Don't get me wrong. I'm talking about the hole of my wallet.
Shortly after the 2 gift exchange sessions with uni friends, there were 2 more gatherings with old friends.
First up was the JK gang. However, the attendance was not very good as the meeting was fixed at Christmas Eve. The usual occasion for family to be together instead of friends. So only 5 managed to come, but 2 of them, Joel and Russell would leave at night. I met the other 4 when I'm done with my lunch at home. Yi Sheng and Russell were still having their lunch at McDonalds when I reached at 2.30pm. Jiunn Kai and Joel ordered some fries and nuggets to share, while I watched them eat.
While we were chatting, Stupid Joel and Yi Sheng paired up again and began to shoot S.H.E again... We walked everywhere around the 3 malls before our movie, Little Fockers, starts. Russell left before the movie; Joel left after the movie.
The 3 leftovers could not decide what to eat. In the end, they ended up in Diao Xiao Er, and I finally have a chance to taste it... At the expense of making the wallet hole bigger of course. But, the money was worth it since the meal was great.
The 3 of us had nowhere else to go, so Jiunn Kai suggested going to SunPlaza Park for a swing ride. But we were shocked to see that the swings were replaced by 2 basket-like swings. The swinging power was not too great because of the bulkiness, but was comfortable to lie on it while it swings.
There was another strange looking thing stood at the location where there used to be another swing-like thing that you can sit on it and swing yourself to the other side. It looked like a blue balancer. Jiunn Kai and I went up and tried. Yup, it worked like an ordinary see-saw, the only difference is you are in standing position. However, we do not see anything safe with that thing. But we had the greatest fun playing that... in another way...
We also had a couple of spin on some big circular plate before sitting down somewhere in the playground, on top of the slide. We had some boring games before playing 5, 10 and 15 without alcoholic drinks. The punishment is to do whatever the winner told us to do, something physically exhausting things such as climbing up and down and slide. Jiuun Kai emerged the overall winner, while Yi Sheng and I did not seem to win any of the rounds at all. But I did get punishment for saying numbers more than 30 (Since there were only 3 pairs of hands), while Jiunn Kai got punished for skipping my turn.
Well, that's all for that night. That day spent $31.50.
The next next day, Jiunn Kai, Russell and I came out again to meet Sasha and Si Hui...at Paragon. Ok, I foreseen something bad at that point of time when I heard of that location. Yup, and I was right. Jiunn Kai brought us Sushi Tei... And yes, I have never been there before, and I don't really have a choice...
As we were queuing, I someone caught my eyes. The first time I saw Shaun Chen from MediaCorp in person, but he was not with his wife, Michelle Chia, which I really wish to meet in person. Such a pity.
Anyway, I got in and Jiunn Kai started grabbing some plates to eat. The price of the Sushi there was really astonishing... There are so many different categories and the prices are really high. But the prices of the others such as Bentos and Ramens are just like any other Japanese Restaurants out there.
Jiuun Kai was talking about Natto Sushi which he thought tasted the worst thing he has ever eaten in his life. I never tried it before, but I really want to try no matter how bad he said it. It turned out not as bad as he described, but it did not taste good either. It is just like eating bitter coffee beans.
We then had some strolling around ION Orchard. Then we decided to rest at Starbucks which was bustling with people. And that was when I saw another ex-actor, not a famous one. But he acted as the Male Leading Actor in the extinct Channel I's sitcom, Ah Girl.
Ok, we found ourselves a seat, and I could only sit for a while before leaving to my Grandma's house. That was when I realised almost everyone had bought things to share. Si Hui did her usual small candy wrappings: Putting many sorts of candy in to a cute wrapping plastic paper. Russell bought each of us a cute stress ball figurines. Jiuun Kai bought a rather expensive Japanese Cheese Scallops to share while shopping earlier. And Sasha bought me a box of Royce Chocolate as a token of lending her my phone. For me, I used that box of chocolate to share... Haha.
That's another afternoon with $26 gone...
