What a lovely day today was! I got to go out with the Choir Comm 07-08 as well as my own IP friends!

First the choir people were supposed to meet at 11:30 at Dhoby Ghaut, and I'm ashamed to say that I was late while LC, Gnia and WY were on time, and XM, JA and YJ were waiting at the wrong entrance I think!

We actually walked to the Cathay and debated over Nihon Mura and Aston's before deciding to go back to Cine to eat the Suki Sushi buffet because we were hungry and didn't want to wait until 2:30 for the other one.

Unfortunately they only had one table seating 6 available, so XM, LC, Gnia and I went to eat first, feeling guilty that the other 4 were still standing there for so long waiting for a table!

Eating with the other 3 was super fun, I felt like I was going high from all the laughter, stemming from LC and XM insulting each other, scheming of ways to hide leftover rice so as not to be charged with wastage, and Gnia's and XM's antics over the sushi train!

XM: Wait, let's keep the plates to keep count of how much we've eaten. (to make sure it's worth the money)
LC: Why not keep the (plastic) covers instead, it's easier.
Waiter comes to remove plates.
Waiter: Shall I remove the covers?
XM: Oh, no, we want to keep track of what we're eating.

XM: Oh, what's that?
Gnia: Mango pudding.
XM takes the mango pudding and takes one bite.
XM: I don't want any more. Where's my chawanmushi?

*facepalm* MAJOR FAIL, XM.

LC: What's that?
Gnia: (takes the plate) I think it's duck.
SX: DUCK SUSHI?
LC: It looks like...something that begins with a C and ends with an R.
*stare at LC*
LC: And has a D in the middle.
SX: OH, I know......wait, maybe I don't know, what is it?
LC: Something like a corpse (i.e. "cadaver").

YUCK, LC!

XM: Eee, the carrot is uncooked!
LC: No it's not!
XM: Yes it is!
LC: No, you just got to let it boil a bit more! Why are you so stubborn?
Later...
SX: (pokes carrot) It's STILL hard!
XM to LC: YOU SEE? It's uncooked! Why are YOU so stubborn?

Then there was a part where Gnia and I were laughing like mad, but I can't remember what about. Yun Tian joined us about halfway through and didn't eat anything, but had to leave early.

Wanyun's table finished first, and they were urging us to finish, I thought they wanted to go to school to see the choir's caroling practice with the conductor, but in the end we didn't.

Anyway, they gave me this farewell gift (even though I only made it seem to be my last outing to guilt trip them to come) which was a personalised 2010 calendar with all their pictures on it (because there's 12 of them excluding me, BRILLIANT) and I think YJ put in a lot of effort making it, so I'm SO THANKFUL FOR IT!! *cries happy tears*

After walking with WY, Sheena, YJ and XM to Dhoby Ghaut again, I took the train up to AMK to meet XW!

We stoned at the Macs while waiting for the others and I was telling her about the Mu Lan movie I already saw. Then Sheryl came in with all her presents and stuff (thanks!), followed shortly by KX and Eliz, and then we went back to AMK Hub to decide on Pepper Lunch for dinner. Maybe we should call it Pepper Dinner.

RO met us after they'd all ordered except me, because I was a bit full and didn't really feel like eating PL. RO gave us our Christmas cards, and Sheryl gave us our presents, including a large toy hedgehog for RO the birthday girl!

I wanted to go to BBQ Express because I remembered liking the chicken wings, but unfortunately they were sold out! So Sheryl and I got takoyaki, and we wandered around in NTUC for a while, spending the most time debating on which sushi pack to buy!

There was much phototaking with Sheryl's pro camera and angles of trying to get XW to look pregnant in her billowing dress! I'm glad we got to take photos together, it's been ages!

Today was tiring, but utterly fun. I love meeting my friends, and the time we've not been together just makes the meeting more special. Maybe I was wrong about "out of sight, out of mind", as I quoted to YJ earlier today.
