Golden & Silver Excesses

Cannot take it... my body is too weak...

Friday Fiesta was "empty" or so Geraldine complained, but hey, twas fruitful enough for me. Mei Pin says I'm improving a bit. Yay! Went to listen to Reverie again (the hot Aussie waitress was missing this time! Damn!) and Jon just keeps niao-ing our salsa gang. When Shane came over to talk shop... ahaha. SUAVE, huh.

Nearly ended up going KTV but luckily for my sanity, there weren't any more suitable timings so we postponed it to Saturday. Subway & Coffee Club for supper, and lots of opinions shared but my brain was unfortunately simply OFF. Being awake for close to 24 hours without any caffeine does that to me. Okay fine my brain wasn't that dead, I could get home fine, but I must have seemed real dead to the other guys! >_<

Saturday, 2pm: I get up and oh shit oh shit I'm super late for class.... not.... Lionel comes in real late. Which in turn makes me go oh shit oh shit I'm super late for Body Movement... and outta the blue, I see my phone after Int/Adv and Yingyi's like "Brian save me! The bus went the wrong way and I'm headed for PS!" Wah. If I pick her up, confirm late like nobody's business.

But alas I chose to the chivalrous thing (PUI! Me, chivalrous, as if that ever helped my case with girls...), and dashed over to pick Ying up before rushing to ADS in record timing. CMI lah, when we got there, we were stuck so far back in the crammed studio that I couldn't see myself in the mirror to check my body isolation, despite my height!

After class I brought Jared and Ying for dinner at Carl's Jr. Then we went roaming around. Oh, Jared must be real scared of AC girls now... any more of Barbie and the Magic Pegasus and I think we'd have turned into stone...

Jared left and along came Porshee, Ken and Sherry for KTV. Now, I am probably the biggest detractor of KTV I know. Given that KTV goers typically sing Chinese songs, KTV is the ultimate embodiment of taboo to me, being sick of listening to 93.3FM all day long in camp for the last 13 months. Besides, I can't sing for nuts! I regard myself as musically impaired.

So it was surprising that we had a fairly fun time - probably because we sang all the ridiculous ENGLISH songs *phew* and it helps that Sherry has an awesome voice. And come on, anywhere in the world you try it, attempting to do Phantom of the Opera on karaoke will simply slay you with laughter! Aaaaaaaa-aa-ah aa-ah aa-aa-ahhhhhhhhh....

This afternoon I stuffed myself silly at Sun with Moon. Nice place. Lazed the day away till dinner with MC, Simin and WJ at Curry Favor, then it was time for Chestnuts Episode III: Revenge of the Shooting Stars which I've been following ever since Hossan Leong's debut in the series 2 years ago. This one was a bit insipid at times when I think back of classics like the Matrix's Architect spouting his philosophical mumbo-jumbo in Hokkien. Wah lau, the bit with oogling "Allan Wu" was especially horrendous. Nevertheless, the political satire is smashing as always, and OMG, if you know anything about Emily of Emerald Hill you will simply die... I don't think it was totally worth $40 but if you're familiar with the Sound of Music and know a bit about the Singapore theatrical scene, then check it out.
