Alright, here's everything you need to know about the BBQ.
This is what I'm getting from www.bbqwholesale.com:
100 sticks of chicken satay
20 chicken chops
20 stingrays
And this is what my mum has got already:
2 bottles of Sprite Ice (someone get vodka)
30 cans of Coke
4 6-packs of packet drinks
2 bottles of syrup (one's grape and the other's lemon tea)
Sausages
Chipolatas
Chicken Curry
1 Pork Rib
2 packs of chicken wings
All the paper plates and other rubbish
Charcoal
Just bring 5 bucks alright guys? If you don't, I'll have to tear your underwear and then smear butter along your asscrack.
Someone has to get the alcohol, just let me know who's interested. And the ice as well. Petrol kiosks are outside, can get them on the way in.
Please confirm with me ASAP if you can make it on friday so I can order less or something. And bring extra clothing okay? Swimming or not, you're probably going to get wet. I'll leave the option to stayover at my place open to those who don't mind having to sleep on the floor.
Okay, my parents won't be home till LATE, dad's got some ranger course on, mum's got a dinner to attend. We'll have to lower the volume on our thing after 10 so that no one can complain. Pool's lights and pump get turned off after 10, but the security guard told me that it's fine to go swimming at that time, he'll close an eye for me as long as we don't make too much noise.
Here's the address to my place:
SOMEONE REALLY SMART SAID NOT TO PUT IT ONLINE SO I WON'T.
As for how to get there, well, this is going to hard on you guys.
Okay, take the train down to Tanah Merah and then alight and cross the road via the underpass to take bus no. 2. You'll know when you're reaching when you see the Japanese school, you can't miss it. It says "The Japanese School" on the gate. One stop after you should see the condo, and another stop later you'll see a Esso kiosk.
From there turn into Mariam Walk/Drive/Lane, and walk all the way down till you see the main gate to Edelweiss Park. You can't miss that either, it says "Edelweiss Park Condominium" on this wall thing. There's a temple opposite and a playground before that. If you can't seem to find those, just take a cab.
You guys can come real early if you want to, and bring 50 cent coins if you want to play Pool, cos that's how much one game costs.
Bring 5 bucks and extra clothing too.
Give me SMS confirmations on your attendance yeah?
Soon.
Thanks people, I really hope to see all of you there.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
I think the security guards here are really really nice people to talk to. And I kinda pity them, seeing as how they'll have to watch over five hundred and seventy (yes, I spelt this out for emphasis) units come next year. There are only a hundred occupied right now, and managing the clubhouse alone is tough shit already. I'd really hate to them one of them next year.
Anywhos, I had a really good chat with one particular security guard two days back. I think we started talking when he told me that he didn't think my mum would be coming down to the gym because her chinese drama serial was starting. I know how wierd that sounds. Then I asked him if he had dinner, just the usual polite banter and such, and then we got into a real conversation.
What is a real conversation? Like how many people can actually find time to have one with someone you've only known for what? Five minutes? Five minutes, all you know about someone is how good their first impression was on you, no bias of character, no knowledge of all the dark, shameful deeds that you've swept under your rug.
It was a really good conversation. Damn, I can't stop typing conservation, even though PW is long over.
We talked about how to lose weight. Wow. Then we talked about how to get my parents to cut some slack on the chain wrapped around my neck. Then we talked about life in general. He was telling me about everything that I would eventually face in life, the good, the bad, and the ugly, hence the title for this post. Everything I would face next year for the As, everything I would face in the army, everything I would face in Uni and beyond.
He was telling me to treat life like a chess game, to make every move with consideration of what came before, what's going to come, and another two more steps ahead. He also quoted Shakespeare ("All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."), and told me that we each had our own roles to play in life.
He told me know people would get you to do things you already know are bad for you, like smoking and drugs, how they'd say that you were a coward and many other things. He said that heroes always die first, so they can be their own heroes. He told me how strong I had to be mentally to resist all these things, to not be affected by them.
He said that life goes on no matter what happens, and we should all just do our best to accept it and to roll with the punches. He told me that he liked to make friends from all age groups, because like in making curry, you needed both fresh and old ingredients.
I felt really bummed when I had to leave, but legs were killing me after the half and hour on the elliptical.
I'm going to keep this post here for a while, because I think it means a lot. Goes to show how much you can learn from a security guard eh?
