What exam paper? Haha. I shouldn’t be too cocky.
A couple of stuff to talk about.
The Producers was a great movie! I quite liked how the movie itself has all the ingredients for a ‘flop’ but it works, exactly like the play in the show ‘Springtime for Hitler’. So it’s like a movie in a movie, just that it’s kind of more subtle. YS was saying how they get away with all the outrageous and non politically correct and sensitive jokes just because it’s a comedy and I agree! Homosexuality, Nazis, crass sexual references and all that – So ‘Springtime for Hitler’! Carmen Ghia was my favourite character. =) Also the reference to Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis ‘”As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning after disturbing dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into an giant cockroach” Nah, it’ll never work, it’s too brilliant’. Loved the film; I laughed from the start to the end.
Dinner at Essential Brew was really good! I think everyone should go try the Tofu Steak. I love the mushrooms… and we asked for a seperate serving of rosti. They normally only serve it with the beef steak, but if you ask, they will serve just the rosti. That’s good, cause at least they are flexible enough to do that. The rosti is so good! I never liked the Marche type rosti… it’s too thick and a little tasteless. The rosti at Essential Brew is really thin and crispy. Really yummy!
Incident at the Central Library. Went to refill Ade’s and my water bottle at the rest area. You know how water coolers are at this awkward height, so the taps are like situated at the height of your knees so you have to bend down to refill the bottle. And at that position your butt sticks out like… something… I don’t know. So I was bent down at this awkward position when this person walked to stand beside me. I was annoyed (cause of the position and how come you have to stand so close) so I looked up to shoot the person a dirty look. Surprise surprise, he was cute. He backed off a little, but later I became very self conscious cause of the bloody ass sticking out position. And then from the corner of my eye I saw him lean back on the pillar facing me. It is so awkward. Anyway, that’s about it.. nothing interesting. Heh.
Velvet and Phuture with Sam and YS and some other people on Thursday. You know the last time I went to Zouk pre-MOS days on the eve of a public holiday, it was so packed you could hardly breathe. Now it’s so empty (at least until 1230) it’s not even funny. So we hung out at Velvet a little first. I saw the staff come in with like 3 trays of shots and a couple of jugs and was thinking ‘Wow that must be a really alcoholic table’… until the staff set the 3 trays down on our table. I think I was google-eyed for a while. The fire in mouth thing was insane! Haha. Anyhoo Phuture perked up a bit later, and it was quite fun. Same old pick up stories, but the funny thing (as mentioned in Sam’s blog) was the fact that after we brushed them off we found ourselves given this wide berth thing. Like after the guys left, there was this really huge area around us that is empty. Hur. A bit weird. Haha. Thinking back, I can’t believe I did the ‘drop it like it’s hot’ thing. Hahaha… and forced them to do similar. Oh I so wanna check out Thumper but it’s so packed… Is it true the staff there are called Thumperinas? I think I heard it from somewhere.
I suddenly remembered something I never blogged about … when Mel, Hui and I were at MOS the last time. We noticed this really good dancer guy at the R&B place, and he was quite cute. Seriously, I love the way he dances. So anyway, Mel went up the guy (he was on the podium thingy) and asked him to come down to dance with me! Hahaha… I swear, it’s ‘retribution’ for the last time I did it to her at Club Momo. Anyway he did but he wasn’t half as good a dance partner as he is dancing alone. Or maybe he just wasn’t interested. Haha. So I kind of told him nice dancing with you blah blah blah and left.
We met Hui there too! Anyway, later went to Peranakan Place to check out Ice Cold Beer (and passing by Li-Shun/Shun-Li. Whatever, shops shouldn't put chinese words cause people won't know how which side to read it from). It has quite a nice atmosphere, and I gather guys would love it because of (1) Beer (2) Posters of pin up girls (3) Live soccer. In fact, in the absence of (1) and (2), (3) would still be a huge draw, I gather.
