What a weekend

Ok i guess my set of 3 haikus were rather abstract. Anyway, i had a busy weekend, one of the few that i really maxed out. Am feeling happy about it, besides the fact that i went to a pub (which is always a good thing for a guy like me that doesn't chiong).

On thursday night, i forgot what i did. On friday night, i had a NYSA meeting (during which i ate my most complete meal since chinese new year), and after that joined Changge and Weiyao for drinks, with surprise guests from Penn, Qiuwei, Nikolaus and Kevin, and Wilson from UMich, and some other NYU peeps one year my senior. Which was interesting, since this was the first time i joined this group for drinks, but it was cool. Haven't seen Niko and Qiuwei and Wilson in a long long time. So. Got back around 230, and decided if i went to sleep i wouldn't be able to wake early. So i chatted on msn until 545.

Then it was time to prepare for snowboarding (bus leaves at 630) at hunter mtn, which i promised Cliff to go for. Great time, Cliff and Lionel and I had, though without sleep, as Cliff put his surfing expertise into snowboarding. Saw some fusion style there, half squat with hand trailing the snow like cutting the wave.. V cool la, then the board keep spinning also. I tried to perfect my S (but couldnt), had some mega falls, pulled my neck and cracked all my upper vertebra. Which felt good. Then we got back to the Village, had dinner at DOJO restaurant, was bad fake Jap food. The calamari was good though, big and juicy. So by then it was 10ish, but i still didn't sleep. Andrew (from upstairs) was looking for someone to help in his photo scavenger hunt, and i obliged cos i was too tired to reject him. So there were 3 tasks. In order of outrageousnous,

Task 1:

A Faux Hawk (as they call it here).

Task 2:

Finding someone willing to be written on.

Task 3:

Drag!!! Hahahahhahah for the record, i attribute the pouty idea to Junlin har har

Considering Jes had to play "hooker", mine wasn't too bad at all.



I mean to me i don't mind la. Not as if i'm unsure of my sexuality, not as if i'm too straight to do this for fun. Then again i was too tired not to do this, i was high on fatigue and inspired by Brokeback mtn hahaha So anyway after that i watched team america (f*ck yeah) and fell asleep periodically thru the movie cos i was beat, and then after that stupidly agreed to go pub with Jess and Angelo and Maya (who were watching the movie). Had a stella and 2 guinesses, and was happily watching soccer and just chilling in general at the pub, till about 4ish, then Angelo and I smashed somemore at home, before i finally retired for the night around 5.

The problem is, when i've had a significant amount to drink, i auto wake early. So i woke at 1030, and just milled around until i got more info about lunch with Qiuwei, Wilson and Niko. We had lunch at Nyonya, which was good cos we ordered so much. I'm half regretting not ordering the Mee Siam cos i've been craving that for awhile, but scared couldn't finish. Anyway after that we went to look for this hairdresser in Chinatown that used to cut for Toni and Guys, that moved to NY to pursue the fashion industry (which pays poorly in SG unless you're that celeb hairstylist Gan (cant remember his name)) cos Qiuwei and Wilson wanted to fix hair. Then i was also debating between shaving my head and coloring my hair (last chance before i become eligible for internships), so... Guess which one i chose?


I don't have a trendy picture so this will have to do first.

So anyway we all had cuts, Niko too, and i'm pretty pleased with it, except that i don't wax and this style requires waxing to look proper. But at least i look different, and i think thats what i intended anyway. Perhaps bring out a different side to me. So after that we carried on SoHo shopping (window only) and stopped to Dinnerhop at Japanese restaurants (not smart at all, but thoroughly enjoyable). Had great sushi and ramen, skewers were ok. Sake was great though, i liked. Was happily drinking with Qiuwei who was pleased to find someone fun to drink with (yes i bhb i think highly of myself as a drinker). Had some mochi ice-cream before they left to catch the chinatown bus back to Penn. Most unfortunately Qiuwei's camera decided to "soujourn to the lab" (insert Chan Lei Ping voice here) and went MIA. Couldn't find it anywhere... Ouchness. Which explains why there are no photos of them... Feel damn bad also la... So anyway after that, Oscar watching and smash brothers, before i retired for the night after setting Wilson up (who was planing back to Michigan in the morning).

And after school yesterday, had dinner with Urmi (Grace's roomie) and bunch and the Indian gang at a vegetarian restaurant (she's a Jain). Ordered pan-fried vege dumplings and "felicity mushrooms" which i enjoyed very much (though feeling abit like a panda cos i was enjoying the bamboo shoots very much too), before ending the night with icecream at B&J's (thanks Grace for getting that A) with the bunch. And then Mel came over.

Which explains why i'm up this early, blogging. It's seldom that i get to watch the sky brighten up, cos normally its right and bright when i wake. But then it's worth waking early, if just to catchup abit with Mel and to talk la. Always have a good time talking to her... Which makes me feel in a rather conversational mood, thus the compulsion to blog when i should be sleeping.

Still feeling the aches from snowboarding, wish i was home. Then at least can get cheap massage... Ooh the benefits of being home. Damn 1 hr left to "wake up time". Gonna get some sleep now yeah.
