[ 655. Saturday ]
Rare saturdays. It's another long weekend, and i took advantage of it by staying at home on a saturday morning. Well, was on the phone till rather late last night. The last time i used the phone at such unearthly hours was back in secondary school days when internet connections were at best a 56.6kbps. Nonetheless, that's the reason why i planned on sleeping in late today. Well, well. All's not going according to plan. Mom decided to pull me out of lala land at 8am to accompany her for breakfast. Mom, i'm on a DIET and i didn't INTEND to have breakfast. But being the nice lil son and if i wanted to go shopping for clothes at her expense, i reckon that it'll do me good if i went with her. Pulled myself out of bed and went down. Shared a plate of carrot cake and tea. That's before i went back home, slapped the stupid computer (who happens to be still in the pms mode) and switched in on successfully before deciding to download my snes emulator and mario game to entertain myself. Alas, the tiredness set in barely an hour later and i was back in dreamland.
Rudely awakened (AGAIN) by mom, this time from her returning home after some class. Nonetheless, i decided to get up for good and prepare to meet samuel for lunch. Appointment's at two. He left his ship at one-thirty. So we ended up meeting at three. Walked around ps before deciding on lunch at long john's. Urgh. Didn't intend to have fast food... it's fattening, and i'm fat enough. Urgh. but since he chose it, i was lazy to contest against it. After that... guess what we did? We merely relocated and went to cartel for desserts. Oh gawd. How lazy can i get. I mean, i was tired... so i suggested we find a place and sit and talk crap. And ended up doing what i did best: take photos after photos after photos...
Oh yes, we watched the li jiawei match at cartel. What a waste i guess. She lost by that very very narrow margin. 2 game points. 1 set. That's all she lost by. Ouch. Samuel and i were just bitching and thinking how sad it was to lose by that kind of margin in such a big game. Ouch...
Dragged samuel to go meet up my primary school friends. Felt kind of bad that i had to give up the class gathering in order to watch mabel's concert. Well, but since i have not much emotional attachment to that group, i reckon i'll just be a nice guy and meet them up for a couple of minutes before moving on to city hall. Well, at least i should be nice enough to turn up and shake a few hands, apologise for not being able to stay, then go off. Also, it's time for them to see how much weight i've lost anyway. I guessed as much. Some of them just can't recognise me. =)
Since i've dragged sam halfway, i thought might as well take him all the way with me till city hall where i met huiyin up. The two of us arranged to meet for dinner, ended up drinking soup at my favourite soup haunt: the soup spoon. Bought two plain but striking sunflowers for mabel and liphang before meeting joshie and moving over to jubilee hall. And i saw him. Yes, marcus. And i was like "OH-MY-GAWD-I-DONT-WANT-TO-SEE-HIM-WHY-IS-HE-AT-THE-TICKETING-COUNTER!!!" but nonetheless the quick me sent huiyin over to collect the tickets instead... muahahaha... i'm so evil, xuan, i'm so evil.
Apparently, this metrophilharmonic youth choir seems rather oriental in nature. The proportion of chinese songs in their reportaire was a bit too much for a local youth choir. Well, can't really blame them when the composer whose songs the choir was featuring that night was this old chinese educated man. Songs are not exactly your common choral pieces, and some not that pleasing to the ears after all. But all in all, it was compensated by the performance in the second half. Kudos to MPYC given the strength that they had.
And yes... i'm kind of tired typing such a long blog, at such an unearthly hour. Argh. Went for supper with mabel, joshie and huiyin before getting on a cab with this irritating driver...
