My first Meet-A-New-Friend session kicked off with a scam by Wanyi(She could be donating her blood to save the dying but for all we care, she's still scamming!) on last Friday night to head over to town for dinner.Why can't they come over to Jurong East? It's like the new Orchard!
Okay I'm deluding myself.
Anyways so me and Gimo head over and stuffed ourselves for dinner at this pseudo Hongkong restaurant in Cineleisure with Wanyi and her classmates. The food was on par with can food and instant noodles but the company was stellar.
Wanyi and Eliz was the mark for our harmless ridicule which goes without saying. Germaine on the other hand got lucky as we had some semblence of etiquette to not engaged someone we've just met in friendly mockery. Yet. =)
Daniel, whose name I asked for thrice(Sorry I'm an airhead.) was every bit as hilarious as the rest of us. Andrew, the Vanness clone joined us slightly later along with Jasmine and Dom arriving near the end of the meal!
Daniel, Germaine, Wanyi and Eliz!
The teasing between us(Her classmates included.) went to and fro, with a little sidedish of small talk filling up the supposed silence between each bout of laughter.
I for one chatted mostly with Eliz(But not exclusively. She's attached for the love of god!) and albeit it has been 6 months since I've last saw her, it felt as though not a day has passed since we last spoke as such.
The 2 cousins. Didn't I mention?
And she's gotten prettier too. You go girl!
Made from fresh leftovers. Who wants to puke?
The KTV session that we're to have after was changed to a near midnight movie instead, with Daniel and Andrew making a move first.
So we bought the tickets to Definitely Maybe and chilled out at Heeren's NYDC while waiting for the time to speed by us. In between the slurps of Lemon Shiver and bites of Ugly Cake, I got to know Jasmin and Germaine a little better.
5 minutes into the conversation with Jasmin and it was evident that she's by far the most candid person I've known. Honesty was so thick in her speech I could cut it with a knife! For me it was both shocking as well as refreshing to being spoken to in such forthright manner, especially for someone you've just met.
I did talk to Germaine too and boy was it a real challenge. I could barely make out what she was saying as she was a softspoken person, drowned out by the ambient symphony of indistinctive chatter.
It's one of the few times I'd wish that there's subtitle in real life. LOL!
However the auditory obstacle neither diminished not warped my perception of her friendly humor in the least. She's definitely someone you can spend laughing your life away with.
Before we know it, time did flew by us, Thomas was sitting beside me and was finishing my Lemon Shiver! LEECHER!
Maybe it was Wanyi's foul smell that droved Jasmin to leave for home (Usually she smells worse. LOL! KIDDING ON THE WHOLE ODOR THING!!!), but on the bright side, we had Ken, Germaine's friend to join us for the movie in Jasmin's stead.
The movie was everything it's said to be. Funny, romantic, and too long! A perfect movie to watch on those gloomy Sundays when you're all alone.
Be my April?
With Gimo, Wanyi, Dom and Thomas's Muah Trip on the day after, everyone parted ways shortly after the rolling of the credits and left for home.
P.S. I really need to blog more frequently.
