happy wednesdays

it is the peak of my week. the time when we dance a little or play some games and then head down to town for our weekly dose of retail therapy, chinese cuisine and delectable desserts.

this wednesday i played dodgeball with james,saff,luna and cheng. we made up team 'James Rules'. i'm in love with dodgeball!!~the mat-salleh version of 'bola cap' and 'susu slipper'. of course dodgeball is alot safer as it doesn't use a small hard tennis ball but instead a soft-ish football-ish thing. it doesn't involve jumping across drains (and sometimes into it), running onto roads trying to avoid on-coming cars, climbing up slides or hiding behind trees. it's a relatively painless and regulated version of all the games i grew up playing. and thank god there is no 'jesus christ'-where we had to stand up against a wall, hands spread as everyone took a shot at your back as punishment for losing (this was part of susu slipper).

oh but today, i think there was as much fighting, arguing and squabbling as there was playing on the court. some of the rules that we decided upon at the beginning were slightly ambiguous, causing a great deal of confusion. despite all that, it was terribly fun. especially since the day progressed with us taking a trip to cha cha moon off regent street for chilli prawn mee and capping the night with italian gelato at ciao after.
