decided to go with my parents to a family friend's 50th birthday.

quite glad i went i guess. food was awesome. we were housed in the function rm at the 44th flr of The Sail at marina bay, which was kinda cool, overlooking the city and all, and we caught the fireworks from the NE show at Padang today. front seat view haha.

thankgoodness i convinced my dad that casual/smart casual didnt mean shirt shorts and slippers. lets just say the birthday dude's daughter went all out on this: waiter's serving wine and punch, followed by a fine selection of fantastically tasty cheese.

arranged a gathering with the group of children ( now very much young adults ) this wed. yea, we all basically went on tour almost every year together since i was 9years old. as Sherm said after 2months of mindwashing bmt : you're the Conducting Officer for the gathering!!! *laughs spastically*

hahah truetrue. the mindwashing bit that makes you think everything in army context.

that saying, feeling kinda stoned after tanking for my dad drinking with the (more-adult) adults. my bro's driving and my dad's speaking a tad louder + red in face so yeah.

i think i'm just gonna get an early night today.

PS: red and white wine shouldnt be drank in succession one after another; they don't go well together, says the queasy stomach.
