G's birthday
G's birthday was to start at noon with karaoke, but I told him I'd be there later as I had basketball. However, there was no basketball because it was raining, but I decided to stay home anyway. I think it was because of the hot pot, I had something which could only be paradoxically described as diarrhea and constipation. Jim was right, we had to be careful not to under cook the meat.
So I spent the first half of the day going in and out of the toilet, then finally left at around 3pm to meet them in Chinksford. I met Thai and Michael L there first. It was a bit awkward, because we sort of made small movements to shake hands multiple times until finally he firmly reached out his hand for a handshake.
Apparently Shuing had gone home after karaoke and would join us later. G found us after he parked, and we went upstairs into the puzzle game room place. It looked a bit like a brothel upstairs, and although we all joked about it at first, I realised I shouldn't say too much to give too much away.
The game was fun, although I would've preferred anything other than Harry Potter. I made the first progress by snatching a wand hanging from the ceiling (don't think we were supposed to) and using it to open the cabinet. We actually solved the puzzle but the thing wasn't working properly which meant something was never triggered to allow us to complete it.
After that we drove to Bondi for the F1 simulation racing. Driving with only Michael L in the car is boring as. The only good thing was that he offered to shout my coffee because I paid for the parking.
After the coffee we went back to the simulation racing thing where we found Bobby and his wife waiting. It was a bit awkward because everyone approached to say hi. I approached as well but they never made eye contact with me, even though I was willing to say hi. It was very embarrassing as I looked multiple times for eye contact but it was clearly avoided. I walked away and stood next to Thai.
Later on Shuing and G's friend Betsy arrived and we all started the racing. It was pretty cool, but hard at the same time. I did pretty bad.
After that we went to Gurang's restaurant for dinner. G had only suggested it on facebook as a joke, because after F1 he said he planned to go to an Italian restaurant, but then Shuing was like "oh what? That was the whole point of tonight!" and with that slight push, G acquiesced, and we all headed to Gurang's restaurant.
I always thought this was a bad thing of Shuing. It's intrusive and disrespects a person's privacy to just rock up to their place without notice.
We went in and ordered our food and his parents told us that he was upstairs, and then later told us he left about 45 minutes ago. I messaged Gurang asking him where he was, and he called me and I put him on speaker phone, and when he heard his mum's voice, he figured out where we were and said he'd be here soon. When he arrived, he said he left home about two hours ago, and quickly ushered us out to get drinks. It was like he wanted us out of there asap.
I thought the food was kinda shit, but at least G enjoyed his presents. I gave him a G-Star t-shirt with a big 'G' on the front, and he tried it on. Malay, Thai and Brian gave him a Transformers book. Bobby gave him a singing lesson.
We all ended up at Max Brenna's at the uni. I spent the night talking to Bobby's wife, Michael L and Thai. I saw some similarities between his wife and Ele. Both seemed quite knowledgeable but also gullible when it came to beliefs. Or maybe all girls are like that.
After that Bobby and his wife left, and the rest of us stood outside talking and reminiscing about the old high school days for a while. Gurang obviously felt a bit uncomfortable I think, avoiding any photos and also trying to avoid us on facebook.
I drove Michael L and Thai home.
