OG 11 Outing 11/10: Celebrated Yingling's and Melissa's Birthday (October 2010)
Sunday, October 10, 2010 @ 2:01 PM
Hi Elevenies,
On 9 October 2010, OG 11 met at Plaza Singapura to celebrate Yingling’s and Melissa’s birthday. Moreover, Jieyang brought his girlfriend (Hazel) along for the outing and we welcome Melissa who joined us for this outing. We met at 6pm at Dhoby Ghaut MRT and Jieyang, Hazel and Yingling reached first followed by myself and Melissa. As Yuhan forgot about Yingling’s present, she had to go back home to collect and she was late for the first time. As this time we have decided on the place to have our meal, we went to Pastamania and there all the gossip started.
Jieyang was the spotlight of the night as Yingling and Yuhan kept making fun of Jieyang until his face became so red like it is going to explode anytime. Jieyang’s present for Yingling is to bring Hazel along and she kept asking me about my new criteria. They also kept teasing me and Melissa and we also talked about our past outing since I can remember most of the outing since we knew each other in 2007. Huixin called Jieyang and Jieyang told her not to come since we are leaving for Timbre anyway. We also found out that Hazel’s birthday coincidentally falls on the same day as Melissa.
After our meal, we proceeded to Timbre and when we saw the number of flights of steps that we need to climb up to Timbre, our legs turned to jelly since we have to climb up 9 flights of steps (more than 100 steps). After climbing up all the steps we were panting away and when we reached Timbre we had a seat straight away as I already booked the seat in advance. However, as no one wanted to order anything or have too many choices but not sure which want to order, we decided to do a very embarrassing thing which is to stand up and leave the place. I wanted to order Sprite which cost $6 and everyone laughed as we can get a bottle of Sprite for slightly more than $1 at Mac. I also joked with Yingling that since she doesn’t know what drink to order, she should buy everything and she said she would if I pay the bill. Everyone started asking me to treat them and I told them I might to do next year April but not now. When Yuhan turned the menu she said the menu has a strong smell and Melissa could smell it as well. However, when Jieyang smelt it at close range, he still could not smell the smelly smell coming from the menu and Yuhan said that maybe Jieyang smells the same as the menu that's why he can't smell the smelly smell from the menu. Hazel also went to smell the menu but also can't smell the smelly smell and Yuhan say maybe Hazel is too use to Jieyang smell that's why she can't smell it also. LOL. We waited for about 10 minutes and when no waiter was looking we stood up and faster made our way out of the place.
We climbed down the 9 flights of steps again and decided to proceed to Plaza Singapura Mac and chit chat there. Richard smsed me saying that her had something urgent to attend to and unable to meet us for the outing. We ordered ice-cream while Yingling kept bugging me on my criteria for my girlfriend. Yuhan told me that the girl that you will be together usually will not fit my criteria and Jieyang say Melissa will change her character because of me. I don’t understand why they kept gossiping of I and Melissa? I hope the case last year will not repeat itself and I also hope you all can stop making fun of me. While Jieyang was ordering the cake for Yingling, Xinni arrived. Jieyang then started to tell everyone that Xinni has found someone she liked (her bf that is). As Jieyang and Hazel have to go for their class outing, we decided that it was time to go home and I passed the Melissa's birthday present contributed by the OG to her and we left Plaza Singpura at about 10.15pm.
Hope that Melissa can continue to join us in subsequent outings since the number of people has been very low this year. Moreover, hope that Yingling can bring her boyfriend in the next outing so that Jieyang birthday wish can be fulfilled. LOL.
Yuhan suggested to have a gift exchange this year where we will draw lots and buy a present of about $5 to $10 for a specific person in December. All the best to those in NUS as they are taking their exams next month. Next month outing I will leave Jieyang to decide.
