A tiring weekend

On Sat, whilst I was heading to the PC Show, I msged Ben and asked where they were meeting later to go eat, he said BP bus-stop at 5.30. Then I told him that TYY couldn’t make it and asked that the time be shifted back. He agreed, saying that they will delay time. Perhaps it was my fault for thinking that they were eating at BP, so after I bought my stuff, I rushed down to BP only to call them and have them telling me that they were caught in a jam on the way down to Marina Square! My ears nearly exploded when I heard those words. So I decided since I was already near home, I’d head home and drop off my purchases before heading down to Marina to join them at Yaki and Yuki by cab.

Well, when I got there, I was immediately called ‘saviour’ because they had taken too much food and since it was one of those all-you-can-eat buffets and wasted food went at $5/100g (works out to an amazing $50/kilo!). So I got down to cooking and finishing the food on the table before getting some sushi to eat. But I must say that they make lousy sushi. It was dry and pretty tasteless. Not to say that the prawn roe sushi was the worst that I have ever tasted. But the other food was not bad. I would say one of the saving graces of the place is the make your own ice-cream. It came in different flavoured liquids that you are free to mix as you wish, then pour it onto a chilling pan that freezes it into ice-cream. And there were also waffles that you could heat in a toaster for the ice-cream. All that just for $20+++ per person. Total Damage? $0. It was CW’s treat since he got a pretty high paying job this hols. Heehee… Now just have to wait for the rest to get jobs. Heehee… Ok I got a photo of the bill, but I dun think I will be posting it up. Too many essential numbers.

But I still got a few for ya! Tks to my new camera and lousy skills.

The two ‘gay’ buddies again!

After dinner after much debate, we decided to go for CS at Cuppage. All I can say is that it was a pretty outdated place. And the 2 buddies played pool nxt door cos’ they didn’t want to play CS. Play till 1am before we were all tired and headed home in cabs.

Reached home at almost 2am and decided that I should try to test my monitor so that if there was anything wrong with it at least I could bring it back to the computer fair to get it replaced. By the time I got the monitor connected and tested, which went without a hitch, it was already 4am. I somehow managed to drag myself to the bed before knocking out till 10 the next morning.

Woke up on Sun and started working on my installing my monitor. It was hell to do because of my computer table which has those concealed wiring things at the back. Had to literary rip all the wires out to remove the old monitor and install the new one. Took me till almost 5 before it was all working again. But the weekend of packing my room has gone to waste. Now my room is in a worst mess than before. Hahaha….

Once I confirmed all was working properly I rushed down to the BBQ at KW’s house. Managed to get there with the ice just as they were starting the BBQ. But I have to say sorry guys for not being able to help out with the preparations. I really would if I had the time. The BBQ was a pretty quiet affair. TYY again couldn’t join us, after putting the aeroplane on Sat. Next time perhaps.

Anyway, I’m on 2 days MC from Mon for the flu I’ve got, which turned asthmatic. Went to the polyclinic thinking it was a bad cough only, but I got an overzealous doctor who said it was minor, yet threw me all the drugs they use for major cases. And if it was major, the waiting time would have killed me. Waited for 4 hrs! If it was a serious case of asthma… I’d be dead already. But rest assured, I am still alive. Heehee…

Got to go now… Med is taking effect…
