Friday
I discovered that shopping for furniture is actually a really hard decision making process. First, there’s the look and comfort level of the sofa. Next, comes the choice of either fabric or leather. Then, after that, is the selection of a colour. It may not look so tough now, but when I was at the shop with my parents, surrounded by gorgeous sofas, soft fabrics and square samples in different colours, it did pose quite a challenge for us.
Another thing about furniture shopping is that it’s damn boring! It was fun at the beginning, but as we went from place to place to place, the excitement just died down. Thank god, Sharul was there. He’s a brilliant designer. We finally settled on a sofa and made the purchase. I’m both excited and anxious to see how my room’s going to turn out even though, I’m still peeved by the fact that my room is the only room in the apartment facing the air con units. I’m just such a lucky person.
Saturday
Went to watch Indy before making my way to Qing’s house. Oh! It turns out that Qing lives where my secondary school form teacher, Miss Bong, lives! It took a while for the light bulb to go on. I was wondering why the hell the condo looked so familiar. When Qing and I were about to walk to 7/11, I called Shab out for a little chat since she lived opposite the condo. We had a nice short catch up session.
When Shu Hui finally came, we went up to Qing’s crib. We kept changing movies before we settled on White Chicks. Anyway, we drank and for the first time in my life I got drunk. But i was kind of like a sane drunk, if that makes any sense? Cause according to Shu Hui and Qing, I didn’t do anything insane like prance around in the living room or stand on a chair and proclaim my undying love for Edward Norton. I just swayed my way to the toilet and puked and apparently turned down buttered popcorn! Now, the thing is, I don’t remember doing any of that. I can’t even recollect Qing taking a photo of me. The last thing I remembered was walking towards the couch and telling the both of them that I couldn’t drink anymore cause I was too damn tipsy. And the next thing I knew, it was morning. So it was pretty scary.
Sunday
As a result, I did have a hangover. It wasn’t as exaggerated as the hangovers people get in movies or TV shows. My vision was fine and sounds around me weren’t amplified. But I did however, feel very lightheaded and I kept having these urges to puke. And when I woke up, I could still taste the after taste of the vodka in my mouth. Oh that was bad. This is probably going to be my first and last hangover. Or at least I hope. But whatever the case, I think pubbing totally trumps clubbing. The latter is just too wild!
Monday
Had dinner with the Borneo gang including Ryan who’s leaving on Thursday. It turned out to be damn fun. As Lin would say, it was gossip central! The two biggest scandals came from Ryan and Lin. Gossiping is just so lovely at times. :c)

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
Cause I don’t need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
