A Weekend of Firsts

song : Hard To Concentrate - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
mood: headache
book-in-hand: Fabric of the Cosmos by Briane Greene





It's been an "interesting" weekend to say the least. Studying has screwed up my sense of literacy and so I shall endeavour to list them out in point form as follows....

• Owing to the auspices of Belinda's 22nd birthday bash, visited Hilton Manchester for the first time and went up to "Cloud 23" on its top floor for a drink and chill. Quite impressive. Good bartenders.
  
• Finally got to drink Frangelico for the first time in AGES. I think it's been a year. Managed to strike up a conversation with one of the bartenders and whilst exchanging tips on what might be good to have with Frangelico, he gave me at least 2 free shots of it to try and countless sips of various cocktails he was making for other customers. Shhh...
  
• For the first time I was more impressed with the cameo in a movie by Keith Richards in Pirates 3 than the leading cast. You could really see how much Johnny Depp based his character on the rockstar. The schizophrenic scenes by Mr Jack Sparrow were impressive too.
  
• For the first time EVER in my life, I got hit on by a man, a 30 year old man, in the pub. Was quite creepy, the way he came onto me and Brian. Now I know how gals feel when guys come on too strongly onto them. Hahaha. We hastily finished our drinks and moved onto the next pub.
  
• Managed to get in touch with Patricia for the first time since Christmas. That little woman has been one busy lady =) She climbed Mount. Kinabalu with her boyfriend, went on a business trip with her boss to India, witnessed the birth of Jessica's baby girl and so on. Can't wait to catch up with her in Singapore.
  
• Got depressed for I missed Ling Yu immensely for a moment and went on a casino spree thoughout the night by myself. First time I visited all 4 casinos in a single night. Total losses at the end of the night at 6am.... 3.40 pounds.
  

There are more... but they've slipped my mind. Surely the above points are more than enough already though. Till next we meet. Wish me luck for the remaining 3 papers!

p.s Ling, I told Aaron that you and I don't talk anymore, but still thought I would try to pass on the message. Aaron sends his regards and wonders if you are doing fine in Singapore. He asks if you managed to receive his last email and he would like to hear from you sometime. He also says that you are missed in Oxney.
p.p.s. Keith and Zhengjie also say that they miss your bad assness and wish they could drink with you again. Vicki sends her love too.
