Christmas eve was hell lot of fun!!! It was like a girls night out. Fantastic!! Thanks nat, maria, manda, ling fang and pearl. You guys really made my holiday come to a Great end.

It was fabbity fab fab!! Its been ages since I went out with girls. I usually hang out with hanis. Well, he is de ‘closest of them all’ now. So it was a very nice change to go out with those noisy bunch!

Actually, it wasn’t suppose to be a girls outing. De s5 was suppose to come but something croppd up. And they couldn’t. we were suppose to meet at 6 at somerset. Man it was packd. Met pearl first. She came at ard 530. She was out with her other friends before that. Then ling fang came. De three of us were wearin murky green bottoms. Pearl’s jean, ling fangs short skirt while mines long. I mean de skirt. Nevermind.

Oh yah.. and I saw shila, my pimary school friend who im still in touch with.

Nat and manda were late. Maria, very late. So we decided to walk ard first walkd from somerset to orchard. It was damn funny. Went out from de station, saw tis really cute van, all tied up like a christmas prezzie. I took a photo of it. Then we walkd on and saw a kimono dressd lady near de 7-11. It was weird. And I took a photo again. The other 2 monkeys said that I lookd like a tourist. Fine. We walkd towards taka, there were lots of people by 6plus in town and we startd all tis crap bout durian! Durian. Of all stuf. It startd when ling fang said that she wishd that she was carryin durians so people will make way for her and then she can walk properly without knockin into them. Then pearl said to put it in a bra so people cant knock into you. I added that by sayin that you have to put on de butt as well so they cant hit you from de front and de back, and you had to walkd in a very snobbish kinda style, whereby your boobs and butts really protrudes out.. (reminds me of haziq.) we kept laughin and talkin bout durians like nobodys business. Well, that’s true. It was nobodys business. Anw, we commented on people and stuf. Saw de cars outside I don’t know whad hotel but theres an esprit shop under it. (under it??) nvm that. Anw, we saw some band playin reggae-ish musics. That caused a human jam. And saw mashrufah and her boy just beside me and pearl goin de opp side. Then there were these tents set up and were depictin de story of christmas and stufs. I think. But there were dressd up peeps. And I told them that we’re gonna take photos with them as a group. Was so tempted to take photo with tis bearded guy. Wantd to have a shot with him, and me pullin his beard. Heh..

Touchd down at orchard station. Manda came at ard 7 and so did nat few minutes after. Oh yah.. wantd soo badly to do stoopid stufs. You know de mac near de station? Theres a glass pane dividin de shop and de walkway towards de station. And in de mac, directly in facin de walkway was a counter. There were a few boys sittin there, just starin and those passin by. I soo badly wantd to tease them!! Wantd to just walk normally and then very suddenly, just give a blur look directly in front of their face! That will sooo go0d!! but we didn’t do it!!!! So sad.

It was so funny, we kept getting excited over other stufs (like de teasin thingy, for me) that we couldn’t decide where to eat! De topic of “so where for dinner?” was kept interrupted by de other fascinatin stufs that we had in mind. In de end, we went to far east. On de 2nd floor, nats primary school friend recognised her and we stoppd to let them change numbers and stufs. tis mat was actually with his friends and one of them was MY primary school friend, aliff! (and was my first too. Was nothin though. Well, hanis saw him before. Im not in denial.) I wasn’t wearin my specs then. Then I saw de Guy I was crazily in love with!!! He was with them!!! Was feelin awkward.. calld out aliffs name and he saw me. Askd him whad was he doin there and whether he was just roundin. He said no la.. a little bit of roundin only. And then I was like yalah.. that’s roundin la. (all these were in malay so I translated them to as close as de meanin) then I walkd away. To my chinese friends and tryin to act cool since de Guy is still there. (nat was still not done) but after she was done, we made our way up to de 4th floor to have dinner.

I already had a bulgin tummy that I kept whinin about. Cant help it. De whinin I mean. De rest kept tellin me to eat more and that I was damn skinny. I think. Then de anorexic and bullimic talk startd and other stufs such as school, basically poly life. It sounds so bad to be in poly. And they have many excitin and interestin tales. Esp about their teachers. Funny, we, actually pearl to be specific, was talkuin really loudly. Till a point that someone said shh!! But I guess she couldn’t hear over her mega-loud voice. But nat and me certainly did. And afterwards, de other 2 monkeys did too. Pearl was oblivious man. Anw, I shared a 4 bucks plate of fried wantons with nat. de sauce was tasted urgh! But I dip those chunks of deep fried wrappd up thingies into de weird sauce and let it went down my throat. Actually, it wasn’t that bad la.
I was quite full before that. De other 3 monkeys ate noodles. And monkey ling fang, thank god she didn’t scratched her head - savin us de lice, kept repeatin that her noodles was spicy. “this is hot” was all I think that she said. She was kinda quiet through out de whole outing. Very reserved. Maybe was savin de bergy for de overnight.

