Oooh, it's 2006 :)

I'm excited at a brand new year, for reasons I can't really fathom :p

The morning was noisy. Didn't understand why until I opened the door and saw teenagers in uniform crossing the overhead bridge in hordes into the school - a new term! If I had just waited ten more minutes, I would have heard them sing the National Anthem too..

mf has been busy the past weekend, busy having a great deal of fun! Now read and be envious. No, be jealous :p (Except for one part.. Read on..)

No happening Fri for me but at least I had some much needed sleep cos when I woke at 730am on Sat, I was to stay awake for the next 23hours. But of course, I had no idea then..

You know I watched Narnia on Sat am, you know about the downpour on Sat pm. I shall fast forward to the night.

30min before I left the house, Sito warned me that the crowd would be young, 18-25. So we belonged to the, um, upper echelons? :p True enough, we saw enough xiao mei mei and xiao di di to feel old. And I was towering over those little things, who, I told Na, were most probably at their max height *.*

Anyway the place was half filled at best lor, no sucker would ever pay $35 at the door for this! Later MC announced it cost only $25 but no, we spent only $10 each on vodka cos entry was complimentary to pretty girls!! No la, I had this e-mailer.. Heh heh.. Still, we ARE pretty!

They had a breakdance performance just before midnight, with a minister squatting in front of the barriers between the stage and the dance floor - cos this event was organised or sponsored by PAYM :p

We were at a vantage point right behind the barriers and man, were we surprised when mini fireworks exploded like 2m in front of us at the stroke of midnight! Music got better after the countdown but we decided that MS was probably better and we ditched the kids..

Eh, flash back to Narnia, cos I suddenly remember the scene where Mr Beaver said to Mrs Beaver, who was looking at the floor while brushing her fur on the way to Aslan's camp, something like, "quit brushing, you're looking great". And she beamed :)

Ok let me continue with the night now.. I resumed with some less pleasant bits. Yes, the dreaded foreign workers!

You know, I've never seen so many of them gathered together before. It was kind of freaky thinking of it now. First, I was waiting for Na and had the misfortune of being in the way of some of these people. I just thought they were taking a break from work. Next, around midnight when we were standing in front of the stage, we saw dozens of them lining the barricades outside, looking into the party space, listening to the hip hop music but amazingly motionless, not a tap of the foot, not a shake of the head, just plain STARING. Then on our way to get a cab for MS, we saw the foreign workers spraying random pedestrians with foam from aerosol cans. In fact some were freak ambush incidents, eg one guy stood innocently near the road with an arm on some railing, and as a girl walked past, he turned his arm to reveal a can and PSSST!

Na and I very soon became targets; Na got it more esp face. She observed that they targeted girls especially. I just signed a petition on Xiaxue's to ban the foam sprays. And it's scary to read her post on the Bangla-foam *.* Go to these links and Na's cos I'm not repeating, but remember to come back to finish reading this! :p Or shift-click..

Side: I wasn't sure if I wanted to use this word - Bangla - cos thought it sounded pretty rude so I refrained when I first heard it six years back from a senior who imitated someone exclaimimg BANGLA! He was just teasing her la.. But now.. Fine, you may call me Singa.. On second thoughts, Singaress, cos I'm female :p

So with dried foam on hair, face and clothes, we arrived at MS to find a $25 cover charge at MW so we moved to Newsroom where her cousin was (shit, forgot his name!), paid $20 - cheapo, saved $5 haha! But hey $5 is also money ok.. :p

We didn't drink a lot but we danced a lot! At one point, DJ offered to be our pole, something about mf and the pole at MW a whole year ago.. YX joined us at 3 plus and we left the place when the lights came on - second time we stayed so long! First was my 25th at MW..

What do people do after dancing a whole night? If they are not too pissed, they eat. We weren't pissed, at all :) But we had to pay for our prata with a long walk cos we couldn't get a cab..

Cousin's friend sent me back at 610am. I slept at 630am. I woke at 1130am. I had ballroom at 3pm, mere 11hours after leaving the dancefloor! Couldn't dance long, my knees had never hurt so much in my life! =(

Fast forward again to Mon, cos this is getting too long..

KLK's first trip to Sentosa!!! :) And it was very very fun! Lovely weather, lovely people :) Though Kok was mean..

1) We were contemplating taking off our tops when it started to get real hot..

Kok to mf: Whatever la, nothing to see what!

=(

2) We were talking about Na's boobs..

Kok to Na: You cannot cut your toe nails ah, view obstructed..
*pause*
Kok to mf: You're thinner than the last time I saw you in bikini *point to tummy*.. But here *point to me chest* still nothing to see la.. You can cut your toe nails easily, can look straight down!

=(

But well, of course I was a bit thinner that day, expended 5-10 calories every time I fetched the ball or the frisbee from far far away! :p We were playing both at the same time, funny cos at some point, some of us will get both at about the same time. I once managed to touch both simultaneously but in the most unflattering pose - teapot! Then Kok's forehead made contact with the flying frisbee, retribution for being mean? :p The amazing thing wasn't that he walked into its path but that after being hit, he looked like nothing happened, like, eh what?! Played a bit of monkey frisbee too, resulting in sand on every bit of my skin and abrasion on my knees.. Then today, I'm aching like never before. I couldn't even turn in my bed last night!

Enough, I'm leaving office now for my Initial D! But before I go, must share a piece of good news to kickstart this great year. It's going to be a great year cos I saw a notice on my way back last night, that UPGRADING WORKS BEGIN 6 FEB!!!!! Yay! My new room and a happier me in the making! :)
