A good ol' friend asked me one day, in a very concerned tone, "Are you OKAY? Is everything alright? Your blog music, your post and your nick..."
Of course, of course, now when I look at this devastating combination of song and words, it can well be perceived as a harbinger of doom. In spite of this, I am very, perfectly fine, maybe just a couple of milimetres short of being over the moon. So don't worry you girl (: But thanks though. At least I know, if one day I'm truly devastated, someone half a world away would still know first hand! (Okay, that was just a hypothetical situation you folks.)
A slight disappointment still lingers whenever I think of the hard disk I had to say goodbye to. To say the crowd at convention hall yesterday was crazy is but a very, very gross understatement. It was way more than crazy. It's as if the entire Singapore population was fitted within the walls of Suntec. BlackRabbit joked about Suntec's building foundation being put to the test, and by any minute it would just collapse under the weight of the crowd. Seriously, when I saw the massive collection of moving heads before I alighted 97, my stomach instantly bore butterflies.
Imagine you had to queue to even take the escalator.Imagine level one of convention hall so full of people that you can barely inch around - and I mean INCH, really to move an INCH.
It sure did feel like you were in the congested streets of Shanghai. Although I have never been to Shanghai.
In disappointment we headed to Marina Square, and saw this:
He was REAL. It's a feat how he could stay there in that pose, motionless. The only movement you could see was the slight heaving of his chest as he breathed. Even so, you've got to stare at him really hard to catch that. Here's a close up on his face.
Disappointment aside, I was really satisfied at the heavenly (but grossly overpriced) black sesame paste I had. At least, that was something.
Dinner with the girls was predictable. Man, I guess we've known one another for SO so long. And boy, we are all gonna turn 21 this year. THE year, woohoo!
When our drinks came, we were so in awe with the "mug" Evon got for her drink, because both Tiff and mine were skinny. Here's what the "mug" looked like:
And here is what it means by 小巫见大巫:
Next time I am there, I am so gonna order that. It's value for money you people!
As they always say, 一山还有一山高, and it is SO DAMN TRUE. We were still marvelling at that big 'mug' Evon got for her drink, when I turned my head a little and saw something HUMONGOUS. Not forgetting of course, the gasp that followed.
At another table, THIS was what they got:
And that almost concludes my Saturday day-out. And how can I NOT show you my BlackRabbit, in his most classic face:
