Welcome, boring me.

This write up is gonna be so boring.... Just feel it.... I'm really feel like a lazy bum now, despite having stuff a week ago...

Speaking of which... 9 days have past since my birthday, and it seemed pretty much more special than my other 19 birthdays...

Finally got the motivation to try celebrating with friends,  and thought of a real crazy idea to eat out... Durians!!! And I celebrated it on two days somemore! Well, actually I was very concerned that the crowd would grow out to be too big, and that they may not be clicking with each other... Which is why I had an outing with my poly groupmates on the first day, and my Ultimate Frisbee Team on the next.

Last Thursday
------------------------
The first durian feast wasn't really that bad.... I was actually early after getting a call from Adecco in the afternoon, that I might have a three day assignment, using Mircrosoft Office's Mail Merge to do Admininstrative Documents at Thomson Road.

So from Khatib, I got on a bus (853), and I swear that's a freaking fast bus. And it's cheaper than the alternative MRT ride! Still I really regreted that I came that early to wait, because my friends were ALL LATE. Yes. ALL LATE.

Two of my friends came first, which quite helped alot, but not quite the fact that we sat at one of durian stalls waiting an hour for the rest to come. The thought of occupying the seats of durian stall didn't comfort me at all...

And came they did... we got around 9 durians for thirty bucks, and ate them all. 7 were okay, although it's obvious that it isn't fresh and has been here for a while. 1 tasted like a yellow piece of tasteless pulp, and the last one... was actually nice...

Some of us got up to buy durians for our parents, before we got off to drink some soya bean milk and heading back home. Nothing noticable, except that our group's bargain king, Nick, got one chunk of his wallet bitten off by the durian seller. 3 durians for 50 bucks??? and after much bargaining too! Very convinced that the store is a real bad choice made...

The hell, could have gotten twice that number for the same amount of $$ in malaysia man... Anyway, TX and I got real high from taking a nibble from one of the three costly fruits. and made a theory that this is the type of durian that grows on Brandy, or XO... heh heh great crap manz.


Last Friday
-----------------

The arrival of me was the very opposite of what happened yesterday... haha...

I got on a bus (961) from woodlands after taking care of my grandma, and it was one HELL of a boring ride... It was going well on its way to Geylang, until the bus took a turn for the worse by going to Bukit Merah after Newton Circus. And it went on a tour around outram park, the Singapore General Hospital, Chinatown, The CITY Area, and got itself stuck in a jam on the road to kallang (nicoll highway went bang, and diversions = jams).

All the bus needs is a tour guide and a group of tourists.

I finally arrived at 9pm, staring at group of hungry wolves... they must have not eaten dinner yet...

And so we went to have some horfun, and went for the durians!!!! Again YAHOO!!! This time, we got to another stall and had one hell of a time there... One of us had a crazy idea: to have durians from each of the categories available. The first one, a big Sultan Durian. got really high on that one, like the ones Nick bought~ really good bitter taste.

After which we went for next few durians... Apparently nigel has a tad feeling that durians with creepie crawlies ain't nice... In fact, it's quite the opposite! The ants have a real good taste for great durians, and my mom told me that durians that was attacked by squirrels (?) are often the best-tasting durians...

And teaching people attempting to break apart the hard shells, are of course a good experience!

And do you know that washing your hands, or rinsing your mouth with flowing water through a durian husk gets rid of the odour from them? although nigel was like almost puking after a little rinsing... heh heh...

Got the husky advice from Ah Heng, Thanks a lot man!!!

Then we got around the red light districts of Geylang....  'whoring' around, and getting into a sex toy shop (first timer here).

From there, we did some other chatty stuff, and went home....

got on the bus with one friend, and talked much about the PROs in geylang and their values if they chose another route. But the main thing off my chest was that I talked out the misunderstanding with her sometime back :)

Another chapter closed....
