So, in classic style and in accordance to Patch's rules of life's tragic ironies, i'm up at 9am on a saturday morning, after trying unsuccessfully to fall asleep for the last 30 minutes. Which is kinda irritating, coz I fell asleep at around 5am last night after coming home from singing karaoke for 4 hours.
"eh, but your timestamp is like 10am leh."
Yes, that's because in accordance to Patch's rules of life's tragic ironies, while i was very careful not to press the wrong button and wipe out my post, i just pressed the wrong button and closed the tab i was typing in.
"er, ok, so anyway... YOU?!! KARAOKE?! What did you sing?"
Chinese songs lor.
"Dun bluff!!"
Well ok, some Chinese and some English. But the Chinese songs really have a lot better MTVs la. I mean, i sang "we didn't start the fire" with another old fogey who is really old at 26 years old, and there wasn't even a semblance of a shadow of an attempt at cheesy video clips of babes walking along beaches. There were just words on a green background. So chinese songs better la.
"Don't bluff, Chicago can't have made you MORE Chinese. You where got know Chinese songs?"
Just read the lyrics lor, i mean, it's surprising how many songs you recall once you get down to it. Fan ti only, so easy.
"You, fan ti? HAHA now i know you're bluffing. C'mon, come clean, what WERE you doing up so late at night anyway?"
No, really! Singing! Don't mock my Chinese abilities ok. Or my murmuring ones.
"Well, ok, then answer this: What were you doing going to Chinatown at 12am anyway? Why didn't you just go earlier so you could sleep earlier?"
Well, that's because i was massaging cold chunks of flesh, and rubbing them down with oil and things. My hands still smell. ugh.
"Too much info!!!"
No la, i was marinating chicken wings and stuff, and dislocating bones. Quite fun, really, if a bit disgusting after you do like 100 of them, and then you realise you have more to go.
"OMGWTFBBQ?"
You got it. Spent most of yesterday afternoon preparing for it, and i did the most amazing shopping ever: US$133 on groceries and various items, check out the receipt:
"WAH, you still have Chinese New Year goodies!!"
Yea, love from home, but check out the receipt!
"And is that a purple RI file???? WHY?"
Math notes. The receipt!
"And what's that little dog doing over there?"
Jean gave it to me. But isn't the receipt really cool? It was almost the length of my windscreen.
"And is that fil's darth tater on the shelf?"
Yes! Which reminds me, I watched ep 3 a few days ago, and it was really pretty good! Even if nobody seems to think so. I mean, the leitmotivs in the soundtrack were damn exciting and cunning la. And the fight scenes were pretty cool too, even if some of them don't make logical sense in the "HA, i've been fighting for really long but all i really wanna do is aim at your lightsaber instead of attacking you where there're openings in your guard" way, and also i've realised that while previously i could never look at the CGI graphics of a movie normally, now, thanks to music class, I can't listen to the music normally either, and i'll probably never watch a movie in the same way again. But that's kinda good in a way, more utility, coz the parking came up to US$26! Luckily there were people to split it, but really the whole movie was pretty awesome la. And thanks to Amanda the mad Star Wars fan who got the tickets and went to line up for 3 hours to get good seats, about 12 hours after she finished watching the movie for the first time. Yea.
"You're weird."
"hullo?"
"uh."
zzz.
