Before that dinner on Thursday evening, Maine had informed me not to tell the other 2 that the Lost Symbol was actually a birthday gift and that ‘ I’d asked a friend of her’s to get it for me’ !
I asked, “Why?”
“Because I didn’t get them anything for their birthday!”
“Hold it! I didn’t get them anything also and I’ll be passing you your birthday gift later!” I replied, at the same time thinking why do we have to lie. And it’s not even a white lie we are pulling off!
“It’s different! They won’t suan you, but they will sure suan me!” She said.
“Okay then! Will you be late later?”
“I’m waiting for C.J to reach my workplace and after that I’ll be driving down!”
“Will you be late then?” I repeated. Why is she not answering my question?
“I be reaching at around 645!”
“Okay! You better not be late! Coz if you are late, then I’ll tell them that it’s a birthday gift!”
“Why you…”
“If you are late, you are dead!”
“Fine! Then you won’t be getting a birthday gift next year!”
… She did arrived late again.
And no! I didn’t Pau Toh her…
The initial plan was to have Steamboat @ Sunset Bay. However, Jonah pulled a Frank on us the last minute. Going for steamboat with only 3 person seems kind of dumb! Therefore, we decided to switch turf to Maine’s all time favorite, Old Town’s Cafe. She was having a crave for the Prawn Noodle. I’m really cool with anything as long as I’m not required to go ‘Red Wine’ =)
It’s kind of wasted that Jonah couldn’t make it. I was actually looking forward to meeting up with the 3 of them. You know? Sometimes you will just meet up because you feel obligated to! But with them, it’s more of like having great fun and it’s always so fun. Despite Jonah’s absence, we had a great time catching up.
When C.J excused himself to the Gents, I quickly asked Maine, “Hey you are more close to him! It’s strange that he’s not in a relationship yet! Did he say anything to you?”
“Yar! I know! I’d already asked him when you went to the Gents earlier on! He said no one at the moment?” She replied. Leave it to a bitch when it comes to searching, digging for that skeleton in the closet. I’m stunned at Maine’s efficiency. I mean, I didn’t recall spending for like more than 5 minutes in there. I just go in for a pee and No! I didn’t take a long moment in front of the mirror. Woah!
After dinner, we went to this KTV Pub which Maine’s referred as an Ah Chek’s place, to chill.
Tried Corona with a slice of lemon. Hmm not bad, but still if there’s a choice, I will go for LIT. Haha…
Halfway through, Maine had to excuse herself as she had to go ‘top up’ on the Car Coupons. Sadly, she was out of coupons and the nearest place where you can get it is at God Knows Where. Still, she had already been ‘battle trained’. The solution? Pay drivers who had just parked their car and get one from them. It’ll be wise to get 2, just in case!
