Sleep deprived weekend!

I did not manage to go to the gym for 3 days in a row and I am extremely sleep deprived. Never thought I’d say this, but it was totally worth it. I had a blast over the last 48hours, but I think it will be a long long long time before I attempt something like that again. Old foggies like moi can’t keep up with such a lifestyle! At least not for much longer!

Fri evening was spent having dinner at Sun & Moon @ Central (lovely desserts! mmmmm!) with Fi, June, Pearlyna, WL and joined later by PY. It was supposed to be an impromptu dinner with Pearlyna, but it somehow escalated to a group thingy followed by partying. Again, long story but anyway we went to ChinaOne where we were ‘pampered’ with an endless flow of champagne and hard liquor. It was great fun really. The crowd wasn’t what we are used to (read: not typical velvet crowd) but I guess it didn’t really matter because the music was actually pretty good and we pretty much kept to ourselves and just danced near our table. I am fairly certain we all had a very good time despite perspiring like mad.

I wanted to call it a night at like 3am and head home to sleep but at the cab stand I was somehow or another “persuaded” to go to Sibai Sibai (DON’T ASK! long story) with Jon, WM, June, Pearlyna & Gen to look for ZQ who was there with I don’t know who. We were there for 5min and then went over to Partyworld for KTV. The layout of the place is fucked up. I went to the loo and couldn’t find my way back! Like seriously, I couldn’t find the room we were in! In the end, 2 or 3 of the staff had to help me search the whole place for the correct room. Grrrrrrr …

We finally called it quits at 540am or so … Madness right??? Pearlyna & June shared a cab home, the remaining 4 of us grabbed a cab to Jon & WM’s office to get Jon’s car (which was parked there for 3days already because from Wed night he has been dragged out for drinks and never managed to drive home!) and due to some complicated reasons which I truly did not understand, Jon drove us to WM’s place, then WM got his car and sent Gen home and Jon gave me a lift back. And due to my horrible sense of direction, I kind of directed Jon wrongly, but fortunately he rectified the error in time, and I finally got home at 645am!

The best part is, I only managed to sleep for 3hours and couldn’t sleep anymore! So I was lurking online, only to discover that June and WM couldn’t sleep too! So we all stoned online chatting and planning what time to head down for Jason’s birthday party. June and I were starving and after a long long discussion, WM picked me up at like 2plus, then we went to get June followed by Pearlyna and all headed to Jelita and bought $150 worth of junk food and off we go to Naumi Hotel to join the others who were already there. For those of you who have never been to Naumi Hotel, let me just say that the suite is uber gorgeous and the pool area has a lovely kickass view! Early dinner with the others at Yet Con, super yum Hainanese food and steamboat!

Jason’s party was awesome! We had loads of fun. Nevermind there were many ppl whom we didn’t know, nevermind there were irritating people, nevermind there were buay zi dong folks & ‘dirty people’, and nevermind there were some *ahem* bad behavior by certain people, we pretty much kept to ourselves and we definitely had a brilliant time! Especially playing Indian poker and Kings, super duper funny! And it rocks to have a personal drinker! Muahahahha! Can play the games “in peace”.

By 4am I was pretty much half dead and decided that I absolutely needed to head home and crash. This time I didn’t give wrong directions to Jon because he didn’t bother asking for any at all heh heh!!

So that was how I spent my last 48hours. Am feeling so so so tired today, ended up slacking for most of the day and catching up with my darling girls at Siglap for a bit. I should really try to go to bed before midnight today so I don’t start the work week feeling all tired.

Those keen to check out the photos (none fr Fri night though), please proceed to Facebook. And kindly ignore my scary eyebags, don’t forget I was surviving on 3hrs of sleep!

I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend! =)

so near yet so far

The title is in reference to the weekend. It is round the corner, yet it feels like a million years away.
It has been an incredibly tiring week. Things at work are … not good. It is just crazy busy, stressful, and coupled with numerous other undesirable “little things”, I am definitely not having a good time.

