Had a pretty good gathering yesterday. Met up with Debo and Steph to celebrate Steph’s and my birthday. (Will put up photos soon if Steph actually gets round to sending them haha) It is a ritual that we had since Sec sch and we never fail to meet up every year to have a meal, catch up, exchange presents and celebrate each other’s birthdays. Oh and if we are really good that year, we will meet up for Christmas too! Haha, I am quite proud that we are still keeping in touch in a way. Even though we do not SMS or call each other at all, we can still chat about anything under the sun and picked up where we left off from the previous gathering. Its like there’s this chemistry and silent understanding that even though we are not as close as we used to be when we were in Sec sch, we knew deep down that the friendship bond was still there and we would still be there for each other if anything happens. It was indeed amazing how we could still talk about issues close to our heart and share personal problems despite having not met for the past 6 mths.
This affirms my belief that the best friendships of my lives were forged in Sec sch. And the irony is that I have my much-hated CCA Girls’ Brigade (GB) to thank for that. All of us were from GB and we hated it cos well our captain was a real bitch (at least to me and Meijun). She was demanding and biased and well she took every opportunity she had to lecture Meijun and me even though we did not really do anything wrong. And to think we slog so much for GB and gave all our time and effort and went for meetings every Sat without fail (we had 100% attendance 3 years running if you can believe it haha) only to have this stooped woman accuse us of wanting to lead a rebellion to get everyone to quit GB. Gosh..but that’s enough bitching for today..back to my nice GB memories. Yah so amidst the countless camps that we organized and attended, the drill sessions we had and the many captain ball and manhole games that we played, a strong bond of friendship was created and I am glad that it lasted till today. I sincerely hope that the 4 of us can continue to meet up even as our lives get busier. My mum till today still meets up with her 3 of her Sec sch friends to celebrate each other’s birthdays..so nice and sweet rite?
To Meijun, Steph and Debo: Thanks for the wonderful memories and for being such a major footprint in my life. I really enjoyed the sleepovers we had, trips to Sentosa and the zoo, prayer meetings, GB camps, Thailand trips, crazy things we did, pigging out..and I thank God for bringing all of you into my life, without which my Sec sch life would be pretty mundane. Here’s to many more years of gatherings yah?Things to look forward to this weekend Harry Potter!!! Its finally coming!! Can’t wait to get my copy. Am pretty worried that it would get sold out fast man. Was reading in the newspapers that orders for it have piled up and are much more than the orders taken for the previous book. Haii..*scolds myself for being such a last minute person and not ordering it at Borders or SingPost* Well hope I can get it tomorrow. As you can see, I am quite the Harry Potter fan. I have read all the books at least 4 times over and watched all the movies too. When the last movie came out, I actually forced my ex to watch the DVDs for the 1st 2 movies with me again before we went to watch for the 3rd one. Heh..but yah I love Harry Potter! I love the way Rowling is able to transport me into this magical and fantasy world…more on this after I read the next book =).
Wireless surf I can finally have Internet at home after a 1.5 week fast. And the best thing is that can now surf anywhere I want! Hooray to technology!
Birthday Dinner Going for a seafood buffet with Meijun and my family on Sat. Going on to 22..sigh..I feel like an old fart especially when I see 16-18 yrs olds hanging around Orchard in their school uniforms. I feel like I have wasted a part of my life without achieving anything. Blah. Somehow I am not as excited for my birthday anymore. Used to really look forward to it but looks like this yr my birthday will just be another passing day for me.. =( On the bright side, at least I get to go out for a good meal with the people I love. Haha as you can see eating is my solution to depression.
House Warming Will be having a house warming party for my mum’s side of the family on Sunday. Looking forward to a nice family gathering and lots of good, spicy Indonesian food. I like having people over at my house and playing host =). But the cleaning up before and after can be quite a chore tho.
Another bz and packed weekend for me =). Hope everything will go well. If all goes well, I may only have 1 more week of work left! Am planning to ask my boss if I can finish work 1 week earlier since I am not doing anything anyway and I have lots of other stuff to do for my coming exchange. Hope that he will say yes. *Keeping my fingers crossed*
