Let me recall where I stopped my entry. Oh yeah so I ended it on friday night. Well on saturday morning, there was a retreat organised by our unit and everyone was to attend. The event was held at bottle tree park, about 15 mins walk from khatib mrt. There was treasure hunt and buffet lunch. The park was not very big but it was basically a place for families to enjoy themselves together. There was longkang fishing and several other facilities catering to the needs of children. Anyway, the buffet lunch was great! The vietnamese rolls were exceptionally nice and crispy. And we received mandarin oranges and hongbao from CO. =D Anyway we "fell out" at noon and I got a ride on hendrick's van to seletar airbase where I was to make my way home from there. Unfortunately I went to take the bus on the wrong direction. In the end I managed to catch another bus back to toa payoh and spent a major part of my journey sleeping on the bus. Haha.
Now let's fast forward to the evening.
So tiffany asked me last last week whether I wanted to go for a bash organised by nus pru which she was part of. It was a first try for me so I agreed to it. So I met up with stanley, zhenghan and zhongxian first for dinner at billy bombers. We were already quite late by the time we reached the arena. And we missed the lingerie show. We couldn't find the girls because the area in front of the stage was too crowded and they were supposedly at the front. We only found them when the crowd sort of dispersed. Weeyin, meerra, fiona setiawan, chingli and cherie came! After meeting them for a while, they were about to leave already because it was getting late. Only cherie stayed behind because she was waiting for her senior. Anyway I managed to meet several friends while inside the club. It turned out that Singapore is seriously very small. Three separate friends of mine were serving at the same army camp and they got to know one another. What a small world. I thought I saw weiting, my primary school classmate, but I could not confirm it and she did not recognize me when I looked at her. Anyway I also saw kwan chuan and desmond, two of my platoonmates there and it was exactly our first year of service that day. Haha. I chatted with cherie while the guys disappeared in front. She kept jio-ing me to go for her concert. Then fiona and huiling came! It was quite random that they came. Huiling was reluctant to go in but she entered in the end. Haha. Midnight was approaching by that time. I was unable to go home late, so I had to reluctantly leave early. I even rushed to the bus stop for fear of missing the last bus. But I guessed I was earlier than expected. I did not manage to get a drink as well but I might as well not let my liver suffer so much. So, this was my virgin clubbing experience. It was not a bad experience although the music was probably too loud. I thought my heart was resonating while I was inside there. The next time I am going clubbing is possibly another bash or during orientation.
I tried to sleep as long as I could until sunday morning. But there was an outing at noon! I dragged myself out of bed at ten plus and went to grab some breakfast. But I was going to be late anyway. The outing was kangwen's ord lunch treat at aston's! So I had to get to east coast road from toa payoh. I managed to find my way there since I had been to east coast road for several times. There's a lot of wonderful food down the road. And one such restaurant is aston's which is right opposite katong mall. I managed to catch up with the guys just as they entered the place. So kangwen, soon heng, jun xiang and I waited for nicholas to come because apparently he got lost. Once nicholas came, we eagerly ordered our food. This time, I tried the lemon lime chicken with coleslaw and mashed potato. The chicken was tender and the lemon lime sauce was nice. (: It was a great time out with them. We would talk about all kind of stuff. They are a great bunch of friends to be with. Anyway after the lunch, we walked through roxy square towards parkway parade where we had a coffee break at coffee bean! While we were there, we began talking about school stuff and it was easy to relate stories with them because we were either from ri or tchs. We spent quite some time stoning there before soon heng had to go off while kangwen decided to check out the tuition centres for any job opportunities. The remaining three of us decided to shop at parkway parade. Haha. Well we were pretty broke already so basically it was just window shopping for us. So, that was another day spent outside home, hanging out with my friends.
Sometimes I realise that I am probably thinking too much about things. I think so much that I get confused and start to imagine things, trying to act smart and link things together. How I wish I have the power to understand what other people are thinking of. It's time to clear my confusing thoughts but how to go about doing it? I shall find some way then. I must be brave and optimistic! =) It's time to go now, it's another working day tomorrow. That's all for now then. (:
