It was overall a fun weekend. Had this BBQ on 17, one of multi-nationality and multi-professions. There were the usual BBQ stuff, packet food and tonnes of booze. We started chatting in various clutters, mostly hitting off with "what do you do?" and "where are you from?" questions. To me, everyone seem to have a unique and interesting character. Gradually, we started playing drinking games. One friend introduces a japanese game which was nothing like those that i have played with my other drinking mates. Basically, its counting from 1- 10 where at 8 and 10 we will have to say "たこはち" and "いかじゅう" respectively.

With the help of the booze, the atmosphere lighten up and everyone slowly seem to be at ease with everyone else gradually. Jazz and Hip-hop music along with our laughter filled the air throughout the night. It wasn't just another BBQ, everyone doesn't exactly know everyone else and we still manage to have fun together. There were retailers, dance instructor, accountant, financier, etc, but in a way every person was just themselves at that very moment; nothing pretentious, just real.

18. Had only 4hrs of sleep from the previous night. Played soccer, read the saturday papers, afternoon walk in orchard, ramen/pork cutlet rice, karaoke, drinks @ no.5.

19. Woken by the kids at my house. Put on my england jersey, had breakfast and left for work. While at work, ほんとにつまらない.
