First Weekend

Day 6

Finally don’t have to wake up so early. Woke up at 10 to prepare to go for pride parade 09. A group of us went for the pride parade which was super interesting with a lot of unique things. It was a very long walk of parade with groups of people marching with what they wanted to show or present to the mass. There was like gay rights, lesbian rights etc. This kind of parade would never never be found in Singapore, so was very unique. I also received a few ‘gifts’ from this parade such as a blue ‘necklace’, a blue baseball toy and a few packs of condoms! The people handing out to us were keep saying, ‘Use condoms, play safe’ or ‘Go back and f*ck all you can with this condoms’. This type of culture or thinking was kind of different compared to Singapore and getting used to it. We walked quite long for the parade before proceeding to the movie, ‘UP’. Philip, US Executive Director for Gambit treated those who were interested to watch this show. The movie was very nice and funny, advised people to go watch it. Also one thing about US Movie Theater was that it is free seating and also when you come out of the movie, you would walk passed other movie halls without anyone guarding it. So you could purchase a ticket and then watch a whole day of movies, so is based on your integrity to walk out of the building after you finished your show. After the show, a small group of us went to explore Chinatown area, which was interesting. After Chinatown, we proceeded to Wharf which was a LONG LONG walk there. After that, we headed to Regina Pizza for dinner. It was the best pizza I ever tasted. Strong recommended for the best pizza in the world. Best of all, it cost USD $6.50 after tax and tips. What a nice dinner we had! After dinner, the small group of us went for ice cream which tasted so-so for me. On the way back to dorm, we wanted to get some beers or liquors to celebrate Eunice birthday. But liquors or spirits can only be bought at liquor stores, normal shops won’t sell it. So we only realized that after visiting 7-11, a big supermarket and a long long walk. So in the end, is home sweet home for the tired folks after walking like 5km or more! I went back, bath, play a few rounds of game and then knocked out on my dearest bed.


Day 7

Well, today I woke up like 11 plus to 12 noon. I ate a big bowl of sweet strawberries for a quick breakfast before heading to Prudential Center for lunch and some window shopping. After that, four of us, Don, Kenji, Ben and me went for some sightseeing before walking to Chinatown’s Penang for dinner! Dinner was great as tasted of Singapore’s dishes. After dinner, we went to a sex shop in Chinatown which has 2 storeys of magazines, videos, movies, toys, condoms, gifts, etc. Quite an interesting shop! The four of us bought a thong for Eunice for her birthday present and I bought tiny condoms, dick lollipops and another thong for gifts. Hahaha. Unique gifts for ‘unique’ friends. Headed back to dorm for an early night as there is work tomorrow. Well, Kenny, Broy, Snake gang bought a birthday cake for Eunice but somehow the cake WAS ‘STOLEN’ by people living here. Was quite disappointed with those inconsiderate people! No money buys cake then don’t eat lar! Turning in early. Night!
