I couldn't really think of a title for this post so I decided that it would be dedicated to my Mermaid counterpart, Benson. Hope you had the most awesome birthday ever. You're finally 21. Make sure to live it up while you're still young, especially before you get bogged down with surgeries and Grey's Anatomy style relationships/flings. I signed your guestbook as Benson, but I assume you would know who it was lol.
Now, a recap of my night. Great time catching up with the Double Squad last night to celebrate Benson's 21st birthday. Met up with Kyle at uni and went for dinner at a nice little Malaysian restaurant on Hunter Street that sold laksa. First time trying laksa. It was...ordinary, but nice. Kyle would stab me for that. Then met up with Rommel at Lindt Cafe where we decided to bum until 9ish cos only lame people show up to a party on time. Hot chocolate was awesome, but not as sweet as I would have liked it. Seems like all we talked about during that time at Lindt Cafe was our upcoming travels and acne. Interesting topic. Did you know that a type of acne treatment is also an anti-malarial treatment? Yeah I didn't either. That's how the two topics linked.
After that very insightful conversation, we headed up to Benson's, where we found that he wasn't even drunk yet. Alas, I'm sure that would have changed later in the night. Emo King Mirza and Mermaid Queen Meg were already there, as was Boobie Beth. It was like a little Mutinous Mermaids reunion (but Mermaids won this round lol). Some random (besides Meg) confused me with Benson. I still don't see how we can be confused, but Meg appears to have a natural skill for mistaking me for Benson, but never the other way around. I think it's time to take out the competition. Benson, get ready to duel to the death. Only one can survive. But knowing everyone, once I destroy you, I'll still be called Benson. Looks like I'll never win so I'll allow you to live. Consider it your birthday present, look-alike.
Well, after leaving Benson's, found out I just missed my train and would have to wait half an hour til the train at 12:30am. By that time, it would have been easier for me to just wait until 1:30am and get driven home by Amanda. So I just wandered around the city that whole time. And then I found out that they weren't leaving til 2:30am. Was now regretting the decision not to take the train back. But alas, couldn't change it now and so I just continued to wander the streets of the city like a tourist (but without a camera). Must have trekked at least 5kms last night. Time seemed to slow down, and 2:30am seemed to never come, but when it finally did, it was a welcome relief. No more walking in the bloody cold. Finally got home at 3:30am. So much for having an early night.
But yeah, I'm now doing this instead of my thesis, and I'm about to head out for coffee to catch up with an old friend. Thesis, you will have to wait til I'm done.
