A Weekend

Things must be getting busy; the long weekend just flashed by, I don't know what I did.

Visited Justyna at the Marine Tce house; made a mess while I was trying to help her bake a cake for Sam's birthday party later that evening. Hung around until 5 then went to work and came back after 10pm to the party.

I don't think I even showered when I got home and just went to bed past 1 in the morning. Had to wake up quite early on Sat to go to Scalamance Market to get over-ripe bananas to make chocolate banana cake for PY's birthday party.

There's this er-hu busker at Salamanca Market. He's been there for maybe two months now and I always stopped for a few minutes every time I pass by. The music is really haunting and I always thought that my mother would like it. Since now I have an income, I bought the fill set to send home for Mothers Day. I must say it's a disappointment. The CDs don't sound quite as good as in real life. Maybe it's my speakers but the er-hu on the CD sound...synthesised.

The chocolate banana cake turned out OK. Not fantastic but OK. Well, no one complained. But I didn't really enjoy PY's party since I didn't know the majority of her friends and weren't too familiar to those few that I did know. Penang asked me over to his apartment and I ended up going with him to Isobar and for pizza (again) until 4 in the morning.

Pei organised this last minute potluck on Sunday and she asked me over only after I came back from my run. I brought the chicken/sweet potato/carrot/cabbage porridge I had cooked (and intended for dinner and lunch the following day) and leftover ice-cream from PY's party.

Kee Hong had his friends over for dinner on Monday night. I had cooked chicken marinated in english mustard and honey so that went on the table too, even though it was meant only for 3 persons.

The day after tomorrow, I'm going to work again. Damn, that's fast.
