2018 Recap

Hey guys! I know we are coming to the end of 2019, but let's pretend it's still 2018 here because we are 1 year behind on this blog as is tradition. Here is the recap of our year when Ck was still a single, emo mountain and Jh was trying to break down the walls of Th. The following stories are based on my foggy memory and may possibly be exaggerated.

We said goodbye to 2017 with one of the most epic countdown parties the world has ever seen.

Basically we went to a kopitiam, not drink a single sip of alcohol, watched people celebrate from 20 meters away while Rea and Jl counted down on the Uber because they were late. What a way to bring in the new year.

In Feb, we celebrated Yc and Ivy's birthdays over a hotpot meal. Apparently they wanted to eat something soupy and not too dry.

I bet they were relieved to be sitting at the other table because these 3 other guys that i shared a table with were analyzing Jh's massive penis throughout the night.

I was invited by Yoogane to my first food tasting and brought Ck along as part of my "Eatify" team. We even busted out the GoPro to look like professional food bloggers. The fruits of labour are sweet indeed, just like the army stew which was also unusually sweet and very confusing to us.

Sorry i don't appear on my competitor's shows.

Post chinese new year, we had a reunion dinner right before our Japan trip just in case we never returned from skiing at Niseko.

You know you gonna suay the whole year when the lo hei begins with "有柠檬的meh?" instead of the usual words of prosperity. Oi no wonder i still single and life still so sour.

Oh well, at least i have you guys. 有你的感觉真好, 972 最爱频道。

And you too adorable little one. It's crazy to see how much you've grown in 1 year.

Here's one person who definitely hasn't grown up. Here she is proving to me that she can snipe a photo of Bernard without him realising it.

And as for some others... they degenerated all the way back to Sec 2 playing maplestory in lan shops.

Still love you guys though muackzxc

In April, we lost Jl as she left everything behind to pursue a new life in New Zealand as a farmer. Nice of her to take a photo of us saying goodbye to her.

Eventually we allowed her in the pic but only because she threatened to farewell la ji with Reagan in front of us. Disgusting.

Look at all our devastated faces, especially Reagan realizing that he can now play as much dota as he wants. Tragic.

Like all good buddies, we did everything to help Reagan cope with the loss. Like keeping Jl's side of the bed warm to ensure that he never had to sleep on a cold, empty mattress. 朋友一生一起走~ 那些日子不再有~

Little did i know, my other baby boy was being seduced away by a vixen right under my nose.

To get a measure of my rival, i figured someone basic like that would definitely shop at The Closet Lover so i camped at the Raffles Place branch for 5 mins and lo and behold there was the 狐狸精.

But who am i to stand in the way of love? Granted, due to Jh's lack of experience in relationships, we were constantly worried by his unorthodox methods of jio-ing her.

Like sexually assaulting her in public.. But surprisingly it worked so i will now start molesting random girls on the streets in hope of finding the one.

Next thing i knew we were watching her play with flags but that wheelchair guy definitely stood out for me i'm sorry

Either way, welcome to MSE Th hope you enjoy your stay love your Garrett popcorn dress btw.

Ck also had a glimpse of love in 2018... for ten seconds. She was waiting for him to notice her jugs of milk but Ck only had eyes for his Marigold yogurt.

Distraught at missing out on his golden opportunity, he was not the same following that night at the supermarket. It's almost as if his heart bought a plane to Egypt but suddenly not comfortable going then in the end he cancel ticket but then become delay ticket then ownself maybe go next time.

When you are so depressed that even the full squad can't cheer you up into buttoning your top button.

You can feel the sorrows in his voice. I got choose you bro.

The most painful version of 当你 i have ever heard. That night at Tampines 1 Manikineko, he truly became Cyndi Wang Chia Kai. 

Yc rapping up a storm, performing some quick mafs.

We lost dear Lassie recently in 2019 but i wanted to remember her back when she was still horny and full of zest. That weird sound you hear at the end is not my mating call towards Reagan but instead my body warning me that i cannot turn more than 180 degrees. 

At least you won't have to get sexually violated by me anymore. We will miss you sweet girl ♥

We welcomed the arrival of Caspia and Terence's first child, Asher the cashier. Not sure why his parents didn't like that nickname very much.

What the fuck i thought you died 10 years ago from alcohol poisoning. 

Another surprise was the return of Eug who popped out from his black hole back into MSE.

Just in time to celebrate Kenneth's birthday party at a chalet. The last time we were at a chalet together we ate cup noodles with Sarah at 3am.

The birthday songs start sounding more and more off tune because nobody wants to celebrate getting older.

Games and laughter were aplenty and the night capped off with a treacherous game of King's Cup that had alcohol, coke and fried rice.

Had fun going back to 20 years old for a night tho.

Rare sight of the full squad together minus the deceased Jl.

10 years on and we still like to walk as if our grandfather own the road.

We had work the next day but Sj asked if we were going to go drink. So the game of "if xx steady then i steady" started until it reached Yc and he stunned all of us by saying ok. The next thing we knew, everyone was regretting together at the bar.

As always, christmas is an annual affair of attempting to eat and drink ourselves to death.

No xmas is complete at the Xu's without turkey and ham. We don't even like turkey that much but it's actually a special tribute to my late uncle who used to come to our place during christmas. He absolutely LOVED turkey so much that he could finish half a bird by himself. But on the xmas eve of 2012, he was chomping away at his turkey as usual when he suddenly got a stroke. We had to rush him to the hospital where it was chaos at the A&E. By the time the doctor got to him, it was too late. Blood supply to his brain had been blocked off for too long and he fell into a coma. I still remember the doctor's sombre face as he approached us with a broken voice, telling us to be prepared for the worst. It was a rough few weeks and we were in no mood to celebrate the turn of the year + cny. Miraculously, after a few months he regained consciousness and the first words he said were "Perhaps i shouldn't have GOBBLED up that turkey so quickly". Lol i'm just shitting you guys there's no turkey loving uncle who got a stroke from eating turkey. I walked you through an emotional rollercoaster just to make that pun.

Look at that wonderful spread. The only coma that was induced was food coma.

We wrapped up 2018 with a MSE reunion bbq at ecp. Lol at that foldable chair that will only be used once a year.

Bought fresh pork, painstakingly marinated them in char siew sauce 24 hours in advance and yet it doesn't taste as good as junk food like seaweed chicken. I also plucked 60 quail eggs and marinated them to replicate tori q. 我那么努力干嘛?

Lol at that hari raya mat that we will only use once a year as well. Jl returned from her half year stint in NZ but dunno why she initially couldn't sit properly for a few weeks. Strange.

We had a full attendance that day with a few additional surprise guests.

This photo makes me uncomfortable.

Wash eyes with some 俊男美女.

Glad to see you back in MSE Rebecca.

Always fun to catch up, make new friends and see MSE expanding with their +1s (apart from Tim's case which was just a Paynow transfer from Sj). Bbqs are terrible to plan and prepare but you guys are worth it ♥

You may have wondered what i was going to do with all those chiobu pose videos from igstory. Here's ending off the year with 5 minutes of non stop, back to back twists and i know you will watch it even though you think it's a waste of time. Enjoy & see you in 2019!
