Weekend Update

Had a very eventful weekend for this week.

Friday

Flew to New York, New York on last friday to meet up with secondary sch friend and 2 NPCC teacher officers for a dinner. I was the last inclusion for this gathering as i came down from work from the east side and it could be later if i didn't take taxi down. It's horrible taking taxi during peak hours from east to the west. :'(



Chit-chatted until the restaurant closed for the day. It's fun to mention of the old days and i was so full of envy of my past years. It could have been more fun if i am more extrovert than in the past, but nonetheless, my secondary school life was fun. Happy, Sad, scolding teachers and got scolded by teachers, etc.. and all the craps.

Unfortunately, there was no photos to show.

Went out to Holland Village after the gathering dinner. Selin drove me home to put down my laptop bag and drove me again to Gombak mrt. Thanks.

Had a cup of not-so-coffee coffee at The Coffee Club with MJ, SH, SR and WC. Went home via taxi again. Midnight and diesel surcharge. Thanks Singapore.

Saturday

Met up with my mother, Sun Tian, Lek Meng, and Raquel down to Sungei Buloh for a walk in the nature reserve. Woke up pretty early in the morning (and even earlier for the others) for this walk.

Paid just $3 for a bus transport from my house to Sungei Buloh, then to Sheng Siong Hypermarket at Woodlands Point and to just outside my house. With 2 small curry puffs and 2 bottles of 500 ml water. It's a refreshing idea to walk around in the nature reserve.... once in a while. haha

My bolster being hung out to air. Haha

Thanks Sun Tian for driving me all the way to my workplace instead of the arranged drop-off point to get my laptop adaptor. Maybe it's the bad weather condition that he volunteered to do so. Seeing the rainy weather approaching my workplace area. I rushed up to my office, after changing the pass and getting the key, to take my adaptor and then ran all the way to the bus stop. Thanks god. It started to rain as soon as i reached the bus stop.

Sunday

Slept up late in the morning until like 10.30 am. Had 4 pieces of pratas; 1 egg and 3 plains. Went to my uncle's house to visit my cousin's baby who was just born. And my status now has upgraded to 堂叔. Ok it means I had become older too la. Rushed to lot one for movie Money Not Enough 2 with clarence and mandy. A bit of touching story and it wasn't as funny as the previous series.

Walked around the new lot one with them and went home to watch the women table-tennis final competition. A silver medal, not too bad. Clap for them. But i think it was half-hearted play from the singapore side. But for the first time in my life, I saw the Singapore Flag flying. =)
