Birthday Gathering
(post edited*)
Millions of thanks to Charis for the red wine; thanks to Siti Nana for strumming the guitar for me especially; thanks to those who had to overpay due to those frigging screw-ups.
Most importantly; thanks to Edmund Chua, Gloria, Eric, Chinyang, Jeremy Ong, Edmund Kwek, Leeteng, Junior, Mingfeng, Charis, Zhenghao, Benjamin, Jie Jing, Tomi, Soohoon, Cuiting, Siti Nana, Nouru and Sammy for coming and making my day. (L)
Saturday (14th November):
Despite having quite a number of incidents and dumb screw-ups happening here and there; many a time of emotional breakdowns I had; however I’m glad to say that I’d enjoyed my birthday gathering a lot thanks to the people who made it happened.
Waited for Gloria and Edmund.C at Bugis MRT Station for quite long; cause I arrived too early. Happy that I got to bump into Davin there, quick conversation with him; not to mention that I finally got to talk to him (kind of sad that he couldn’t come in the end for the gathering). Edmund.C soon came then went to Illuma to supposedly queue to buy the movie tickets but sadly none available anymore; so when Gloria arrived we three went to Bugis Shaw to buy the tickets instead for the 3pm slot; then over to the coffeshop opposite for their lunch. Then back to the cinema to catch our movie.
We caught “2012” which I must say is an amazingly nice movie with wonderful effects. Sadly, I hate Shaw cinemas; had to totally sit straight in order to see the movie cause the seats were too high and I was too short. But still, I’d totally recommend this movie to friends cause its hell damn good. It is kind of scary to actually imagine the end of the world.
After the movie, we were late to meet up with Sammy and Nouru but then we did. The few of us then went over to Fish & Co. for an early dinner; which was wrapped up rather quickly cause we had to rush down to Blu Jaz; supposedly to confirm our reservations. Shared the Seafood Platter with Sammy; food was damn filling and good; both of us couldn’t even finish it. After dinner, Sammy, Nouru and I cabbed down to Blu Jaz whilst Gloria and Edmund.C went to pick Eric up.
Upon reaching Blu Jaz, Jeremy, Benjamin and Jiejing came; then Eric, Edmund.C and Gloria. Sadly, the place was totally fucked up and our reservations got screwed; so we’d decided to go someplace else for drinks. Ended up in Ambrosia, an Arabian kind of café-cum-lounge-cum-bar?
Ambrosia has a wonderful ambience, but too many screw-ups there. Anyway, later on more arrived; shared Towers amongst us; the food weren’t too good though; then some “sheesha’ed”. Siti strummed the guitar for us then we sang along; Nouru, Sammy and Eric were too high; totally what the hell; later on we left due to the screw-ups.
By then, there were only Charis, Tomi, Zhenghao, Eric, Cuiting, Soohoon, Siti, Nouru, Gloria and myself. On to TD2 for continuation of drinks; the place was kind of sleazy; sides mostly Thai people inside; so I wouldn’t say I liked it a lot. Rather preferred chilling out and dishing with Gloria outside the disco; talking about life. Met some Yishun Town senior; who approached us; then later on Soohoon got overly high which was really funny; in fact everyone seemed to be little extreme already. Managed to stay there till about 3am plus then Cuiting’s friend sent us girls home via his car. Then I was dropped off last; but the two of them were sweet; they sent me up to my doorstep.
I really enjoyed myself a lot dear friends; thanks a lot for everything (L)
