Yesh I’m far from adolescence yet my best friends and I still entertain the idea of a slumberparty. In the past such parties were conducted in one of our homes, complete with cheap junk food and order-in-pizza. We would be watching movies all night long, riffle through L’s Keroppis, maybe consider some card games or just talk about girly stuff. Contrary to the term ’slumber’ party, we would only catch 40 winks here or there.
After some years, our concept of ’slumber’ party has somewhat changed. We’ve ‘upgraded’ to booking a room at some 4 star hotel, complete with luxurious bathtubs and a somewhat not too fantastic view of the Singapore Flyer, and though we still bought cheap junk food it came from a more ‘high class’ place like ‘Carrefour’ (haha) and one absolute necessity was alcohol. :) And true to the term of slumber party, we really had to sleep. We’re no longer that young and our faces no longer that supple and resilient to wrinkles. Sigh.
We had movies galore! Yay! And would have been better if our dear friend has somewhat become less blur than 8 years ago… -> she forgot to bring the remote for the DVD player. We still talk about girly stuff but more about bitches at work and men with bruised egos. -_- Yes only J is an exception so far.
Horror movies are all the rage at such parties… and it’s usually the one who’s most afraid who’s most keen on this genre. I have a picture of her mushroom head with spectable rims peering over the pillow she’s hugging but I think she’d most likely cut off all my electronic connections and phone lines if I post it up here :) Hehe… Instead of shrieking together when the ghost shows herself (Why are all ghosts female with long hair?) We begin to analyse the plot and make rather accurate predictions, meanwhile toasting our literature teacher Ms S. for imparting her skills of interpreting literature to us (so that we could use it to predict film endings hahaha).
In the morning, it’s no longer ‘let’s eat more junk food for breakfast’ but a common call for some ‘extra strong coffee’.
Such is the way we’ve all grown up, yet retained our strong friendships… Looking forward to the next time!
Film reviews to come later!
PS: To gals who’ve graduated in the same batch as me. ie. the centennial Kim Geks, the 10yr anniversary reunion is on 5th Dec this year.
