Another Day
Went out recently to watch the Thai movie, Alone; no, I don’t watch movies without company. Found it amusing how me and josh actually convinced xiaowei that it was a family comedy in the mould of Home Alone, and that she was actually so gullible as to believe us. At the movie theatre, we even positioned ourselves subtly and cracked lame jokes to distract her from the gruesome poster depicting that very movie behind us, whilst angel was getting the tickets.
During the movie, I thought it unfortunate for her that she was seated between us. Even though she was cowering and covering her eyes every moment or so, we made sure she was updated on the proceedings sufficiently throughout. During a certain scene where the main character heard heavy breathing behind her but always saw nothing when she turned around, we made sure to emulate the heavy breathing in her direction. Surround sound, indeed.
Went to the arcade thereafter. When I suggested playing the cutesy bishi-bashi game, angel and xiaowei happily acquiesced, commenting aloud that they could humiliate me in one area finally. I think I won about 13 of the 15 games hands down. Oh wells. Just goes to show that appearances are deceiving indeed. But seriously, I have yet to find anyone who can come close to my timing for the flower-growing component of bishi-bashi where u’re supposed to mash 2 buttons as fast as possible to aid the plant’s growth. I doubt I’ll be playing it much tho when I become a teacher after graduation. Haha.
Glutton’s Bay beside the Esplanade had some great-tasting food, the hokkien noodles being one of them. Thought it was one of the best I’ve tried thus far. But they really should consider helping to peel the prawns before serving as it’s rather troublesome to have to do so oneself. The stingray and satay were tasty but nowhere close to exceptional.
Then spent the remaining time in hall playing bridge till morning, during which they had a good laugh at my expense as I just started to learn how to play that very night. And I had to take pictures for the beach event later at Sentosa. I really should have catched a few winks. But luckily I wasn’t exactly shagged out thereafter and my pictures turned out fine.
Quite an eventful day, I must say.
