Had my steamboat dinner last night with old friends... All of them still as fun and as crappy as they were during secondary school...
Desmond, in particular, looks to be having a lot of fun in Ngee Ann Poly (kinda regretted not going there, heh), cheeks grown pink due to constant fun in the Sun, and I had a chat with him about school life and found out that his life in poly is much more better than mine... (sigh~)
Anyway... back to the dinner, I reached Marina at about 6+ (some 15 minutes after the meeting time) with Bert, Wee and Lee Yi. True to customary 07 slackers custom, there were quite a few others who came later than my group, but everyone had no qualms about waiting for them at the hot and stuffy Marina Bay station. Finally everyone arrived and we set off towards the bus stop, and even before we reach it, we were coerced into a minivan and set off for the steamboat 'restaurant'... (Bad choice if you asked me, was expecting something nicer like the Ma La steamboat.)
Wasn't the most hygenic of places, even had a dead fly (gulp!) on the table that needed to be wiped off... but they did had some nice food on selection. So we just happily chatted and dined (couldnt go much into this, hard to describe :P) all the way through the night till around 10, before we set off for the Gaming Arcade nearby.
We walked into the Arcade in a big group, by that time there wasn't much people in there so we literally had the whole place to ourselves. Played a race of Daytona with 4 other friends, after which, watched a friend play Virtual Cop 3 all the way towards the end with just 1 credit (amazing how he got so far, if you ask me)... Finally the whole group gathered by the drum machines, and watch two guys, Ben Chen and Kang Tai, beat the drums away. Birthday boy Ben certainly hit the drums well in sync, chalking up 300 combi hits at one time, Im so utterly amazed... dun think i can ever do that.. hahz.
After which, we all left the Arcade, and managed to catch the last train back to Kranji. It was a typically late night outing for all the guys, and we kinda treated one of the carriage as ours, both row of seats occupied by us only, talking and laughing loudly, as if the whole train was ours. Perfect way to end a outing.
We alighted at Woodlands and headed seperate ways home by cab. I wanted to watch Euro 2004 when I reached home since its already 2am... but the longer i sit idle on the sofa, the more I want to sleep...so in the end... its zzZzzzZzzzz.....
