On this second day of new year...
...Hello! I'm blogging on this 2nd day of 2006 because it seems like a trend to blog about milestone events like New Year, Christmas, Bdaes etcetc etc... so... just to emphasize my apparent lack of originality...
...and I did not blog on 1st Jan 2006 itself because I was still recuperating from Engsiang in da' house 2... which rocked! Gatherings with Pet, Es, Estelle, Zhuang, Chris, Serene, Shloke always end up to be drinking sessions, playing various games which are actually all different versions of 'truth or truth' and forcing ourselves to stay awake through the night and wee hours of the mornings... but really, if you asked me, it's the company. I feel so much happier when all of them are back, so much more familiar, comfortable, real.
Highlights of the day:
I met Es' Chinese tutor and in the 15 minutes I was in her car, I've heard Es speak more Mandarin than all the years I've known him added together and I've spoken more Mandarin than I have in the past three months.
Chris and I arriving early at Es' place to help with the food. I was sacked from my duty of scooping out pasta sauce while Chris' chief function was to hold Es' medicine.
Zhuang suggesting that the theme shall be 'retro' just one hour before the party, and winning the best dressed awards hands down because he was the only one who bothered to adhere to the theme.
Making comments about Zhuang's flowery retro shirt, which resembled everything from things uncles to grandmothers would wear.
Chris the nutcracker - and all our other botched attempts to use the nutcracker.
Zhuang's 'Deadly Concoction' - Drinking races between Zhuang and Pet.
Talking about whether the Yuan is undervalued at 2am, to which Es' Dad's response was, ' Were you all really talking about the Yuan before we got back?'
It was an amazing night, reminiscing about the past, all the silliness, the laughter, the fun. I hate to say this, but I think I actually missed being 'suan-ed', now that I think of it. I'm thankful I had the chance to talk to some people, heart to heart. :)
The 1st of Jan seemed like any other day. This is late, but Happy 2006. :)
