in the Loop

Came back on Fri afternoon, decided not to haul my desktop back with me, afterall having a 20-inch widescreen LCD does have its disadvantages. Not to mention the disassembling would be a total drag.

Luckily, a fren of mine had the genius to throw a party on Saturday night and that essentially provided ample opportunity to have a little fun.

It was probably about 8something and the party was in full swing. A number of us were mingling around the buffet table and some ppl I barely knew chatted me up. I obliged with a pleasent exchanged before excusing myself to get myself a drink.

While sipping off the polystyrene cup, I moved away from the table, indulging in the bubbly sweet and sour sensation of, well, Pepsi Twist. Turning around, my fren, Cheshire Cat had his back turned to me and was sharing a joke with his fren across the table. Since I was basically blocked in, I decided to sidestep him.

Just when I took a step left to the side, with approximately half my body remaining right behind him *I need you to imagine our positions now* he decided to burst out laughing and his hand involuntarily yet forcibly thrust backwards.

*Smack*

*Urrrrgggghhhhhh*

Immediately, he sprung round and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

With my hand trembling and the cup in serious danger of slipping out of my hand, I replied monotonously.

"You hit me......"

And he had the audacity to ask "Where?"

By then, the blood had already been drained from my face and my forehead was perspiring rather excessively.

"Where do you think?" still sporting the deer in the headlights look.

He took a split second before the reality washed over his face and immediately proceeded to give a rather awkward apology; if you consider "Oh!" to be an apology...

Well, if you haven't exactly figured it out yet, with the both of us being relatively equal in height, his arm extended slighty below my navel and due to our unfortunate position during the untimely event, the back of his hand attempted to crush my tender bits.

I took probably half a minute to regain my composure and I am happy ecstatic as well as relieved to report that "things" have since returned to normal. It would appear that no permanent damage was done and it continues to function admirably.

PS. On another note, I'd just like to quickly mention that I played monopoly that night until 3am and it was loads of fun even though I didn't win.
