did some shopping on monday, not for myself though. sadly...dont even get me started on what i want to shop for...cos i think the list stretches quite a distance haha. but no!!!! i must resist the temptation, resist the coats and skirts and dresses in the display windows and on the shop hangers, resist the boots and whatnots. sigh.

Tuesday
wanted to lunch at Billy Bombers at the Cathay with the boy, if not for the wet weather that ruined everything...boo! swensens wasn't too bad either...but why does it seem as if there are odd silences between us? was really looking forward to meeting the boy again, and i was really glad that he had tuesday free to come out despite his busy schedule with noc/sp/other friends. but...this anticipation somewhat washed off into the rain the moment i saw him...looking all gloomy and bored, i couldn't even find a hint of a smile beneath his stoic expression...it's as if he was doing routine work or something. that's kinda upsetting really. really. the same thing happened when i met him on sat night. really.

Wednesday
met jinfu for dinner at raffles city. i didn't want to be late meeting nich and the rest at 9, so i cabbed down to cityhall only to find that he was still in school -_- smu is really near cityhall, but it was my bad for snapping o'er the phone :( sorry man... think it's been about 1 year since we last met up, and haha i reckon it'll prob be another year before we next catch up.

was late (again) in meeting nicholas, veronica, kenneth, choonhui in town. nearly caused the guys to pay extra cover charge at zouk. we got in really early..like 10pm! so we headed off to macs first. somehow, but macs brought back bittersweet memories, it was not so much the place but more of what happened. the last time the same few of us were at macs was after kenneth's bday party at the butterfactory, such dear memories :)

i didn't drink much at all, only 1 shot of apple-something. the rest except veronica had quite abit of shooters and 2 jugs and some other stuff. choonhui was abit high after that i think...haha, he kept making funny faces while wrestling against the aggressive crowd that night. mambo was really insane that night though, for some reason the crowd was quite aggressive and pushy, literally. good thing for nich kenneth and choonhui, if not veronica and i would have been squashed to some corner haha. should have brought my cam!!! pics from that night will be up after nich sends them.

it was odd that night, but alot alot alot of memories came flooding back, i should think that i'm thinking too much as usual, but indulging in some stuff really does allow that tinge of a smile to creep out from the corner of your mouth :) you 2 know what i mean. veron may know what i mean...? clubbing with the vj band pple was really quite enjoyable, dunno if there'll be another chance before i leave next year. couldn't really sleep immediately that night despite my pounding head. thinking too much, recalling too much. that's not good.

Thursday
accompanied bing around town to get stuff...quite glad we found the ck wallet, it's a pretty good buy! dinner was great...at billy bombers at the Cathay, we had a fantastic meal - soup + the all star burger in gigantic portions + cookies n cream milkshake + original sin choco cake. we used my voucher so it was quite a good deal! talked to her bout what was weighing on my mind since the night before...yea girl, it's good that i'm leaving.

Friday
had lunch with bing and sha at Billy Bombers again!!! that's cos we dipped out a 1-for-1 half slab of ribs during the lucky draw the day before haha. another good deal....a full set of ribs complete with wedge fries and chunky potato salad shared among the 3 of us! met xuan after that for ktv. 5 hours for only 10 bucks, plus free flow drinks and pseudo-sharksfin soup :) initially we thought 5 hrs would be too long, but it turned out to be just nice! my 4th time karaoke-ing...it's quite fun, girls why didn't we do this earlier?! xuan and i had mango fried rice along chinatown, thanks girl for the treat! it was really good...mango in rice does wonders. really. we talked alot about our pl days, from pri1 till sec4. don't we just miss those carefree times when there was so much lesser to worry or think about. how unlike my uni days, life complicates as we grow up, does it have to be like this? the jc years were awesome too, a different sort of experience from 10 years of being in an all-girls sch but nevertheless very enriching.

feels great to walk down memory lane with the girls in this way, not only remembering what happened, but also knowing that we were there for one another through the smiles and blushes and tears and frowns :)
