On a friday night, I went to the Mess with Nick. Saw Joel there, who is earlier than us. We ate some food (Fried hokkien mee is the main dish.) And got a can of drink each. They are all free! Or rather, they do cost us money... a monthly subscription fee to the mess. Since the money must be deducted regardless whether you go to the mess, might as well make good use of it and enjoy free food and drinks there haha. Joel and I then decided to go for a game of foosball. The table here feels smoother and the ball travels faster and its easier to anyhow volley the ball across the field haha. It was rather fun game we had.
Nick then forced me to sing some songs... which was rather embarrassing as my voice is not there yet. But his singing was very good to me.. So my voice felt inferior to his.. Ok, shall stop talking about singing. We then drank a cup of tiger beer each. We then went home after that.
What an enjoyable night with everything free!
Saturday: At evening, I went out to meet Darren Leong, Nich Khaw, Shili and Bryan. After not knowing where to eat due to long queues everywhere at NEX, we decided to go somewhere else to eat. As shili needed to collect some assignments at NUS, we decided to go there first before eating at Star Vista @ Buona Vista. So, Bryan drove us there all the way to NUS.. only to find that she couldn't collect the assignments, which meant a wasted trip. We then went to Star Vista, and decided to eat at Itacho Sushi. As I am not a fan of sushi, I ordered Chicken Terriyaki rice and ate a duck meat. (or whatever it is called.) We then went to buy icecream from some jap food mart. They then decided to throw the dry ice into the water (fountain?) and we just see smoke coming out from the water. Anyways, the green tea icecream from there was nice.
Bryan is nice as he drove every one back home.
Oh, and I forgot to say our original plan was to catch a movie... but it ended up with eating only haha.
Tonight, I went for some cohesion and farewell dinner thing, and ate at Ssikkek Korean Grill BBQ.
So sorry that my friends have to cook everything as I know nuts about cooking. The food was nice, and we actually added alot of seasonings and spice and we turn the korean-style-bbq into one of deep-stir-frying of our food.

Chapter 379: The past weekend
On a Friday night, Chih Siong sent me a SMS. He told me to meet at "bugs tomorrow". So, I assumed that that was a typo and he really meant "Bugis". So, I replied ok. After that, I start to be a little paranoid... maybe there really is such a shop/place called "bugs", just that I am not aware of it... If that happens and I did not clarify, then I will be a stupid fool waiting alone in Bugis for nobody... while the rest are wondering and waiting impatiently at "bugs".
I clarified with him and it really is "Bugis" thankfully.. orelse I do not know how to locate "bugs". Maybe google maps?
Saturday night, I travelled to Bugis. As usual, when I'm early, no one is there. So, I waited there. Awhile later, CS appeared and told me that Prashaanth told him that he has already reached.. but I didn't see him. Just after CS completed his sentence, I turned to my right and saw Prashaanth there... "hiding" at 1 corner. No wonder I didnt spot him.
So, we went around Bugis looking for a suitable gift. We looked at wallets at the "Wallet Shop". Then, we looked around at lots of things - from belts to ties to watches to caps to shirts. At that point, we somehow thought that we're just spending time window shopping... cause we'll most likely be buying the wallet at the end of the day. At the end of the day, we glanced upon a free lucky dip at G2000. So, Prash tried and got a 40% voucher. So, we decided to just buy something there. We then saw that the best prize from the dip was 50% discount voucher. So, CS and I went to try too... and both of us ended up getting 30% vouchers. We got a tie in the end, paid with 40% discount voucher.
So, our present to Arvind for his birthday is 1 tie plus two 30% vouchers. What a nice present and brilliant idea we got there, don't you think so?
We then headed over to "Landmark Village Hotel" for Arvind's birthday party.
Another rich kid, I'm the poorest kid around.
The party was quite good, only thing is that its Indian food and Tamil music. But that doesn't really matter much since food and music are universal. Oh, and the chocolate cake was great, damn nice.
On a Sunday, my family and I went to my grandparents' place, before we headed over to offer our prayers to our ancestors. We also prayed at the "tua pek kong" temple. This time, when I was given candles to lit, I told them that they forbid lighting of candles. I know that because I am guilty of breaching that rule 2 years consecutive previously.. and now I have learnt and will not make the same mistake again. Those who do not learn from History and condemned to repeat the same mistake.
Anyways, I finally got the concert tickets for OPUS thanks to my sis and her friends!

