Q: how do you know when christmas is officially over?i think boxing day (26th dec) was more fun than christmas day. the girls and i agreed that most people only look forward to the happier seasons when they have someone special to spend it with. so since i don't and didn't have someone special to spend it with, i can conclude that i was really not looking forward to this absurd season of love and mass consumerism.
however, i will give my thanks to those who spent however many little minutes with me over the holiday festivities - shaun, bong, karyn, charlie m., sherie (ms. polly pocket), des, xing, carol, chris, sean, eldon, maddie, ken, andre, chai, candice, song, glenn, jon, and others whom i'm sorry i can't recall at this moment in time.
oh! how could i possibly forget to thank the crowd who packed orchard-damned-road on christmas eve!!! --- you make me want to throw each and everyone of you out the window of the top floor of a 50-storey building. i believe i must've screamed (
and desired and wished it weren't really) 'fucking hell' a trillion times as people attempted to shove their way through the non-moving hoard of sticky/ hot/ bothered/ meaty people.
if you weren't at orchard-damned-road on christmas eve, you were one smart cookie. but you could've at least warned me. i never do the sardines in the tuna can. anyway, if you can't picture what orchard-damned-road looked like, i'm sorry i couldn't get a picture --- i couldn't get my arm out of the mangle somewhere in the back of the madness. but i'm sure if you googled for other blogs, someone would've put up a picture of the disaster.
however, i can help you put a mental picture together. if during the past 2 weeks, you have been to phuture or zouk on a wednesday, you would have a slight idea. take that jam-packed crowd, multiply it by 7,392,102 and voila! welcome to the stretch from wheelock place to past takashimaya. yes, it was that bad.
i'm still working on my thanks here. :)
i would like to thank ian kane for calling me at the time i wanted to murder this grandma and her 40-year-old daughter. thank you ian for saving me from attempting first degree murder. i'm sure the grandma and her daughter thank you profusely too. besides, with the 8,591 witnesses standing next to me along orchard road, it definitely wouldn't have bode me well if i WAS charged in the Singapore Judicial Courts --- you know how they're like with the murder cases in singapore. by the time they come up with a ruling, i would be 70 and still on bail.
p/s: ian, of course i appreciate your very important call to ask me whether you should sit with your date's parents at church. it is a very big decision to make; i'm glad i was part of the panel to help you make your choice. really.
A: when shops start putting up their big SALE signs - trying to clear their christmas stocks.
