Ah… wade’s birthday was on wednesday. Linxy came back, we got him a present, and then went out for dinner at shogun’s. It wasn’t anything spectacular since Linxy actually forgot wade’s birthday, where else i actually remembered but wade, who actually wanted to organise something, didn’t actually THOUGHT OF ANYTHING!

In the end, dragging stugong along, the 4 of us had teppanyaki at Shogun’s. as far as i am concerned, Wasabi is better than Shogun’s, albeit with smaller serving portions. The guy at Wasabi was friendlier, fun-er and etc. but that’s just me and my opinion yer?

We ordered the Sakura teppanyaki set, which was the mid-range teppanyaki set, with 2 serves of Zensai Sashimi for entrees. This is because there’s plenty of stuff i don’t eat on the “better” teppanyaki set anyways, which costs like 20 bux more. might as well get a cheaper set that i actually like, and order the “extras” that i do like as well. turned out to be cheaper since we shared the costs. i don’t normally eat weird sea food, particularly one still with eyes or something. the squid was out for various reasons – it has 8 weird legs. the spring roll is a nice combination of seafood sticks, tuna sashimi and carrot, so that was bearable.

The sakura set consists of prawns and fish cooked in what i think is a mixture of shoyu and XO sauce, chicken and what they called, Shogun Rib eye fillet.

again, since there wasn’t much entertainment to be had, the food tiself was actually to take pictures of. one thing great about being with wadie, linxy and the rest is that we all talk stuff that we know it ranges from Lineage 2 (apparently there’s a bug that allows clans that forgot to pay their monthly clan hall dues or something to “reclaim back” their clan hall as long as they actually bid for it when the npc sets it up for bidding), to talking about them building new computers with sata raid hdd and how linxy now has 9 hdd (ahou, go buy like 320 gig hdd instead then, then it would be 5 instead of 9 -.- ) and exchanging shitty customers stories. E.g – linxy was talking about how an idiot customer called up about her email, and how she didn’t receive any emails. but it was there, in her junk folder coz she set up spam filters. for that, he got paid 180 bux. lol

yer, it was nice catching up with friends again.

i guess the only thing everyone was looking forward to was wade opening his present or rather, i hope he was. i believe all of us truly started watching anime no thanks to uni and it’s various stress factors, and then branched out from there to whatever else. we haven’t been able to catch anime lately for the same reasons, but linxy and wadie have still been downloading them anyways. Wade’s first anime was the ever ecchi chobits…

so we got him that, told him to give us his most ecchi pose, and i ended up laughing to hard not to shake. idiot LOL… he look so otaku-ish in this pose oh wells Meanwhile, stugong was busy checking out the girls walking past us. he wasn’t even trying to hide it. -.- we suggested then he put his savings to good use, and perhaps lavish his psp on me. his response? “YOU ARE ANNOYING AND TOO SHORT!” eh, excuse me? just because you stupid monkey over hit your growth spurt and ding 1.9m doesn’t mean i am short ok! YOU ABNORMAL WALKING POLE. everyone started threatening to send me off into some wilderness somewhere so i can walk home on my short legs… being bullied is a terrible feeling… bigots.

of course, the other great thing about talking to geeks like them is that WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. walking past the new buildings, wade asked a rather random question, “ARE THEY GOING TO BUILD A WALL THERE OR WHAT? OR IT’S GOING TO OVERHANG LIKE THAT?!?”

stu: ” wade, walls are FOR n00bs. wtf walls” lmao~

talking about geekery, i just found out something last night. Hrm.. i was looking at some spoilers about Rozen Maiden, just off wikipedia and some anime’s wiki community thing. I had been reading for some days now, but have been glancing over some stuff just so that i don’t spoil it too much for me, which just made me want to watch it even more, particularly because:

1) i heard one of the main character’s (suigintou) laughter is horrible – erm… people who knows me won’t need any further reasons why i am so intrigued by this.

2) a couple of the characters are related to Anna Sui and Lolita Lempicka.

even for people who knows me, this is going to sound real rich – i actually do own perfumes and make up. i just, rarely use them. the reasons why i even owned them in the first place doesn’t even have anything to do with them being… for make up/going out reasons. it’s just because i was drawn to them, by the iconic symoblism, by their designs.

both of them stands for feminism, but not like, sweet pretty feminism. Lolita Lempicka was more… sensual, underlying sexy, but classy at the same time. the symbol for it was the Apple – in adam and Eve, and the colours were purple (which brings to mind what’s behind the symbolic colours of purple…). for someone who liked purple (i still do, but i don’t have my entire wardrobe all dark now), this was THE perfect perfume

Anna Sui popped by in singapore somewhere after that, and i got drawn to the entire concept. if anyone’s been to an Anna Sui cosemetic counter, you will know what i mean. It’s all black, purple, victorian, fluffy – a little bit of goth, punk, lolita, lace – feminine and loving it (don’t know how else to explain this).

which resulted in a craze….

yer… between them both, i have got my money well spent in those years where i was working full time. that’s right, some of these make up are about 4 years old now. i don’t even know why i still keep them, but i adore them so much because it’s FEMININE but not the subservient sort. not, “i am girl so i should be pink and sweet and just a show and tell piece.” ya~

ok, so i read too much into these things, but hey, people collect stamps, i collect paper bags, perfumes and make up why not ?
