Was it about The Wine Company or the wine and the company?
(Shut up about me and drinking already - I told you I talk about drinking alot, but I don't find someone to drink with me everytime I mention alcohol and it's lonely drinking alone so it's mostly air so shutup =p)
So it was work, dinner @ BordersBistro (where I learnt what the hell speed really was - sha, you're so not speeding lor =x) where I learnt that the pizza should be SHARED between two people and not tackled alone, then it was off to Dempsey Road.
Eh, at the risk of sounding damn suaku, I've never been in there lor. I swear prior to last night, I didn't know there was anything in there except Samy's Curry and even then I'd never been there =x
To be honest, it was a little awkward at the beginning. Daniel to my left, blinkymummy opposite him, and Moby Beng opposite me - who to talk to leh? All also don't really know. =x But it got better as the wine started warming me up and I started talking alot. Hell lot. And a little too loudly too I think, but I hope hope hope that it's just the wine amplifying me in my head ok? =x
The only things I really remember (memory obstructed by lack of O 2 from all that laughing):
- Blinkymummy getting suaned - the whole night
- Blinkymummy's band, with Daniel roped in, and something about school uniforms for their first gig. And me volunteering my SCGS uniform for Daniel =x buahaha, what's with all that lending my uniform for guys to cross dress man...
- Blinkymummy's bugging the stuff to let her share the potato chips she bought with us
- Kengmeng msging me about round 2 of attacks on London, which stunned people for a moment but I guess at that time wine was more important =)
- My introduction to Riesling, courtesy of Injenue. He's right - It's ambrosia compared to the normal wines, and this is supposedly not as good as the previous ones he's tried. I guess my liking it has to do with me being a girl and liking sweeter wines =p
- The toilet cubicles have no locks. either that or I was too stupid to find. Someone tell me which one's true =x
- The lack of drinking kakis who are in my social circle and live in the West Period.
And this morning I stumbled out of bed with my head going in rounds. hehe.
So thanks for the fun last night:

Numbers, because I'm bored on a Fri morning

From here: (thanks to Sinchang)
You are in a state of constant expectation and want interesting and exciting things to happen to you. But in fact, you are a 'Walter Mitty' at times - a dreamer - over-imaginative and often given to fantasy or day-dreaming. There is nothing wrong in 'dreaming' - how boring life would be if one just followed the doctrines of everyday life - but one must not continue leading a life of continuous fantasy. You need to face reality in spite of all its possible shortcomings. (sobs...But I don't wanna come crashing down to earth! =( )
Always anxious to accept the role of the leader (not true leh. I'd rather be follower, but sometimes lanlan have to be leader), as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.
There are times of everyone's life when 'compromise' is the name of the game and this is the time, so you have no alternative but to forgo some pleasures for the time being. You are capable of achieving satisfaction through physical activity. (what physical activity??? =x)
Your willpower and stamina are in danger of being overwhelmed by excessive stress. Your resilience and tenacity have become weakened. (see la, too lazy to do sports la, fayeth. This is what you get for being lazy - you lose tenacity) You are feeling overtaxed, worn out and getting nowhere: but you continue to stand your ground. You feel that this unfavourable situation is an encumbrance which you could well do without and you find yourself unable to make the necessary decisions at this particular moment in time to change anything.
Trying to cope with conditions which you think are beyond your capabilities has led to considerable anxiety and stress. You now feel that you are not capable of coping with this situation and indeed any situation which could arise from what you consider to be your personal inadequacy. (yar lor. How to file GST? how to E-file GST? Everything also dunno. gahmen want me to file GST end of this month, but they only send me for course next month =( )

