Thank you!!
I would like to express my sincere thanks to my ah ba, ed and Lav for their effort in helping me to review my critical reivew essay~ If not for them, my paper can be a below B grade lor, with so many mistakes and unclear sentences. I didnt know what i had tyoed since i did it throughout the night without sleeping on tues morning. Well, i think at least my paper quite presentable after they helped to edit .... but overall whether my essay meets the standard of my tutor's expectations will be another issue... whew~~ thanks manz, give u all each a hug~ *hugz*
Well well now abit of my life.... yesterday, me and my design studio gang went to clarke quay for some drinking/clubbing.... as ying has been wanting it so much hhhaha~~ and last night was ladies night, so we went to "Clinic" and they have free admissions for gals plus 5 free drinks. And the free drinks for the gals contained much more concentration of alcohol than the guys' who paid for them. What a vast vast difference!!! So poor me struggled with the vodka drinks that tasted so bitter... that I had to drink it slowly.... thankfully.... I only drank 3 glasses and gave the rest of the coupons to one fren. Though I think i am sober, I felt super heaty and "sae" (shag in hokkien). At first when we got up from our seats to leave, I could not balance myself.... and things are floating abit but I am sure I am quite sober. But i became more daring to talk or make some funny statements... like abit more hyper and laughing abt... but quite mild la. I hope I didnt spoil my image, and I dun think i did.... I didnt say anything too weird i guess... but some of my frens still think I was acting abit different then. As for kelly, wj and yy, they are more high.... and minlee felt like puking but didnt. We went for supper somewhere nearby... and eating certainly help in detoxifying the alcohol... And to think I drank such high concentration alcohol that amount without having dinner and plus I already have slight headache and sleepiness b4hand, 3 glasses of vodka (lime, orange and craneberry) is enuff to worsen my headache at the back of my head so painful that I dun feel like being sane and felt shag and floating and getting me abit wooohooo (wild?) ..... nah nah me still a decent me :p ok la, once a while.... not suited to the clubbing atmosphere but thankfully the place wasnt too smoky.. Either I am more trained after the overnight smoker cabin I had from Germany or the place has better exhaust system, that i think the place isnt too smoky. ~~
After supper, most of the gals went to yy place to stayover.... thanks wj for driving us ard again... haiz~~though he drove after drinking but he's not drunk la.... the guys didnt drink much. wat a wild night, first time in sg for me. my first clubbing experience was at KL zouk... for gals who love drinking, u can try Clinic at clarke quay. dance flr aint big but rowdy enuff at late night. btw, as their theme is ' clinic', their furniture for outdoor dining is amusing with those screens used in hospital... very metallic looking colour scheme and even haf those hanging blood bag at the sides of the screens with some red coloured water inside!!. HAHAHA!!! damn cool. will post photos soon oso.
k la, shag shag... immediately came home and rushed to sch after having Ya Kun breakfast at Junction 8 (near yy place)..... cos last minute in the late morning my dissertation supervisior Prof Chan called me to change my consultation from tml to today's evening ... so it explained the rush. Finally got home to rest now.... damn shag. hmm my hair still got a very very faint smell of smoke though i washed it like hell.... yucks....
Right, i think more activities coming up so stay tune. ok ok will promise to show u all photos!
