DISCLAIMER: I DON’T REALLY KNOW THE SOCIAL SCENE HERE. IT’S JUST MY VERSION OF THE EVENTS WHICH MAY DIFFER, AND YES I AM YELLING AS I WRITE THIS.
I am not much of a going out for coffee person, but I do go out and hangout with people, and we always end up going to eat submarines, visiting the art gallery and long walks near Artificial Beach. I guess it’s because I don’t really know where are the best places to hang out, or maybe just maybe there aren’t that many versatile things to do out in Male’.

I mean, for instance let’s list out the things I’d like to do out with my friends but haven’t done either because it’s not available here, or not the norm, or because I’m living under a rock most of the time hanging out with Partick.
- Making a lemonade stand with my sister and selling lemonade (My sisters are my friends too, since they give me chocolate. Anyone who gives me chocolate is instantly my friend!)
- Bowling without Justin Bieber and his crew ruining our night with their dancing.
- Playing foosball/billiard/dart in a place that also has coffee
- going out on a picnic out on a fine day (The kins where you dress up in cute boots and take a picnic basket with sandwiches, and eat them in a picnic mat in the grass where the wind blows and birds are chirping)
- go to a book reading where a local author reads his book and we get to meet intellectual people and writers and poets
- local concerts of bands that does not play heavy metal music
- going to a movie on the evening (with popcorn)
- go to a fair where you get to win a bear that says“I love you beary much” through the showing of ring tossing ability
- going to a charity fashion show
- shopping at flea markets/garage sales s
- have a food fight
- go karaoke-ing
- having water balloon fights on the road
- play laser tag
I realize some of this are extremely movie-ish (that’s where you get the inspiration, duh!) but wouldn’t it be fun? So please tell me which of these things are actually available here? Perhaps I just need to go out and do them!
For now, I go out and buy birthday cakes for no reason, and eat them. I’m seizing the moment.
Ohho! Great!!
ReplyDeleteAnd this new look to your blog feels more YOURS! Did I tell you that before? :P
No you didnt. ;) Thanks. I still feel it's very teenage-ish. haha
DeleteYou can put it as long as you FEEL like a teenager :)
DeleteOfcourse. I will ALWAYS feel like a teenager. haha
DeleteSadly, although I'd like to be doing the same, since I love bowling and carnivals/fairs and picnic and book readings...I cant be of much help since I think we're still waiting for all those things to come our way. But do let me know if you hear of anything like this happening! Great list btw, and I must admit I buy cupcakes just to jazz up the day...and then feel bad for stuffing my face, for bout three seconds.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all? heh
DeleteSure. I'll be definitely blogging about it. :)Cupcakes are kind of life savers for me too. I bake them to relieve stress. haha Thankfully I have the too slim syndrome so I can eat as many cupcakes as I can. ^^
Thanks
Nice list ...
ReplyDeleteLast year ... a few of my had garage/yard sales ...
I think a school had one too ... parents donated stuff to be sold at the event ...
So, I guess, if the timing is right ... you can do that and cross that one off the list ... :)
Thanks
Deleteyeah I only heard of it after it was over. I shall keep the lookout for any such events this year. :)
