Argh. My previous post got wiped out. This is inhumane, making me type out something that I can hardly remember anymore. After all, golden words can never be repeated
In any case, there were 3 points to address.
1. IMVU Singaporean's 1st gathering was a HUGE success!
1st stop - The Clinic
Wonderfully morbid with its wheelchairs, metal tables and IV drips with mohitos or whatever they put in it. Bet they don't serve THAT at the local hospitals!
We all met there, everyone was nice, and we talked about goat testicle soups, hot angmohs walking by and how ravebro can actively park his car for a solid half hour XD
2nd stop - Satay King
Wonderful satay and local dishes at ridiculous prices. But the restaurant was very nice and the food was good. Good conversation, good company, lovely lovely. Jedifish and Suilin's cousin had to leave early though, that was sad. Poor Ravebro was stuck with us 5 girls with no male support and companionship for the next stop :P
3rd Stop - 1NiteStand
Small comedy club, but there was no comedy act on that day. A band called Six in the City was playing and the club DJ was pretty good too. Lots of 80s type music and RnB. We attracted lots of attention, what with the enthusiastic dancing, starting a crazy congo line that went around the entire premises as well as trailed out of the club, and wild swinging limbs XD
We made plenty of friends too, like the lady who hugged and thanked me for sitting in their place (or rather, dancing near their place and putting our bags there) while she went to dance with her boyfriend. She hugged me again before I left and told me she'll be there again on this friday. What a character! XD
There was also a curious angmoh, who accidentally put his his pool stick up my skirt ( and that's NOT an euphemism!) while aiming for a shot, and whenever he came back to our side of the pool table, he went " I'm back! Again..." with a little eyebrow dance.
And there was another angmoh fellow with his chinese/taiwanese(?) friend who dragged me and cookiechop out to dance in the middle of the dance floor, and after one song, we dragged out CheesyT, SuiLin27 as well as RedizAlertz as well, and had a wild dance marathon. The new recruits to me and cookiechop's clubbing expedition were astonished by our sheer stamina and ability to dance for hours like madwomen without pause. Mission: scare the hell out of new friends. Outcome: accomplished. XD
And when we finally left early at about 1, a few guys on the dance floor were calling us back XD "Where are you going? Come back!" haha. Blew them a kiss and left with loud farewells. Its interesting, the kind of people you meet at clubs. Weidos, horny people, drunk people, people proposing marriage to you out of the blue and once in a while, nice people who dance and have fun with you and then its sayonara :) Guess we made some newer new friends after all, together with the crazy imvu people we met and bonded with.
And guess what! We're having another gathering this wednesday (AKA today for me) because its Ladies Night, and those usually rock XD
Hopefully some of the girls can make it, or me and cookiechop will go anyway.
Since we're on the topic of clubbing, might as well talk about some of the weirdos I've met.
Courtesy of the Black Magnet (aka cookiechop) black men who would never usually approach me (on accounts of the intimidating countenance of yours truly) approach me, and all such encounters end bizarrely. Why can't I meet nice black men, intellectual ones, etc? I always see them on television and movies. Those type don't seem to be attracted to Singapore at all. Anyway, last wednesday, this black guy at The Arena started to try to creepily dance with me, and I remember trying to dodge and twirl away from his reach, as well as using cookiechop as a shield. She's wonderful, always shielding me from pervs XD
And soon after, we went to The Attica, where another two wanted to dance with us, and of course, since cookiechop was occupied, I had to extricate myself from the one trying moves on me, and then save cookiechop on account of us wanting to go to the ladies. Artful dodgers, we are. We can even do that perfect British accent, though I'm sure the Brits won't agree. And we went back to the Arena (because it has better music) and at the end of the night, about 4am, it was attack of yet another black guy! This (in a business suit and looking respectable!)one ended up propositioning me.
"That is my friend's wife, she has two baby boys, would you like the same?"
I must admit, I was just so dumbfounded at such a ridiculous question. I gave him my typical you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me look, raised eyebrow and all, and he keeps asking me the same question. I say no firmly, and he says why not. I mean seriously, why on earth would I? XD
And when I tried to leave, he asked for my number, I said I don't have a phone, and he takes out a PDA phone and another quite expensive phone, and asks me "which one do you want?". He was lucky that cookiechop decided to drag me at that exact moment, or I would have just laughed my ass off in front of him. As it was, I was giggling madly as we walked and took a taxi. So far, of the 6 people I've told this to, all of them thought I should have taken the phone. But I'm just too nice. I would have probably just bruised his ego (by laughing like a maniac) and let him keep his phone XD
And that reminds me of the black guy I met in The Pump Room a few months ago. He came up to me while I was swaying near the doorway, waiting for cookiechop to get us a drink. Here's a shortened transcript.
Usher dude: You have very nice calves.
Kas: Thanks *puzzled smile*
U: I like your sandals, where did you buy them?
K: Erm... Leather Atrium. It's at Bishan Junction.
U: Oh, Bishan Junction, wow. I want to buy those sandals for my sister, because I don't have a wife or girlfriend, I just have a mother and sister. So I'm going to buy my sister these sandals. Where did you buy them?
K:Bishan Junction.
U: Oh right, of course. I think my sister would love these sandals. Its too bad I don't have a girlfriend. The sandals are nice.
K: Riiiight. Thanks. *wtf expression*
U: I think I might get lost on the way though. Can I have your number so I can ask you if I get lost?
K:*enlightened expression* Sorry, I have a boyfriend.
U: Of course! I wish you and your boyfriend all the happiness in the world. Both of you are wonderful together. I hope you're really happy. Wow, a boyfriend. You two must be really good together. Are you happy with your boyfriend?
K: I am. *get lost expression*
U: Of course, of course, you have a boyfriend and.....
And this continued until I got sick of him, and artfully dodged him. I disappeared into a sea of tall angmohs [they are so useful for this ;)].
And guess what, a week later, I see cookiechop talking to this black guy and I go to investigate. He is sitting with another few black guys, and one of them (whom I didn't recognise) turns to me and says "You have a boyfriend". Oh wow, thank you for reminding me that I'm supposed to have a non-existant boyfriend around weirdos like you. You are very kind. And everytime he sees me (even though I can never seem to recognise him) he will announce to me that I have a boyfriend and I will know exactly who he is.
And there have been a few weird angmohs as well, but I will save those for later. I realise I have talked alot here haha. Guess the post being wiped out was good, because a lot more gets blogged :P
anyway!

4 more books have been added to my reading pile (and I discovered I can't count, the original pile is 13, not 12 :P)
14 - Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Well, I won't have to go to the library to borrow books I bet :P
Oh, and I just realised I can't remember what my 3rd point was. Oh well. At least we all know it existed, at one point. I shall refrain from saying "point" again :P
And that is my monologue for today. I rarely get the urge to type so much anyway, so treasure this involved spiel XD
And shoutout to my crumbleycake in Norway! XD And my cookiechop who has to go to work in a few hours after yakking with us on webcam :P
