Plurk Gathering v2 – Ice Cold Beer at SMU

For the uninitiated, Plurk is a social medial tool and used for micro-blogging whereby one sends updates in 140 characters or less to the service. Plurk is very active in the local scene and most of the social media lovers are using Plurk very frequently to take part in various discussions, ranging from how great the Obama win was, to how lovely it is to take a dump in the toilet. Whatever the topics might be, Plurk is a great way to share and communicate.

We now have a Plurk: Singapore Facebook Group and had two ‘official’ gatherings so far with the last one at SMU’s Ice Cold Beer. A total of 17,352,451,726 30+ people turned up! We had loads of fun playing bar games with each other and laughing at a couple of people that totally sucked in certain games. It may sound evil that we laugh at them so openly but they are all alive so far and are looking forward to the next gathering that I was volunteered to organize. =P

I enjoyed myself thoroughly at the outing and it’s always great to put faces to the names/nicknames that I talk to so frequently online.

Join me on Plurk!

An Unusually Busy Saturday for Krisandro

My Saturdays are usually planned with one or two highlights like maybe a movie, clubbing, an ad-hoc trip somewhere or maybe a dinner with friends. So, KuKuNehNeh and I were quite worried when we had 3 events lined up for last Saturday.

First up was an ROM ceremony for KuKuNehNeh’s cousin at Swissotel Merchant Court. The couple chose to hold the ceremony at the poolside and the weather was very kind. These couple of weeks, Singapore either had blazing, underwear wet-wet, scorching hot sun or downpours of dogs and cats and whatever animals you can think of. KuKuNehNeh remarked to me that the couple were Christians and they probably prayed very hard for good weather the night before. I am such a free-thinker that Singapore might encounter its first sight of snow if I tried to pray for good weather on my wedding. So, don’t say that I didn’t warn you guys when the day comes.

We lazed on the chairs in the cool, cloudy midday and took some pictures.

After the ceremony, the guests were invited to a high-tea buffet at Ellenborough Market Cafe. The food was pretty good that I promptly forgot to take any pictures of it and gorged myself like a pig who went through 2 years of famine.

.

After lunch, we got a lift home from Wee Peng and changed into a more casual attire for a crab feast at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3.

The kind soul treating us is none other than a funny dude called Ah Lee who was celebrating his Birthday!

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH LEE!”

Oh, Ah Lee is SINGLE! All you ladies better grab him fast! All he asks for in a woman is only ONE THING! And it can be described using TWO NUMBERS and ONE LETTER.

After saying our goodbyes to this group of friends, we went home again for another change parade and this time it’s down to Orchard Road!

Leon is KuKuNehNeh’s SIM ex-classmate and he invited friends over to Acid Bar to celebrate his birthday.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEON!”

If KuKuNehNeh is the ‘walking Friendster’, then Leon must be the ‘walking Facebook’. He probably had 1/4 of Acid Bar filled with his friends that night. KuKuNehNeh and I had a round of Erdinger while I waited for the right time to get Leon to drink with me.

Two hours into the night, I decided that it is time and asked Leon to drink with me before we went off. And this is what he said over facebook.

Yeah! Me LOVES FLAMING LAMBORGHINI!

We took a couple of group pictures as well.
