"One parts brave, three parts fool."
I remembered when we were back in j2, we used to kick-ball after lessons at 5, play a straight 3hr game till we cant see chinablack, then stop. Then we'll sit at the cafe and continue to talk till we were merry. And then we'll leave the college all still fighting fit. Days like these dont last. Yesterday the guys met up for a huge kick-ball session with ho and ben, and we kicked ourselves exhausted. As in, really really shagged kind of exhausted. We played like seven 'race-to-5' games, and the last few games all of us were like literally lying on the ground during rest periods. The weather was superb. And we had a new ball. We are getting old.
Biao fatigued

Today after church at Indoor stadium, my family went to the restaurant opposite the stadium for seafood, and the name of the restaurant is
Interesting. We had crab, prawn and others. Superb. Lets go JB for seafood soon. And i can show off my crab-deshelling skills. The prawn was the best.
The prawns were sick. Not literally.
Thats my new year's eve.

I suggest someone initiate a funtyppl post on 'Resolutions for 2007', then everyone contribute. Hahah.
Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays?
During service my pastor mentioned of this debate whether to use 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays' as the standard greeting for the December 25 holiday, as using the word 'Christ'-mas would offend other persuasions or non believers.
And my pastor's argument was obviously for 'Merry Christmas'. What was so special about the day that requires celebrating? Only one reason. Christ. So dropping 'Merry Christmas' for 'Happy Holidays' is really.. absurd. Don't you think. Christ is the reason for the season, and that is solely why the whole world is having a holiday on 25 December.
Those not happy, then dun have holiday
lor. Simple as that.

Back from Bangkok, battered and bruised, the guys were cruel.
Pics will be up when i feel like it.
My Bridge Career ends.
Nothing to do with any army combat engineer stuff.
And a certain hh forgot a certain memory card..
I saw a book today, and then, i was evil.
Today biao and I snap our fingers, and suddenly we were at Sim Lim.
Then we wanted to change for Thai baht, so we snapped our fingers and we ended up at chinatown.
Then we scouted every inch of people's park centre and people's park complex, walking and walking, trying to find the best rates.
Once we concluded on the best rate we could find, we realised that the difference between the best and worst rates are only a freaking few singapore cents, so we changed at a nearby changer.
Then we walked and walked and walked, with no destination in mind.
And we talked about stupid theories, future podcasts and vivid possibilities.
And suddenly we were at suntec.
So we had dinner at suntec.
And realised that suntec's money changer has better rates than chinatown.
Snap, just like that.
On monday i snapped my fingers, and suddenly my next day was an off. So that night our fingers went snapping and suddenly the next day became an outing. Behold, the powers of snap-finger outings!
The next day the snapped few (no pun intended) went to glutton's bay and expected to eat cheap, but snap snap, suddenly a stingray and fried oysters appeared. The stingray tasted like a plain fish masquerading as a stingray, and the oysters were not bathed enough in gooey stuff. My char kuay teow was whiter than ivan's. But we ate and laughed and gossip about various ppl and had a fantastic dinner after all.
Revenge for Steve Erwin.
But before dinner we stopped at esplanade and saw some white balls and suddenly we had an urge to vandalise it.
"I just wish my wishes come true."
Wins wishes for extra calories.
Erm.
After dinner we went to Haagen daz, and we had a fondue, a bitchy waitress, and a trip to the sky. And the day ended with everyone laughing at MJ.
Even beer wont get you as drunk.
Wins and hh laughing at my stupid looking pic.
LAUGH AT CHRIS NOW
And after that, snap, and i was back in camp. And woWWW ah. More offs to go soon...
The Aftermath, 'Snap-finger' outings.
Snap-finger outings. def. Meetings; gatherings; outings, often small, which are decided in a short time-span, usually on the spot, and often, requires no such planning nor reason whatsoever. Setting destination and rationale of any outings, and especially planning the number of attendees is strictly against the Snap-finger rule. Stating a meeting time and location is allowed, however.
Eg. Snap-finger outing 1:
I just ended church, and hh just left from a family lunch, and we are both outside and have nothing to do, therefore we had a snap-finger outing which eventually led us to Bugis.
Eg. Snap-finger outing 2:
Ivan so happened to be in town to get TATU cds, and i had nothing to do after lunch in town, so we had a snap-finger outing together. I tried to snap-finger with hh and he's not free, but when i snap-finger with biao he was free as he just finished driving working! So we had an unplanned 3-men snap-finger outing together. We walked around, ivan left for an unplanned skating lesson and returned. And we watched HAPPY FEET just for fun.
Eg. Snap-finger outing 3:
Wins just wants to go out after her last paper so she tried snapping-finger with available people and she snap-finger MJ first, and he happens to be out too. She then tried to snap-finger with chris, but she did not realise that buy-chris-get-biao-free. Then MJ also snap-finger HH and he's free too. In the end snap-finger with so many people needs planning, and therefore snap snap snap so many people, no more snap-finger outing.
Pseudo-Snap-finger outings.def. Snap-finger outings with a stated rationale.
Eg. You just wanna meet someone, anyone, cos you wanna watch a movie, play pool, eat fondue etc so you snap-finger with anyone hoping they would watch a movie, play pool, eat fondue etc with you. If they comply then it's a Pseudo-Snap-finger outing.
----------------------------------------------------
So nowadays i have frequent unplanned snap-finger meetings with people whenever i so happened to be out. Its fast, efficient and hassle-free! No planning at all, just ask whoever you want to meet if they are free on the day itself, or the night before even. And eventually this unplanned outing will still get you somewhere, right? In the end, you still get to see each other's faces and isn't that the point of any outings.
And so when you see anyone going out together, dont feel bad that you were not asked along, cos they are most probably having a snap-finger outing. And its not their fault that they are unaware that you so happen to be out too anyway.
So read this and apply properly! Try to snap-finger people you know are about to finish their appointments whatsoever, and don't snap-finger so many people at a time. Also, dont snap-finger people you know are at home cos its unfair to travel so far for an unplanned outing. And dont feel sad if people don't snap-finger you.
