I Love New York

If you can't stand the heat
Then get off my street

Actually we don't love New York, because we've never been there before. We've only remembered Los Angeles, Chicago and Iowa (heck this was when we were 13 years old and what mattered most were toy stores, Disneyland, Universal Studios and Hollywood). Trust us to decide to go on the Confessions On A Dance Floor Project without paying attention to some of the track names in the first place (and there's another track title up ahead we have no idea how to tie in to whatever we shall post...).

Anways, the weekend was packed with another two birthday meals - Saturday with ex-coursemates at Tony Romas, and Sunday with the usual gang at this hidden place called Checkers.

Now if there's one thing we now need to learn, is our limits. Given that there were 6 people for lunch at Tony Romas, 5 dishes sounds just about right, doesn't it? Then again, that 4 of them are girls who aren't heavy into meat dishes were something we didn't really factor in when ordering - thus leading to lunch then being a rather heavy affair. Not to mention we missed BodyJam as well, which was a good thing - we probably would have died an embarassing death in class after such a meal.

How full were we all? Full enough that even the sight of four cupcakes seemed something difficult to finish (and honestly, with this particular group of friends for every subsequent birthday gatherings the birthday cake have been getting smaller and smaller). And in the end, only three-quarters of each cupcake were finished...

Then there was Sunday at this hidden shop called Checkers - with many porky porky dishes. We had the roast pork knuckle, Lemon (the Demon) and otousan had the LOTR (crazy lots of ribs that could be shared by three people) and the rest went for an assortment of pork chops or pork and sausages.

Now, it's not that we have a small appetite or that we can't eat a lot, but when we end up overindulging it's more than just a simple matter of loosening the belt or rubbing the stomach. We start burning up as the body metabolizes. And given how hot the weather can get, it's not really fun to start burning up.

Thankfully those 'hot flashes' doesn't last long.

Oh, and the guys gave us a wireless modem router for our birthday!

"Buying presents for a girl-, no, buying presents for anyone else is much easier than buying presents for you, Janvier!" scolds lad. Guilty, we admit.

So anyways most of today was spent fixing it up and trying to understand how to get it working. Fixing it up was no problem. There was that doubtful moment where we wonder if we were plugging the cable into a network card or TCP/IP card or goodness knows what. And there's the numerous attempts at getting it to connect with no success. Panas sahaja kita.

We finally gave up and decided to go shopping before Jam and YKLS.
