Dominique's Farewell.
Since I don't have any pictures of yesterday's gathering as yet (but you can find some at JK's blog), I will just talk about it.
Headed down to Golden Mile for an early dinner with Dom, Nora and Daniel before the gathering. I had krapow moo with a fried egg at a different eating place from my previous visit to Golden Mile, and it was a lot better. A lot more basil leaves, and for the same price as the previous place, you also get an egg (though Daniel and Nora insisted that paying $1 for the egg was a bit too much because they got it free in Chiang Mai). Accompanying our meal, we had Singha (of course) and Dom had Spy Red (haha). Spy Red is dubbed a "wine cooler" (I don't know wtf a "wine cooler" is though) and it's like Ribena that's alcoholic. I think you need to polish off 5 bottles first before you can feel the alcohol though, which is something that only Dominique can do because Singaporean tastebuds are not weaned on sugar.
Yesterday's turnout at Prickly Bush was admittedly small, but I suppose it was cozy that way. Yay for Winston who turned up. I distributed copies of the FS soundtrack (henceforth FSOST) which I spent two days burning, til my burner started screwing up on me. I will probably leave the rest of the copies with Songguang at the Geog department when term starts if the rest of you guys who want to pick it up. Liam insists that I need a cover for the OST as well, but since I am deficient in the designing department, I will gladly let someone else design it if they so wish.
So our original plan was to continue drinking in a room at a budget hotel, but suddenly, the "budget" hotels in Little India turned out to be not-so-budget at all and wanted to charge us over a $100 for the night, which was crazy. In the end, Chang Yi, Edina, Dom, JK and myself found ourselves walking past where JK stays at Veerasamy Road, where we parked ourselves at the first open space that we saw near some of the residential blocks. Between Dom, Edina and I, we had 4l of alcohol, which was crazy. I am proud to declare that we showed remarkable restraint and did not finish it all. We were all a little bit drunk by then, I think. With the exception of JK who doesn't drink. We sat there for over two hours just sipping drinks, eating chips and talking.
Dom will be flying off tomorrow at 3am. Before going to the airport to send him off, I will most likely be at Zouk for a little while with Xueying. You're welcome to join us.
