blessed weekends - me glad

last week, i suddenly receive a call from a Malaysian handphone, the voice on the other side immediately sounded familiar, but my mind couldn't find the name, suddenly it clicked - Lawrence. He was coming down to see a uni friend from HK but wanted to see if I'm free. Well, coincidentally, that weekend, I had nothing planned, zilch. So it was great that he called and I could show him around town.

On Friday, I went over to Royal Peacock to meet up with him and decided to take him to Chinatown food court. Surprisingly, the food there is rather good. Recommeded him the bak cho mee, and also ordered a plate of Hokkien prawn mee which is as good as the one at Vivo foodcourt. Right after that, took him down to New Majestic bar and there we caught up with what's happening with each other. Comparing notes on him working in London and me, in Singapore. I was rather surprised that he managed to earn back his entire masters course fee and expenses within a year. Come to think of it, it's possible as he would be earning about GBP70-80k per year. After a drink at Majestic bar, we went down to Clarke Quay, and decided to have more drinks at Iguana bar. Still like that place since Daniel introduced it to me.

The next day, watched Wall.E with Kien and then met up again with Lawrence for dinner at the Japanese noodle shop next to Robinsons. Until today, I can't still remember the name of the shop. Right after that, took him down to Brauhaus at Millenium walk and there we chatted more. The band there was rather good eventhough they changed the lead singer. The previous one was some Eurasian which sang rather emo classic songs, but this time, it was a good mix between classics and pop. During the session, I outed myself to Lawrence. I didn't feel funny telling him about me being gay and looking back, we've know each other for more than 10years, all the way back in London when we were coursemates and housemates too. That time, I was leading a so called 'straight' life. I did ask him if it was a shock, and he was totally cool about it.

It's Wednesday today, and the weekend is coming up again. Looking forward to the weekend of hip hop party at Arena on Fri and then dinner and mooncakes with the regular gang. Here's to weekends...
