The Most Important Age

Yvonne is one of my friends who will be turning 21 first. 2 days later will be Wee Khiang's. However, the Chinese New Year of this Ox Year falls on late January, they have to celebrate their birthday earlier, and so happens that their celebrations falls on the same day and the same time. But since Khiang invited me over first, and that time I was fully unawared that Yvonne is going to hold hers on the same day, I have to support my brotherhood. To make it up, we will have a separate outing with her on her actual birthday to celebrate.

Right after my Japanese class yesterday, I went back home to put down my books before I head to Tampines Mall to meet up with Alvin, Kai Yan, Potato and Meng Yong to get Khiang's present. I met them at Mos Burger first, and when we went up one level via the escalator, I saw Tze Keong standing outside The Face Shop. I called him immediately. At the same time, Alvin tried to see who was it since Yvonne and I have been talking about he and his gang when he are reminiscing our secondary school memories. I should have introduced him to them. Silly Me.

Actually, there are more people with him: Rong Teng, Wei Tian and Xiujun. Xiujun is still as cheerful as ever. Nice to see her. We had a small chat while waiting for Alex to come. It seemed that they are also getting Yvonne's present like us getting Khiang's at the last minute. Haha.

I went up as fast as I can after the chat, and I found my other gang in Popular and still not yet bought the guitar. They wanted to seek my opinion. I'm not really good at looking at guitar since I myself does not have any musical background, except for the pathetic knowledge of playing a recorder, so I stared at the guitar for a while and make sure that it is at good condition before getting it. I also tried to look for Basic Scores for Beginners, but the outlet has none. Sigh.

The guys also wanted to get some alcoholic drink before going to his party. We made our way down to Fairprice, and Potato greeted to Weiliang (The Ex-TPJC student who is Mrs Tay's son), and of course I know him. Surprisingly, Weiliang said I looked familiar to him but he just can't recall who am I. It does not really matter to me since I have never talk to him before. And after we got a bottle of 40% Volka, I saw my Aunt and his husband. After meeting these people, I've been wondering, why I would not meet my friends when I shopping in Tampines Mall alone?

MSG Eva is already there, unentertained, when we reached there. We chatted a lot and played Black Jack for a few rounds. For that few rounds, Potato and Meng Yong have been very busy entertaining all of us as Potato has been losing when he is the banker, while Meng Yong kept winning everytime Potato gave up the position to him. Darrell and Jiun Yan also came shortly when we started playing poker. However, the only people staying over are me, Potato, Meng Yong, Kai Yan and Ming Jie who arrived the latest since he has to work till 10pm. Again, alcohol starting to drive people crazy when some of us started drinking it. Our group should be the most rowdy one in the chalet... Sigh.

I slept the earliest when the group decided to play Mahjong. I thought since I am not good at playing that game, I rather use the time to sleep. Haha.

After surveying most of the CSC people, they decide not to hold any chalet kind of party. Should I hold a similiar party as Khiang? Or Not?
