I'll probably shove that idea to the side first... got other things to learn for now... Watching Band of Brothers again brought back memories of the first time I watched it... in NS... during our last 6 months, we had nothing much to do, so our officer let us watch it, saying that it gave very good examples of brotherhood and camaraderie, which was what he wanted us to have... And after so long, we still came back together again during reservist... like old times...
Went for a quick run after that... only managed to hit 3.5km... wanted to go till 5km, but saw the dark clouds approaching again, so I decided against it... got back, washed up and changed and went out to meet Jas... she wanted to go take a look at The Clinic... so I agreed to accompany her... supposed to meet Xuzi and Wenyan there too... but Xuzi couldn't make it, so it was just me, Jas and Wenyan in the end...
Wenyan was coming late, so I met Jas first, had dinner then went down to Clarke quay... Passed by the Reverse Bungy there... First time I'd been so close to it, so I just had to take pics... Hehe...
That's the structure from afar... I think the one I tried in sydney was much higher though...
That's the little metal ball you get strapped into right before you're launched...
And this although not very clear, was the next couple to get into the ball... a caucasian and his female companion, wearing white and light blue... and what I'd call... porn star heels... they're like stilettoes and the portion at the ball of the foot is also on a platform, both the platform and heels are clear... makes the legs look nice, but looks damn porn star like... damn high too...
Anyway, when she got in, there were A LOT of ppl watching... but the seats were big enough to stop anything unintentional from peeking out... haha... I was expecting screams, but surprisingly, the couple before them and they themselves didn't scream much... it was more of a... "WHHHOOOoooopppp!!" and... that's it.. lol...
I would have liked to try it, if it wasn't for the high price... so in the end, we just continued on to the Clinic... it was still early, so we took a walk around the much more spacious area compared to the day before, and went for ice cream at Haagen Dazs first... lol
Went in at around 11... took a look around... there were different names for different areas like Anthrax for the bar, Amino for the chill out area with the wheelchairs, unfortunately, Amino was closed for a special function thing... oh well... We went into the main area, nice chill out music was playing and interesting decor... but, the ceiling fixtures were a bit lacking... didn't really resemble a clinic on the inside... except for the tables and chairs which looked like pills... the 2nd floor had a nice view of the dance floor below, and huge comfy sofas... which, although they had the reserved sign there, the staff there allowed us to sit anyway... so we had the comfy sofa all to ourselves... hehe.. Wenyan came a while later, and we just had drinks, joked around and basically chilled... Drinks there were seriously not bad... quite potent sometimes... I probably wouldn't mind going back there next time... with more ppl... it would definitely be fun...
However, sitting down and drinking does had its limits, so we left for MOS at about 12 plus... surprisingly, there wasn't much of a crowd either... most of them probably stayed home after partying like crazy the night before... Hence, the crowd at the MOS main arena was mostly youngsters... seriously... the dance floor had those t shirt and jeans kind of people... 'trying' to impress the girls with their awful dancing... and I DO mean awful... Looking at them kinda made me wonder if I had ever looked like that... After some contemplation (5secs =P), I decided... Nah... I've got more groove than that... Hahaha...
It was a pity Smoove wasn't open that day either... only the main arena and 54 were open... main arena was playing R&B... some were songs I recognised, others, weren't... and those that I didn't recognise, were kinda hard to dance to... weird beats and all that... ended up trying to have fun and waiting for the right song to come along...
Dancing in the cages was quite fun... but not when you're next to someone who thinks he can break dance in that small space... I saw a different side to Jas when dancing with her.. Hehe... and it wasn't all that bad *grin*... You've got some nice moves girl... Hehe...
We stayed there till like 2 plus, till the music got too weird and unbearable, and we were, frankly, tired... hehe... walked out half deaf and thirsty... got drinks at TCC, sat near the river and chatted... Then, cos I had to take a cab home, I had to go to Liang Court to draw money... and the Macs there tempted us to get some food.. Lol...
Here we are... two very tired 'old' people.. Lol...
Saw her off in a cab, then I took the 2nd cab after, cos some half drunk prick tot it would be funny to jump in the cab before his friends did, not knowing I wasn't getting into the same cab as jas... Had a stare down with him as the cab drove by.. but was seriously too tired to do anything about it...
Got home, washed up and KOed till 11am the next day... Haha...

Band of Brothers is seriously damn nice! I think i watched it about 7 times in total. Episode 6,7 always invoke the most emotions. Go check out another unconventional war flick called "Over There". It talks about the Iraqi war.
Anyway, there is only one Xuzi i know. Is he a guy from Arts? See you in school.
