posting for 15,16 April
Have not been blogging for the past weekend. Actually the past three days were packed with activities.
Attended my company staff retreat which was held at Civil Service Club last Friday. Nothing much actually. Just a bowling session in the morning. Had a loooong lunch ended at 3pm) then some group discussions abt challenges and solutions, company culture.
It has been a few years since my last attempt at bowling. So, you can guess how I fared. Luckily I wasn’t the lowest scorer in my group. The lowest scorer was a male colleague, who though looks macho, was a bit “nua3” in some ways……
Sat was a really busy day. Think I squeezed abt 6 activities in that day.
Well, my Sats are still packed with activities even though I am “retired” from TXY. The last time I stepped into SPH was at the Freshmen Orientation camp. It’s a nice change, so far, I have time to attend classes and have been doing some craft work, went shopping and KTV with friends, and even had some gatherings with friends & juniors from TXY.
Hmm, let me recapped the series of events I had on Sat.
1) Tuition from morning to early noon. Had actually brought forward the class by 30 mins so that I have time to travel to my “next stop”.
2) Rushed to Plaza Singapore to attend art lessons. Learnt how to make tags. I guessed people won’t believe such a small tag actually takes abt 30 mins to complete. Made 8 tags within the 3 hours, Time really flies pass so quickly when you are engrossed in your work.
It was an enjoyable lesson, though I had made quite a few mistakes. First it was due to my “parallax error” (some friends know I can’t really interpret straight lines), then it was my lack of strength to hammer the eyes onto the paper. Haha, the instructor, a petite lady manage to hammer down the eyelet in one strike.
丢脸!
“你没吃饭huh?” She jokingly asked.
Yeah, I didn’t . ….
3) Went off to meet Sips at Hougang Mall. Was supposed to look for something, but *sigh!*, nothing much to see at Hougang Mall.
4) We met up with YW at the bus stop within bus interchange ( yeah , sounds so weird, but it is really the case) and proceed to Cyn's hse for her birthday bbq celebration. Was raining initially, so we hanged out at her house for her while, then went to the park where the bbq pits are located. Left before they even start to “peng’ the meat and prawns. Why? See the next point
5) Well, because are we were going to Muchuan! Sips had already promised to meet up with Meilian at 8pm, and initially we thought it was Ah Du and Shaowen’sdang performing. Then just as we reached there, our informers (chengyao) smsed that The Monday dang was being asked to ti4 dang4. So we saw Ah Du, Meilian and Jianhua’s performing instead. Hmm a bit disappointed though, Not disappointed at their performance lah. Just that I never get the chance to see the original dang’s performance lor. Sips always sang praises abt Shaowen’s skills.
Oh yah, had to mentioned we managed to get Yiwei up on stage to sing again. Haha. He ended up singing the same song “温柔”. But his performance was really much better, Hmm practice makes perfect hor. Not everyone can have a chance to sing on stage leh. Just as he finished singing, the four of us shouted “Happy Birthday” to him. Quite an early “birthday present” for him lah, as he will be “pia-ing” for his exams during his birthday week. But still, the Monday dang3 sang him a birthday song. Haha someone still mentioned abt blowing candle. Too bad our table’s candle stick 早已熄灭了.
6) Well, the original plan was to meet up with Meilian and Ah Du for supper. Due to the change of performers, so Jianhua was asked along too, or else it really seems awkward. Hence we can’t talk abt some topic lor. Went for Sushi at Cineleisure. Well not a place I would recommended. (but there aren’t many places u can go for supper in town after 12 midnight). The food were not hot though we ordered them from the menu. Sips and Meilian’s ramen were too oily. And I was faced with a bowl of “the never ending seaweed” udon.
Xingrong dropped by just before we were done with our supper, and the poor waitress was at a loss with this joker. When she asked for the bottle of soya sauce, he demanded 20 cents from her. He then started to crap abt him being a “bi” and hugged the two guys beside him. Ha ha , Ah Du seems so paiseh and apologized to the waitress on his behalf.
Had a round of games at the arcade before we left for home. Phew! What a day!
as for Sunday. Well, guess I need not mention abt it. those who know would have know. :)
