Unleashed On The City
I was unaware that sitting inside the house for an entire week could drive you insane. And I'm not just talking about not going out with friends either. I'm talking about not setting foot outside at all. Add the insanity to the fact that whatever work ethics I had was all but dissipated (insanity and 4u maths don't mix) and I had a damn good excuse to make a visit to the city.
The city isn't much fun without good company so out the invites went. All eight of them. Unfortunately, only four people (including myself) could be bothered turning up: Grace, Ansel, Lawrence and your's truly.
We arrived at the city before 10 which was apparently too damn early for everyone even though nobody bothered complaining BEFORE the day. After a good twenty minutes debating over what movie to watch, we decided on 'Mr and Mrs Smith'. Movie started at 1:20 which gave us quite a bit of time to kill. Galaxy World for a few games of pool and then off to the highlight of the day: yum-cha!
Yum-cha in itself is hardly a thrilling experience. What made it interesting was Grace and myself talking/bribing Ansel into trying out some new foods. It did take some persuasion to get him to try some of the stranger stuff (e.g. chicken feet) but he did have a bit of everything and I do believe he is indeed still alive. Lost count of how many pots of tea we ended up drinking, but I assure you, it was a considerable amount.
Post lunch, we had a quick walk around Market City before heading back to the cinema. 'Mr and Mrs Smith' is hardly what you'd call a brilliant film but nothing could be much more entertaining (without having to think) than gun fights and some questionable humour. That movie will work wonders on the divorce rate. Instead of filing lawsuits upon getting totally sick of each other, married couples can now grab some guns, blow their house to pieces and then make up. And everybody says that violence doesn't solve anything...
Post-movie involved a visit to Kinokuniya (my favourite shop) just for the hell of it. Let's face it, everything in that shop is overpriced. Having said that, we did end up buying something; a pack of coloured staples for one dollar.
In conclusion, four hapless fools in the city makes for a surprisingly fun day!
p.s. Damn anybody invitees who didn't turn up.

I wasn't an inviteeeeeee! ='((( Hahaha, I'd come! Even though I've seen Mr and Mrs Smith before .__.' GOOD MOVIE YEAH?! Hahaha, well I liked it~ xD "Ask that sex question again"... "Ten ;D" HAHAHA, funny.
But anyway, sounds like you had a good day out nonetheless :D Sometimes I reckon the less the merrier o_O; Or is that just me? Hahaha, I've realised, whenever I go out somewhere, I usually just go with one other person. Oh well, FOUR DAYS LEFT, not including today. Study your ass off my friend.

I would have invited you but I don't have your email, MSN or phone number. Sumimasen. (My jap's gone to hell over the last month or two).
HSC = Huge Social Collapse

I'd hate own kinokuniya. Too many cheap asians who read all the stuff and never buy anything. No wonder the prices are so damn high.
