Today I undertook a rather adventurous escapade, in tune with the festive havoc, and together with two other restless souls (ex-kayaking pals of mine), we decided to catch the movie "Fighter in the Wind".

After spending a good 20 bucks each travelling from Cineleisure to Shaw House to Shaw Towers, we concluded sheepishly that the show was not showing. As 3 traumatised souls hopped onto another cabby (not even knowing why), my good friend with goldfish eyes decided it would be fun to try to raid the house of one of my other friends who claims to own a DVD version of the "Fighter in the Wind". Maybe he was inspired by his 2 1/2 years in commandos and seem to think raiding a guys house on the second day of CNY would somehow improve his tactical proficiency.

Anyways, we cabbed to Boon Lay (Bloody hell that was damn freakin far lor), and tried to propose to my poor victim friend the following conditions:

1) Bring down the DVD and we'll fuck off

or

2) Bring down some mandarin oranges cos we didn't bring any. During CNY, international law states that all married adults who are threatened by anyone holding 2 mandarin oranges are obliged to surrender a red packet of cash or kind.

The result was neither

My friend came down and invited us up, even though we were not armed with mandarin oranges. He even allowed us to raid his house of food and drinks, and while we still didn't have any oranges, his parents still surrendered the red packets...

The 3 terrorists were terrorised by such an act of kindness they all opted to burn in hell for 2 seconds each, haha.

Morals of the story-

1) Never jio everyone out to a movie that ain't showing. You'll look like a cock and your friends will hate you for making them waste time and money. Bad friends might even ask for a refund.

2) Don't join commandos as they feed you with bad terrorist ideas, which you might use against good friends of yours.

3) Don't stay in Boon Lay, everyone who has to cab there will have to pay a tonne so nobody will visit you unless they want to rob you. Then again, it's not worth robbing a guy in Boon Lay cos the trip there would probably cost more than you can recuperate.

4) Always go out with a few mandarin oranges during CNY.
