Southbound I: Early Christmas
It's not even a week yet and I'm already posting about my trip to KH-land? Amazing, huh? Oh well. When you feel like shitting, do go to the toilet, or it might result in irregular bowel movement. Hell, I think it applies to blogging too. So here goes. Primary objective: Spend time with KH before we go bonkers. Secondary objective: Christmas shopping and the famous Orchard Street decor.
Went down to Singapore with SK on Friday afternoon after a very early office Christmas gift exchange at RedBox Ria, Sogo. We went with the Secret Santa concept. Budget-- minimum MYR20.00. Got my colleague a designer key-chain. It's basically a metallic pig with a screw-on tail. Sorry, no pic. And in exchange for my early shopping troubles, I got a wine cooler. Quite useful when it comes to boozing at SK's. :P. And my colleague from Myanmar, Phyoe, threw in a Japanese fortune cat charm and a greeting card for everyone. My songlist for the day:
After lunch, I went over to meet SK at Puduraya. The journey took more than 6 hours due to the rain and the jam at the causeway. On the way there, we were entertained by a Thai movie about a kickboxer who goes to the United States to rescue his elephant "relatives". Fighting all the way. I just don't get what a transvestite underworld crime lord would want with elephant bones. Passed by Geylang on the way to Jalan Sultan and SK and I both noticed the Gay World Hotel although the sign was quite small. XD. By the time we arrived, KH was nearly separa pengsan from tiredness and hunger. Sweet of KH to wait for us for dinner.
Dinner was at Lai Lai Family Restaurant at Bugis. They specialize in Taiwanese beef noodles. Didn't try it however. Ordered their dinner set of stewed beef tendons, fried squid with acar, Oyster Sauce and Rice Wine Kailan, herbal chicken soup and milk tea. As it was getting late, KH and I took a cab to Kallang MRT to get back to KH's place, while SK continued on to Geylang Bahru to bunk with an ex-schoolmate.
... to be continued ...
PS: It seems that the Christians in Myanmar have a tradition of wishing each other "Sweet December" on the 1st of December.

- Theresa Teng's What Will You Say -- dueted with my colleague complete with hand gestures
- The Carpenter's Yesterday Once More -- they didn't have my favourite Goodbye To Love
- Cyindi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun -- complete with nasal voice
- ???'s Total Eclipse of the Heart -- a cover version by a HK artiste
- ???'s Cross My Heart -- also complete with cheesy hand gestures
- Rihanna's Umbrella -- Ella Ella Ella Eh Eh Eh
