Sunday, December 07, 2014 - [sleepover at DYs C: ]
Okie let's rewind a day back to Friday.
DY arrived at my place at about 10.30am which means I had to forcefully get up at 10am. I say forcefully because I get up at about 11 or 11.30 XD . why not? It's the holidays and not to mention I go to bed at 3 or 4am :x ..
It was my idea to meet for breakfast anyway C: so we did, after that we headed to her salon ~ It's called "Get Nailed" and its at Liang Court. Unfortunately not the best location for a parlor but you gotta start somewhere right? Starting up is never easy.
I didn't think about it much but I guess it looks sorta Christmas-y, so that's good, I should have given it more thought and picked a design like this D:

She had her hair dyed while I had a manicure.

We spent.. between 3 and 4 hours at the salon because DY had to have to hair re-dyed and styled. Then we finally went to get food. YAAAYYYYY char kway teow ♥ ♥ ♥ best hawker food ever C:
Went to DY's house and shortly after Jun came over and we watched Pulp Fiction, much more hilarious watching it a second time, the first time I was just trying to string the story together. I believe Jun and I were laughing and talking far too loudly for DY to focus on the movie. So she didnt like it ):
):
):
I'm sorry.
):
It was just nice catching up with Jun XD
Then then then, the mother of coincidences happened.
Jun said he had a friend Cecelia coming over for our overnight mahjong session (gambling session :x) I have only ever known one Cecelia all my life. And I remember her so clearly because her surname is Ang. I was so excited when I met her because I thought I might finally be 2nd on the class register.
But ... Her surname didn't come before her first name like some of my friends, so I was still number 1 that year.
So when Jun said Cecelia was coming over, I had a hunch and I just asked, is her surname Ang? Is her chinese name QX ?
"YES! Omg how do you know! "
XDDDDDDDDD
My old friendddddd . When her cab pulled up I went down to open the door and bring her in, I just stood there hoping she would recognize me and she did !
What a small world.
The rest of the night was filled with primary school memories and also some high school stories and the shuffling of tiles. I had a really great night that night, I was unusually lucky and it was quite scary but as shifu DY says
I should never feel bad and never try to change the flow of the game. (as in she once had a huge winning streak and felt bad for winning all the money so she intentionally didn't show her winning hand and gave up her winning tile and .. it ended badly. Mahjong is highly superstitious anyway. The order where you sit and pick the tiles and arrange them, the fengshui of your seat, the environment and which hand you use to draw a tile, everything matters :o !
TLDR, never mess with the mahjong gods.)
We ended our session at about 7am, DY and I had a sleep til about midday when she got called out by her staff.. so .. I got to sleep til 2pm while she went out to do some errands. Had yummy mee sua and the large Taiwanese fried chicken. Hhhnnngggg soo goooooood ... so unhealthyyyy... I can feel literally feel cholesterol and the cancer going inside me as I chew XD ! #worth
Time for me to head homeeeee, what an experience riding the MRT again, just completely flooded with people the entire hour home.
Then I got home.. and the previous angry post happened,
in my anger and unhappiness I suddenly got a text from Sinyean (he lives 5 mins from me, and he was my colleague in SPH, and he studies in Melbourne so we write to each other sometimes C:) to go out for supper! I immediately said yes.
Dad was like "Where are you going now?"
I screamed "I can go wherever I want whenever I want, why do you care! I know how fussy you get so I planned ahead and came home to be with the family but when I do no one cares!"
He looked quite confused and sorry .
I went back to my room and thought about it and felt very stupid and sad I yelled at him, it's really trivial, it's just dinner, and the act of sitting down at the dining table together and I got so mad. But to be fair he makes a very big deal out of it each day and it's been drilled into me that I have to be there whenever I can.
"I'm sorry I overreacted, I'm going out for dessert and my friend's driving me to Serangoon Gardens. He's my friend from Australia but he's also a friend here and he lives just 3 bus stops away from us."
My god, I'm so weak I can't even be mad for more than 5 minutes.
Dessert was yummm, at a place called Dessert Bowl and it was so crowded and lively! Will definitely go there again.
Alright, I have more to write about but I'm tired of typing, will continue another time~
