Night out with my girls!

Posted by chervalier On April - 15 - 2010

I’m typing this from my iPod touch woots! So this post is a little overdue since the events i’m about to describe happened way long ago..

So about 2 weeks or so ago I met up with a bunch of my girlfriends whom I love dearly.. Mich, sy and edna! We were supposed to meet up on Good Friday evening for dinner and a nice night out of shopping, walking around and whatnot..

However, our dear miss mich said she might have to leave early as she was going clubbing.. Eventually, though, when we actually met up, she said she didn’t have to.

We did all get into the mood for a nice night out though, under michelle’s influence.. We made an effort to dress up rather nicely, though I couldn’t really do much since I had to meet them right after church..

Anyway, we met up and had a great dinner at fish&co where Michelle managed to convince us to go clubbing after.. (Notice how I am putting all the blame on her? Haha) so after some frenzied shopping for clothes for me, we made our way to Zouk!

We had quite a lotta fun, I must say.. In short, it was a night of booze, dancing, games ( I totally own “I have never”!) and lots of love and laughter.. Check out the pictures below to see how much fun we had!

I realized just how superficial I was when I thought a bit about my reaction to the following news story:

Briton hit US Marine, fined

A BRITON was fined the maximum $10,000 on Tuesday for grievously hurting a US Marine who had provoked him.

Jonathan Graham Thomson Irving, 24, pleaded guilty to an amended charge of punching Mr Clayton Sharrard, 21, on his face under grave and sudden provocation at Orchard Towers on July 4 last year. The victim suffered multiple fractures as a result.

The court heard that a dispute broke out between the two men near an ATM machine at Orchard Towers at about 1.15am that day. Irving started to laugh at Sharrard who warned him not to mess with him. Sharrard then became aggressive and started to use profanity.

Shortly after leaving the place, the victim swore at Irving from across the road. Irving continued to laugh at the victim who then crossed the road to confront Irving. Feeling provoked and fearful of being attacked, Irving punched the victim in the face. The victim lost his balance, fell down the stairs and hit the pavement.

Pleading for leniency, Defence counsel Christopher de Souza told District Judge Lee Poh Choo that his client lost his job as a mechanical systems designer for oil rigs as a result of the incident.

Irving could have been jailed for up to six years for the offence.

because he’s cute…

a pre-prepared post!! woots. though it seems as if no one’s responding eh. hm.
.
well now, this will be one of those “shorter” entries but still generally philosophical heh.

.

To help you non-Singaporeans understand some of the context here, let me explain some laws we have in Singapore. In recent years, the government has moved to ban smoking in most public areas, most notably eating areas, bus stops, clubs and pubs, among others.

.

I was really pleased at this development because i’m one of those obnoxious people that cannot stand cigarette smoke. If anyone within a ten metre radius of me lights up, I sniff the air like a blood hound and make annoyed faces and noises. Yea. So when the rule became more widespread, I started becoming very open about being disapproving of people who’d smoke at bus stops or other prohibited areas. I’d pretend to snap pictures of them on my phone camera (yes, Brenda, to pretend to send to Stomp! lol) and stare them down.

.

go ahead, blow yourself out

go ahead, blow yourself out

About a week or two ago, I was at the bus stop near my house waiting for a bus. I was vaguely aware of someone sitting behind me after awhile, but didn’t pay attention until I smelt cigarette smoke. Annoyed, I turned to see who the culprit was. Apart from an innocent looking young(ish) guy sitting behind me, I didn’t see anyone else. I put it down to someone in a nearby house smoking out their window or something. I grew progressively more annoyed as time passed but couldn’t find anyone to blame it on!

.

The bus soon arrived and I stood up and moved to the front of the bus stop. Then, I managed to take a good look at the guy who was seated behind me and lo and behold, he was holding a fag in his hand, enjoying the last of his smoke before getting onto the bus.

.

At this point I had some major conflicting emotions. I was really pissed off at him for smoking at a bus stop (he was INSIDE the bus stop, sitting down!! as opposed to standing a few metres away!) but at the same time, I didn’t really feel too angry towards him..

.

Why? Well look at the title of this post. Haha. He was… kinda cute, I guess. And it definitely made me less angry at him.  I was a lot more willing to let it go and not fuss too much about it… Until I realized how superficial I was being. Typically the offenders that get on my nerves are ugly, wrinkled old men at a different bus stop (that sees a totally different demographic of commuters altogether) and that, compounded with the smoke, just drives me nuts.

.

How about you guys? Do you tend to go easy on attractive people? It’s natural, isn’t it? I’m sure i’m not the only one. I remember when I was in college we once read about a research project that looked at the relationship between a person’s attractiveness and the kind of punishment they are dealt when caught/tried. Mostly, attractive people were punished more lightly than not-so-attractive people unless they were deemed to have used their attractiveness to their advantage when committing the act.

.

Cool, huh? =) Ok so let’s all try to stop judging books by their covers.. That’s the moral of the story today. Till the next time, CIAOOOO <3
