party week turned into disaster saturday. backtrack.
i wished Friday could last a lifetime and Saturday never came. Went out with the mother for a shopping spree in the morning. Bought a pair of pants, a nice black top, and a pair of Aldo shoes. Damn, i was trippy. But luck was also on my side. Sometimes, it's frustrating to walk around and find nothing. Headed home before rushing out to meet Ranon. Silly billy asked me to meet at city hall mrt, when the performing field was on the park mall side. We walked to Fort Canning, made one big round down to the other side. So there were two pathetic perspiring souls, having to stop at every juncture to navigate - US.
Midsummer Night's Dream wasn't fantastic. I'd give it A for effort, but nothing more. I wasn't blown away. I hated the postmodern and intertextual take on it, with the insertion of pop tunes. The lack of time period with regard to costume was another bummer for me. But the extensive, infinite space of the 'stage' was lovely. I loved the 'unintended signs' of people walking on the stage/wooden planks to get to their places. I was trying to make meaning of it. Yes. Semiotics. It's all part of the performance.
starlight starbright.
We made our way down to Home Club after the show. It took us another 20 minutes or so to find the shortest route down to park mall, because the staircases were conjested. Anyway, it was Ranon's first time for an indie night. I tend to get worried about people getting bored. But i guess he enjoyed himself. Bumped into so many dungeonites, the regulars and other people. Love the music. Love the people. Love the beer.
Disaster Saturday was only four hours away by the time i got home. Meant to wake up at 8, but i got up to a nagging voice of the mother at 10. Went to do some last minute grocery shopping and began my preparation for the night. I've never stood so long in the kitchen before, almost six hours. I cooked too much pasta, and now i'm probably stuck with it for the entire week. Here comes the carb overload. What was meant to be a birthday party became a drunken fest. There was no cake cutting, no surprise, no whipped cream frenzies.
Dinner was served and the boys started drinking Chivas. Cass's "no alcohol until after 10pm" threats did not work. Played some cards and drinking games. And by this time, many of the BOYS were high. My house was turned topsy turvy. The noise could be heard across the causeway, doors were being banged and a particular boy crashed in the showering tray in my toilet, then slid himself down my staircase. I say boy(s), with reference to those turning 20 this year. My other friends came one after another. I had to attend to them, and look after the drunktards, and clear the tables, wash up. I was at my wits' ends. Thank goodness for Chris, Cass, Liza and Denzil who kept my sanity. I'm glad Shaun, Noelle, Rohai, Josh, Iliyas, Miller and Ewan cracked me up when i was all about to cry. I hoped you all enjoyed the free 'entertainment'. I felt like a terrible host. By this time, there was one guy sleeping at my carpark downstairs with two guys attending to him, one guy in my room puking his guts out, and a bunch of people standing outside my gate just chilling. I couldn't offer them my company, and i felt extremely bad. So we splashed a particular someone with 10 pails of water, hauled him into the cab, and sent him home. He was a deadweight, and very very heavy. We had to drag him, barefoot, and half naked, into the cab.
I didn't finish clearing up until late, sat down and talked to cass, liza, chris and denzil for abit before they headed home. I broke down. I'm glad my parents spared me a lecture this morning. They asked some pretty silly questions, and they were pretty cool with what happened. I quote the mother, "it's okay if he's drunk, just don't behave like a barbarian. Just sit down quietly and rest."
she waxed lyrical - 2:10 PM
