We had a band outing yesterday! What great fun it was!
I all began with meeting yunwei at bt batok, then proceeding to jurong east to meet up with lormee. After which, peakiew and david joined us at marina bay before we set off to go and fly kite! YES! We went to fly kites! And what excitment it was!
But the shop owner selling kites was very no-goose. After deciding to buy 2 $2.50 kites, the shop owner then passed us the strings, telling us that it would cost us an additional 1 dollar each! And so, we spent $7 dollars buying lao-pok kites and tried to fly them. hahahahaha... we ran around like headless chickens making our kites fly while the old uncles behind stood on spot and tugged on the string so leisurely and their kites flew higher and higher into the sky... we were really pek-cheak. sian sian siannnnn... By that time, kk and chelly had arrived and another $3.50 kite combo wass bought. I was already despairing at that moment in time, with my PIKACHU kite already half torn and chelly's POWERPUFF-SNOOPY-DORAEMON kite's string was ripped off.
AND THEN, a miracle happened! yunwei and peakiew came with a $1.50 cheapadee kite flying high up in the sky!!!! (which according to them, flew up into the sky while they crossed the road to the field, and they didn't noticed it at all) and INSTANTLY, our evening became absolutely amazing with each of us taking turns to fly the kite higher and higher into the sky.
So what is the morale of the story? - buy cheapo kites and they will fly automatically into the sky by themselves
After that, we went to eat steamboat at zhen4 fa1 huo2 hai3 xian1. And i stuffed myself with lotsa french fries, satay meat and gou3 qi2 zi3 stamboat soup.... hohohoho... totally unhealthy and i became even fatter after that.
Soon after! we left marina bay to watch movie at marina square only to be shocked by the huge crowd and little time slots left for any movie now showing. So we walked towards the overcharging hawker centre near esplanade. Everything is damn ex there la...... Cheng Tng cost 2.60 (1.50 in food courts), hokkien prawn mee costs $4/6/8 (2/3/4 in bt batok hawker centre), mee soto is $3.50 (1.50 if you get it in school lo). Hai hai.... but we sat there and chatted for a while before all of us left home for the night. wad a tiring day it was.....
And i lost all my energy to continue on blogging liao... tired tired... tmr is another day of work.... siannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
BUT i shall look forward to the 1st ever cheapcheapgoodgoodtalklonglong outing tmr! Woohoo!
i am going mad... are you?
it is the little things that counts
