On the night before, we stayed up late on MSN to discuss what to do for Saturday, but everyone had things to do. We ended up having no plans for the day.
For me, I woke up at around noon time and went straight to the post office at White Sands to send my package since they were opened for a half-day (I found it stupid that I was unable to buy toploaders for the past few days and yet I found two long-forgotten ones sitting in my messy drawer).
After that, I went to AMK since it was just another typical Saturday. Oh, I forgot they were having a YuGay tournament. JokerZ, Himura and gang were there, though. We waited over an hour until we finally had some tables to ourselves. We played some VS to pass the time and then Kyo SMS'ed me to tell me that they had plans for dinner after all. His SMS contained smiley faces which were unnatural and made me wonder if someone had hijacked Kyo's handphone. hehe. Orchi and the rest wanted to have dinner first so I joined them and had some carrot cake to tide me over until the later dinner. Darrell seemed like he wanted more and decides to join me for the later dinner, too.
Everyone else arrived at around 9-something; Akira, Brainy, Kyo, Fengo and Maggie. At first, we went to Breeks but their regular menu was replaced by some fancy Christmas menu with a super narrow selection of obscenely expensive set meals. We left the place and went to Pizza Hut instead. As usual, everyone shared pizza whereas I tried the 'Make-Your-Own Pasta'. Surprisingly, I liked it very much; it is not as soggy as the one from Pastamania. I also had dessert which consisted of brownie & ice-cream.
After that, we all went home. At night was more "what to do on Christmas"-type discussion and as usual, we couldn't think of anything fun to do.
Oh, and I received a Christmas card from Japan. It was from the Yahoo deputy agent who had helped me before with Japanese auctions. How nice of her to remember. The card had some sort of cotton imprint on it. I have no idea how it was made. At first I couldn't figure out what it was until I recalled that it was one of her store's mascot.
Sunday (Christmas)
I woke up at around noontime. Once again, the "what to do on Christmas" discussion continued till around 4 pm. Then finally, someone suggested eating at Han's at Parkmall. It was a last-minute thing and we agreed to meet at 6 pm.
Everyone was late. I got lost in the maze that is Dhoby Ghaut MRT station because it had so many staircases. Darrell managed to find me even though we were at different exits (the NE line and NS line). Then Mango came along and showed us where the Zone-X arcade is (*gasp* an arcade in the MRT station). We played a bit till the rest arrived then we went to Parkmall.
I didn't really know what Han's was like then I realized that it was a quaint little cafe. I had the chicken chop meal with soup and cake for dessert. It was a very simple & filling dinner, and the price was right (no GST or hidden costs).
After dinner, we were really stuck. We had no other plans for the day. We went to the arcade to play some more then decided to go walk-walk at Orchard. We took the MRT from Dhoby Ghaut to Orchard. We went to Borders for a while then began our aimless wandering from Orchard back to Dhoby Ghaut again. We didn't have any other better plan. Orchard Road was very mobbed and they had a lot of officers to help in crowd control. After that, it was time to go home.
Well, that's it for Christmas. Six days from now, I will be like "what to do for New Year" all over again.
