Happy Birthday, Augusta!
Wednesday, August 04, 2010 @ 11:01 PM
::3rd August 2010::
And so,
After my subct work, I went to meet my GV friends at The Heeren, 7pm!! I will try to seize every chance of meet up opportunities b'cos if I don't, we would just cease being friends :( so this particular meet up here is to celebrate Augusta's birthday!! (which was yesterday.. heh, belated :P)


Ah~ Miss my GV people so much!!
(As usual, LengShan has 'pang seh' us!)
And Augusta has chosen to eat at a Japanese buffet restaurant, Kiseki (miracle in Japanese). When all have gathered, we went to the basement of The Heeren, pay up and it's time to EAT!!! :D


Queuing up for payment~
And woah, I have never been to such a buffet place before! Every food was categorized into different stations and there's a wide range of Japanese cuisine!! And of course, taking pictures of everything comes first. I'm like more excited in taking pictures than eating the scrumptious looking Japanese food! ^_^;;

Wall of Japanese characters!!~

Grill and Tempura stations~

Here's Edmund and Candy :3

Sushi, sashimi and lots more~

Augusta and Kelvin sure like their sashimi (@.@)

Told you, they have a wide range of Japanese food, right? (^_^)b
So once I'm done with my camera, I went off to carefully select my food - those I want to eat and I must be able to finish it. So I ended up with a small portion of food. Hur~ Buffet is really not my thing. I just don't eat my money's worth!! T.T

Such a spread! O_O

Since Candy had to leave early, she decided to hit the dessert station first :) So Edmund and I accompanied her there. And ooo~, they have chocolate fondue as well! Milk and white - two types :D So awesome~ Not only that, there were also these dainty cakes and puddings.

Puddings and tofu cheese cakes!

Posing with the pretty puddings~ :P

So afterward, Candy went off first; leaving us behind :( Anyway, the guys decided to play the finger guessing game (猜拳) to clear up all the leftover sashimi. But of course, it ain't that simple! The sashimi have to be first mix in various kinds of sauces - white chocolate fondue, mayonnaise... and more; before serving to the loser. Gross right? Luckily I don't know how to play and don't eat sashimi. So I was excused :P

This was the very first example of the sashimi mixed in sauces D:

& so, let the game begins!

Winner gets to prepare the sashimi.
Augusta seems rather happy here :D

And losers get to eat it xD!

Other exciting variations of sashimi - tuna and salmon.
Additional special ingredient - marshmallow coated with white chocolate fondue! D:

So here's the score when game is over!!
Augusta ate 0 times.
WenJie ate 2 times.
Kelvin ate 6 times.
Edmund ate 2 times.

Birthday luck must be shining on Augusta! However, he volunteered to eat one at the end.
& looks like Kelvin was down on his luck; he ate most of the disgusting sashimi concoction! D:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUGUSTA DEAREST KOR! :D

Augusta with his other friends :)

& of course, with us - Golden Village people :D

:$

♥ these shots!! :D
(looks like taking in a photo booth!)

Perception, people! Perception!
(Anyway, Kelvin is gay - I won't deny it :X)
After the cake has been eaten and pictures taken (we were like the only customers left in the restaurant!), Augusta's friends went off first and we decided to make our way to the arcade, Zone-X @Dhoby Ghaut station. It was really close to 11pm then; which was the arcade's closing time. But we still went ahead and played the game!!! Don't care arrr~

The★BishiBashi!!
(one of our favourite arcade games)
When it was minutes away from 11pm, Augusta was playing some fighting video arcade game and we were just standing around him spectating his battle. & the moment the clock struck 11pm, the arcade staffs would just switched off the main power and every video games would black out; even the lights were out. The game that Augusta was playing did a black void thing (you know when you off your TV or monitor, there will be this black void thing where the pictures seems to get suck into the monitor? Ya, something like that happened.) appeared and the screen went dead. At that point of time, I thought it was some character's super power... before my mind registered that the staffs have switched off the main power... Suddenly I felt really dumb inside D:
We went out of the dark arcade and out onto the streets. Hung around the entrance of The Cathay, planning and discussing what should we do next; while the smokers... smoked. In the end, it was too late to do anything conducive... So we all home-d instead and wait for the next meet up/gathering to be planned :P!

Anyway, it's time to get the cake out; which Kelvin and WenJie went off at point of dinner to buy the cake secretly; and also there's another point, where Augusta's other friends came also to have dinner at Kiseki and celebrate his birthday as well. Celebration!~ Yeah!!

DDD: Holland V Expedition!
Saturday, July 31, 2010 @ 3:03 AM
::30th July 10::
It's one of those polytechnic friends meet up but this time was very different! It's a drinking session; planned out by Shuhua and Moo. Actually, I was reluctant to go at first... b'cos I can't drink and the drinks are like super expensive!! But in the end, I still went for it D:
So there were six of us (Ariel, YuKi, Shuhua, Joshua, Audrey and me) in total; although Audrey arrived a little later (due to school) and Moo was unable to make it (due to other commitments). Anyway we were to reach Buona Vista MRT station @7.30pm. So I went there after my work (no longer GV work anymore but Subordinate Courts work) :D

@ Buona Vista MRT station
Waiting a little more for Ariel to arrive!
Anyway,
Once Ariel has reached, we made our way to Holland Village to have our dinner first at the hawker centre. Can't drink on an empty stomach, if I'm not wrong (@.@)

♥ western food the most!!~

Munch, munch, chomp, chomp, slurp, slurp... Ahhh~
With that, we went to search for the drinking bar we had in mind since the beginning of this trip... Eski Bar!!! A sub zero degree bar! How exciting and interesting~
We explored the inner Holland Village where all the bars/pubs are located... but we couldn't find it. Joshua searched for the location of the bar through the world wide web and we combed the whole of Holland Village again. But it brought us to a dead end! Tried asking for directions; either they don't know where or they pointed out directions that led to nowhere (@.@)
So we went out to the outskirts of Holland Village to try our luck there. We walked until the end, we still found zilch! Asked someone at 3 Monkeys Cafe, just to find out that there's no Eski Bar at Holland Village anymore! We were so disappointed... instead of canceling the drinking session, we decided to go to one of those bars at the central of Holland Village.
Back we walked again...

