the best weekend i can remember in recent history...



i seriously cannot recall a weekend that has left me in as high spirits as this in a long, long while. saturday kickstarted things well, having read at Mass in the evening (though i made one little error...) after having a haircut, i went back home to witness united smack poor portsmouth senseless in a 3-0 hiding at old trafford for sir alex ferguson's 20th anniversary in charge at the united helm. an emphatic penalty from louis saha, an absolute missile of a free kick from cristiano ronaldo and a very precise and assured header from nemanja vidic nabbed the points for united, with a very reassuring and convincing performance from the rest of the united first xi. simply breathtaking and stunning.

this led to a really super sunday, which started out with a pretty good basketball game in the morning with the guys. was clowning around a bit, but i think had some decent moments. it was a great workout to boot. i won't forget myself dribbling past everyone whilst delivering commentary when challenged to by jem. absolutely hillarious.

the afternoon was highlighted by a visit to the singapore biennale exhibit at city hall with sarah. it was a very thought-provoking experience, with lots of questions and opinions springing forth from it, including one multimedia piece that reflected upon the last thoughts of a suicide bomber, which i wish to expound upon and explore in due time. a really enriching and fascinating four hours spent that has left me wanting more.

we headed over to chap's place for dinner because some relatives from china and canada were over. getting to see all the little cousins again was fun, but i decided to curb my socialising by lounging for a good period of time in my uncle's massage chair with red wine in hand as pictured above. relaxation and maximum shiokness baby!

and on the subject of alcohol, there was plenty in abundance. had a champagne to go with my red wine. and chocolate liquer!... mmmmm... simply delightful.

to wrap everything up, witnessing arsenal and chelsea both lose in london derbies just made everything all the more sweeter. it's once in a blue moon that chelski lose, and just seeing my team's most hated rival lose just added the finishing touches to a fantastic weekend. more importantly, united are now 3 points clear at the premiership summit, which sets us up with some room for the end-of-the-month clash with chelski at old trafford just nicely.

thanks to everyone who made it happen... it sure was a fantabulous weekend that'll remain in memory for a good while to come. ^_^
