gals' nite out
i'm back in kuching for a week and a couple of my friends decided to plan a 'hen's night' for me. i have no idea why it's called a hen's night - sounds rather crude to me but anyways, 8 of us gals had some fun time tonite.
they took me to dinner at 'Mr.Ho's Fine Dining' which served pretty good food at decent prices. the healthy pasta (it looked green!) was delicious, and for someone who doesn't like coriander - i was surprised to find i actually liked the pasta. the rest of the food wasn't bad either. before the end of the dinner, they brought out their 'tools' - a full veil, and a choker made of ribbon with flower petals. i had to wear it the whole nite. haha. but i was thankful the veil actually looked kinda nice.
that was just the beginning. we went to town and i was given more tasks to perform. it was a good thing i had told myself to just take everything with an open mind and be a good sport. first, i had to approach 2 tables of people at Bing's to tell them how i met my husband-to-be. and next, at Mojo, i had to ask 3 guys for their names and phone numbers - maykee even prepared a marker pen so that i can't wash it off so easily! man, these gals ARE prepared!
after that i had to choose a song that both sherm and i liked - and sing it to people sitting around at Coffee Bean. i had to think quite a while for a song. i hardly listen to pop songs nowadays, and most of the songs we share in common are christian songs. but it wud be kinda weird to sing 'be thou my vision' or such to complete strangers. then i remembered - 'the sound of music'! it's a movie we both love, and it's such a classic. so i took and deep breath, and sang 'elderweiss', that got me applause from everyone there. hahaha...
the other 2 tasks involved me going up to more strangers and saying more silly things - so i shall spare you of those details :p suffice to say, that their expressions were priceless and we got a lot of laughs out of that.
if u were thinking that this doesn't sound very characteristic of me, u're probably right. but i decided to just go along and have some fun with the gals so i won't disappoint them and make the whole nite a drag. i was very glad they kept liquor out of the equation, and all we did was have some good clean fun, with lots of laughs thrown in.
all the ladies looked gorgeous, and the photos will be proof of a memorable night out. i might post one or two pics here when i get them :)
thanks u gals! u're the best!
