The weekends were great.I took time off on Saturday to spend quality time with people that matters. It was really good ol' fun, we trotting down to Van's house, all geared up to bake a birthday cake for our dear Michelle.
You know this thing they say, about the process being more important than the result? Well, they are so right! We had in mind an Oreo Cheesecake and a brownie and during the baking, we did an Oreo Cheesecake and a brownie. When it came to the end, we had an Oreo (messy+spongy)Cheesecake and a brownie. As you can see, we didn't quite planned for the messy and spongy part.
Peishan was our main Chef, I hope that did make her a little bit happier despite the cake not quite turning out to what she wanted. Because I know Peishan has this little fantansy of being a great chef and wearing a super tall chef hat. So she was there, giving our orders and the rest of us frenzied around, doing different things. In the end she realised that she had nothing to do(because we did everything) except the challenging(read: dangerous and nobody-wants-to-do) job of putting the ingredients into the hot oven and taking the cake out. Poor ps -_-"
We were fooling around in the kitchen and did I tell you that Van's house is like a supermarket? There is so much food that I told Peishan I can stay in this house for a month without starving to death. It was simply great. We sat around, talked nonsense, watched NBA match.. and erm, the rest I couldn't quite remember because I fell asleep on the sofa. haha.
Do you know that you can't tell a prankster just by looking at her face? To be more specific, you have to refer back to her casenote and the doctor's dianogsis. Okay pardon me but I have been in the hospital for 3 months already. What I meant was to tell whether a person is a potential prankster or not, you will have to refer back to her history and any friend's warning.
Why did I suddenly go into that? While I was innocently sitting on Van's sofa, watching NBA, somebody passed me a little toy pig and told me it is something fun. I looked at the person's face, sincere and earnest so I thought, hey why not it should be something fun right. Banking on my trust for her, she asked me to press a silver button on my pig, insisting that something will shoot out from the pig's nose. So I stupidly(and half asleep) did as was told.
.... Thanks to Jasmin SIAO. I got the shock of my life! It seems that the pig is able to electrocute the person pressing it midly. Don't ask me how it works, the toy belongs to Van. So when I got the shock and flung the pig away, the evil Jasmin collapsed into fits of laughter and delight. -_-" Once a prankster, always a prankster. I should have seen it coming! haha but I did kind of beat her up after that so yeah, we are quits.
After the great time at Van's house, we went to cityhall to meet shumin, xintian, cindy, chiteng and mindy. It was an awesome feeling, everyone being present for the outing. We ate at Glutton Square, talked about the past, happiness and unhappiness. When they say there are some things in life that money can't buy(think the credit card advertisement), I get the excatly same feeling when I am with the team.
As I think back to our time in NJ canoeing, the flashbacks are so real to me that it seems almost like a movie. A random yet focused movie about canoeing, the team, and everything intangible. There is this advertisement recently about joining the Navy or Army and they kept asking 'If your life is a movie, would it be a good movie?'. I guess mine would, because of all my teammates that are in it, the colours they splashed on my life, spiced things up. It would be a pretty good movie, really.
Peishan would be black because black is the balance, black is control and black is essential. Michelle would be white, because white is purity and white is serenity. Chiteng would be the red, because red is love and red is passion. Vanessa will be the silver, because silver is unique and silver is irreplaceable. Cindy would be the green, because green is mellow and green is good for me. Rachel would be maroon, because maroon is sensibility and maroon is different. Mindy will be yellow, because yellow is bright and yellow brings joy. Xintian would be purple, because purple is cool and purple is special. Shumin would be blue, because blue is sincere and blue is truthful. Jasmin would be orange, because orange is zest and orange is explosive(haha). Leepeng would be pink I guess, because pink is innocence and pink is bimbotic.
I love my team! :)
On a side note, Blue note(no pun intended) was a tad disappointing that night. The ambiance was a let-down due to a band that was not quite up to mark and a few jokers who were trying to murder us by smoking continuously. The worse thing was my drink sucks. I mean it really sucks. :( I hope the next time I go, things will be better.
I shall end a long post with a brief goodbye. haha
Shitsureeshimasu!
