Weekend Chillin'

Being all in one body means that regardless of how many activities we would like to be part of, we have to choose which one to attend (and we shall bitch bitterly on this later). And we do try to make time for all our activities, and at the end of the day we need a bit of cave time for ourself before we call it a night. Thus most days we end up bedding down late.

So come the weekends we take a bit of time-out to recharge our batteries. And given that it's been a lovely long weekend (that always go by so quickly!) how do we chill?

Take Sunday.

1. Sleep till 6pm.
Well we can't say that sleep was uninterrupted. It was considered good, deep sleep as we didn't hear a couple of messages beeping on our phone but we did get a call at 1pm asking us out to lunch. Once we hung up we were back in slumberland. Then the Chief called for dinner before rehearsal, and we were rather thankful for that, as we may well just have slept till it was time for rehearsal and miss out on both lunch and dinner.

2. Pan mee dinner.
The thing about missing out on meals earlier in the day (irregardless of the fact that we've been sleeping and thus, not exerting energy) is that, once we're hungry, we tend to see most food on a menu as appetizing and thus we may overorder. Even with the Chief around, this isn't necessarily good as the Chief would like to see us eat more.

Not that we're trying to watch our waistline or anything but we would like our body to maintain proper proportions and avoid looking pregnant.

But sharing between us a Pork Creations Pan Mee, Sarawak Mee In Black Soy & Chilli Sauce, Fried Fu Chok & Curry Dip, Fried Dumplings, ABC and chrysanthemum tea? Can lah.

3. Foot reflexology.
After rehearsal (day three of screaming Movement 6, go listen to 'The Fields Of Pelennor' on the Return Of The King soundtrack to know which one we're talking about) the Chief and us headed down to lad to see if the guys had anything going on for the night.

The Fields Of Pelennor - 'The Nazgul'

Poor lad had to work the entire long weekend but that didn't stop him from making time at night to hang out, so it was a rather spontaneous decision that ended up with the four of us (lad, 'Vin, Chief and us) at our nearby massage parlour for some foot-lovin' reflexology.

Initial positions was with lad hugging the pillow instead of using it as a backrest as intended, 'Vin reading a magazine, us reading blogs and the Chief on the DS playing Metal Slug 7 (which surprisingly we find no multiplayer option). After a while, though, everyone ended up eyes closed, slumped into seat, and enjoying the feet grind.

4. Music, popcorn and cards.
Ended the night by heading to 7-Eleven to get some booze before heading back to lad to wait for Esteban to show up. And to while the time, lad popped out some microwaveable popcorn and cards for chor dai di. No money involved, but sadly no alcohol involved too (hmm, single shot for losing, double shot if holding 10 - 12 cards, triple shot for full hand...but then again we'd no hard liquour).

We agree with lad that the butter flavoured microwaveable popcorn tastes good. But it tasted so much better when we actually heated up a bit of lad's salted butter to dip the popcorn in!

When Esteban finally arrived he entertained us with songs from Guitar Hero...if you would consider that everytime he made a mistake, he would restart the song (over and over again) 'entertainment'. But then he needs to practise playing Guitar Hero on Hard, and we'd already four people for chor dai di.

Come to think of it, we should have done this on Monday night in preparation for Tuesday.
