Three men on bus, early twenties. Wasted, hungover, could possibly be cute if they had a more expansive vocabulary.
"Lan Kwai Fong was so... fuckin' wow, man. I had to carry you home! You kept falling over..."
"I only remember passing out on the couch at your place."
Few seconds later... "Last night was fun." At which I had to stifle a laugh at.
At the bus driver who was talking loudly on his phone: "Bring it down a notch, man, will you? God, I can't fuckin' take this..." even though the bus driver is blissfully uncomprehending.
Another stifled laugh, though how they managed to get to the south side of HK from Lan Kwai when they were carrying each other remains a mystery.
When they got off, we cheered, but the stench of beer/sweat/cologne remained, gagging. At least I have more material. I can go back and edit some of my Dan/Alex story a bit.
I was dead tired from the sleepover last night. Strangely, we slept more than on an average sleepover night. We watched several chick flicks in a row ("Miss Congeniality", "Ten Things...", "Bring It On", "How To Steal A Million") while snacking on chips. Earlier we also did makeovers, and sang along to old school Mariah Carey.
Managed to get some shuteye on the bus on the way back from clarinet lessons this morning. I'm amazed I have a REM cycle after five minutes of falling asleep because I dreamt something, though I can't remember the dream. I woke up several times during the ride because my head kept hitting the seat in front of me, but aside from that I slept alright.
I was already particularly annoyed by random Delifrance employee who forgot what I ordered so I got my food much later than the lady behind me. My annoyance probably contributed to my sporadic narcolepsy on the bus, in addition to the sleepover, the talentless Twins on the bus radio, and person behind me whose mobile kept going off.
Thursday night was grade 12 grad night, which our band played for. Nury Vittachi made a speech, which I found hilarious, per usual of his speeches.
"My friends up at the US embassy say the US is going to split Iraq into three states: Unleaded, Super Unleaded, and diesel."
"The new Harry Potter has changed my life. I dropped it on my foot on Sunday and haven't been walking straight since. I'm going to sue JKR for a million dollars. I'm sure she won't notice. Next book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Carlsberg. And the one after that: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of the In-Laws."
"[during SARS], I got into an elevator with a woman who was fully protected, wearing latex gloves, a huge mask, and full body suit. Now, you know the elevator buttons are heat activated. She kept trying to press 26 with her latex gloves without success. She kept looking at me when I pressed 25 as if to ask me to push it for her. I looked away. When the elevator finally came to my floor, she looked at me again. Did she dare take off her latex gloves, especially after this dirty looking Sri Lankan man pressed the buttons? I did the most natural thing I could do... I pressed G."
I love Nury Vittachi's books.
Next time during a sleepover: Do not shower before sleeping! Showering cools the body temperature, making falling asleep easier. Must not shower if want to stay up.
