wmp: nicole scherzinger, baby love

last monday i left my beloved water bottle behind at the office. and then, it was a week before i saw it again today.

the past week had been swell...

tues to thurs - the smc gathering
i arrived at the nsrcc in the evening after an hours train trip to tanah merah. they were getting ready for the bbq while it drizzled. things got started with the one dollar auction. i had my eye on the ambitious ombinus by daryl but so did another guy. and then uncle bob took the night away with his cups and balls, shell game and three card monte. i nearly squeaked out loud when he was doing a card trick and went "i know your card is a black card and it is the number eight, so..."(or smth close to those lines) and a black no.8 pool ball fell from up his nose!

decks and decks of cards were lieing all over close up pads on the tables(i wonder what the treasure hunting kids who came over that night asking for a green plastic bag thought of the sight). we had some sharing sessions. and then poker, blackjack, and vodka in the late nights with all the cheating with cards. and then came the second night when enrico came. he is probably the best at what he does man. from ropes to coins and cards. i enjoyed his performances and sharing thoroughly and look forward to seeing him again.

thursday evening i met up with jj at botak jones at clementi on my way back from the chalet for dinner...

i think i transformed from something of a muggle to a more enlightened being after those two whole days of nothing but cards...

friday - my 20th birthday
people from the cmrc came over. for half the day we played football, tennis, basketball and then water frisbee. charades and pictionary were hilarious la. eventually the bbq got started and the candles blown with the knife down on the cake. and then somewhere after the group photo i felt an evil consensus to dump me in the pool. i thought what the heck i'd just give some kind of a struggle and then just let them do what they must. it's been a long time since i was thrown into the pool.

we had hell of a good time.





i'd like to thank everybody for the birthday wishes be it belated anot. being the fuckin sentimental guy i am, your smses will probably follow me through the year.

saturday
i woke up from the aftermath of the day before with a sore back, legs and right forearm(from the tennis i guess) and lazed around the entire day.

sunday - the beach
i was pretty worn out by the week.

it had been awhile since we headed to the beach. always great to meet up with the usual bunch! i wished i didn't have to go to work the next day. in the evening breeze i wished i had a beer with me.

we had dinner at the superdog and started lookin' intensely at coins and 2 dollar notes before calling it a night.

monday - sick leave
i woke up to the alarm and decided to call in sick. in the evening relatives came over for yet ANOTHER bbq. that's the third one in a week!

tuesday - today
things were the same in the office - andrew sleeping, samuel sleeping, bryan on the psp, if not whining about how i always look like i'm gonna die, jake sleeping, if not eating, and i'd be walking around with a card trick. wahaha.

jj mentioned that beowulf was just okay. i thought about it for a while and kinda agreed. i guess i tend to get too excited about a movie and then hype it up too much so if i say it's 'fuckin awesome', chances are, it's just okay

i was reunited with my water bottle.
