When You're Forced Out Of Bed On An Early Saturday Morning For Latte

early saturday morning, i was still wandering far away in slumberland, hoping for the first time after a long time, to be able to wake up at mid-day.

but no... kai sieng had to call me, here goes the conversation:

*my mobile, on the work desk, next to my bed, rang incessantly and i picked it up*

me: bleddy hell... who's calling me this early? *looking at the screen for caller I.D.* oh... kai sieng *pressed 'accept call' button* hullo kai sieng... yeah whassup... *yawns*

-end of teleconversation-

we had latte at haagen dazs in holland village, and conversation ensued. a part of the conversation went like this:

kai sieng: so... what happened to you lat night?

me: what do you mean 'what happened last night'?

kai sieng: i mean why did you leave alex's party so early when i had just arrived?

me: because... you were late? you came at 11pm and i was there since 8pm... and i told you i had to go for C.Y.'s birthday supper didn't i?

kai sieng: yeah i know i was late... like hellooo... i was fashionably late you know

me: (rummaging thru' my head... hell i don't know how to respond to that) yeah you were so totally fashionably late... it made calvin klein looked way too early