Yes, we were suppose to stay overnight at pearls. Oh! But wait.. ling fang didn’t overnight. Hmm.. guess she was tired.

Anw, we met monkey maria on level one. She was hungry. Sigh.. de other monkeys went to engrave rings while me and nat bring monkey maria to es teler 77. Didn’t know it existed in far east. De mixed-something was nice. Had jackfruit and coconut in it. Wantd to taste their banana dish but there wasn’t any then. Got to know bout de banana on suria. Hey, how coincidental. De monkeys and de banana. *laughs* maria couldn’t have her avocado juice either. She lookd worn out. *laughs* well, she didn’t sleep, that’s why! Apparently her sis left on xmas eve, that was why she was late – sent her to airport, and stayd up de whole night talkin I guess. And de eyes. Looks tired. From lack of sleep. And I think from cryin as well. Even though, it doesn’t sound like maria then.

The other monkeys had quietly made their way to wisma. We had to go there and catch them. And they were drunk. Found them beside a VERY BIG beer bottle. Well, it was a balloon beer bottle. Very cute. And thanks to my super eyesight, I can still see them amongst de slackers on de steps, wavin frantically at us. They’re really monkeys. One: it was at night and de dim lights werent of any help. Two: there were many people on de steps. Three: these monkeys think they were very huge. And so they sat somewhere near a corner and startd wavin. Already ‘huge’ as they are, they sat on de 2nd lowest step, partially covered by de chairs of de nearby stall. Monkeys.

We made our way to de walkways where it seems like ants were busy doing their duties. It was jammd packd with singaporeans. Mostly. De moment we startd our ‘pilgrimage’ to where de tents that I had wantd to take photos was, we were ‘showered’ by man made snow. Instead of de heavenly thank yous, nat startd shriekin and cursin. De rest in tow, shirekd as well. It was damn funny. Esp lookin at nat. you can expect a “fuck!” evrytime someone near us startd sprayin de bottles of manmade snow. There were lots of people sprayin ard. That was when I realised whad de sprayin bottles was for. Cause I saw a few guys carryin it from de mrt station, thinkin that it was for some indoor party. Whad it was for was… for singaporeans to enjoy themselves and spray each other till they were covered in foams and stringy bits! It was very very very good! You can see people sprayin other people. Just anyone who startd sprayin, will get sprayd back by others. For example, me. Stooooopid fools. Those monkyes too. Actually, I greatly think that it startd from maria. She said her bottle cant work. Then when It does, I was de first to get it. Since I was direclt in front of her. Then, all de other monkeys startd sprayin and I think some other peeps. But then, de jokes on her!!! She gets sprayed and then everyone whos near her and those walkin by startd shootin her like mad!! She had to slouch to prevent her face from getting it. She lookd like de back half of Frosty de snowman. Damn wickd. Took photos. Nat still fuckin around. *laughs*

Reachd de tent but de sprayin never stoppd. Almost every 1o secs, you can hear de sound of sprayin. Or de peeps shriekin. Some enjoyin de festivity. Some like nat. *laughs* tried to take photos but it was tough. De crowd was soo much!!! Managed to get a few though. And I get to pull de beard!!!

We carried on walkin. And then came to a spotless area – de stage. De girls are so0 clean!! But they had already warned not to spray on de stage. Dammit! I was already pretendin to spray them and nat said don’t. I told her I knew. Then monkey pearlyn said that they were too clean and wanted to spray them too! *laughs* very slow monkey. See, we de excos of de council do do crazy stufs. I mean ex excos.

Had tonnes of fun. Suddenly when we were walkin towards wisma, manda suddenly turnd ard in panic sayin that she lost her phone. They went back to de centre of de massive crowd and I taild but then I lookd at de ant-like hustle, I was like “how to get it back?”. And that’s it . no phone for manda. We consoled her and she made a calls and de rest helpd her while I took photos of de overpopulated orchard road. I saw a girl sittin on de high walls and I was temptd to do so. And so, in my long skirt, I climbd and took photos of town. With de christmas spirit ever so high. And I even had a guy tryin to take a photo of me while walkin from down below. I just lookd at him and gave him a friendly smile before I took his. It was such a nice feelin. To have unknown people smilin at you in a joyous mood, takin photos of other happy people. It was truly de spirit of christmas. Or at least, de hols.

