Be Na Lay
Big mistake going for a mahjong session with Allan, Lay Tin and Shirley at 10.30 a.m. on a Saturday morning. The night before, I went to the padang to attend the Singapore Biennale's opening party with Zhongyi. The party is truly boring and pathetic. Lucky for us, we wandered into the VIP tent while the security guard was busy fixing his torchlight. Free flow of beer and wine. We just sat there the entire time talking and checking people out. When we left, there must be about 40 people prancing/dancing in front of the stage. I don't think they need the padang for that few people.
We were off to Mox and after many superficial "Hello, how are you?" shit, we ended up chatting with Andre and Tim - friends of Ren whom I met at a recent barbeque. Tim studies interior design and is doing an assignment on creating a "homosexual space". Zhongyi gave his two-cents worth as an architect and I especially liked what he said about providing a bird's eye view of the entire space so that it makes checking people out easy. Of course he made it sound a lot more sophisticated by throwing in the name of a famous French artist or architect, and some technical terms. "Bird's eye view" is for laymen like me.
After that, we hung out with Francis and Roger at the studio apartment that they're trying to rent out. This is the apartment that Ben and I were supposed to spend last weekend at after attending WOMAD. But that didn't happen.
I know it's not like I've been doing this for a long time but I do miss playing tennis with him on a Saturday morning and sending him to the Esplanade for choir practise after that. Oh well...I'll have to settle for Sean and Elvin for tennis on Saturdays after my ankle recovers.
