so... national day was fun!

went up to the 58th floor of UOB plaza to Dan's dad's office to watch fireworks
and eat burger king with dan's bro and mum, thanks to dan's dad
view was fab
we could see the entire spectacle,
including the huge lit-up man-made singapore flag at the padang
so cool!

then we went off exploring, being the 18 and not-quite-18 year olds we are
(me- i'm the only one not 18)
dan was eager to show her IC to anyone who cared to ask
just 'cause she can
haha

i was a little more pensive
few more months to go; i'm not quite there yet
although... can't think of why they'd worry
it's not like i'd even want to do anything i'm not supposed to
because i can't... like duh!

anyways, went out for some after dinner dining
sat on high stools at a high table, kinda isolated from everyone else
felt kinda cool
(although, there were kids running around...)
dan and steph, being 18, ordered the more popularly known 18 year old drinks
like singapore sling (patriotic!), SOTB (don't ask) and bloody mary
while i, being who i am, opted for safer stuff
(mocktails)
(which are called "virgin ___", for obvious reasons)
and a chocolate cake!

i was totally not expecting to find the virgin mary to taste all savoury and spicy!
such a surprise
i mean, i read about how people make their own and drink it
and watch them do it in tv shows and movies
so i thought, hmm, maybe the non-alcoholic one will taste nice...
wrong! utterly wrong!
tastes like salsa!
which wouldn't have been so bad if i'd had bread to dip into the drink
but it burns your throat like only tobasco can
who in the world likes drinking tobasco?!


the infernal marys, virgin and bloody both



dan had some of that infernal virgin mary
which i would think accounted for her vomiting all over
cos i nearly vomited a few times too

(and now, i think because of that +cake+virgin margarita,
i've lost my voice!)

surprisingly, steph looked and felt fine
even with that bloody mary
i guess me and dan are the younger ones (figuratively speaking)
haha

the weird army dude who served us was so freakin' irritating
always coming to our table necessarily
and talking too much
and asking to get our table when the other dude already got it
trying too hard
i have no idea if it's flirting [with... steph (; ]
but it was sure as hell irritating

but all in all, a fun night!
haha

who will be forever 17 =)