Please remember to pee in the morning, no matter how sleepy/tired you are, because when you're facing a 1.5hr bus ride ahead, you don't want to be doing it on a full bladder.
In other news: The bus uncle captain decided to be really charitable today, and stop for every single person who flagged for the bus, even though the bus was crammed beyond crammed and one could kill with a stink bomb in there. I'll bet he sensed my full bladder and decided to prolong my journey today. !@O#&!()#&!#^!)#&!()@&
And then first thing in the morning, my boss asks me to cash a cheque and bring it to the money changer's. Nothing difficult right?
Not when you really really need to pee but have to spend the next 15min doing what your boss tells you. I mean, I LIKE MY BOSS. it's just this morning. When I'm sleepy. And really need to pee. Then I get really grumpy.
I have un-antisocialised myself!
My friends will know - I seldom accede to requests to meet up on the same day. Being the dua pai person that I am, I require prior appointments made (actually no, I'm just not a very spontaneous person and I like to have my day go according to plan.) at least a full day in advance. Very anal right?
But back to the topic. Yes, I have un-antisocialised myself. As a result of Saturday's conference, I have developed a new resolve to be social. (heaven knows how long this'll last =x)
And so, I agreed a lunchtime invitation to dinner with Injenue, Donaq, Kingmeng and purportedly, Hejin
At the last minute, I was told Hejin couldn't make it. #!*#)#*!@()#! I agreed to go because I was afraid a fifteen-year old vs 3 mid-twenties guys is just unsafe for her. hahaha. *ahem* Chaperone, you see.
Anyway, met the guys at PS for Macs dinner. Where blinkymummy and her friend Huilong joined us, then proceeded to play with their Happy Meal Toys *cue sweatdrop*
Very cute leh these two. Normal band: 2 guitarists, 1 drummer. Their "band": 2 drummers, 1 guitarist. *cue sweatdrop again*
(sidenote: Also saw Apple Lim there - she of verypoisonouslady.blogspot.com fame, and was born exactly 2 years before me, to the date)
Yes, so while BM and Huilong went off for their drum class, the rest of us (the guys + me + IceBreeze) went to Kbox.
You see, the past times I've been to kbox have been with Shalene or Fiona or my juniors. All of whom I'm significantly more comfortable zao siaing with and acting like a freaking groupie with. Last night, I suppressed all urges to sing normal sappy songs because I was singing with a bunch of ah bengs. HEH.
On previous occasions, when going to the loo (what's with all the pee things today), I'd walk past rooms with what I presume are ah bengs inside singing to Mayday, with that distinctly taiwanese rocker way of singing every single song.
Last night, I K-ed with a bunch of them ;p
Before you guys come and whack me, I have to say - THIS IS A COMPLIMENT.
Injenue, I especially like your (singing) voice. Can I cut off your vocal cords and transplant them to my brother's or something? Please? Prrettyyyy Pleeeassseee???? LOL Next time I meet up with you, I'll bring scissors and anaesthetic ok?
Yeah but jokes aside, I think I've to apologise to the guys last night, because I was really sleepy after awhile (might've been the oxygen deprivation from all that laughing during dinner), and was really not-very-social during the Kbox session. I tried, ok...I tried to be really upbeat and lively or whatever, but really lar, abit hard to pretend I'm full of energy when I don't get your inside jokes la =p heh
If you think these few days have been loaded with entries, you'll be surprised. i still have entire entries typed into my mobile phone that I haven't posted here yet =x See, when I wanna talk, i will ok? =D

To the people I met on Saturday,
I enjoyed talking to you guys, so at the risk of sounding like a freaking "I wanna expand my friends list" teenager, add me on MSN if you will: self_righteous@imneverwrong.com =)
I'm not cool like you guys but I'll try! *sobs*
bwahahahah
If I wanted to be poisonous, I could say that one shouldn't ask for opinions if...
Forget it.
Anything to say, please say to my face. =)
Would you demand honesty of me if you chose not to similarly give it to me?
Thank you.

We won't be moving to BTC after all... After all that hoo-haa about us winning back the Bt Timah Campus after SMU vacates, our triumphant return will be led and followed and kept up by....
Faculty of Law. And only them.
The rest of us can stop pretending to be being concerned now.
"After serious consideration and discussions with the Deans of the Business and Law Schools, the university has decided that the Business School will remain at Kent Ridge, but also have a facility at Bukit Timah in which it can conduct enhancement and enrichment programs that will bring alumni, students and faculty together. Very importantly, the facilities at Kent Ridge for the Business School will be substantially expanded and upgraded with state-of-the-art facilities. The Council, President and Provost strongly support this decision and it is a clear signal that the University supports our desire for the Business School to become a center of excellence. I anticipate that we will begin evaluating our expansion options this coming semester and move toward initiating our Kent Ridge expansion in 2006. With such new facilities, we will be well on the road to achieve our global ambitions and aspirations."

