today is a salad bowl. lots of various emotions jumbled up in one huge bowl to give an incredibly interesting result.

ivan brought xuan, nana, ernie and i to safra yishun. we spent almost the whole day there, (ok, it was just 6 hours from 11.15 to 5.15 actually). there was tennis, badminton, bowling, eating, swimming, arcade-ing. tennis and badminton were courtesy of nana who brought her 4 rackets along, thanks nana! ivan and her are pretty good at tennis, swift long-distance serves, compared to that of xuan's and mine haha. but we all had a good time yay! thanks ivan!

met missy for dinner, she bought me a birthday prezzie, thanks missy! i din expect her to gif me anything at all, but it was real sweet of her to remember....we had ma lan la mian at this building near chinatown mrt, after that we walked around abit for her to get a present for her bf. its been 11 months since i knew missy on my first day at EY. i can still remember vividly the settings: she was sitting at the table directly facing the pantry of the tax dept on the 26th floor. pann brought us th new interns there to intro missy to us (and vice versa), when i moved to sit behind denise, missy followed and we sat in the same row. i'm so glad she moved over, if not we might not haf had the opportunity to develop a friendship like this :)

on the way home i was listening to my mp3. ok its not mine, it was my bro's birthday present from my dad, but he was told to share it haha... somehow the songs that played had connections, directly and indirectly, with certain events, and hence, a certain somebody. that got me thinking back to how everything started, how we met, the fun we had, the times when we were so close, the times when we were so far, the times of conflict, the times of anti-______ness, the lectures and tuts we shared, the sms-es between us, the 'cold war' and post cold war, and how now we're meeting up and hopefully all there would be more fun times ahead! flashbulb memories? i think so. 5 months may not haf been v long ago, or it may haf been depending on what i'm talking about next, but some details just dun decay over time, as yet at least.

was talking to junxian on sunday. he said that yew mun was suggesting dinner on tuesday. dunno why but my reply to him appeared very shocked. a-lee was wondering why i seemed so shocked. i guess its cos of the sudden (or maybe not so sudden) change in attitude and all, of course its a change for the better to be nicer now. but think mostly its cos since the beginning of the sem, our meeting-up-s with sha jx ym were organised by sha and i 90% of the time, so to haf him actually suggest meeting up and organising something is abit well, odd. nvm, at least sha and i are not the onli ones putting in effort to keep this friendship knitted. yay! in the afternoon, sha msged me. she was suggesting dinner tmr with ym and a-lee. i thought it was her idea. apparrently not. so the whole picture is clear now. i thought ym wanted dinner just for us 4 to meet up after the exams, but no, he suggested dinner cos of my bday :) i'm surprised somehow, that he remembers my bday, albeit the wrong date (he thot it's the 10th), but glad anyhow that he did. he was talking to sha last week, again, its surprise at some of the things he noticed, cos i thot i was the onli one who noticed the changes in colour. apparently not. they talked about my *ahem* black faces...apparently, there were 2 incidents when that happened and erm, he didn't know wat to do or something like that...i can't remember that already but his rxn sure is unexpected.

sha called first then bing. paul msged first then ernie, then philifer then jinfu then yewmun then wei ting, there's still some more but i wun type it here...there's so much more i wanna write tonight but i'll leave that for tmr, my bro needs the com.
