Saturday

Was invited by angie to a bbq/chalet in changi with tons of people i don't really know very well. There were lots of food and drinks (mostly alcoholic by the looks of the icebox and fridge), and the people were quite nice to be with in general though i have not spoken to most before. Couple of them were from the sausage party at my house two months ago (holy cow, has it been so long?), and it was great to meet up with them again. However, the most interesting thing that happened (other than the guy that went around toasting other with a lethal bowl of vodka/sprite), was when my friend angie introduced me to one of the girls at the bbq. Turned out that she sort of recognized me and later we found that we were in the same class for first 3 mths in ACJC after she told me her name. Small world. What was even more freaky was when i asked her what was she doing and she said, "fencing mostly", suddenly tiny clogs and bolts in my brain clicked (in a nanosec) and i burst out with "OH MY GOD! You are the UStravelmate! (courtesy of Vaya's blog)". The amazing thing was, while at tea with B12 and snow that very afternoon, her name had came up during our conversations (involving NYD, greenbean soup). While her name was quite unique, it was her occupation that really stood out. So when we met at the bbq, it was like six degree of separation all over again, but even more freaky. Like i said, small world. Anyway, the rest of the evening was fun, especially those people from the sausage party who stayed till quite late as well. Finally crawled home around 230 after flinching a bottle of archer's and baileys (ermm.. as nudged by angie) for our next party.

Hmm.. pasta party anyone? :)
