Of Coffee and White Wine
Day 3 of the busy weekday schedule.First i had the SRJC concert,then i had to attend the medical checkup.Today i went to meet up with my 1st 3 months SRJC classmates.First and foremost,i must say that 1s24 lives in my mind,forever.You guys are the best.BEST.The best.No questions about it.
 
After school,i got myself ready for the outing.I stayed back in school to finish my Poisson Distribution tutorial.Yeah,believe it or not.At 440pm,i ironed my shirt and pants,got ready to leave.The 105 trip was exciting for me,since i havent met them in months.Haha.Especially SM,who's been gone since January(He studies in Australia).The wait for the 105 bus was long.And 317 was even later.So i started chewing on the already half melted lemon sweet i brought with me.Anyway,got onto the bus and headed for the Serangoon Garden circle.It was Nigel and Jane's idea to have an outing at Cafe Cartel.Yeah,the one i went to after Synergy.I arrived a little after the meeting time(545pm),but i was early.Cafe Cartel was just setting up their tables and chairs outside,and it was empty all around.I tried looking for friends,but they were nowhere to be seen.I called Jane,and she was on her way.I went to the bus stop and met Sandra there,bored.Haha.We talked a bit,and i called Harrison.He was five minutes away,and he was running when i called.Haha.So i asked Sandra to look out for a guy running along the street with a golden hair(Or brunette,if you prefer).Jane got off the bus,then Harrison came soon after.Nigel was bloody late,and Melissa was late because she was hanging out with her boyfriend(He is my friend as well,and i was utterly shocked when i found out who he is.I almost fell out of the chair).Anyway,Nigel came down he bus soon after and we pretended that we already finished our meals.The blurry Nigel believed and kept apologising.Haha.We got to Cafe Cartel and met Siang Hong,Meishan and her boyfriend Wei Chen(If thats the spelling).Nigel suggested that we go Chomp Chomp or some coffee shop,but this suggestion was later dismissed by me after my opinion."Late comers have no say."Sorry Nigel.Haha.
 
We went in and ordered.We started talking about the good old days and started catching up.Haha.It was real fun,and Harrison basically took charge of the goofing.I took charge of remembering the old stuff,since i had fond memories of the class.Haha.Jane shared some incident of hers to the group and we talked about it.It was really fun,and i almost forgot about my own food.I ordered SeaFood Pasta,and it wasnt really great.But hell,who cares.The incident with this flying insect was hilarious.Harrison managed to trap the insect in a cup on the wall.Amazing.He then slammed the cup on the table(No worries,its alive).Sandra began yelling,"Insect cruelty!".Harrison shouted back,"Is there such a thing called Insect Cruelty?You ever heard of SPCI?"Haha.I laughed my head off.SM arrived from Suntec,and he ordered his food while i ordered some ice blended coffee.I never tried coffee before.At least i dont remember.And i tasted really good.Haha.It had whipped cream and vanilla icecream topping with crushed chocolate.Heaven on EARTH.Melissa joined us too,and we found out that her boyfriend was next door in the coffee bean.Since Siang Hong and I know him,we went over to ask him to join us.Haha.He insisted on staying in Coffee Bean,and actually denied that he had a girlfriend.Here's the conversation:
 
"Hey,lets go play."
"Huh,must i?I want to study."
"Study?Comon'!I'll introduce you to my friends.This really hot girl."
"Is she attached?"
"Yeah,she is."
"Then im not interested."
"Man,im sure you'll be interested."
"Nah.She's attached.Not interested."
"Hey,she's damn hot.She's your type.Dude,let's go."
"Dont want."
"Hey,i heard you have a girlfriend."
"Dont have man.Dont have one."
"Oh,alright.Anyway,i'll be next door in Cafe Cartel.Come find us."
(He knew that his girlfriend was in Cafe Cartel.And you shouldve seen his face.Haha.)
 
Anyway,we talked a lot more when we got back.I started the tale about the time when Nigel's Physics papers were torn during the Economics lecture,and how SM's palmtop was confiscated.The funniest thing was,the class waited anxiously outside the LT while they were scolded.The first to come out was Harrison,and he bursted through the double door and had this "Out-to-Kill" look.Next was SM,and he came out with his face red and buring with fury(After all,he's palmtop was taken).Then it was Nigel,and he came out laughing his head off(He's worksheet got torn,mind you).Great memories.
 
We then started talking about how we used to play Heart Attack with poker cards in Burger King,and recieve complains from the manager.Haha.Siang Hong suggested that we play it again in the cafe,but Harrison didnt bring his mini DragonBall poker cards.Haha.Jane was a great slapper,and it was painful as hell.
 
Sadly,the meeting ended at 7+ 8.Most of the people had to leave,and the leftovers went to SM's house for a drink.Siang Hont and I,plus SM himself.But we promised another outing next week.Haha.Looking forward to that.In the mean time,we walked the distance to Ripley Crescent again,and up the street to SM's house.It was dark,and the nobody was at home save for the maid and his mother.We got to the kitchen and pulled out his father's white wine.Its been in the fridge since 2001,and its supposed to be sweeter as the years go by.In the end,we brought three cups to his room and drank.It was not strong,but it was definitely too sweet.REALLY sweet.And i couldnt take the sweetness.(The alcohol level was fine.At a tender level of 10.5%)We did some personality test together,and were asked to rank the following animals in order of our likings.Tiger,horse,sheep,pig and cow.Haha.Then we were asked to describe each anmial listed with a word.After which,an important person in your life that represents a certain colour.Anyway,SM and I had 60% of the answers the same.Imagine the odds.Under the colour "Green",that person's supposed to be the one you'll never forget.SM wrote Siang Hong.Haha.We rolled on the floor and laughed so hard.Haha.Then the alcohol kicked in,and i was drowsy.I was sober,but just tired.So i wanted to go home.Siang Hong and I headed out of his house at 1040pm,and i took a cab home while Siang Hong risked the dark and walked home.Haha.Brave young man dude.Brave young man.Haha.
 
Anyway,i had a great time guys.Thanks for the laughs and all.Really appreciated that everyone could come.Love you guys,peace out.Sorry to mess up your room a little SM.Thanks for the drinks and the fun.Sandra,Meishan,Melissa,SiangHong,Jane,Nigel and Harrison,thanks for making this possible.1s24 for forever.;)
 
Damn,i think the coffee and alcohol shouldnt be drunk together.Im drowsy as hell now.Its kicking in,and im fainting.Better hit the beds.Night y'all,and have a nice weekend.Peace out.Z.
