yesterday's Events. *beams*

went out with bern and matt which could have resulted dismally like um, the last but it didnt! we had a fantastic time really and a total of 6 times, we went "gawd, i wish the rest were here!".
but yeah well, we all plead clashing scedules and examinations *shrugs and sighs*

we went to Far East's Starbucks where bern had a scone [before i found out what it was last time, i always had thought it would be conical] and i savoured a yumfull oreo cheesecake. and loads of laughter on the side.

next stop: the SAM [ie. singapore art museum]
for some reason, bern had the 'brilliant' idea of walking there which is a whole 2km away and for some reason, satiated on my mocha frapp and caffeinated, i agreed. it was hot and humid after the drizzle and the stage was set for a miserable walk but oh no, we were saved by helium balloons!
wish i could say for the sake of sensationalizing this entry that the three of us grabbed a whole bunch of 'em and floated off much to the alarm of SAF's radar people but no, we did not.
what we DID do was um, suck the helium! its the main reason why i like the balloons so much, mwaha. voice minnie mouse-ified, i started reading out ads and singing stupid songs LOUDLY much to the amusement and wonderment of people around us. much delighted, bern grabbed a balloon from the next person we saw; it co-ordinated perfectly with her pinafore lol.
it also became a public safety hazard because it kept hitting others. merf. we tried to hit matthew with it [bop! bop!] but most of the time, sorely failed as it ended up hitting both our faces *sighs* time and time again.
so we walked and walked then heard a ballon burst - it was this kid's yellow non-helium balloon [hah!] so we decided hey, let's give ours to the lil kiddie.

oh the ingrateful child. he ran away in fright and horror. tsk tsk, the audacity of the young generation! lol

we stomped around in the pebble gravel outside the Istana cuz i was just kicking it around at first wondering why they bothered with it - i mean, what's wrong with good ol' grass? high maintanence i suppose.
but then we found out that in some areas, the gravel was pleasantly deep enough for our feet to sink into it which feels very strange and fun at the same time. so there you go, three teens tottering around the gravel, laughing seemingly at nothing at all. *smiles wistfully*

by now, bern was bored with her balloon so i promptly asked, can i suck it then? ooh er, dodgy! lol
i taught bern and matt [he's completely USELESS, man. inhale not gulp, you doofus. snerk!] how to and we took turns reading the university and disney advertisments we were walking past *beams*

so, finally reaching the museum.
it was funnnnn. i mean, original Picasso and Warhol! augh augh! and lots of fascinating installations to wow at and dodgy ones that left us tickeled and amused. bern was our official Guide with her aep knowledge cuz you know me, i just appreciate the pieces for their aesthetic value, mwaha. i dont have the art history knowledge to back up and support any further inferences *ponders* maybe i should take aep. it sounds like fun; masochistic fun but um..enriching nonetheless.

oh oh there was this display of of dismantled teddy bear parts in a huge clear plastic box that ywith arm holes so you can play around with it. matthew held up a leg that was brown and furry and *cough cough* of a certain shape LOL.
and there was this 13m long painting that was soo full of emotion even though it was simply a dismal cityscape.

and another installation piece of hand-sewn stuffed butterflies in the curved wall of one of the galleries. so pretty~

ooh ooh, one of the corridors had a bunch of Ikea's kiddie furniture ther for the kids to play with and i have this particular fascination i suppose with one of them. loved it the moment i saw it, parents refused to get it. *sighs*
you know those metallic egg chairs in the movie MIB? its like a smaller version and orange with a hood thing you can pull down so you end up in an orange egg that can spin!
hello, how can i NOT love the thing??
so predictably i rushed to it, and started spinning slowly when the both if them started spinning me so faaaast my guts were churning - i hope nobody heard my manic laughter though i think its a high possibility cuz it was so quite and empty. when i finally clambered out of it, i was so dizzy that i stumbled [still laughing] and collapsed face-down on the carpeted floor and couldnt get up for a good full 10 seconds, MWAHA. i love that woozy feeling you get.

and bern was sorta singing [sorta cuz she ddn noe all the lyrics lol] and it sounded almost ethereal because of the echoes that reverbrated through the high ceilings. *smiling wistfully again* i felt so serenely happy among the artpieces in that place of beautiful architecture and with good friends

*sniffs* i need more days like this.

then we went to the kopitiam and had sugar-loaded deserts and YAY, intelligent conversation!
fun fun fun fun~ go on, revel in my eloquence.







it would really have been so much funner with the full madCAP crowd *sighs*
