weekend snapshots
mood: hard at work (i hope)
Had a great weekend, and don't want it to end coz *sigh* i have a midterm monday morning, for one the the classes that i'm clueless about homework but life goes on anyways coz who gives a heck about me?

Friday i went to the CSA karaoke (noooo...not ka-ri-oh-kee) competition. It was pretty entertaining, and Xiaowei was really good. She did two pitch perfect renditions of Ah-Mei songs, but lost out to a kinda toot guy with an andy lau-ish voice (who sang Eric Moo for the final! ack!) and the ultimate winner, a caucasian girl(singing in english) who truly deserved the win, although some people were kinda peeved at that.There was a funny Jay Chou rap, the usual Jeff Chang ballad plus impossible to sing Coco Lee and Sun Yan Zi songs.. but sadly the MCs were making bad jokes (sea lion noises?!) and were kinda toot. oh well. Popped down to 88 dwinelle too...and the Singapore movie night night seemed to have been quite a success. I Not Stupid is a really good movie, and is in a language that more accurately reflects our own. There's a right mix of english, mandarin, hokkien and slang such that we can relate to what is being enacted on screen. Wanted to watch it again...but couldn't be in 2 places at one time. =(

Saturday was great too. Went up to Tilden for TBP picnic thing...the entire thing was rather disorganized. They almost couldn't have a BBQ coz no one had a light. But it was a glorious way to enjoy a beautiful sunny morning. but it got better. After the picnic Kai and i drove down to the Tilden golf course (but only after getting a little lost) and spent the afternoon at the driving range. I'm terribly lousy at it, can't seem to hit the ball right smack in the center. *sniff* can't wait to go down again, despite the blisters and sore muscles. Yep... it was nice to spend a lazy afternoon with a good friend. But it got better.

Spent the better part of saturday night at Henry's with Kok and Kai, and once again really enjoyed myself. Mentioned it before in the 22nd Sept entry...and it was nice all over again. It's funny how kok doesn't really bother to act all proper in front of me..and does all this vulgar swearing and makes all these crude jokes (about me even! boo!! )....and strangely, i just have hella lot of fun. The three of us talk about soccer, football, people, the past, chio bus, our other halves, and even how male porn stars have the best job in the world (says Kok, like he knows). But, i suspect i was just asked along to be the designated driver, should Kai drink his brains out. =P but they only had 4 beers each, so i had to join in the fun too right? Tried a 'Van Gogh Appletini'...stylo eh? It was pretty tasty, no strong alcoholic bitterness at all...though it was quite strong. Yar, trust me, i drank on an empty stomach. Bad idea. but no, i didn't end the night stumbling down stairs, crashing my car into a tree, or waking up in a strange bed. I bought pad thai...which thankfully helped. Great fun. looking forward till next weekend when we'll do it again. Must practice right? coz he doesn't drink, and i'll have to down all the yam sengs. =) hehz...wishful thinking.

And the magic continued on till today even. Woke up to a liverpool-chealsea match, with great company to boot. Fellow liverpool fan Sudhir came by with a bowl of his super chicken curry, and we enjoyed a last-gasp liverpool victory (woohoo!). Mmm, what a way to start the day. had a heartwarming conversation with darly, and it felt like the conversation would never end...but it had to, eventually, but it helped chase some of that loneliness away. It's never the same not having each other around. the world becomes ever that much more beautiful when you've got someone to share it with. argh. stop thinking about this. stopstopstop! thanksgiving come soon!
yar, i haven't done anything much despite a midterm tomorrow. As of now, i have not yet started studying for the class. However, i have dilligently planned my schedule for next semester, watched some tv, taken a nap, blogged, and eaten. I have even written a 300 word fairytale, in german. Astute readers will accurately deduce that yes, i am screwed.

and the weather so so damn hot.
