The long weekend

Long time since I posted like this! 'cos this time I actually had a packed enough weekend!

Friday
Went for the gathering that many managers turned up for. It was.. interesting. Nothing I haven’t seen before, except for the great location. It was a private function KTV room inside the Chevrons at Jurong East. Nice room I tell you.

No photo that I can put up safely so too bad.

Reached at 7pm, landed up going back only past midnight.

Saturday
I had class again. 10am – 5pm. Argh.

I had lousy canteen food again at SIM.

But Dearie sent me home after class. Which was also after his class. He had spent half the money I gave him for his birthday the night before - on a riding jacket! I haven’t seen it yet but I can’t wait to. I also learnt that the other half of the money will be depleting VERY soon. On his food and petrol. Blech.

Anyway, we went back to be greeted by a very cheeky Ki who much preferred to play with Uncle than me. When Dearie and I left the house for Marina Square, Ki was preparing to go shopping with my parents. Probably to buy yet another new toy.

Marina Square was picked because Dearie had a craving for oysters after seeing them on TV. I can’t stand those clammed stuff. I found out that Fins at Marina Square has fresh oysters so yeah, we had an early dinner there. I had soft shell crab pasta covered in chilli crab sauce. Nice leh.

We went to find Ah Chang at his shop upstairs. He kept asking me to buy jeans from FangFang’s shop a couple of shops away. I did go and take a look but…. Sorry ah…. Not I don’t want to buy… is I didn’t see anything that suit me leh….

I dragged Dearie around looking at little stuff. Went into the more expensive shops to see what copycats I should look for in my usual haunts that sell the almost-same-thing at a decimal space lesser.

I was really hoping to eat ice-cream and waffles but Dearie’s tummy wasn’t feeling too good after. Plus, we couldn’t find any waffles. 2 calls came in for Dearie – 1 to go Bedok 85, and another to go Bugis (which later changed to VivoCity).

In the end, we picked VivoCity where Patrick and his friends were. But we didn’t get to go into VivoCity (so no ice cream again). The plan was to go Marina South and wait for a few more people, then go rounding.

(Rounding means go around Singapore.)

In the end, we spent about 1-2 hrs waiting around in Marina South’s arcade (which wasn’t too bad), and I got to chat with the girls that were there (they’re soooo young…). Their helmets all crystallised so much nicer than mine. Heehee!

We finally left for Lavender’s Pig Organ’s Soup place. Food wasn’t too bad. The plan was to go rounding after supper – but one of the guy’s bike couldn’t get started. They tried to push start it but it didn’t work either. He was furious. Poor thing. No one wanted that to happen.

So no rounding for me. It was to be my first trip!

Went back home with Dearie in the end. We were exhausted. I can’t remember how early in the morning it already was.

Did I mention it was also officially our 5th year together on that day? :O)

Sunday
It was a late start for us. Only got out of bed at 2pm. Oops.

Flute practice didn’t materialise. Sigh. The other girl couldn’t make it so we can only plan one another weekend. Too bad.

The plan was to go Bugis and look for waffles and ice cream, and for Dearie to look for a CD. Just when I was about to get ready, it had to pour.

We were hungry, so MacDonalds it was for us. By the time the rain ended, we were too lazy to move. Having had our fill, and in front of the TV watching all sorts of crap, we had become lumps.

His much awaited MotoGP was due to start at 7:30pm. We caught the 250cc race before that first. There was a call asking him to go over to one of the biker’s place to watch. In the end, the rest had backed out so Dearie wasn’t keen on going over. We landed up stuck to the sofa all through the race, till CSI Las Vegas and New York started – and ended. Which means 11pm. Wow.

The race was good. No adverts in between like F1. It was more exciting because they were very close to each other and sometimes bumped to each other too. And by bumping not all of them will fall. That is very amazing. Even if they did fall, they simply stood up and walked off easily.

Interesting on the whole. I’d watch it again if I remembered. But… each race only takes place once a month. What a huge gap in between.

After all that TV, Dearie got a call for supper at nearby Bukit Timah. So off we went! I got a Milozilla (is that what it’s called) and there was ice-cream in it!!! At last!!! Not exactly what I was hoping for but.. it had to do.

I got to meet his biking buddy with his gf, and another 2 bikers from his forum. Those 2 look older. Much older. So different from the night before when all the people were so much younger.

Monday
I tried to study at night but landed up face down in my book. I couldn’t take it and had to turn in right after that.

Tuesday
I woke up this morning knowing that a sore throat was coming. I’m starting to feel all heaty and irritated. I’m falling sick. Oh no…

This is on top of the fact that I’m supposed to sing this Friday at the company karaoke competition. I know that this year I wouldn’t have a chance to win (I’ve heard the rest. Trust me. I know where I stand.)

Still, I want to put up a good performance. Maybe I should just grab and MC and sleep in tomorrow. Tonight got class again. Shitty hell.

---------

I never seem to do very well in big groups. Like the past 2 days, I just never got around talking much or anything. Maybe because it’s the first time meeting them. Just like when I meet the ones I’ve met online. I just listen and wait for questions to be thrown at me before I open my mouth.

I’d like to be able to talk more? But I realise I only do that during one-on-one meetings with people whom I’m familiar with.

I need more to talk about than studies and work. I’ve got nothing left to say about them other than I absolutely cannot stand studying. I can’t wait to get my life back on track again. Then maybe I won’t be so quiet any more.

I'm still messing around with Who Lives Near You and Friendster. See who's door I can knock. And welcome all the knocks on mine.

Count down to my birthday.
Count down to the start my long study leave.
Count down to the start of my exams.
Count down to the end of my exams.

Count down to the start of my life again.
