Yawn yawn. Damn tired. The Monday blues effect is at its peak today. It has been a damn power weekend for both me and matt. Shall try my best to give a full account of all the events. Wahahaha. Here it goes.

Friday: met matt at bugis after work. He took his phone to the nokia care centre for upgrading and repair. After that, we went to the shop houses opposite bugis junction to have dinner. During dinner, matt asked me if I wanted to go jb on sat cause alvin smsed him in the afternoon, asking us to go in and drink cause the beer there very cheap. And matt liked the idea since it was his long weekend, he dun want to stay at home doing nothing. So we were deciding whether to go or not to go and we finally decided to go in as matt seldom have any to have long weekend. After dinner, we went to buy strawberry strudel for my momo and popo and went home. matt stayed at my house for awhile before going down to MU to join his zhu peng gou you. : (

Sat: Went to office to zo bo. Chris did not come, so I was alone. Spent the whole day msn-ing. Haha. Eq called me in the morning and complained that she felt very left out. We did not include her in our Thursday night activity.
EQ: As I have explained over the phone, the dinner was a surprise. Matt arranged this dinner with alvin in the afternoon. But he told me the dinner was with leroy. I only knew the truth when I reached the kopi tiam. And the karaok was a last minute thing and as it was already 11+ at that time, we were not sure the ktv is still open. We actually decided to try our luck. If it is open, we will sing. If not, we will probably end the day there. Please do not think that we left you out on purpose. You are still our sis, and we will definitely stand by you when you need us. We know you are busy with school and stuff and we never blamed you for not being able to join us. But we will not cancel a gathering if you cannot make it. We will wait till you have the time, then we can all go again. So please do not get upset, okie??
I stayed in office till 2 and went home. Initially the plan was that I go collect mattts phone after work. But the person told us we can only collect the phone after 4 and when I called to check whether the phone is ready, there is no answer. So I went home to bathe and pack 1st. I reached home at 3, and by the time I got ready, it was 4.30 already. I met matt at bugis, and we went to collect the phone and changed some rm. By the time we finished everything, it was already 5+. And we were thinking how to go in cause if we take train to kranji and take bus and everything, we think we will reach jb at nighttime. So I suggested that matt call adrian. But that malaysian, dun even know that we can book a car to go in M. and he is a M some more. Luckily matt called alvin and we found out that we can take a cab to M in lavender. So off we went to lavender and we booked a car for S$50 to go from singapore all the way to new york hotel. Power and alvin has reserved a room for us already. The driver drove really fast because we told him to get us there in the shortest time. And he was really very skilful, especially when we were at the causeway. The causeway was damn packed and jam. I have never been stucked in such a bad jam before. But the driver managed to cut here cut there. While at the M custom, the bloody M officer dun let me in. Cause he said that my photo is not updated and dun looks like me. Of course lah. What he expect?? The photo was taken when I was in sec 2 leh. Anyway, he gave me a warning to go change my photo and we reached new york hotel at 6+. Happened to see power and alvin at the lobby. So we quickly checked into the hotel and got ready to meet them for dinner. Initially, power told us they already made reservation for dinner. It was a seafood buffet. But when they went to rackey the food, they saw that there were only prawns, and no lobster or oyster that were in the poster. So we decided to cancel the reservation and we went for kelong seafood. This time, we went to the restaurant beside the one we usually ate for a change. We had sweet sour crabs, big head prawn, yi pin guo, calamari, gailan, some shell thing that looks like mussel (dunno what that is called) and man tou. The food was good, but I prefer the other reataurant. I think the food there taste better, especially the man tou!! After the dinner, we went to have durians. The durians very power also. After the durians, we went back hotel to rest and get changed for a power cheong night.

We went to this disco called NY Club, got ourselves a table and a bottle of martell. Seems like a long long time since I drank martell. Haha. And the aim of the night is bu zui bu gui. Wahaha. There were a lot of bibis there and they all danced funnily. Something like how the people at orchard towers danced, but not so jia lat. The music there was good initially. But later it changed to r & b songs and their R&B songs were very slow. Power and I had a hard time trying to dance to the slow beat. But with the aid of the martell, we slowly got into the mood. So we were dancing away and the man were drinking away. We went to the dance floor to dance for awhile and when we came back, I saw 4 cups of vodka neat on our table. Wahaha. So we tah the vodka neat and continued dancing and drinking. After awhile, the dj announced that the tequila pop is going off at 6rm for 3 minutes. And I told power: 6rm = S$3. Damn damn cheap!! And power said she if she drink the pop, she confirm she. But it was too late, cause I saw my dear dear went to talked to the waiter and not long after, we have 4 cups of pop on our table. Wahaha. After the pop, we drank more martell cause we wanted to finish the whole bottle. No point keeping the bottle as we will not be going there again. Power and I went to the dance floor again and this time we danced on the podium. Wahaha. And we drank and danced and danced and drank and giggled and giggled. Before 3, the whole bottle of martell was gone and power and I were damn sehh. And the power phrase was: mei you momo!! mei you momo!! mei you fofo!! mei you fofo!! And my power sis danced till her shoe strap came off. So we decided to leave the place. (Memories from this part onwards were all abit hazy) And when we were walking to the hotel, power took off her shoes, threw it away and walked bare footed. And according to matt, I went to picked it up for her and passed it to her and she threw away again. And I picked up for her again. And we were making a damn lot of noise. The guys wanted to eat supper so we went to the carpark and while alvin went to take his car keys. And the whole carpark was filled with our noise. We took a lot of photos and some videos. They were damn funny. Wahaha. Once in the car, I was feeling nausea. So alvin stopped halfway and I went to puke at a big drain. And while I was puking, power went to puke also. and we were still giggling and suaning each other while we puked. We went up the car and halfway, we were stopped by the M polis. They wanted us to show them our passports else they will bring us back to the polis station. But our passports were all in the hotel. Actually they just want money. So matt gave them 150rm and they went away. After the polis incident, I went to puke again and on the way back to the car, we saw matts friends. I puke a total of 3 times. the 3rd time was outside the hotel and by the time we reached hotel, power knocked out already. once I reach our room, I went to the toilet to puke again and matt has to carry me to bed, and I knocked out completely.

Sun: woke up with a terrible headache. Matt went to buy panadol for me but after taking the panadols, I felt like vomitting again. So I slept again and took a hot shower and felt better. After that, we started packing our things to check out of the hotel. I saw my face on the mirror and got a shocked. I look like momo. so I quickly put on some make up and went to the lobby to meet power. They have already checked out and were waiting for us. Sorry sis, I know you have waited for quite some time but I was in slow motion and I was really feeling terrible. After we checked out, we went to have lunch. We had bah kut teh, claypot chicken, tau pok, you tiao, xian cai and wan ton mee. We did not finish everything cause I think we are all having a hangover, so not much appetite. But we drank a lot of soup. The soup was nice. After eating, we left without paying, like the baba ica kachang. Wahaha. I think only in M, then we can get to eat ba wang can. After lunch, we went to look for a solon to colour our hair. We went to a salon at holiday inn, where power and I had our hair coloured and high lighted and the guys went to have message. The whole process was very long. We were in the salon for 4 ��� 5 hrs, I think. Luckily I can still chat and gossip with power. By the time we were done, it was already night time liao. And we went to this ulu restaurant to makan, where the guys claimed they knew the owner at the message spa. But both me and power are a little suspicious of their story. Hmmm. After the dinner, we headed back to singapore while singing new york new york!!
