Mango Days, Hectic Sleepovers, and Quixotic Nights

So, quite a lot has happened since I last posted!*

And so, as a part of my goal for this summer [and hopefully the rest of my life, but that's just wishful thinking] of being more organised. (They say organisation is the key to success and so I may as well try and follow that right? No harm in trying, right?) I shall make a list of preeeety important events that have highlighted the start of my wonderful 09 summer.

Summer Experiences to Date

1. A whole day consisting of mangoes in each and every meal.

2. Playing Badminton & Pool - and getting my butt kicked. Not that I was really trying, anyway... Oh and Mark wanted me to say that he holds his poo in for me as a declaration of love. (:

3. Crashing a drunken sophomore-junior party with my junior-senior friends. It wasn't my idea though but it was pretty fun! Fortunately for me, I don't drink so I get to experience all of these poor out-of-control people's types of drunkness and crazy under-the-influence acts. This led me to be...

4. Taking care of these drunk souls (especially KJ's hahaha!) and documenting it for future references. :P

5. Falling asleep at unexpected places with unexpected friends. Sounds a bit dodgy yes but not to worry. (:

6. Being [uncomfortably] chatted-up by a 30+ year old man who asked for my e-mail address (which of course I didn't give) and a 'nice chat downstairs over coffee'. I don't need to go further about how... wrong that was. =/

To Explain?

1. It just happened to be that M and I went to Mango Mania, this cute little yellow restaurant near Bangsar Village. Basically, everything on the menu had to do with mangoes. We ate this mango chicken thing =/ and then this really cute frozen yogurt. Not too bad actually, was quite good and sweet. But the strange thing was that later for dinner my mom served this really delicious salad that had mango pieces in them too. And then I realised that earlier during the day, I had a mango for part of my breakfast... It certainly was a mango day. (:

2. I played Badminton! Finally, some sports for the summer - and at least some sort of training for when I join the badminton team next school year. I lost though, all three sets that we played HAHAHA except I wasn't trying that hard okay?! And i upped his points, I gave a lot of points to him during the third set. So the games were corrupted and improper. Hmph. I also played pool, with my girlfriends (mainly Jan and Nella cause Rick and Kristi aren't that great at pool :P) at Breakers and with M at the One Utama pool/foosball/bowling/arcade/movie area. I played well with the girls but lost against M. Not my fault though! He's had a pool table at his house for three years!

3. During the sleepover, they had this idea to crash Phoebe's birthday party at Tropicana. Alright so it wasn't really crashing since Novia invited Rick and us, but I still felt pretty bad. Ah well, they were all so nice, and we still ended up having a great time. The unfortunate thing was that most people drank wayyy too much, and well some people are depressed drunks so that brought the mood down. ): But for the most part it was good and we were all safe. The sober ones took care of them. (:

4. OH MY GOODNESS KRISTI YOU BETTER NOT DRINK NEXT TIME. Because you really are so annoying when you've drunk too much haha i'm saying this because I care for you sweety. Okay? It wasn't just you though, other people (eh hem rick with his bottle haha and jan+carl being so sweet together) got a bit tipsy too but they're not as dependent as you. Sorry to say. :P

5. Haha I won't delve into that. But it sure was quite quixotic. <-- Search it up if you don't know what it means.

6. Ah yes, sigh. What happened was that I went to Gloria Jean's Coffees (right near my house - and ooh, where i'll be working this summer so be sure to drop by!) Open Mic Nights every Wednesday Night (Yes drop by! It's a night where people perform whatever they want - music, poetry, anything - in an open microphone. Anyone can sign up and some of the singers are really talented!) Anyway, back to the point... so quite a lot of people come to these open mic nights, and the night that I come, it so happens that this man (who, unfortunately, is a friend of one of the owners of that branch of Gloria Jean's Coffees and knows that I want to work there) was sitting near me and talked to me quite a bit. (No no i'm not one of those people who talk to strangers! It's just I couldn't avoid him since the place was packed and he actually is associated with one of the bosses of the place so he's not that much of a stranger. Sigh. And it wasn't me who was talking I was just answering the questions - believe me I didn't wanna talk to him but agh he kept talking to me.) And well, before he had to go he was talking about how next wednesday we should have a chat over coffee downstairs (Gloria Jean's Coffees has two floors) and he gave me his calling card and all, with the excuse of contacting him for a discount at the EDEN restaurants (bad excuse if you ask me) and then he asked for my email and all that. Of course, I didn't give it to him. The sad thing is that i'm going to work at Gloria Jean's, and probably go to the open mic nights again, and so I may actually see him again. Wish me luck on avoiding this weirdo. =/

So as you can see some of these experiences have been well, pretty good but quite disturbing too. But ah well, this summer has been soo great so far. I've been fulfilling what I mainly set out to do: hang out with friends + family and have a great time.

And tomorrow i've got plans to watch 17 again with my girlfriends and mabye Carl and M as well. Then I shall go bowling with them (hopefully!) and if not, just M, and hopefully kick his tush in it. Payback for him beating me in pool and badminton. (:

*pictures will be up whenever. (:
