Boys night out...
Remember the dinner; potluck, i was to have at a friend's place? Well, it was last night in the heartlands of an estate in the central eastern part of Singapore. The evening passed slowly with me and alfie waiting for friends to arrive. He picked me up at Queensway where i was earlier in the day with parents. We studied the map before coming out with the best route to the abovementioned heartlandish estate. When one of my buddies called, we told him to carry on without us as we thought we would not be able to meet the timing, alas, we reached the place earlier then expected. All were supposed to meet at an MRT station control. But when we got there, only K and M were there, some others were still not there yet. We waited and soon all those who were supposed to arrive came. We made our way to the central to get more food stuff, even though some have actually came prepared with home-cooked food. Alfie prepared mashed potatoe with diced turkey, which i was to realise later on that it tasted great; in fact it was one of the more popular dishes. K came prepared with home-cooked tempura. It was good too!
Everyone, met downstairs at e void-deck before making our way up to S place. It was really cosy at his place. Walls in the living area were painted an orange hue, and he up the ante on the cosiness factor by placing candles at strategic locales in the house. Everyone got busy the moment we set foot into the house. Some helped the host with the preparation of the food while others formed little cliques of their own and started chatting away. When preparation was done, no one took the initiative to proceed with the food, till the kind host started the ball rolling by passing out the plates and utensils asking people to eat. Well, K was the first one in followed by me and alfie, soon all others made their way to the 'potluck' table.
In between, we were served ice cubes with either a reddish or orangy hue to it. I learnt that the cubes are actually squares of frozen fruit punch and vodka. How creative! Well, the cubes were nice and very much a thirst quencher. I am so inspired. In fact, some others were also inspired to repeat the popularity of the 'vodka cubes', I call it. Well, we might do just that for the up-coming Christmas party by the beach. wink*
After dinner, we had a screening of 'Formular 17'. The movie is a Taiwanese production. A really cute movie with lots of eye candy! It maked everyone in the room feel 17 once again...well, those were the days when people fall so easily in love; puppy love or crushes as we know of it to be. But sometimes things get out of hand and you get more than what you bargained for only to end up in unhappiness. Well, the movie had us all in stitches and i believe some of them were so adoring that cutie on the google box. Nice movie with quite a predictable plot and lots of comedic twists. Its a feel good movie and something i can so relate to....but that was when i was all 17; a couple of years back! *wink* I particularly enjoyed the theme song...but ain't no idea who sang it.
Well, all good things must come to an end...the revelry ended with us going to a bohemia in the east...somewhat less commercialised than holland v for coffee. Chatted and laughed and of course plan for the Christmas party till it was time for Coffee bean to close.
The night ended... happy dreams and sweet memories...
