MODERN

Mitch: We took lily on her first train ride. Just a quick trip to Chinatown.
Cam: I was worried she would think we were taking her back to Vietnam, but she seemed okay.
Mitch: Yeah, yeah. Possibly because she was in infant when she left Vietnam. Also Vietnam is not China. 
Cam: Well, I had a lollipop just in case.

Cam: I have an idea. Why don't we ride the next train until it catches up?
Mitch: They don't catch up. It's called a collision.
Cam: Well do you have a better idea?

HAHAHAHA IS THERE A FUNNIER DIALOGUE OUT THERE OR WHAT.

And also because there's Kevin Hart in this episode who happens to be my fave black comedian...whose name I had to google "short black comedian" in order to type this.

Modern family is awesome.

AWKWARD

I am bad with dealing with awkward situations. No make that very very extremely bad. More often than not, I'll just be super eager to please and make agree to something I will most probably regret.

Aka "Hey do you want to meet ___ and ___ for dinner sometime?"
Instead of saying upfront that I didn't want to meet one of ___ and that I feel guilty having to reject his request, I replied the following.

"How about we 2 just grab dinner some time? Timing's better to coordinate anyway."

Let's just hope that he asked it as a cordial invitation and really had no intention to follow up on his words because if he acts otherwise, I will have to drag my sorry ass and lay in the coffin I built.

Damn me and my incapability to deal with awkward situations. JUST. DAMN.

TSE

How did I end up watching a 1 hour 23 minutes long video on Youtube with Nicholas Tse talking about entrepreneurship and the importance of education and how to succeed in life when I started off looking for a clip of him speaking in english on ANTM Season 18. He looks damn good by the way.


And Bones Season 7's ending is just........Shit. SHIT. It infuriates me so much when the whole season has only 13 episodes and the ending is so shitty. Suspense is not about spanning a case across 3/4/god knows how many episodes and across 2 seasons and withholding the conclusion to no end. Pick up a James Morrell book please. URGH.


I don't know what infuriates me more. My favourite drama series having a shitty suspense plot or that I speak about a television show with so much passion. Or that Nicholas just made me feel like I am a lost sheep in search for my true calling in life.

Damn you, Nic. (Yes we are on first name calling basis because I just sat through an hour's video of you talking about how you found your success, Nic)

COUNTRY

I truly truly believe that certain things are just damn bloody fated. Like how I would end up singing karaoke at 2 in the afternoon with Huihui, my primary school friend whom I have not met in ages, and her cousin whom I am going to Hong Kong with.

Lol don't worry, I kinda surprised myself too.

Catching up was great and laughing about the same things when we were 10 except with better vocab and experience to draw from just made it x100 better. In the words of Chong Min, 我们都是十年不变.

I could still remember the days when she+her bro, together with me+my bro, would wind up throwing our shoes at each other at the playground. The game was to take out (or stink out) your opponent by throwing your shoes at them. Do not ask me how we came up with this game though, times of walkman and dial-up connection creates the most unexpected forms of entertainment.

After 5 hours of intense karaoke, we were one too many honey water away from exploding so we decided to bounce. Hui2 and I went for dinner, Chong Min went for another intense round of karaoke (good luck to her throat) and Chong Ling went home.

During our dinner conversation and I was telling Hui2 how excited I am about everything because they just gelled so damn well together and how I was so so so grateful for things to work out the way they did. Fo' real I am really reaaaallly thankful and just over the moon about things.

Que the happy dance please.

Okay and these are some random updates about what's going on in the last few months.

Made meatballs for 2 consecutive weeks

Kee Chang drizzled drenched in gula melaka = DA BOMB

Floral top in the most prettiest green-blue colour I have ever came across.

Or the prettiest shade of green-blue I could ever buy with 20 bux lol. TOPSHOP Y YOU NO CHEAPER.

So....to friendships and awesome events! :)

AMAZING

Caught The Amazing Spiderman with the boys on friday. First row seats cause that's just how we roll.

Okay not really. It was because we were lazy asses who couldn't be bothered to get the tickets earlier. Spiderman's opening tonight? 1045 time slot? No problemo. We'll just reach at 1055, reluctantly accept our first row fate, queue up for popcorn (I insisted) and then slowly saunter to our seats just in time for the movie.

The farthest up front seats I got were 3rd row seats for TRANSFORMERS. By the end of the movie my neck was in a semi paralysed 45 degree angle and my bladder was killing me. But first row spidy wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though. Probably cause Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were just too cute to be true and that there was a 3 year old kid spidy parkouring/b-boying on the carpeted floor. 

Belly was socialite of the night because he was always no less than 5 feet away from someone he knows. At one point we met a group of like...7 dudes with only 2 and later 3 familiar faces I know. So while pres and belly were doing their man talk, I was standing in the middle mouthing "awkward..." and playing with my feet cause it obviously makes it less awkward.

That was pretty much how I looked like for the duration of the man talk

Until one of them asked me "So you are in year 2 of JC now?". It took me a moment to establish proper eye contact and I may or may not have shifted to a spot with better lighting just to recognise him (it was 1am and the lights were very dim), but I did in the end, without embarrassing myself. Lol.

And so we sat at supper table to talk and catch up like we always do, made a 7-11 run, relocated to under my block, before heading off to have breakfast at Macs. Props to them cause they were already dead beat by then but still gave in to my breakfast request. :)

Plus having them around is always a good thing. I don't know how they do it but talking about any problems to them instantly reduces the severity of it, which makes me feel stupid for classifying it as a problem in the first place. So by dawn I was feeling like as problem free as a...as whatever that is problem free right now.

So here I am up at 2, recollecting friday's events and thinking about how badly I failed at wanting to adjust my sleeping patterns back to normal.

P.S BONES SEASON 7 TOMORROW. Missed the first ep but all's good they are going to replay it and imma watch the shit out of it. Bones preggers + Booth with his dreamy dreamy bedroom eyes = awesome possum.
