Beauty, Beast and the Birthday Boy

It was quite a weekend.

caught wild rice's beauty and the beast on fri nite w ben, jacq and andrea.
the show was fantastic. super funny and entertaining.
worth every cent paid. quite unlike victor/victoria.
and even b4 the show started, there was drama liao.

while gng to pick up jacq n andrea from work, i realized i had forgotten the tix.
cant freaking believe it still dat i had forgetten them.
it was 6.45pm when i realized it and the show was to start at 7.30pm.

rushed like mad back home to grab the tix n rushed all the way back to drama centre.
reached the theatre at 7.40pm and thankfully the show started a little late and so i din miss much.
but i kinda spent the first 15mins trying to catch my breath.
note to self: do not buy row 1 seats on circle 2 at drama centre.

it was dinner time after the show and we went to geylang for beef horfun.
had quite a bit to eat and after dat, it was yonghe tau huay for dessert.
was super stuffed dat nite.

and the nite was nowhere near over coz i headed over to ivy's place for mj.
started at 2am and din end till almost 7am. played like 2 rounds i think. or 1 1/2. cant rem liao.
lost $9 dat nite.

got out of bed ard 1pm on sat and met ben n jacq at vivo to look for presents for the good friends.
walked ard, saw some stuff, bought some stuff.
and soon it was time to head to Rocks for john's bday dinner.
happy belated birthday john!
not even sure if he reads my blog. lol.

food there is quite good. the cod was a little dry. i din really like the super crispy skin on my trout. but i loved the meat.
john's medium rare steak was fantastic.
their truffle mash potato side was absolutely heaven.

after dinner, peter headed to sentosa for zoukout while fel was headed to ade's place to go for zoukout.
ben sent jacq home coz she wasn't feeling too well.
ewen n i went over to john's place to chill in his newly renovated room. and it looked great!
love his sink n shower as well as his cupboard. made me wish i had space like dat in my room.
prolly need a complete spring clean of my room to find new space. but dat might take me like 1 whole week to clean out.

sunday was nice n quiet as always (i think).
met up w jarrod n michelle for brunch. havent seen michelle since we last met up BEFORE jarrod left for melb.
brunch was at simply bread at guthrie hse. nice simple sandwiches there. yummers!

den i met up w ben to take a look at the stuff we're planning to get for jacq. but it din quite fit the criteria.
so it's the backup gifts for jacq then. also bought the present for john.
went over to ben's place to wrap them up b4 headed to holy cross w jacq for mass.

and i juz realized dat i had been out w ben n jacq for 3 days in a row. hahaha...
useless bit of interesting information.

back to work today... feeling kinda lazy still. trying to get the "engine" restarted n running again.
the boss has assigned me a project in sg. which means i prolly wun b travelling ard till at least feb.
hoping to finish most of the work by 3rd week of jan so i can go HK in feb. *crosses fingers*

and on a side note, i've kinda restarted my collection of my starwars lego.
kinda spent 1.5k on 3 sets in the last 3weeks.
awesome stuff but i need to find a place to keep them.
they're at peter's hse for now but i'm planning to bring them home this weekend.

it's now abt 2 weeks to christmas. cant wait.