It's Monday, 9.17am.
And already, the Page Loads for today has exceeded any of the days prior to Saturday.
=x
Secrecy no more...
Time to start un-anti-social-ising this blog =p

[edited. Sorry, my laptop's really down. Taht's why this update took so long, and it was only half-baked when I published it.]
Coupled with Ingo @ Wala Wala on Friday, this had to be my most non-anti-social weekend ever. (and I have a KTV session coming up on Monday! Whee!)
I won't go into details of the convention itself, but suffice to say, many many people were there (and many of you found out about my lurking =x)
So here's a list of the people I remember meeting or seeing (to anyone I left out, please leave a comment or message =x)
Sheena, Gabriel, Zhiyang, mr/mrs/miss/master brown, Mr Miyagi, jseng- huileng-yauyau, preetam, Adri, calmone, Xiaxue, Cowboycaleb, Daryl Sng, Scarlett Ting, Sassyjan, suspiciousbastard, DonAQ, Injenue, Eileen, Evan/Straydog Scraps, Airhole, SPG, KingMeng, NaiveGuy, Blinkymummy, Daniel, The Associate, Barffie, BigFuck, SillyCelly, expat@large, Makanguru
First Impressions of the people I spoke to:
Zhiyang: Awfully shy, nice curly hair (on his head la, dammit), has an extreme obsession with *ahem* =) aside to Zhiyang:if you don't get online soon, i'm not sending u pics of *ahem* liao hor! =p
Sheena (who needs no more comments or introduction =p), (extra me) and Zhiyang
Family brown: Watching them all is enough to warm your heart. How can you not love these two kids?
 
Mrs Lee/brown was very accomodating. One can see why she's commonly described by others as the silent pillar of strength. And I don't know if I'd allow strangers to carry my children like she allowed Sheena and I to carry hers =)
Scarlett Ting and Sassyjan: Really really very friendly people, especially Ting. Both of them insist that they needed to photoshop their photos before uploading, but I disagree. The only photoshop I did for them was Ting's twirl =p
Sassyjan, (extra me) and Ting.
With an even more extra Kenny Sia behind =p
Kenny Sia: no need to post pictures of him or say more about him la. =p Funny faces everywhere.
Adrian/DonAQ: The Evil one. I told him he looked like the evil younger brother of the nice mrbrown. Now I realise I've made a mistake. he really looks more like the evil younger brother of Sheena. Don't believe me? See for yourself. Also very excited (understandably) by tits.
Gerald/Injenue: He sounds like the live version of the cowboybar conversation motto, "All topics lead to...sex" haha...I'm kidding. Actually, i'm not sure if I'm kidding. Took a little while to warm up to talk to him, but interesting person to speak to =p
King Meng: Had a nice side conversation with him...Feeling a little *blah* that I can't help him with his jobsearch even though I work in recruitment... Another one of those twists in life: He's a Comp Engineer working in Auditing, while I'm a Biz major working in Engineering recruitment. lol. [ sorry, wrong info =x] The fastest one to reach my blog too =p
Big Fuck: he is THE Big Fuck, I tell ya. Lol. One of those who writes as he is. Everytime I see him, I have an urge to laugh. Too bad the alcohol was pathetic, if not it'd have been fun to see what he spews when drunk =p Very friendly.
Sheena, Don AQ, Injenue, KingMeng and Big Fuck.
Evan/StrayDog: The Funkiest Uncle alive! (And I don't mean his smell ok!) He really exudes this funky vibe I tell you...Very in-tune with young-people stuff. Hope we didn't leave you out! =D 
Don AQ, (err dunno who), Blinkymummy, KingMeng, Evan
Eileen: The babe is super funny. I don't know why, but hearing her speak in Hokkien just sounds as funny as listening to my boss try to speak in Mandarin =p Very down-to-earth point of view, but manages to remain funny-as-hell still =p
Eileen in the middle
Suspicious bastard: Knows YC (yo, yc, u reading this?) from back in sec school days, has very interesting way of talking. Need some more thinking in-depth than normal in order to know the links of what he just said to the topic at hand. Quietly funny in his own way.
 ( materials engineer @ work. heh)
Airhole: Super friendly person. Photo defaced at his request. Little dynamo...
These are the people I spoke to...There were so many many more I didn't dare speak to or take pictures with. Shy la. lol.
I think I've gotten to speak to more new people these two days than I normally do in a month (eeks). Also, despite my "vow" of secrecy, I've told some people my URL, as well as how to find my url via Sheena. Let's hope I don't regret this =x
By the way, Sheena, If that ST reporter didn't publish the story abt u cos I didn't wanna give my URL, sorry ok...Figured this morning that I should've given my really old URL, like one of those that has its last post dated 2003 or something =x
The story on Bloggers.SG was sucky anyway. Just because she wasn't made to feel welcome didn't mean it was a boring thing. =x heh
