Redefining "no-life"

Due to a lack of activities available yesterday, a night was spent trying to squeeze as much amusement as possible out of whatever we could do. This is a story about that night.

First up was starving on a long bus ride to Ang Mo Kio which was agonising. Strolling around AMK Hub trying to find a place to eat wasn't very fun either. Needless to say, AMK Hub is ridiculously crowded and thus we ended up having to wander around finding foodcourts elsewhere.

And then there was this huge dragon dance thing which I haven't seen for ages so it was kinda cool. After some overrated fish soup noodles, went to the arcade to play a couple rounds of Daytone MAXXX edition, which features the ultra cool TURBO and MAXXXX buttons to remove all elements of skill and fairness from the game.

After emerging from the sleazy joint, we enjoyed glimpses of fireworks (yes real fireworks, don't know why) exploding beautifully behind a HDB block. Looked for about 5 seconds, then decided to try and catch a $5 movie at Eng Wah. After debating on what movie out of the 5 shows available to watch, we decided on one with a more mature theme. Put the money on the counter, asked how much it was. Turns out there's no $5 movies. Took our money and left. Little Kenneth had to leave early because of his curfew.

Went to Yishun, and wowee it was certainly our lucky day. Malaysian Getai King Wei Han Wen was playing a gig there for Lunar Fest 07. His signature "tremolo bar" vocals aka "dou ying" really blew the crowd away. Totally awesomeee.

Couldn't shove my way to the moshpit up front. INTENSE.

After failing to find some decent cheap flicks to rent, we went to Yuki-san's house. Played around with the exciting games on facebook and explored the wonderful world of online browser-based gaming whilst guzzling down bottles of yakult. Left at around 2am.

Yep, that's about it. I haven't felt this unproductive for some time.
