things that make a day better

i always savour the memory of a good conversation with friends whom I havent met in a long while and as always, when you're having fun, time passes so fast :)

juz ytd i felt a bit pampered by some of e archery guys, whenever u're with ppl who help you do things or does things 4 u, it's always more enjoyable :p like utensils being taken for you, being sent to the bus stop and everything... basically when you're in the company of a gentleman, you appreciate the lack of them when they're not...
N i've the best gentleman by my side alr :p who went with me 2 make my new specs ytd nite! haha though it was a bit of a 'shop til he drops' kind of situation to quote levi's t-shirt... hmm actually i think my back was abt 2 break with all e hesitation of mine involved in deciding which frame 2 get... oh well, cant wait 4 my new specs! hope it'll fit my face! :)

Best of both worlds ;)

Juz ytd for my lunch i had seaweed shaker fries, mcwings, green tea and whipped potato!

haha yes the best of both worlds: Macs n KFC!

my bf is so sweet, he bought e whipped potato for me from kfc so that i can eat Macs n KFC @ e same time :p

and he stayed for an extra half an hour so that i can finish lunch though he had 2 go for tuition (though it was postponed to later on at night)

haha i juz have to say that i had the best of both worlds! :D

heh anyway abt ytd i juz found out so many things lyk how qt's attached,(i hope it's 2 some1 nice coz she's too much of a gem 2 b wasted on a normal guy:p) n how mh's a facebk stalker(she even noes how lance looks lyk!)..stuff lyk tt,so i've 2 b careful abt wat i put up on e net in general,heh seems so interesting all these things n though i was reluctant 2 meet up wif 'em previously coz of laziness i'm glad i did coz i realised tt i still hav friends dere:)

xmas n e unexpected changes it brought into my life

starting from christmas eve, 15 ppl msged me merry xmas! whether it's juz a simple 'merry xmas' text or a more complicated one wif snowmen n xmas trees, i'm still really grateful for them... but i regret that i didnt reply most of 'em.. was a bit bz on xmas dae.. they were mainly from ntu ppl though dere were some which came from old friends, some of whom i havent been in touch for a while.. they're so sweet :) wonder how i can thank them for rmbering me..

Anyway.. had e ntu archery xmas party @ settlers cafe in holland v last tue... unexpectedly fun. It wasnt bad on the whole.. even got the biggest gift xchange prezzie.. a penguin water dispenser from action city! haha quite lucky for me :)

Hmmm then on thurs, tried 2 shoot in e morn but it started pouring once i reached e field so obviously no chance 2 train.. haiz, i really wanted 2 shoot coz been working n missing trngs.. oh well, guess it juz means i'm not fated 2 shoot that dae.. but managed 2 borrow xiangyuan's bow! haha yay.. but 34pounds leh.. i'm gonna hav a hard time pulling it next trng..
Since cant train, went 2 shop 4 groceries wif lance, yonghwa n karen for cooking dinner in hall that evening... haha quite fun the whole cooking process.. though sometimes it got a bit boring while waiting for the fd 2 b cooked.. but anyway e fd was quite gd.. n e cheesecake that was dessert is seriously one of e best i've eaten ever! hmm but i couldnt stay out too late so only got 2 eat 1 slice of cake n play 2 rounds of uno spin! haha yonghwa seriously got quite a number of boardgames in his room.. quite an interesting experience that dae :)

Sunday! mEt up wif my Nj Archery team! though 2 persons backed out in e end, namely xiangyuan n wendy (sprained ankle again) but most of e rest turned up! hmm but hav 2 find something else 2 do next gathering.. mebbe go boardgames cafe, else it's seriously juz walk ard n stone since they're not v pro-active in striking up conversations.. most of e time it was fred n benghui talking! me being sick tried my best alr.. (been sick since wed..) 9 of us dere that dae, rach being late (as usual) by 1.5hrs -.- Anyway, weide fred benghui fangjian colin junguang louis rach n me make up e 9 persons. so glad that a lot of 'em made e effort 2 turn up.. nxt time will b a better gathering! else ppl might start refusing 2 turn up :( hmm i turned up pretty early that dae, b4 the 1st meeting time of 4pm so i managed 2 drag weide n fred ard 2 help me buy xmas prezzies! haha they gave me lots of suggestions but none were gd enuff 4 me :P not creative enuff @ least.. but they helped :D v grateful 2 'em 4 that.)

