Friday, Saturday & Sunday

It has been a tiring three days for me. It all started on Friday. Well I wanted to get out and have some fun as I have been feeling down recently. I needed to get out and just do what I can. Get myself drunk, get knock down by a car, jump into a river & indulge in sex and drugs...anything man!!! I just didn't care what I was going to do.

Alamak… for those who know me...know I am bullshitting outright. However, the part of going out to enjoy is true so here is an account of what happen.

Well on Friday I met up with some great choice friends. We decided to proceed to TCC to have some sumptuous dinner. Well some of you may disagree on this but one man's meat is another man's position. I had Spaghetti Prawn Aglio Olio. I would recommend it to anybody. Trust me ok? There were some light hearted conversations and it became a bit loud later. It is inevitable when a bunch of crazy friends meet up. Guess we really know how to enjoy ourselves.

Next we adjourned to Highlander at Clark Quay. It is one of my favourite chill out pubs. It plays songs from the 80's. There were a group of Americans there that day and the band was catering to them. What great hospitality. The rest of us were trying to sing to the songs that were being played. I think a karaoke session should be planned and we can make a fool out of ourselves. Sounds fun right?

Well we left before 12am...sheeshhh...it was one of my shortest stay at Clark Quay but then again I had to wake up the next morning for another long outing.

Well here comes Saturday. Oh man had to drag myself out of the bed. Luckily my mother woke me up. I met a good friend of mine at around 10am and headed to down to watch Angels & Demons and Nightmare At The Museum 2. The two shows were pretty awesome shows eventhough the genres for the two shows were different. After the shows, I followed my good friend to HMV. I tell you, I think I am getting old. Can you imagine I was telling her that the direction to HMV was towards Borders. What's up with me, man!! Guess age is catching up with me or is it my mind is not with me. Only the owner only knows which I do not feel like revealing it. Anyway, I would write about the movies it my later entries.

Lunch was at TCC. Yup TCC again!!! I am kind of getting to like TCC. Would it replace my favourite coffee outlet, Coffee Bean? Hmmm....have no answer to that at this very moment but like what they say why have one when you can have both. I am so greedy.

In the evening, I headed down to Vivo City to meet another good friend. Why is it that I have so many good friends but no life partner yet. Have to scrutinize this phenomenon thoroughly. Am I so unattractive? It could be that I am weird hence my blog title but then would it not be good to be with somebody who is weird. A stereotype relationship is just boring. It is like not having any creative in bed when it comes to sex. Yawn!!!! Boring!!!!

Well back to the Saturday outing, I met my friend for dinner because I asked her out to have dinner ( Obviously there is a reason right, if not meet me for what.). She makes a good dinner mate by the way, We have the same taste buds and she can guess what I would order. Usually, a person has to know me very well in order to guess what I would order. She could do this despite that the outing is only our second dinner outing. Cool right??? Coollll Righttttt?????

Oh never mind. Initially, we attended to go to Hog Breath Cafe but she wanted something outdoor so we changed our eating venue. I have to admit as a man I should be the one leading the lady to the dining venue however the roles were reversed because I intend to get lost at Vivo City. I stay at the east. Seldom go to Vivo City. Good excuse right for getting lost. So as usual I got lost in Vivo and she had to show me where the good eating restaurants were. It was kind off embarrassing. Luckily she did not mind. Serious!!! She did not mind!!! I am telling you the truth!!! Anyway I got to hand it her. She is really good in finding restaurants.

We finally found the eating venue that she wanted to eat. Well, basically, we were pretty hungry so settled with one that had good ambience. The name of the restaurant was called The Mussel Guys. We ordered two kinds of Mussels. The Brazilian Stewed Mussels and the Spicy Mussels. I would recommend the Spicy Mussels. For those who know me, they should know how picky I am when it comes to food. So if I say that the Spicy Mussels are good, they are good. Garpish!!

Next we ordered lamp chops. The standard of the lamb chops were not something to brag about. It was alright but it was not something that would salivate your taste buds.

As the night withered away, we made good conversation. A lot of unpleasant issues were aired out. She helped me to look at other perspectives of the issues that I have been facing. Still pondering about it. Unfortunately we could not seat at the restaurant too long. Well we did ask the manager just to let the two of us seat there until the next morning. His answer was of course a blunt no!! Hey but just imagine if his answer was yes, it would surely make our day. The atmosphere was windy and the ambience was very nice. So sad we had to leave it. Oh well, can return right? Unless the lord decides that the end of the world is at hand.

We headed to a nearby pub to have some beers and then we departed company. Our next eating outlet would be Brotzeit which I heard had good sausages. Will write up that outing after we visit the place.

On Sunday, I had to wake up early for church. I had to attend the 10.30am mass as I had a Choice training session to attend to. I was pretty surprise that I could wake up at 9.00am without my mother blasting my room amplifier to wake me up!!! Anyway, the sermon was bloody short. It was an irony that the topic was on Communication as it was Communication Sunday but the priest had not much to communicate about except for reciting the same old mundane tune about the good and evil aspects of communication and how communication devices could be used to spread the "good news" of Jesus Christ.

I was pretty excited about attending the Choice training session. It was the first time attending such training and I could also be among my fellow Choice mates!! Pretty cool mates who can bring the house down.

Training was an eye opener to me. It made me realise that it was not easy to reach out to people and help them. It has back fired on me sometimes. I recently had one and gosh what an painful experience it was. However, it is personal and I will not elaborate on it. Alot of people try to help other people on their own terms but not on the terms of those that they are helping. I have realised that in my future helping of people, I would not search for a solution but to guide those that I am helping to recognise their problems and ask the Lord to help them find the solution to their problems.

During the training I also read a topic about us recognizing that we were God's children and how this would affect our significant others. I would elaborate this on my next blog entry. After the training, we went to a nearby neighbourhood restaurant to have our dinner. The food was good and I had crabs. Our table consisted of the most hype choice members, therefore our table was the noisiest and messiest table of all!!!!

pictures of us eating!!!


My friend and me had the honour of being offered a lift back by a well know personality in Singapore. I won't mention the name here so people too BAD!!!! THE SECRET IS ONLY FOR ME TO KNOW AND FOR YOU TO FIND OUT!!!

Well it is getting late. Have to go to bed. Hope you will like what you have read as this is my first time blogging. Ciao!!
