I didn't survive SCSM 2007

Met up with Sham, Valencia and Puss for what Sham described as the "last" dinner before the upcoming marathon we were about to run the next day. Lame but yeah. Haha.

This time we dined at Marina Square's Changing Appetites. Its probably quite new because i don't remember seeing it around before. Anyway the food was alright...affordable and there's so much to eat you'll be so bloated afterwards you'll be walking sideways. Anyway a leopard will never change its skin, which is why i ordered their biggest burger there, appropriately named the Barbarian burger. Its a gigantic burger with two 200gm beef patties, 2 dory fillets and 1 piece of chicken in between the buns. Obviously i didn't finish everything, all 4 of us struggled to finish the food that evening. Which is why i always say: "When you're hungry, you think you can eat a cow!" I must not over order and over eat again!

After dinner, we went to catch a 9pm plus movie. We watched Ben Stiller's The Heartbreak Kid this time and what a huge mistake it turned out to be for me. Its not the show, its a good show actually. A typical Ben Stiller comedy full of humor.

Anyway I mentioned that its a mistake for me because by time the show ended, sent all of them back and reached home myself, it was already past 1am, and the marathon's flag off timing the next day is 5.30am! I went to sleep immediately of course but guess what...i woke up at exactly 5.30am the next day. Lying in bed feeling super sleepy and all, i gave myself lots of reason not to turn up for the marathon...and yup i didn't go in the end. Well...at least i didn't have to limp the whole week or risk getting an injury.

Argh

In the end, i met up with Puss who also didn't turn up and return our championship chip without the tee-shirt. We had lunch at Citilink's Simply Thai before i went to play soccer and even scored a goal for my team! Good thing coz i wouldn't have been there if i ran the marathon in the morning. My team has been on an unbeaten run of late and i hope this continues!

Yesterday was my colleague Rodney's wedding dinner. To tell you the truth, this is the first time i'm attending a friend's wedding dinner. All of my other friends are still not married, i hope they don't all come at one shot because its gonna be really expensive if that happens. Anyway i had a good laugh watching the video they played during the dinner of what happened in the day before the sisters allowed the groom and the brothers into the house to get his bride, i've never seen anyone having to complete so many stunts before they were allowed in. I've always thought that a big angbao will do the trick. Anyway the dinner was at Riverfront Furama Hotel and its also the first time that i see performance in the process of serving the first dish. 2 men with stuffed bellies came out and started dancing around the dining hall, it was really hilarious.