The only fun/social/relaxing thing I did during the week was on Wed. Managed to leave office before 7pm, quick drink and finger foods at Harry’s before catching the much talked about Avenue Q. It was very entertaining, the songs were catchy, and I think everyone in the audience enjoyed themselves very much. If you are contemplating going for it, please do. I assure you it won’t be a waste of money. I have no idea how much the tickets cost, I was sitting like upstairs but the view was good. I am guessing it should be the mid range price tickets, so if any of you are seriously considering going for it but don’t wish to spend too much, I think you won’t need to spend more than $100 for decent seats. Went to Geylang for soya bean after that, except that the place moved and I couldn’t remember exactly where it moved to even though I have been to the new place once. Fortunately I got it right after like erm 2 or 3 guesses, so we only had to do the park-walk-cannot-find-go-back-to-car-drive-park-walk-find cycle like once or twice. Heh heh.

Ok I should go to bed now. I am dead tired. I can feel my head starting to pound. I miss spinning. I hope I get to leave office at 6pm sharp tomorrow and make it for 630pm spin. Hai …

Night all!

Halloween, Birthdays, Good Food, Tiffany, Kickass Weekend =)

This is a little belated, but Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all had a lovely night out

So I went to Novena to meet Fi & WL on Fri after work, had dinner at Bali Thai, then after failing to persuade WL to head down to Velvet tt night, Fi & I went to her place for her to change into her costume before making our way down to Velvet. Fi is a firm believer of being fashionably late, so by the time smoking hot P & WM came to pick us up, we reached Velvet at like 11ish and the crowd outside was MASSIVE. Fortunately we managed to get in without Q-ing otherwise I’d prolly just go home and sleep. I felt really paiseh that WM paid for my cover into Velvet seeing how I only knew him for a grand total of like 20min at that point, so I offered to be the first one to get drinks, and we started off with 2 trays of apple shooters the moment we got into Velvet to join the rest of the peeps. I think these people are all alcoholics. It wasn’t even that long after I got 2 trays, and someone else got another 2 trays of shots, and the drinks never stopped coming the entire night. I think it is terrible that I don’t LOOK tipsy when I already am because people keep saying I don’t look like I drank a lot already but I swear to you guys I could definitely feel the effects of the alcohol but NOBODY seemed to believe me when I said that, so I ended up having to drink even more. URG! And Singapore is seriously getting scarily small, it is amazing how people are connected. Like how WM turned out to be my elder sis’s friend from law school!

It was good fun taking shitloads of photos, drinking shitloads of nasty liquids (except for the yummy lychee martinis JW bought me & Fi!), talking loads of nonsense, and laughing at all kinds of weird shit. And even though we didn’t dance, my feet were aching like crazy by the time I got home because I think we hardly got to sit down at all the entire night! Am definitely getting wayyy too old for this!

I spent the first half of Sat feeling stoned and tired because I got woken up by sms-es and couldn’t get back to sleep. Got some work done, and met a few of the usual Velvet peeps for dinner at Mos Burger before going to Oosh for F’s birthday thingy. Seeing how I overconsumed alcohol the night before, I decided that I should have some discipline and be alcohol free so I had a mocktail while the rest of them continued to indulge in more alcohol. Tsktsk! I was too busy yakking away with people so I didn’t snap any pics, but I am sure more than one persons were snapping away, so I’ll just have to go steal photos off facebook!

Today is my younger sis’s 21st birthday. We had lunch @ Inagiku, then went to the Tiffany @ Raffles Hotel to pick out her pressie. And I ended up getting a necklace for myself as well. Hai!

It has been a long time since I had such an ‘action-packed’ weekend. I feel really bad for neglecting gym, I feel like a big lump of fat for being so slack with my workouts, but I can’t deny that I enjoyed myself very much, so I guess I’ll just have to make up for it by working out harder next week!

Since the Halloween photos are all up on Facebook, I’ll just post some here for the sake of it!