Came down and manda was on phone with her mom. On de verge of cryin but she managed to hold it back for a mere few more seconds. Or else, de day will be sour. But luckily, she managed to forget about it for awhile and we carried on with de joyous moments. Kinda joyous. We actually ran to paragon to de m1 shop cause of her phone. She terminated her line though. Not sure whad she had to get there from. But on de way there, we went thru de underpass and took photos of us on de walls. Damn funny. Then we continued runnin. Monkey nat kept askin why are we runnin? *laughs* actually, that was after we had reachd de shop to find out that it had already closed. Sheesh. But then, we took photos with some balloon –like rudolph and santa outside de shop. It was kinda embarrassin esp since its beside starbucks (or was it coffee bean?) and theres a table of people lookin at us like we’re some clowns. Well, we’re not! We’re monkeys. Well, not me though.

Anw, I kissd nat under a mistletoe! Wasn’t really a mistletoe. It was just some hung up decorations with dangling bits. Guess where we did that?! Directly in front of de escalator!! In public. Yes, in public. We’re promotin de gay rights. Hah!

Then we I-do-no-know-why we ran to I-do-not-know-where and found a christmas tree in de centre of paragon. And there was red walls and nat decided to take photos. And I snoggd her again. Very fun. Not de snoggin la. I basically thought de first one was bad. I mean de photos. Didn’t really show, unless you zoomed on it. And still I wasn’t quite satisfied. Hence, I told nat, next year we will perfect our kiss. Mua mua muah…

I’d rather snoggd hanis you know. More romantic. Ha….*dreamy*

Well, then we parted after some how again, we ran. But not before we took some more photos in front of a crystal christmas tree. Monkey maria wantd to. I guess we were runnin ard because we were tryin to find de tree. Anw, me and nat made our way to orchard mrt station. It was like goin into de jb. But we managd to run and squeezed ourselves thru de pack. They had some detour kinda stufs at de entrance nearest to us so we had to go to de other side and enter. Whad they made actually was a one way kinda thing. And my ez link shit me, even though I prayd for my card to still have value, and I had to share it with someone in front of me after a minute cause I was like a milestone away from de machine. Anw, we just kept on runnin and nat said her line “why are we runnin?” and then we walkd. After that we stard skippin when we were goin towards de nel platform. Damn stupid la. And nat met her friend. We talkd on de journey home and lookd at de pics taken.

I panickd. Don’t know where to drop at since I didn’t tap my card and was scared to get found out. So droppd with nat since she said there a machine within de boundary. Sure enough there it was. But it shit on me when it stated that it can only deposit de change of $1 back. Sheesh. So had nat to tap out first and top up my card for me. Still, I couldn’t tap on my side. And nat had to help me tappd on de entrance side. Stupid me then tappd again, now on my side. And walkd thru but because I tappd again de blockade came down and whammd me on my waist, before bouncin back open. I was tryin to not panickd since de control staion was just a few metres away. So I had to tahan my pain and just kept sayin pain pain pain and groan before I can rubbed my side and ease de pain. Monkey nat wasn’t payin much attention to me then. I bet she had other stuffs on her mind then since we were meetin nizam. When I reachd in front of nizam and kinda out of sight from de control station, I began rubbin my bone profusely. And then sensin de tension and silence, I excused my self and told them that they need not need to send me to de bustop anymore. I’ll make it. I will survive!!… ouch.

Oh and guess whad? I get that whammin for nothin cause I had to deduct 4ocents yesterday because de control officer said that I didn’t tappd out on my last train ride. Punktart.

Thanks monkeys for de day. It was memorable. I was in really great need of companies. Having girls around was always full of giggly and bitchy conversations. I truly enjoyed your companies. And monkey maria, whad you said was really heartwarmin. Its never too late. I guess I never truly treasure you guys till im in deep shit and you guys are always there for me. Despite bein in different schools and stufs. Even though we’re always seem so far, we’re all still close at heart. I love you guys. We, de 20o3-2o04 excos is de BEST! Wo0ho0!!!

I really want to meet up again tis new years eve. But I think I’d rather not. Better take care of my dad at home. Hope you guys understand. Well, you guys always do. Thanks, my friends.

Umm.. im still lo0kin forward to meet you guys anytime soon you know. Even when school reopens. Well, I’ll try.

Anw, kinda late to say tis but hey, its never too late for anythin right? So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
