goodness me... think it's been ages since i last blogged. Last weekend was a blast. We had a little internal KTV competition on Fri cos we all love to sing and it was a silly idea conceived by chris, dan and me on a lazy sun afternoon at 4th. =) So off we went. We even had 3 honourable judges, Selena, Marilyn and Nat, ala American Idol. CK won like 5 out of 8 categories?? It was super fun, super nerve-wrecking as well cos the judges were SO SERIOUS. They even had SCORESHEETS. CK has like a BEAUTIFUL voice. Chris and I were just so impressed that we replayed his video clip FIF-ty times at least. =)


We spent Fri and Sat night at Nat's place. I think I quite miss actually having different rooms in a house. I was so happy when i saw we could walk from the living room to the bedroom to the bathroom to the basement to the kitchen. Back at my place, it's just MY ROOM. haha. First night was spent taking SALSA revision lessons from YX (who dances super duper well) cos we all didnt want to look stupid at the salsa club we were going to on tues night. That was good. Even the non-salsa pple were pulled in to learn. Nat is an extremely fast learner. I think she got all the steps we took 3 lessons to cover in 30mins? =) DAN however, took 30mins to get the BASIC step. haha =) But we all had fun that night. It was more cranium after that and we finally crashed close to daybreak.

SAT was LOCAL DELIGHTS day. haha =) we had CHICKEN RICE. Authentic hainanese chicken rice 16,000km away feels like heaven. Even thought the portion was a little small and we waited a little long, it was all worth it =) We went to metrotown for a little shopping before setting off to get food for the much awaited STEAMBOAT dinner. Back at Nat's place, it was a flurry of action... girls cutting vege, getting the food ready, dan with the mushrooms, the other guys setting up the fire and everything. Perfect coordination. =) Perfect dinner.

And guess what? Just yesterday, we went down to seattle again. This time it was a pure shopping trip for the San Fran pple who didnt manage to go down with us the last time. The weather was lovely yesterday. It was all sunny and happy. We took it as a sign to shop more. haha.
Think the realisation that we're all gonna be heading home soon is starting to sink in for everyone. Some yearn to head back, some havent really spent enough time here. Oh well. I'm just happy to even BE HERE. So there. Time to take out the comforter, it's getting cold...
