It was just..
Woke up today morning at around 6.30, i think i'm too used to waking up early, but not this early. Usually wake up at around 7 to be JUST on time for school. haha.
Yep. And then the rest i couldn't remember.
Yesterday was Ivan's birthday surprise party-chalet. Eugene, Sze Jun and I were there with the rest of his relatives and friends at Armanda Country Club. It's quite a nice place to be honest. But to think that candy actually did that for ivan. It's so sweet of his gf to organise such a massive thing for him. haha. not that i'm being envy, but i think these kind of ppl are hard to come by these days. anyways, i felt ivan was being somehow different. like.. he's not the kind of person he is in school. i guess everyone's got their side to share. Seems more quiet i suppose. His friends were all these together, but the three of us just sat at one corner eating and chatting away. (Oh yea, i forgot to mention about the cat which was so attention-seeking. haha. it was circling us several times before it went to find other human beings to play with. I think it was looking for someone to bring it home or smth.) Ivan kept asking us to go over with his friends, but I felt it was pointless. I'm not gonna know them well enough anyway. Not that I really need to or have to. Besides, the girls there were all attached =X and they weren't attractive to me in the first place.
I kind of pitied Ivan and Candy's parents. Like they were the ones who organised everything for us, but it had to be them helping us cook. Ivan didn't get to eat much. He claimed that he had eaten before we came, guess he's just being polite or smth. And he's like awkward speaking chinese. ha.
Eugene and sj were in a rush to go home. Think they cant stay out too long. Or they didn't want to. What's more, we felt so awkward with his friends/ relatives. Sj's mum came to fetch him, and eugene, home. The four of us had quite a chat while walking down to the bus stop. Then ivan sent me off at the entrance of downtown east. I can't really recall the topics we talked about, but we did talk non-chalantly before he sent me off. Some thoughts went through my mind, but I couldn't really express myself. Just hope that the 4 of us can stay together after we graduate. I think we're quite good friends, really.
Earlier, yong jie had to call of his plans to proceed to the chalet with us. He said he had to attend some funeral or something. I just hope things remain fine as we proceed into the 7th lunar month. Jianyao actually thought about coming with us to the chalet after he decided to pon co. I think he's quite similar to me - he hates his cca practices too. I used to look forward to it, but the more I go, the more i got sick of it =/ So he, along with sj and i, went to white sands and tried the thai food at the 2nd floor. It's the first time I've been there since they've renovated. I'd say their food is quite nice, and affordable. Maybe next time we could contemplate having our outing meals together over there. At least it's much better than fast food.
We went to buy ivan's gift after that - a white nike shirt with some red stripes on it - kinda resembling that of liverpool's away jersey, just that it's adidas. ha. We were rather choosy over his gift and spent like an hour deciding his gift, where I could have better spent that hour practising my piano piece or smth. Feelin' kinda guilty that i havent been touching my piano for 2 weeks or so. Needa buck up or I'd be lagging behind. Lots.
After that they came over to my place to wrap up the present, and we had a little chat too. Introduced them a few songs which i was glad sj liked. Borrowed my album after that. Shan't go into the details, but I feel that i've been neglecting some ppl lately. Maybe i should change the way i see things.
Went piano after that and then to meet sj and waited for eugene at white sands. Yea he was late, and so was ivan. I'm glad we were later than we were supposed to be or else we'd be sticking around with strangers for an even longer spell. lols.
Yea. that was all about the chalet. I think chalet loses its purpose if you're not going with a bunch of fun-loving people coz that'll spoil the mood. chalet's suppose to be a place people do crazy stuff together, isn't it? apart from just eating. ha.

Back to saturday.
After reading the papers and times, I couldn't bear the energy draining anymore. So went back for about 3 hours sleep. Woke up, did some chores before heading to City hall to meet yu chuan. I was late, again. and I'm sorry that i made you wait 'aite! 30 mins! i'll rmbr that. Well at least it'l better than the other time i made jm wait for the whole day outside my house =X
We went to st andrew's cathedral first. it's really a very nice church to go to, but i'm not a christian, but it's still a nice place to visit. i think i may wanna go there alone another time. it's so serene and peaceful there. i like that kinda environment.
hmm. then we went to peninsula to check out some guitar stuff. I realise there's more things over there than at swee lee. think i shall check that place out thoroughly instead of limiting my options to just swee lee. hmm. The prices there are much cheaper too. I need a tuner and a proper capo! but first my piano! hmm.
We went for a 'big walk' after that, walking around aimlessly and losing our way, before going all the way back to marina square to have dinner at subway! woot. i JUST love their cookies. and the first time i've tried their white chips cookie. it's nice.. and fattening too! nvm la. i'll play more soccer.
Never knew somethings that turned out the way it was. If i had JUST stayed in sa, maybe i'd be closer to some of them.. But i guess, things have become the way it is, I JUST gotta make do with what i've got.. Perhaps this teacher's day, instead of going back tms, which I dun feel any connection (neither can I relate to it) anymore, i should go find someone whom i think she's forgotten. But i wanna let her know that I've not forgotten her, and i've really taken her words to heart and followed to it closely. Just a pity to have lost her contacts. I wonder how she's doing. Hope to be able to see her back in school on teacher's day.
Ha. Nvm abt that. After dinner we were actually heading for the mrt, then a passer-by came to us asking for directions to marina bay, you know, that floating platform. He said he was going there to view the fireworks..
Hmm? Fireworks? We were taken by surprise coz we didnt know there was fireworks on display today. After giving him directions to marina bay, we took the short route (yes, we told him to walk that longer route by accident =/ ) to marina bay. Hell there were loads of ppl sitting at the stairways leading to the esplanade. we wanted to find some deserted spot where there were fewer ppl, but it was always gonna be difficult. We managed somehow to squeeze thru to somewhere near the Singapore Flyer. It wasn't exactly deserted, beside the river there were all people sitting down at the rocks waiting for the fireworks. We sat down and did some stupid stff. We even took pictures together! Lol. Like a gay couple seriously. I'd upload pictures once my com's fixed. ha.
It was about 9, then yu chuan wanted to go check out the ritz carlton hotel. It was my second time there. The urgent yc went toilet to release his bladder at once, then we rushed outside to take snapshots of the fireworks (quite childish, I know, but that's the way we are, ha). Spend some time there before we noticed a stylo car! I can't rmbr the name of the car brand, but it was hell style! I'd upload once I get them.
So much for taking all the cameo shots. We had to squeeze to the mrt with millions of other ppl. We took like 20 mins to get the mrt, bypassing the place where our first og outing was held! I think yc wants to organise an og reunion next yr or smth. I hope it'll work out fine. =D
We parted ways at the mrt station, guess all good things have to come to an end. Time flies, especially when u're enjoying it. And i was really glad to have meet him too! And, although i have the cd already, thanks nonetheless for the effort. But rmbr, support originality! Dun download or buy pirated / china cds! Support the taiwan music industry! Think about how you'd feel if u were in their shoes. Yea. That was about it.
I just hope to keep some of these souls implanted in my brain for as long as possible. And for the ever-so-far-out-there-but-we'll-remember-you jing, shine on. take care ok!
And that was.. just another saturday.. Well spent.. But not very productive, on the notion that I've got so many hw to do! WR! Damn. I think sj's come running after me for my part =X
p.s. jing i'm still waiting for your letter..! With the stamp of course, I want canadian stamps. ha.
Off to soccer in another 4 hours!
