying down.

3. I get into states of nausea as frequently as I get headaches.

4. My tear ducts are abominable little pricks. I never tear but cry. Tears flow relentlessly like streams whenever I yawn, feel tired or am sick. Tears could flow on any occasion and at anytime even though I’m not feeling sad. Thus, tears are bad indications of my emotions. I really hate my overactive tear ducts. They often get me into unwanted attention and misperception.

5. I don’t have any best friends coz I don’t believe in having just one best friend.

6. I am very afraid of killing Simba by stepping on her. I always have this little paranoia that one day my family members or I would trample Simba to death.

7. I’m bad at recognizing people and am quite blind. I don’t really look at people in the face when I walk so I get a lot of “Why you never say hi to me”, “Why you so dao”, “I saw you but you didn’t see me” etc. Hmm… Why didn’t they say hi to me?

8. I eat almost everything except crabstick, mushroom swiss from Burger King, smelly vegetables like celery, Chinese parsley, pang1 cai3 etc. The reason why I don’t touch the first two now was coz I used to like them a lot, ate too much of them and vomited endlessly.

9. All my clothes have to be folded in the same way and facing the right direction.

10. I love doing housework whenever I feel like doing it and I hate doing it whenever somebody like dad or mum ask me to do it.

11. I hate, abhor, loathe, scorn, detest people who with condescending eyes, say I’m skinny and enquire if I do eat. I absolutely feel like slapping them when they exclaim “Sure or not?” after informing them that I eat like a pig. What audacity to question me if I’m sure about things related to myself!

12. I am a classic example of xiao3 shi2 liao3 liao3, da4 wei4 bi4 jia1. (Loosely translated into: You may be clever when young but it is not always the case as you grow older) My class position in lower primary is 1st and 2nd all the way until I converted to a mediocre student and subsequently degenerated into a lousy weenie who ranked 30+ 40+ position in a class of 45. My L1R5 was 20+ and 30+ points in secondary school. Even the polytechnic wouldn’t accept such grades.

13. I used to think of myself as a good for nothing until I got into NYJC and subsequently RJC.

14. I scored grades like DOFF, EOFF, COF in my 2 years there.

15. I love to marry young, have kids young and be a young mummy. But when the time comes, I don’t really want it and don’t know what is wrong with me.

16. I don’t really like eating in the movies. I can’t care for any popcorn.

17. I love the smell of rain and sun-dried linens.

18. I’m a well-known pig to many. Da jie calls me “Piggy” while er jie calls me “pig”. Come to think of that, I haven’t heard them calling my name for years. Even my name is saved as “Piggy” in my da jie’s handphone address book. Kh calls me “pigpig” while my good friends simply think of me as a pig.

19. I cannot use the chopsticks well and am embarrassed but as long as I can pick my food with it, who cares?

20. I stumble and roll over my tongue when I speak Mandarin. The only thing Chinese about me are my black roots.

21. I would love to have a driving license but sheer laziness has stopped me from getting one. When I was 18, I took basic theory for fun, passed and went on to take advance theory and passed again. I had no money for practical after that. After I had saved enough money I did not have the time to learn. When I had the time, I did not have the money. When I had the time and money, I was simply too lazy. Just shoot me.

22. I am a subconscious workaholic. Even though my days are jammed packed with activities like tuition and fun, I suffered from SEVERE lack of appetite and insomnia the past few weeks due to not getting out to work.

23. I could never deviate much from the education line.

24. I just signed the letter of appointment today and am wondering if I’ve made the right choice.

And the rule for this game would be to tag 6 more after you complete your list. Rules are meant to be broken so I shan't tag any but leave it to those who want to do it to do it. Do remember to inform me when you are done. =) Have fun!

The Night I became THE Merlion

Met up with xtina and sonia (who is affectionately known as bei by us) yesterday. I haven’t seen bei for quite a few months, excluding that short meeting during The Vagina Monologues in February. She is beginning to look more and more like how she first looked and she always has a kind word for everyone. Such a sweet chum!

The 3 of us have a peculiar affiliation. xtina and I are linked by our primary school. bei and xtina are linked by their secondary school. bei and I are linked by our jc. The 3 of us met for a short while at nygh when I was there in sec 1. Yet, this friendship remained strong throughout the years.

bei wanted to check out this sandwich café at Swissotel.

THOS


My Deli sandwich


The sandwiches and pie are great but sad to say the service SUCKED big time. We weren’t expecting such lousy service from a café located inside a hotel and were quite appalled by the waitress’s attitude. Maybe it’s just the waitress having a bad hair day but seriously it’s a major turn off. We were impelled by the bad service and fled to another place for drinks and desserts. We found ourselves at Bakerzin.

Trying to adorn our cakes with oversized sunnies






3 of us

Something silly happened when we were taking this shot. The 3 of us were posing and aiming at ourselves when many ang mo tourists started staring at the camera screen, and at us… whispering to one another and smiling away. It was only after we thought the photo has been taken and turned the screen towards us that we realised the camera was set at play mode, so what they saw on the screen was this…



We have become chocolate mint, lime mint and Perrier respectively! And such a coincidence that our positions corresponded to what we drank.

Parting shots…







KH has touched down!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna meet him now then check out SUBA with the bimbo sistas later. But ssshhh... Don't let the people the know we are bimbos. We are supposed to act cosmopolitan. Will post up more photos later…

Tata!

Photos from that night...

Ladies night at Suba was till 9pm. Geral and I arrived at 8.50pm and we were the earliest. Zanne sashayed in 10 minutes later and the latecomer award goes to…xtina and her friend xtine.


We tried to recruit xtine into our club coz she was rather fun to hang out with. I think she thinks we are crazy.

The bimbo sistas reunite in black and white! It was unintended.


Somebody commented that geral and I look like sisters. Do we?

The extremely cordial Vincent who expects us at the pub every Wednesday from that night onwards.


Very sweet Cosmos sans mei3 nu3


Mei3 nu3 dai4 jiu3


The queen of bimbo geral is outta the club. Her ring had broken and she tried to make up for it with a humongous pearl ring.


The siao char bors took my camera and started snapping away…

5 of us were supposed to be in this shot but look what happened.


Geral was so amused when her hair clip got stuck on the couch.


5 of us proper


Headed to zouk after that coz bz bz auditor hasn't checked it out after its revamp.

That night, I earned the reputation of being a merlion… FULLSTOP!
