The Monkey has left the building, For now.....

That's right, after a fun-filled week of mass-mayhem n perversity Morgan The Monkey and Wei Loong have finally and sadly left for Brisbane and Tasmania respectively. They arrived last monday on the 13th, but due to my academic commitments (bloody lectures and tutorials.....), i could only roll over on the 16th, thursday. But trust me we didn't even waste a second. We had the usual on thursday, lots of CG (Lan), topped with a serving of Battle Gear4 and a hopeless go at the dastardly drum game. Of course the usual group meals followed. And that was just the warm-up. On friday i rushed off to the city immediately after my tutorials to join morg at roaldy's snazzy apartment to talk crap and listen to their questionable guitar skills (i joke, they're seriously not bad). Then it was off to join the "little one" and brendan and crew over at CG. We didn't really get far as we were all too damn hungry and promptly moved ourselves over to the much vaunted "Singapore Chom Chom" restaurant. The main attraction followed shortly after as we headed off to sing-k. And yes even lil' james went. So the night was spent singing ourselves hoarse (morg and i were constantly singing our asses off, and james left shortly after 12, i think). The lot of us then headed off to chinatown for some seriously late night/early morning-supper/breakfast (it was around 4am). Then xander, morg, brendan, ryan and i went to the arcade for some late night Battle Gear (ryan doesn't actually play so he just stood around and spectated). The day finally ended after that with me taking the first train (5:30am) back to good ole' Box Hill (which is my home for now). Saturday was as hectic as ever, i woke up at around 1 and promptly showered n dashed off to catch the 2pm train to the city. This of course resulted in me being late for the lunch at roaldy's place (of course i was still earlier than the girls.....). After lunch, the guys went to CG at the behest of james (as usual) while Alicia went off to buy the tickets to Die Hard 4.0 (yes i know it came out in Singapore a long time ago) with Wei Loong in tow. So after getting my ass handed to me again at StarCraft the lot of us headed down to central to catch the movie. And i must say it was smashing. After the movie was the usual dinner followed by a tad bit of CG and such. Sunday was a bit more reserved, at first, with me only turning up at 5:30pm to force brendan to go to church. After that it was off to Jie Yi's and Alicia's apartment for steamboat. Everything was good and proper till we were done with all the eating (truthfully neither the sushi nor the agar agar gave me any stomach problems so i guess their cooking still borders on the edible, but to give them credit i'll concede that it was reasonable.) and good ole' morg suggested we play the dreaded truth or dare. Now i'll cut to the chase, the Singaporeans (ala Alicia and i) were rather invulnerable to it untill somewhere near the end she had to choose the wrong number and got it. After that everyone knew it was only a matter of time before my vaunted and amazing luck faltered. However as most of my comrades in SG will know i am quite immune to the game as i am simply the best liar there is (not that i had to lie for that question anyway) and i can keep a straight face in the most damnable of hilarious situations. And i am also capable of feats of great insanity. As displayed when i had to lick the tip of the bottle that morgan had drank from (saliva and all) and had to drink/eat a raw egg. All without hesitation. So that wild night finally ended with the guys (xander in particular who single handedly washed all the dishes) cleaning up. I as usual had to bunk in at john's place and had to wait for the early morning train home again. As usual all good things had to come to an end, albeit temporarily, and both of them left on monday afternoon. I made it a point to come down to the city to play a round or two of foosball with them before seeing them off.
