i did not record down the conversation but the contents does stand out, hence the deep impression. nothing is new but to actually hear it from the horses' mouths does bring a new perspective.

life is about experimenting, about experiencing. of course there's some stuffs there's pure no-no but you just cant help thinking what if i tried that...which of course, can sometimes lead to grave consequences.

had a marathon singing at k-box on yesterday. from 7pm to 4am. at least it's not as taxing as mahjong...but 9 hrs of singing...phew. it cost $35 for the whole thing and you can have either 2 drinks or 1 drink with dinner thrown in. pretty worth it, i would say. i wonder how they make $ from it? after we finished our entitlement of drinks, we would head to the 7-eleven if we fell thirsty. why dont they just charge lower for the drinks? at $7 a glass, not many would buy. a good business model?

when's the last time you celebrate a birthday with cake, presents and lots of friends? a long time ago? miss the experience?

for yesterday's event, i volunteered to get the cake. it's time i did something for them. a birthday celebration for 3 gals and a guy. it's with this group of poly frens that i actually celebrate birthdays. with other groups of friends, nay. well, i'm pretty neutral about it, dont really desire a birthday celebration for my own. i'm a low key person.

back to the issue of cake. if you are in charge of getting the cake, what's the criteria for getting one? the taste? the price? i mean, if you are going to get one from carrefour for about $15+, would you feel bad? are you pressurized to get one with a higher monetary worth? of course that's the usual cliche, "the cost is not important, it's the feelings behind it". but still....

settled for one from baker's inn. great taste but a tad too sweet.

and they didn't finish the cake...
