countdown plan

it's 2005! and i got a very big shock this morning when i woke and wanted to blog. i thought my keyboard was spoilt cause some keys showed numbers instead of the letters they were supposed to represent. so if i had typed "appreciation", it showed *apprec5at56*.

which, isn't at all amusing considering i bought the laptop less than 3 months ago...

well, met andre for dinner, though it was a last minute plan. tried subway melt for the first time and boy, was it yummy! and i perfectly understand why pple can get 'addicted' to subway now. :) then later we went to haagen daz ice cream palor for dessert! :) well i got some ice cream vouchers for christmas from my aunt mar, 3 X $10 vouchers. must start spending mar if not i'll never finish them. well the queue was SLOW, although there were few pple in the queue. but took a million years for the queue to move... the management should try to increase the seating capacity and then they can make more money too. :)

and it was only yesterday tt i realised haagen daz charges differently for eat-in and take-away. of course the latter being more expensive, furthurmore still have your usual gst and css. haha, which makes a triple scoop ice cream cost $12.10, cf $7.90 for a 3x scoop take-away. haha. but got place to sit mar. what's more it was drizzling and neither of us favored the idea of eating ice cream in the rain.

wah then so qiao(3) met hansel, gy and lq!!! habben seen them in a long time liao. and apparently they were walking to esplanade. aiyoh, they started all the way from newton food centre and when i met them they were at orchard. haha, lq was kbing about how these 2 idiots wanted to WALK there. in the rain somemore. crazy. so amusing.

but anyway i soon found myself walking with them too. haha. andre couldn't take it and went home, also to finish dling his stuff before the clock struck 12 (when the carriage would turn back into a pumkin and the white horses turn back into field mice. cheh. of course not lar. rather before the copyright laws 'officially' set in).

esplanade was superb. they had wanted to go catch 'electrica' (or however u spell tt), which we did just in time to catch the last 30 seconds of their last song. haha. i think they were all quite fustrated. but there was also another stage where there was this super zai jazz singer performing. omg she's how chio! somemore she was singing as she was playing the keyboard, with her crew of a bass, main guitar and another keyboard. her voice is POWER. sigh, my heart sunk when i saw her wedding ring. oh well. didn't catch her name anyway.

esplanade was quite crowded. alot of cisco too and it was funny (though irritating) to observe how they converted walkways to 1-way streets and thus getting around was alike a maze at times. oh and they cancelled the fireworks and there was no countdown too, instead replacing it "observing a minute of silence" for the victims of the asia tsunami. very prudent initiative by the government i must say.

haha after tt the 3 clowns came to my place before heading out again to lavender for supper, where i demonstrated yet another successful attempt at // parking. :) although i was like dead tired liao by now lar. ohoh, tried the western food chicken chop again after such a long hiatus ever since the s11 at stamford road closed down... haiz. yep, but the food's just as great as before. with the unique green chilli served with fried rice + chicken chop. yummy!~

after supper they came over supposedly to play majong. HAHA. but i COULDN'T FIND the tiles!!! haha, hansel was damn pissed, but we came to terms with life and settled for taidi then. and it was really not a few rounds before we got sian and went to look for mtvs on yahoo. quite an eye opener cause i never knew such a big collection of mtvs existed. free somemore. some singers like eminem, creed etcetc. haha watching eminem's mtv where he 'spoofed' michael jackson was HILLARIOUS. heard mj demanded tt eminem remove the mtv. haha, somehow it's not very successful cause even I got to see it. and 'like toy soldiers' is like how cool! :)

we gradually all fell asleep at 5am... then hansel's hdpn alarm woke all of us up 7am... SIANZ. haiyar, go home go home... cannot sleep for a while more meh... haha. anyway i gave them a lift to novena mrt lorz. and man, i think tt's the time when all of heaven's angels were on high alert man... cause I WASN'T. thankfully it was a short drive only. :)

think this was a wonderful way to bring in the new year. yep, although i didn't have any 'big plan', things still worked out to make this a most memorable day.

*omg. an accident just happened at the junction outside my house. quite loud the bang. think 1 passenger knocked her head quite badly, no blood though. and some shoving between the passengers the car too. aiyoh... why liddat. 1st day of the new year... but yet i want to see what happens... haiyoh hope... why liddat so ba(1) gua(4)... HAHA. intriguing. hope everyone's fine...*
