11-13 Jun ( 2 days @ MC)
Haha finally can post an entry regarding the past few days.
11 Jun 05 Sat
Sat was fun. Had spend the afternoon at ‘Aunty Chin’ ‘s place. Was invited to her BBQ gathering. So glad to see my ex-colleagues again. J and A (the photographers) pretended that I am someone new, and extended their hands for a handshake and did an introduction of themselves. I played along but couldn’t help laughing.
Saw D, Ah Shui (WN), another Ah Shui (R) , “beach girl” and “tok kio” too.
Was telling them abt the “Mrs Li Sheng Jie” joke and then they told me one thing which made me very “Dui”.
Why?Cos Li Sheng Jie actually went to their photo studio to do a
fashion spread for Maxim Singapore. And that was featured in last issue of the magazine.
Darn!If I am still working in that company, I might have a chance to take a pic with him, and really can joke abt me knowing him. Haha
( Interrupt: hmm think the “I wanna marry Li Sheng Jie” joke had gotten a bit out of hand. Shall write a “disclaimer” in the next post. Main point is, I am not his die hard fan, nor I wanna marry him. It’s just a joke. But I really like his songs though.)
Keke… anyway, D asked me if I want a copy of
Mr 猪杂汤 (They said he look like 猪杂汤 in real person!!!! How can one be described as a dish?!!) . Hmm shall see how he looked like in the fashion spread.
Anyway bbq was fun. Pity that I can’t stay long. They joked abt everything, from lighting the charcoal, to frying like Zhi-char, Alvinn looking like bak-kwa seller, my self-censored way of telling jokes, old bengs snatching for food. And of course, with Aunty Chin as thr host, there is sure to be lots of food. My favourite is her home-made potato salad—nicely mashed and with eggs added. Yummy.
Here r 2 pics of the bbq scene. Can make out the sausages, chicken thigh meat, sotong and prawns?
Next stop:
Muchuan. Of cos, went to support the Monsters, who are performing an additional slot on Sat. Out of the usual Monday gang, only me, W and her bf were there.
Really refreshing to see Monsters wearing colours . XM was teased looking like a
ba-zhang as she was wearing a green printed top.
Monsters also crack jokes abt “Qu Yuan” hearing their songs as someone had written a few dedication slips without stating the table number. They shared with us a 欠扁问答题 posed by an audience:
一粒粽子掉在地上,请问谁会把它捡起来?Answer: 沈祥龙。(Sylvester Sim) 因为祥龙拾 Ba-Zhang ( 祥龙十八掌)Hahaha.
Keke someone was a bit off-form that day, and haha I thought I heard him singing some parts of
远走高飞 wrongly. Keke heard that song so many times on weekdays that I had become very sensitive to any mistakes made.
Keke something funny happened too. Just that when the rest of the Mon-sters were commenting that Ah-du seems a bit fazed that night and the three of us immediately thought of something, at the same time. Wrote a note to him and upon reading it, he was sheepishly laughing and his face turned red. Hmm, shan’t reveal what was in the note for fear that someone might pinch me. Hahaha.
Joined the Monsters for supper at the Orchard Cine Sushi place. Yah the same place where we had enough of their oily-cold ramen and ever-lasting seaweed udon. Well, we learnt our lesson and only ordered sushi and other side dishes instead.
Couldn’t really remember what we talked. But I know we spent quite some time talking abt blood group, zodiac. XM mention she had a 密集 which clearly state the characteristics of people according to their Chinese astrological sign, zodiac and blood type combined. Hmm interesting man.
ML and I made a joke of ourselves too. I sort of mentioned the pseudonym I used when I was in Sec school, when contributing articles to Friday Weekly. ML suddenly exclaimed “原来是你!” After that, Ah du was like holding his cup of green tea to ML, and ML took her cup, toasted him, then turn to me, toasted me in return and joked
“久仰,久仰!”.That left Ah Du very bewildered, and he said that his purpose of holding out the cup to ML, is to asked her to helped him to
refill water!
Keke!
Decided to hang ard after the supper. Din went for pool, though it should be the best time for me as XR isn’t there to disturb me. :P Sit ard at Basement before we were chased off by a security guard. Teacher Du left at ard 3am.
