Christmas 2005
Okay the last post was written too dramatically. Must have reality check and manage expectations of others, like those of my dear friend.
The non-religious Mr Dimples started off by saying he and his good friend (whom I do not know) were considering watching a church musical and asked whether I had anything on eve, and if I wanted to join them. Dinner will be herbal chicken and/or turtle soup at Geylang.
As we all know, I said yes eventually. Yes, even when I had no-no-ed Ruth and Elaine to attend their church performances.
My reasons: I believe Ruth and Elaine will have no time for me, and I wasn’t prepared to sit through everything, referring to worship and prayers. Plus, we had a car. And I’m sure we could leave immediately once the musical ended.
The musical wasn’t bad at all, just too draggy and needed heavy editing (that was I smsed you impetuously to say I’m having a dreadful time). The choir and music were really decent.
And then we (3 guys and a girl, ‘cos another had decided to join us) left.
Then we nua-ed at this tong shui place just opposite Great World City (couldn’t direct them to the Teochew mui place and called to ask but eventually dropped the idea).
Talked, talked, eat, eat, laughed, laughed and countdown.
Mr Dimples was very kind to insist driving through Orchard on the return journey so that we can soak in the lights and be Christmassy, never mind the scary population spilling across streets and towards oncoming traffic. Somehow we managed to drive out soon enough, but not without marveling why a large portion of the crowds is merely standing there and not going anywhere. Are they stoned, stoning.
That’s all. Not terribly exciting from Meihui’s POV, I’m sure. But I had fun.
Merry Christmas. I hope you are with someone dear, sweet and loving.