Monday was Xmas Eve! Went bowling n played mahjong wif my family.. was more of a family dae which is gd.. coz i've been gg out too much n been spending too little time wif my family. bowling i was e 2nd lousiest in e family.. winning that place only coz my youngest sis obviously is too young 2 b able 2 play properly -.- sigh, it's unfair when ur other 2 sisters r either in bowling club or was in bowling team. Still. Seems lyk i need 2 brush up on my bowling skills!

Tuesday.. Xmas dae! early in e morn received a super heavy prezzie... e box was filled wif chocolate! but i having a bad cough now..guess e chocolate will hav 2 wait a while.. wait until i get better.. anyway, went 4 kay's xmas party or rather it's actually juz her church's xmas service which she helped 2 organise @ her place so yah. (It's a family church) She forced me 2 go. Humph. It's lyk a family thing!! Still make me go! I'm so not family despite her insisting that i'm in her mg family
-.-
Shucks, totally didnt noe any1 else dere cept from lance n kay n perhaps esther whom i dun really noe in e 1st place.. (n mebbe kay's parents whom i also dun really noe in e 1st place)felt so awkward la! Humph. Mebbe it's juz my imagination but felt as if all her cousins were wondering abt my presence. All her fault. Humph. Next time shall ignore her. Urgh.. i shall make an effort 2 avoid all sort of xmas church services from now on. Though this wasnt that bad.. quite ok, made me kinda miss mg's chapel services.. much better than city harvest's service that i went 4 last yr.. Nv ever will i attend another such service under city harvest. A super bad experience. No other way 2 describe it. Urgh.
hmm but anyway managed 2 get out after lunch n walk ard her condo a bit which is ALSO her suggestion -.- n also went up 2 her place 2 visit le le n an an.. her 2 little doggies which seem 2 hav been ard for v long.. n e male one (forgot who is who) kept bullying e female one! Tsk. Hmmm then went out after that.. headed over 2 esplanade's roof terrace b4 n after dinner.. nite view supposedly better but was pretty crowded thx 2 it being a public hol. Reached home late again..11 plus.. so much 4 spending e rest of xmas @ home.. i was wrong abt that.

Anyway, 2dae! was feeling v insecure this morn.. silly me.. was on the brink of being super depressed again i guess.. but lucky me.. got a phone call which changed my mood..
anyway supposed 2 b having a p6 dinner @ ms clarity's cafe (Havent been dere in a while), venue suggestion courtesy of urs truly, hmm i hardly rmber anything abt that class.. oh well, doesnt hurt meeting up wif other mg girls whom i c ard mg sec sch anyway.. hope it'll b fun.. i so dun lyk awkward situations.. those r so not fun. N well, obviously i'm supposed 2 b working but i've finished my work for the dae.. at lyk 3pm so used 1.5 hrs 2 write all these down since i've 2 pretend 2 do work anyway.. coz my colleague not here 2 give me more work.. e office is 1/2 empty since most ppl took leave 2dae.. it's only 430pm -.- despite me dragging e work n everything i still got so much time left.. humph gotta find stuff 2 do.. n singhealth went 2 block all those web messengers lyk meebo n ebuddy n even youtube! facebk n friendster also -.- so i'm left wif extremely limited options 2 entertain myself for the remaining 1 hr..

recent msn nick: cheesecake! :D

Today's coincidences

Today is really a interesting day. Met steph from sec4a1 whom i havent seen in >2 yrs. Met her on the train, she was boarding at buona vista n i was in the same carriage... haha @ first i thought she couldnt recognise me.. i was lyk, hey steph, do u recognise me? She nodded lol, coz we were separated by 1 person in the train so yah, a bit weird to talk as if the person blocking us wasnt dere. But we got 2 chat a little bit, found out she's gg nus econ.. haha she did look lyk an econ kind of person... She was heading 2 Marsiling which was quite far...

