spending the night

date night
I don't know why I suddenly thought of this, but I think my relationship reached the comfortable stage very quickly (it's him not me). while we were vacationing in HK, we were suppose to go for date night. instead of reservations for a restaurant, we decided to "be spontaneous". we wound up in soho and each of us had a restaurant preference. we ended up at the restaurant of his choice. so date night comprised of guacamole and wings at !i caramba! i'm pretty sure if american football was playing on the flat screen, it would have sealed the deal.

girls night
went out with the girls (rather, the ladies) from my secondary school class. they are all grown up now, but i'm pleased to report that they still know how to have fun. we started the night at yellow jello. i thought it would end up being a night to drown sorrows in alcohol because one of my friends just found out something rather life changing. mmm but somehow we ended up going to karaoke, which i never do. thankfully, they don't know too many chinese songs themselves. so our repetoire comprised of all english songs. but 5 girls and 3 hours of english songs at a chinese karaoke bar... yeah... started off strong, depeche mode, abba, lady gaga, expose (who doesn't like i'll never get over you getting over me, only the longest song title ever). made a rather shaky transition to rap (black eyed peas, JT, timbaland). it really started going downhill from the sound of music and phantom of the opera. i don't know how we ended up with three blind mice and deck the halls. seriously, who knew deck the halls had like 10 verses. ok, maybe like 5 or 6. but on repeat?? and no, there was no alcohol involved at the karaoke place. and now i think about it, we were actually grooving to three blind mice. this is true.

work night
work's been insane but this was the first weekend in a long time i didn't think about work (much). i didn't even have to work! this is our last lap though. very exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time. last w/e felt particularly brutal. really late nights, really early mornings, long long days... but it's over for now. spent this w/e recovering. mm. sleep is so good.

birthday night
happening next friday. turning 28. and no, i have no plans yet. my parents are abandoning me for some chick's wedding. that's about all i know. poor me.