Chapter 378: SAFTI MI
At around 3.15pm, I received a SMS from Shili, asking me to be punctual and not to be late. So, I changed and rushed out of my house and took LRT then MRT to Serangoon. When I was at Buangkok MRT station, Nich Khaw (nk) called me and asked me why I still so far from Serangoon... I was shocked a little, maybe everybody has reached Serangoon already and they are all waiting for me.... When I reached Serangoon, I used the quickest pace to walk/run to the circle line platform... only to see Desmond Ser and Bryan Heng walking there too. Then we saw nk sitting there, who thought the meeting time was 3.30pm. He was early by 15 mins. So, the 4 of us are present at 3.45pm. And where is shili? So much for be punctual. She arrived 4 mins later and we went to take train all the way to Buona Vista then to Joo Koon (first time going there.)
We then rushed to SAFTI MI through feet. We then took a shuttle bus to reach the parade grounds. We were still early. And even at 5.30pm, the event still hasn't started yet... (it was already 15 mins past the stipulated timing) There were limited seats left at the time we reached... and those seats are mostly blocked by a pillar.... what best brains of construction planning.
So, the parade started. Marching, singing, speech, inspection of parade etc.
There was this part where they did a slow march up the spectators' stand. So, my friends decided to be funny. Desmond recorded the whole thing. Shili kept saying "Hi Darren" repeatedly, nk was making some background music, and this caused Darren to almost laugh while trying to keep his serious face on. The usher saw and started laughing to himself.
We then took a picture with him later on, and then we went to Jurong Point as dinner is only catered to family members? (I think.) So, we left without Darren, while the parade ended prematurely due to inclement weather.
We went to eat at "Ambush". A fast casual European Dining place, but the "fast" doesn't seem to be true as we waited quite long, probably due to the massive amounts of people dining there at that time. The food is not bad, the price is very bad. One point in time, nk was playing with a bottle, which he claims to contain rice grains.
He then asked me: What is this rice grain used for?
I replied: When you don't have enough rice in your food, you can add the rice grains in.
He then asks: What if I keep shaking this?
I replied: Then it will turn into porridge.
We then went home respectively through the train. (except for nk who went to his friend's house.)

Chapter 377: April
Before going into April, lets talk about the last Saturday before April. I finally drove my dad's vehicle for the whole journey on that day. I drove from my house to the Punggol shopping centre all by myself, which included the parking part haha. Reversing was ok, but correction after that was terrible lol... even with my dad's guidance... haiz.
---
And now we come to the first day of April.. where alot of things have to be taken with a pinch of distrust. Cos it is the legendary April Fool Day. But jokes and pranks are almost non-existent on this day already... maybe because of our age. No one tried to do any April Fool joke on that day, to my surprise. But it is kind of weird.. whatever people say, I will need to hesitate to figure if it is a joke or the reality...
And whatever I say, I have to hope that people will not treat it as a joke on that day... haha. Tough trying to pass that day, isn't it?
Anyways, soccernet tells me that United have lost 1-0 to Chelsea in the FA Cup. I hope that is an April Fool Day joke... but apparently it isn't...
Recently, I'm kind of addicted to the game Candy Crush. But no way am I spending money on this game, just for the fun of it, being a free game.
On a friday night, I went to the Mess with Nick. Saw Joel there, who is earlier than us. We ate some food (Fried hokkien mee is the main dish.) And got a can of drink each. They are all free! Or rather, they do cost us money... a monthly subscription fee to the mess.
