Hey everybody!

I just got back from a mini-gathering, with a group of the best peeps i've ever known so far... hurhur.. =D

although it was rather impromptu... we still managed to gather a fair bit of pple, so thats not so bad aye?

first off, me met up with emu! walked to cultural centre to meet him.
oh, rewind a bit ah, i was supposed to bring a cd for ah kuan. just when i walked out of unilodge, i realised i didnt being it. nvm. went back up, came back down. realised i didnt bring a plastic bag to put it in. sian la! found a pocket to shove it in, and proceeded to walk to the cultural centre with a cd case jabbing my stomach side.
Note, this jabbing session lasted through dinner, until he met up with us at 3 monkeys.

but, back to topic... by the time i crossed the bridge, the realisation that i may have worn the wrong shirt out dawned upon me, but mainly due to the perspiration on my forehead that would normally wouldnt appear during an approaching winter. well, too late rite? bo pian loh.. anyway, i also realised that by then, mr anthony "maxpert" tan had given me 2 missed calls. he and lim yiew had alrd reached the dinner place, and since me and emu were going to be late, proceeded to talk kok ala anthony style.

to sidetrack a bit again ah.... anthony is sorta like a hokkien/dialect dictionary... if u've thought about something and before u open ur mouth to say it, chances are, he's alrd said it out in hokkien. si beh ho chio...

anyhoo..... we met up outside a nandos at west end area, then jay and carrie caught up soon after... after some pickign and choosing.... we ended up at this chinese/vietnamese place, which had quite good food actually..

here's a photo shot of the food taken by mr maxpert tan...


Looks great huh? we had....
mongolian beef,
fried tofu, (the batter was really good)
chicken with black bean,
sweet n sour porku,
luohan vege thingy

and what a feast we had... 3 buckets of rice. full!
really full......
the walk to 3 monkeys was really helpful for digestion...
oh, and miss lim yiew had beef pho (phor? phur? pho.) it looked better than the one at AJ tho. hmmm.

once we reached 3 monkeys, we saw a small table, but it had really confy looking chairs... so we settled for it at first sight.. while emu and jay busied themselves with a game or two of chess, i stoned for a while until kuan and hiroko arrived..
and then we had to shift to a beeger table, which wasnt that bad, cos it was outside and the whether was just fine... not too warm, not too chilli..

with a pack of cards and 8 semi-bored pple, what else? blackjack!

well, for 2 rounds actually. we played bluff after that.. which ended up longer than another chess game played by emu and jay cos it ended up as a stalemate btwn anthony and carrie...

oh, carrie and tanvi went for their skydiving today! congrats to them both for conquering the skies! =D

anyway, i seem to be sidetracking a lot for this entry.. could be the coffee.. the delayed effect is kicking in. later tonight cannot slp... and i have to wake up to go to sch tmr to hand in the 5+oop1d physics assignment...

OK OK no more sidetracking!

here are the pics taken of the gathering at 3 monkeys! =)




and here's an attempt at trying to fix emu's face...


hurhur

ok, i shall end off here... cant wait for the real potluck on the 22nd for u guys! whee!