You know what? We took like forty minutes trying to find the nonexistent Eski Bar! xD Anyway, we decided to go for Tango's instead... but when we look through the menu, we weren't satisfied with the drinks selection there. So we left and proceed to Harry's @Holland V :P

Sat inside the bar. Dark.

YuKi and Ariel!~

+ Shuhua :)

& Joshua and me!^^
We took quite sometime looking through their wide range of alcoholic drinks. There were some very erotic drink names like Blow Job, Dirty Banana, Slippery Nipple, Orgasm. All of them belong to the shots catergory though xD When decided, the ordering began :)

Their first drinks selection!
Shuhua:- Kamikaze
Ariel:- Liquid XTC
YuKi:- Jager-Bomb

Audrey's here!!! :D

Shuhua and Ariel finished their shots and were in for another round :P


Selection starts again!
Audrey:- Planter's Punch
Joshua:- Moscow Mule
Mine:- Strawberry Colada

♥ my pink mocktail :P

Shuhua hated her Brain Haemorrhage shot.
It really gave her a brain haemorrhage after drinking it xD
Anyway,
Audrey and I went feeling a bit peckish. So we went out to look around for some finger food :) And we found them @EWF (Everything with Fries)!

Some for all to share :)

I like taking pictures of receipts :P

@11.30pm, we were all done with our drinks/food so we went straight home like a flock of homing pigeons :P Need to quickly take the public transport, before they all become "NOT OPERATING"!!! xD

Walk until like owners of the road xD

ONE DAY, WE WILL NOT FAIL TO FIND/TRY ESKI BAR!!!!

RP Clique: Coffee Hangout!
Monday, July 12, 2010 @ 11:09 PM
::11th July 10::
Finally it's one of those RP clique meet up & hang out days :) It has been quite long since we last hang out together - well, for the majority of us. Now that, WeiLeng is back from her studies at Australia. It's like yay, great time for a meet up session time :D & also, for someone has an extreme "need" to drink coffee and wants to do it together in a group... xP
So the planning was done and set into motion:-
Date: 11th July 2010
Location: Tom N Toms Coffee
Meeting Venue: Harbourfront MRT
Meeting Time: 11.30am ~ 12.00noon
And so,
I was pretty much the last one to reach there because I kinda took my time as I have a direct bus from home to Vivo City/Harbourfront. Koko came along with me to accompany at the bus stop, while I wait for the bus. Damien came down too; so that he could bring Koko home later :P

Happy Koko :)
Bus 57'd and reached~
The six of us settled down at Tom N Toms Coffee; Vivo City. Everyone ordered something; as for me, I didn't order anything :P WeiLeng brought some snacks to share, so I ate those instead and steal food from the others :D As a result, I was rather bloated :P Yay~


These very interesting gadgets are actually beepers
when your food/drinks order are ready for collection :D

Shuhua / WeiLeng / Moo

Joshua / me / Audrey

The orders!
For my shot, I posed with the snacks that WeiLeng brought :P

Strawberry Pocky tastes great with curry :3

Time passed as we bonded during this period with talks and food. Until it's time to take out Shuhua's belated actual present!!! (yes, the previous celebration of her birthday with those presents are not the actual birthday present! While waiting for it to ship over to my house, they bluff her by saying WeiLeng took her actual birthday present and could only pass to her when she returns to Singapore xD) WeiLeng and Moo did very sneaky stuffs under the table (don't think the left way :X), like taking the actual present out of the box and giving her just the box only xD

& she said, " Thanks ar for the batteries." Lol'd

But she did get her actual present in the end - a missy watch ;D
Once again, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY AGAIN, SHUHUA DEAREST!

With that, we took a group picture before leaving the comfort zone :)

Cheese!~♥
And WeiLeng has to be on her way home. It was really awesome for all of us to meet up from time to time so that bonds could be renewed and strengthen! :D Anyway, the rest of us passed our time by walked/strolled around Vivo City. Well, for awhile before everyone gets bored of Vivo. Anyway, I made a pit stop at the UOB ATM to withdraw money to pay up my debts to Audrey... :X


And this was the amount I owed her!
(includes my upcoming trip travel and accommodation costs :P)

And I got the character I hated in the movie (@.@)...

My favourite Squeeze Toy Aliens in Toy Story!!♥

♥♥♥

Found this little "button" on my way :)
(includes my upcoming trip travel and accommodation costs :P)
Soon, everyone started to disperse off to their various places. As for me, I met up with WenJie at Vivo City as well. We went up to Toys"R"Us to look-look before making our way to Plaza Singapura to catch a movie - Repo Man @ 4.40pm.

Due to the fact I watched Toy Story 3 the previous day, I bought this on impulse :P
