Juz like last year. this year's newyear celebration had been a funfilled one! another trip out with the gang!

but the planning was a tough one. we were compromising with each other with where to go for the countdown and what to do before it. so caier got fedup with the planning and i helped him with co-ordinating. and we changed from siloso beach party to zouk outdoor countdown to clubbing to national musuem to kbox.

and in the end. guess wat. we went to Miramar Hotel for their Chinese cuisine buffet.

i shall exclaim it out loud.

DO NOT, be warned, DO NOT GO FOR THEIR DINNER BUFFETS!

one of the major complains we had was the serving size. we ordered BIG servings since there were 5 of us. and in the end, it turned out small. for the first few plates we controlled and ignored the mistakes made. But after a few rounds. we got pissed off with it becoz its almost impossible for 5 of us to share this small plate of scrabbled egg with scallops. of which the scallops were like shredded into million pieces coz it looked ridiculously small. So we talked the their waiter first. in vain, we decided to follow the commercial pyramid and went to sound out our problem( or theirs) to one of their supervisors over there.

and i muz say. we were all quite pissed off by the supervisor's response. coz we thought he understood our problem and thus, expected some changes to the serving size.

but ta-da, the next 5 dishes were of no difference. everything small and skimpy. excuse me. but i dun pay 20plus bucks to eat somethin worse than zhi-char.

we went to tell another supervisor of theirs. a lady. she was polite and apologised for the mistakes. she told us its becoz the kitchen was short-handed and thus, they had difficulty following the correct orders.

we even witnessed some honkong guy from the table beside us yelling and complainin to the supervisor about the serving size.

" u juz tell me. wats wrong with my original order?! why muz yall change it to a smaller size? is this how u all work?!"

i never gg to work in service industry.

so in the end everythin came in big servings. and fyi. on the orderlist itself, theres this marvellous sentence.

' Balance Food Will Be Charged Into a-la-carte Prices'

HOW FOXY!

coz we ordered alot. juz in case they didnt amend the problem and we certainly do not want to enjoy our buffet eating somethin of bite-size serving. so in the end. the last 7 dishes we ordered all came in BIG servings.

damn crafty right. beginnin give us small small servings until we got fedup and ordered alot. den there they served BIG servings since we muz be quite full oredi. tihnking dat the last few small dishes won't kill.

*ka-pui!*

we got a big shock when we saw the dishes coming in big servings. so in the end, we did somethin of utmost embarassment.

we squeezed and cramped the food inside our mouths and went to the toilet to flush it away.

*dig hole and hide*

so we ended the whole buffet with diluted and watery watermelon sago.

hurray to the last dinner of 2006!

***

after the whole woo-ha dinner. we went to boatquay and was resting at the big 'concourse' outside the mrt station. shit i forgot the name. but never mind. we were sitting at the stairs juz like the hundreds, waiting for the fireworks, which was like, an hour later.

so we were chitchatting and catching up. tok cock sing song.

30mins passed and the topics started running out. so in the end. we compromised and decided to go to a pub to hangout instead of squeezin our ass off in the crowd.

and as usual. we walked the same street back and forth for 5 times before we decided to settle down at this 80s bar which in my opinion, a bar solely for ahbengs whose vocal cords went haywired coz they cant control their volume. and oso with no meaning to the bar's name. which supposed to give an impression of a retro feel.

we ordered chivasregal and were sharing a small table with few cans of coke as the mixer. luckily the mixers were free-flowed. everytime we went over to the bar to ask for more mixer, the bartender will give us like 3-4 cans. so throughout the whole drinkin session. we went over the bar like nearly 10times.

so we kept playing games. finger-guessing. poker cards. dices. lotsa lotsa drinking games. until caier and peitang buai tahan and withdrew from the game. so left me and andy playing and drinking. so sian! i kept losing and drinking la! walao!

Andy and i were playing dices. hard to explain la. but its the standard thing la - loser drinks. and i got no idea why i kept losing. so i was drinkin and drinkin and drinkin non-stop. while andy was happily shouting "HE SI NI! HE SI NI! "

and yesh. the other two? happily sitting down there.

there was a pool table down there oso. so they went over to play. leaving both of us playing drinking playing drinkin playing drinking. they also had a mini-countdown in the pub itself. a very boliao one i muz say. when everyone shouted " HAPPYNEWYEAR". they all suddenly took out aerosol sprays from dunno where. and sadly to say, our table was the only one w/o any of the weapons. pathetic shits. so while the rest spray and hav fun. we were sitting down there kena random attacks. how fun. hah hah hah...

screw the ahbengs.

and afterwhich. we continued playing the drinking until theres no tmr.

yes. we = andy and i.

Andy den came out this oh-my-gawd idea which i shant elaborate on.

so we left the pub at ard 3. looking for cabbies. and bingo. we walked for ard 30mins in no avail.

and we were doing wat seemed like gangster-act while walking on the streets. like playing with the boards and beachumbrellas etc etc. and i was blabbering about DaChangJin on our aimless walk. irritatin the hell of the rest of da gang. but hey, its alot better than a lonely topic-less walk rite?

Ladyluck came when Andy bought his ready-to-eat flavored soba at 7-11. we hopped on the cab and headed back home. reached at abt 430 and fell asleep almost immediately. after bathing of coz.

A reli enjoyable nightsout with da gang. a good start off for the year2007. thanx alot! =)

p/s my room's gonna be ready in no time! all r welcomed!
