met tengchi at orchard to tapow dinner to bring to mark's place. almost bought from crystal jade heh, but wasnt v economical so bought KFC in the end hah. we then took a longass walk to mark's place, going past paragon and all. funny, seems farther than i remember. oh wells, had a $2 going on with teng. it was 6.10 then and i told him "ok $2 says at most 3 ppl will arrive before us, mark excluded". and as it turns out, only yp and andrew were there earlier heh. anyways so we proceeded with dinner and missed the starting part of NDP which i think was the Red Lions segment. tried to catch jason on tv, but the darn flag kept blocking his face haha. so with the military parade followed by gaudy albeit perfectly choreographed routines, it was basically the same old same old. my favourite part is when they start singing all the community songs and the theme song for that year. in this case, it was My Island Home, performed by Kaira Gong. at that instant i always feel super patriotic haha. to the extent that i was telling yp "ok man let's go invade some neighbouring country". however this brilliant idea was quickly shot down in flames by teng who remarked that it wasnt patriotism, but sheer idiocy. shucks, cant win them all i guess.
after that we played taboo for a bit. i was a newbie, but didnt perform all that badly i think. haha taboo is fun as hell. can see the different wavelengths that everyone is on. let's see now, lemme list down the best taboo moments.
Nat - ANGEL - "our friend, not debbie! without the last letter!"
Zhiyang - QUILT - "scottish men wear what?" (haha)
Andrew - PRETZEL - "Auntie Anne sells this" [Mark]"Pringles!"
Teng - CAREER - "One of the 5C's!" (fainted)
Yp - TRENDY - "Joses fashion sense is what!"
hahahaha i can see why taboo is a great game to play in large groups, especially after a couple of drinks where everyone gets all hazy. haha so anyways after that, we headed over to zouk. spent most of the time at phuture. didnt like the music though. much prefer mambo anytime. but it was more about the ppl who were there la. debbie pham came back from the states to join us can! plus the starting drama featuring her and nat haha. i shan't elaborate about that here lest i get whacked by either (or both) of them haha. hahaha oh yes which reminds me, the moment the 2 of them starting dancing together, some guy wanted to dance with debbie pham haha. i was watching on half-amused. then nat said "i dunno whether to leave debbie pham with the guy!" haha. well we were there to have fun right, so i told her to "abandon" her haha. jason was dancing energetically at first. then i think he drank too much or wat he was damn sedated later on. andrew puked everything out, or so i heard. as for nat she was high, damn obvious, but somehow she was still very conscious. so anyways throughout the night i basically floated in and out of mambo periodically to check out the music. but it was damn crowded everywhere lar. cant do anything sigh.
oh well, shall go back again to enjoy a full mambo night haha. managed to obtain a few more songs whee.
