2 is a freaky number

This was a particular day last month, when Ai Ting phoned. Depressed and anxious, symptoms of homesickness were apparent. Despite being late at night, my company was expressly required.

So anyway, she seemed alright after a few hours of talk but just to be on the safe side, i invited her over to stay.

Stepped into the house around midnight, opened the door and this was what i saw :

















A room full of people!

Lol, you might be wondering and I've failed to mention, this happened on the 8th of Oct 2008- the day when I was officially dragged outta my young youthful teenage years into the dark, eerie, supposedly mature world of the Big Two O *screamsss*