In the end the 5 of us went to hang ard at the tables outside the movie theatre.
I dunno which is more surprising: Jh throwing out 5 stones suddenly or to think he carried 5 stones in his bag. (Found out the 5 stones are actually GH’s).
We spent some time figuring out the steps. I cannot recall much as I am not good at playing 5 stones when I was young. ML was leading initially, then slowly JH was progressing well. So xia suey, I was stuck at level one (my butter fingers :P) when he had completed one round. Guy playing better than girls… Playing 5 stones is simply not my cup of tea. I think I am better at “pick up sticks” instead.
Playing 5 stones really make me feel nostalgic abt my childhood days.
Now then I realize, the 5 of us all belong to the 80s (as in growing up in the 80s).
12 Jun 05 SunNothing much to write.
Went to LifeShop, Nova Effects located at Raffles City before heading down to Plaza Singapura to get my craft supplies. Saw lots of new products on sale in the craft shop. The papers are sooooooooo nice, yet so expensive. How I wish I can own the shop :P.
13 Jun 05 MonMy supervisor returned from her overseas conference & gave us a box of Harrods chocolates each. Note the word *
each*.. So generous of her.
See , how nice the package is. With
blue ribbon too! :p
Very tempted to take a bite, but I am in diet leh. :P
Met Siping who was back from her Malaysia camp for dinner. As expected , XR was there. Whoa this gal huh, a few days never see me, the 1st thing she did is to scold me when I called to check out where she was, din even have to chance to tell her I was standing at the other end of the MRT station. Haha in the end, she couldn’t find where exactly I was waiting for her and had to call me again. :P :P What a 见面礼!
Heard different versions of the dreaded song 老鼠爱大米 while we are having dinner . Nope, not Guo Mei Mei’s version, but some auntie singer version. * groan*
Formed Table 47 at Muchuan, for there’s such a big group of us.
Quite like yesterday performance. It’s the first time I ever seen them being so 感性。Like they talked abt marriage—how it means to them.
XM and ML talked abt the topic on best friends liking the same guy.
JH touched abt singlehood. Sort of mention that initially he felt lost when resuming singlehood but after a while , he realized that he has more time to do things he wanna do.
My sentiments exactly. Once the feeling of hurt was over, I start to enjoy the free time I have, taking up new courses, learning new things. Of course I would have pick up more skills if I have more cash to spare. That’s why I ain’t that worried abt remaining single for the past 1.5 yrs though some of my friends seems to worry abt it and rather eager to set me up on dates. Uh duh! * roll eyes*
Speaking of JH, I had “awarded” him my
famous, chill-u-to-the-bone glare when he sang my “hubby” song
痴心绝对 wrongly. He had mixed up the lyrics at one point but pretend to 盖过. It is just a joke lah. Earlier in the evening, I had joked with ML that if JH sang Li Sheng Jie’s song with mistakes, I am going to glare at him. Yah I have been listening to his songs everyday and was so familiar with them that my ears pricked when I heard JH sang the wrong lyrics. Saw XR, ML turning to look at me, so I played along, pretending to be angry, glare at him, haha. After JH had finished singing the song, ML told him that “Mrs Lee “ was getting angry as he had sang her hubby’s song wrongly. To that, he even tried to deny, saying “ 有吗?”. Hence awarded him an icy glare for fun, which he caught me doing that.
Guessed that
icy glare really scare him. Haha.
Of cos, I kenna scolded by Sips for picking at him, when 我唱歌也好不到哪里去. Yah those were the words she used. Keke seems like someone 心疼 lor. Keke :P :P
Ok ok, think I am too carried away with the “I wanna marry Li Sheng Jie” joke that I instinctively defend Li Sheng Jie , or will mention abt him in the conversations. Haha .
Went for supper with the group after their performance. Can’t stop laughing at XR’s and XM’s impersonation of Thai and Filipino talking.
Whew. What a long entry, before I ended, here’s something to share.
This is what my friend told me over msn messenger:
This is the season for love dun u think?
i found out dat the season, may, june , july, oct, nov & dec .These are actually the time where most ppl get hitched & also ditched
then further research leads me to an astonishing discovery that
this period coincides wif the mating season in the animal kingdom. interesting eh?
