I've definitely had a better workweek than most of you dogs out there, especially since for me work was actually only done from Monday to Wednesday! Oh yeah!
A sight I've seen often but never did capture.
Thursday started off at 2pm for me at Swissotel at Raffles City. The meeting room which I was supposed to show up was hidden amongst other rooms tucked along a quiet corridor. Finding it took the better part of a quarter of an hour.
Didn't I mention I was 'volunteered' to do fatigue (An euphemism for shite) work for the then coming 39th ALO Dinner.
A ponderous thought though, how can anyone be volunteered by anyone else? Warped is the word that comes to mind.
Whatever.
So in I went into the room with a nod of acknowledgment from the guy that sat himself outside, to be greeted by faces that filled with boredom as I found myself a place to sit down and subsequently whipped out my trusty o'Hellgate story book and read it. For the second time.
Which cam whore can resist taking a photo such as this?
More people starting to stream in from time to time, with none of the face too familiar until Zhua Long (Paper bag in Hokkian) came along. So we bitched about our respective workplace abit before Davin and Freddy hit the scene.
Catching up is second nature next to sleeping in such situation and so we made the best of the half of an hour, chatting and bantering, before the actual briefing started.
No, we're not a boyband.
The briefing went blar blar blar blar blar... Not really worth mention especially after seeing its futility in retrospect.
And around 5pm give or take, we're released from our slavery. Freddy was nice enough to offer me a ride in his gorgeous white Jazz complete with red and black leather interior, to Bukit Batok for my dental appointment. The first dental visit since what, Secondary school? Hahahaha...
Only to visually realise along the way that the dental clinic was at Bukit Gombak. I am the essence of forgetfulness.
It was anything between 5 to 30 minutes of pure pain. Pain for this matter has a way of altering my perception of time for most, rendering what lasted only mere seconds to somewhat bordering on forever. Or vise versa.
The house of pain.
I layed down on the dentist chair like a docile dog, at the same time unable to take my eyes off this gorgeous chick cum assistant, awaiting my fate at the hands of the cruel dentist.
Bits of my gum flew along with drops of blood onto the face shield of dentist as I whiten my knuckles through the grip on the arm rest of the chair.
Just when I reached my threshold for gore and pain, it was over and I had whiter teeth! But my wallet was $50 bucks thinner when I left the joint. Why do I even have to pay to be inflicted such pain? Grr...
Look at the teeth and not anywhere else you pervert.
Mouthwash or industrial strength floor cleaner? Looks more like the latter if you ask me.
The day continued on with dinner with Dom and Wanyi at town, at Cineleisure's Hongkong cafe that in my opinion, we've frequent too much. And to make things even worse, Wanyi was approached by the manager for her number which she gave, and without much hesitation might I add, only for me to find out from her that she gave him her old unsubscribed number. Tough luck, dude.
A dancing giraffe. Something that'll put a wide grin to her face.
Us losers. Again.
The chow. So terrible that I'll pay even more not to eat them.
Act cute or what!?
I know you can't help but get turned on. So fuck off.
Popeye faced and looking like a drug addict.
Caught in the act?
Stomaches filled but the night far from over, we took Dom's ride and head for Bukit Timah area for some pool. It's been way too long since we've last played ball. With so many things that's ever changing in mind, our skill, or lack of it, was unfortunately constant. The balls seem to be going everywhere 'cept where we want them to be.
Arbish.
Trying to be artsy here.
She's so bad it, she laughs at herself.
Jianwei: Hrm... Where does this ball goes?
Dom: Wah nubshite you need a map or something to place them properly arh?
Real man looks fierce while playing pool. Like in this picture.
Pussies on the other hand looks like this. HAHAHHAHA! Kidding o'boy don't burn me house down.
Thus with a scroll, too many minutes of reading and you've been through my wonderful Thursday.
But wait, the Friday's even better!
P.S. Neither me nor Wanyi actually smokes. 'Nuff said.
FUNKED IT ALL UP ON 5:50:00 PM
