4 days to go

Ohh my goodness me I've only four measly days left! I can't believe it. Feels so so surreal. Ohwell! Packing is proving to be an irritant and a major room-messer. My room's a total mess now because I have been throwing everything everywhere. Haha man it sucks.

Well the past week has been filled to the brim with farewell outings with friends from everywhere.. Started off with going to the Bird Park with Shawn last Tuesday. The last time I had gone there was easily almost six years ago for my primary school friend's birthday outing during Halloween season. The place is pretty much the same, though. I can even remember some exhibits. I guess my favourite was the Lorry Loft where we could get up-close and personal with the lorries in the enclosure. The lorries would perch on your arm and drink from the little tupperware filled with some sweet water meant for the birds. It was pretty scary, though, because the lorries would all flock over to you and squabble with each other for a drink. But after awhile they'd behave themselves. I made a lorry friend who I called George! It kept perching on my shoulder like some pirate's parrot. So cute. Shawn was an absolute thick-skinned idiot who went around asking people to help us take photos. I was so embarrassed haha.




Met up with the girls on Friday to celebrate Jingfang's birthday in advance since she had no papers on that day.. Went to watch Night at the Museum 2 at The Cathay. I really like the $6 student discounted ticket - it totally agrees with my wallet. But the snacks that we bought were a total rip-off. Night at the Museum 2 was pretty funny! Laughed quite a bit. But I think the first one is funnier. I remember laughing harder and more. Haha but nonetheless it was a good watch. Spent some time at Long John's chatting and catching up with each other's lives, then Tiff had to leave and I went to meet my Secondary 4 clique. Unfortunately only four of us turned up (the rest had stuff on) but we survived. Was really great seeing them again! Especially that Eunice Yip Xin Yi. And it was a pleasant surprise finding out that piece of news from her. I wish her all the best. (:



Went climbing with Puay and Brian on Saturday finally! Brian's officer friend came along for the first time too. I think his name was Nathaniel or something. Turns out that he was Ann Marie's classmate in CJ last time! Such a small world. Had fun climbing after so long! And thankfully my blisters didn't bother me. Although taking off and putting on my shoes was quite troublesome. Had lunch at the food court then went to watch Night at the Museum 2 (again). Brian paid for my ticket so I didn't mind watching it again. :D Oh before the movie I totally owned my brother in some hunting game at the arcade. It was pretty funny. After the show I went down to Bugis for steamboat dinner with my badminton teammates! Mr Goh came along too, but Mr Wee had something on so he couldn't make it. ): Sab, Yu Sin, Huiyan, Sweeleng, Sarah Ho and Geor also came. It felt so great to be with them again.. And I certainly felt younger with all of them. Made me relive my secondary school days. We all had a good laugh talking about trainings and stuff! Especially the stories of how we used to slack during training but hide it from Mr Goh. Pictures are with Mr Goh, I must remember to get them from him.

Sunday.. Wished Jingfang and Jason a very happy birthday before meeting Puay and heading to church. It was my last Sunday in church! So sad. Reached there in time for one or two songs during worship too. Then during announcements the church leaders led the church in praying for me and I guess it was nice. Went home with Brian and Puay after lunch and took photos for Puay's new collection for onetwochic. It was pretty fun, modeling alongside Puay. Haha new experience. And I must say, modeling is not easy! You need a lot of self-esteem to look good in the pictures. Anyway, her new collection is awesome stuff. They're all hand-sewn by her mother! I'm currently her mum's biggest fan haha. And the workmanship is really good. I hope they sell well! Lovely basics that are great for school or a day out with friends. Check it out! (: (:



Then it was a tiny church farewell at a pub called Clinic at Clarke Quay! My first time going to a pub legally haha. Though I must say I don't think this sort of thing is really my kind of thing. Besides, the costs of the drinks are so damn expensive that I call it daylight robbery. But whattheheck, its just a one-off thing so who cares. Everyone was nice enough to treat me, so I didn't have to fork out any money. Thanks guys! (: Ordered a Sex on the Drip which was pretty cute.. I think it was just Sex on the Beach served in those IV bags along with an IV drip to drink it from. You put the drip in your mouth and roll down the stopper and the drink flows right into your mouth. Quite ingenious. And it cost a bomb for a bag that was only about half full. $50, omg! Haha I sound like a freaking cheapo. The guys got a house drink thingy that was a mixture of Coke and some alcohol.. I kinda liked that one. Though the alcohol content in it was probably considered non-existant. Drank two glasses and some how managed to turn a little red. Gotta work on my alcohol tolerance.



And no, we weren't drunk.

Then today! My last BSF lesson. I was pretty sad about it.. Kinda grew to enjoy attending the BSF lessons so far.. And I really regret not joining earlier. But I really thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to be able to attend a few lessons before I left. I realised today that I will actually miss my class. Although we don't talk to each other and attendance is only at most seven of us per week, I've actually grown comfortable with the familiar faces that I see each week. And my two CLs Mr Tan and Mr Lim.. Gosh, I'll miss them too! They are so passionate about teaching the Word, and they're so learned too. I really respect them and their God-given wisdom and knowledge. It was at the end of the lesson when Mr Tan announced that it was my last lesson and when Mr Lim prayed over me that I realised that I will miss everyone. I even made a friend after all this lol. One of the girls in my class couldn't stop asking me questions. I was pretty amused. Ohwell, I'll never be in the same class as them again, but I really really am grateful to God for this wonderful experience.

...and finally! I met up with Manprit my lovely fellow anty wanty after BSF for supper. It's been eons since I last saw her! Glad to know that we're both still the same whacky, crazy, insane, retarded ants that we were back in the good old days of Cedar. (: I miss those mornings when we'd go to school together and laugh non-stop on the journey to school. Love her to bits, gonna miss her so much!
