There’s something about The New Blog Name & That Birthday Dinner

When I started this blog thingy a week or so back, I named it The New Adventures of Barneysaurus as a homage to The New Adventures of Bobbin by the utterly brilliant local freelance cartoonist Joycelyn Yik. I totally dig her works because the funny recollections of school, exams and crushes make me feel like a giggling schoolgirl all over again, except that I have ever been a giggling schoolgirl before of course. Heh heh.

In view of my proneness to suayness however, I have decided that The Misadventures of Barneysaurus will be a more apt title instead. So I changed it.

*Roars!*

. . . .

In another ten or so hours, Adrienne will fall officially under the ‘late twenties’ category. We had a good early celebration last night, though the presence of Missing Friend #01 (in the process of morphing into Dr Missing Friend #01 in down under), Missing Friend #02 (who promptly disappeared after her wedding), and Missing Friend #03 (who usually don’t reply your SMSes unless you are a very desirable female) were sorely missed.

But it’s ok, because all the Non-Missing Friends (#01 to #06, including Adrienne and Barney) were there. As usual, not everyone was on time, and we also spent a very long time deciding on where to eat. We eventually decided on Kenny Roger’s because it’s the year of the Rooster.

Miscellaneous lessons I learnt over dinner:


1) Safeguard your food. My friends showed how greedy they can be when they helped themselves to my mashed potatoes while I was busy SMSing.

2) Burger King discount coupons are not really ideal birthday presents.

3) Neither are Kenny Roger’s muffins, which we also tried to pass off as a birthday cake.

4) Try not to crack lame jokes when your friend is trying to swallow panadols. Especially if the said friend has a history of spurting water uncontrollably. Through the nose.


In short, we had great fun while doing pretty much about nothing, and only left after the staff cleared our table really noisily. I also suspect they turned off the aircon.

To Adrienne: Hope you had fun at that Nun Bar place after we left. You can collect your BK coupons and Barney VCD from me the next time we meet. Peace!