Anyway, upon disembarking from the train... as i was walking to the barrier,i saw cheryl!From 4a2 n also nj 05s17..haha she was gg 2 the ticketing office to get refund for her card... but yah interesting! Saw 2 ppl i noe with a min of each other.. haha coincidence.. both mg ppl.. n i was juz thinking (after meeting steph) that it'll b great 2 go back 2 sch n c every1 we noe again... b4 we go out into the real world n really start working.. when we'll most prob lose contact w/o much chance of doing much abt it.. In uni we can still more or less c some familiar faces if not all n maintain the relationships. I'll b satisfied, to c some old friends again :)

Little surprises in life~

wed, 18 apr: Turns out that life indeed has got little surprises in store for us, just round the corner.. wed, a colleague (perm staff) was treating every1 2 donuts she bought from some shop in vivo.. n juz when i was thinking abt donuts these days too.. hahaz.. rather ok.. but i feel the bakery near my home sells better donuts.. the chocolate-flavoured ones at any rate. But hey, who would reject free donuts! ;)

thurs, 19 apr: Todae, thurs was even better... at least at the end of the day.. ended work at 6pm instead of 530pm coz i wanted 2 finish up some work b4 leaving.. and seemed 2 b leaving on the dot at 530pm the previous 2 daes.. b4 all the perm staff..so felt quite bad.. hence decided 2 stay longer todae.. Anyway, went downstairs 2 wait 4 my company home.. n after walking 1 round in the lobby/1st floor.. i decided 2 take a seat.. n seated myself at the seats area beside the security desk (Kinda flopped down.. nvm)... N was surprised when the girl seated dere said hey:)... turns out tt she's my friend.. ex-temp staff at snec, she came back 2 visit us..surprise us 2 b exact! hahaz! i saw a person sitting dere but i didnt recognise her... coz she cut her hair.. from long hair to shoulder-length... saw her on mon but ya.. still not used 2 it yet..anyway i was really shocked 2 c her dere.. then she said she brought donuts.. from Donut Factory! Apparently she queued for 2.5 hrs!! Since 12noon! then she went home n cut it into neat little pieces b4 putting it in a tupperwear n coming down 2 let us eat!! How sweet can she get?! She's juz wonderful :D And the donuts were nice!! Totally worth its reputation! hahaz, somehow i got 2 taste the donuts despite thinking tt i might not hav the chance anytime soon.. little surprises in life indeed.. hmm but us temp staffs (used 2 meet up after work b4 heading down 2 e mrt station together) no longer meet up after work 2 go home together.. so her coming here meaning 2 surprise every1.. turns out tt there's only the 2 of us down dere 2 b surprised.. but thankfully, another 2 of our friends were still working upstairs coz i called 2 check n said ok so we'll go 1st.. haha yupz, then i put down the phone n said let's go up! ;) hehe.. so we did.. n surprised them wif e donuts! there was rather a lot so there was more than enuff 2 go ard.. :)

Hmmm was told sometime ago by my sis on how a neighbour of mine.. some1 i havent seen in close to 10yrs despite him living opp me(oops.. ;]), he apparently saw my youngest sis at our void deck one day after sch n came upstairs 2 tell my dad tt she was downstairs(coz my maid forgot 2 fetch her..) despite him being on his way out.. meaning he was downstairs then he came up specially 2 tell my dad b4 gg off for wherever he was headed b4 he saw my sis downstairs.. hmmm my dad totally couldnt recognise him n thought he was some friend of mine looking 4 me or smthg Lol.. well i guess he's a friend.. an old friend whom i havent talked 2 in ages..anyway, the thing is he ran the risk of being wrong abt my sis being forgotten downstairs.. as in he assumed tt my sis wasnt supposed 2 b down dere alone.. lol, true but anyway.. hard 2 explain, juz find tt he's not bad at all.. saw him juz last sun when i went out wif my family.. apparently my dad saw him gg out wif his mum but haha, we saw each other at chinatown! Such coincidence tt we were all gg out n headed 2 e same place n actually meeting each other dere! Hahaz... totally cool 2 me.. but the thing was tt i really really couldnt recognise him at all.. he's a far cry from his kindergarten years... he used 2 b real skinny, now he's not, though he still isnt v tall ;) but ya, he only looks a bit lyk the guy i used 2 noe 10 yrs ago.. or was it 13yrs? haha.. hardly look lyk at all. Anyway am real grateful to him for tt.. kinda wish tt we're at least still friends, on talking terms, find it a pity 2 not hav such a nice person as a friend, hmmm we'll c how things go in e future.

Was thinking back 2 archery stuff a while back n rmbered once, during the sembawang (small-scale) comp, while we were shooting, there was this scene of small leaves drifting off the trees in the wind in the distance while some of my team-mates n i stood dere watching, it was a scene tt u cant really capture on camera.. partly coz we didnt hav a cam at tt time.. anyway,.. it's better in memory than on film.. at least wif an average cam.. anyway ya, that was a beautiful picture, witnessed wif wonderful friends.. ah, such simple pleasures of life.. i'll forever b grateful for.
