RACHIETAN IS BAAAACK!
Its my third day back in Singapore, and I've been too lazy to post anything. But since I'm supposed to be studying now I guess I'll do a quick one here. Its only normal, isn't it? That we procrastinate whenever we're not supposed to. Hahah.
The flight back was pretty smooth for me, apart from the fact that I was quite bored during the 7-hour flight, and my ass got really sore from sitting. Managed to watch UP and Gokusen The Movie. UP is so cute la, I really like the dog Dug. I think the producers did a great job in scripting Dug's part! Because if we could hear what dogs think and say I think it would be exactly how Dug was portrayed. But anyway, I was so happy when the plane touched down in Singapore and I was grinning to myself in my seat haha. Surprisingly immigration was empty when I reached, and thanks to Singapore's ultra fun thumb-print reading machines for citizens I cleared immigration immediately. Got my luggage from the belt and went through the gates!
First people I saw were Fang, Tiff and Hengtiong. And they made banners that read, "WELCOME BACK RACHEL" and held it up for me as I walked towards them. Hahha damn cute lah! Then I saw my family and Shawn, Tine and Turtle came too!! I was so happy to see so many of my friends again (: After talking to everyone (except Shawn haha) for awhile, my family and I headed to MAS AYU to have supper!! Mee goreng pattaya, yay! Haha then we dropped Puay back at home and I went to see her new puppy Flex. Omg Flex is so cute la. Haha going to play with him tomorrow! :D
First full day back was on Sunday, and Brian and I met up with Puay and Stella to have prata brekkie near church before heading there for contemporary service. It felt good to be back in KKMC man! After being away for so long. Though I gave up following the sermon as usual, I enjoyed sitting in the familiar surroundings and being in God's presence. So many of my old church friends came too!! All of them were there, actually.. Shawn, Jason, Andrew, Gloria, Joce, Ann-marie and Wendy. I really missed all of them! Had the famous $2 laksa for lunch that's near church before going to Plaza Sing to watch Avatar. Ended up not being able to get any tickets, and resulted in rotting for about three hours. Then we went to the outdoor atrium to support KKMC's choir who was caroling on the stage as part of CCIS. I think the performance was lovely, and God was good because it didn't rain and many people stopped to listen to the songs and the message being read. And I must say, I really like this year's CCIS decorations at Plaza Sing! From the sculptures of the nativity scene, the three kings and the sign post that has like "Nativity Square", "Bethlehem Lane" on it, it was a good way to reach out to the public about the real meaning of Christmas. Headed to my grandparents' place for dinner after that, and had fun catching up with my little cousins and family. (:
Finally went climbing for the first time yesterday in school! I must say, SR has changed quite a bit form the last time I was there.. New coats of paint on the walls, some weird water fountain sculpture thingy, the terrace among others. But SR still feels the same and it felt good to be back. The J1s had training, but managed to boulder because they were mostly at the speed wall. Alvin, Suemay and Adriel came too, so they set routes for us. Though it was pretty depressing that I suck to bad at climbing now (after not climbing for six months), it was really good to be climbing again and getting annoyed at myself for not being able to complete routes. Haha. Hengtiong, Fang, Rai and I met Tiff after climbing and ate lunch at Kovan, then we went to Taka to stalk Edmond who was working at G2000. Haha he looks so funny dressed smartly and attending to customers. I wanted to laugh so hard. But we left him to it, met Kenny and went to Starbucks to sit and talk cock. Omg it was hilarious la, laughing and talking nonsense haha. Almost had a bitch fight with this group of fat old ahlian bitches who tried to take a table that I was already at but in the end they stomped off because I refused to budge and basically stared them down. What retards I tell you, trying to take a table that already has someone standing over it. Haha whatever, I won. (Y)
And today! Rocmoc picnic under the stars at East Coast Park later! Fang's coming over first, I'll bake brownies, then we'll head off to meet the rest at Parkway. Omg I'm so eggcited haha I miss everyone! May God bless our time together and give us good weather please!!!
Okay better go do some work now, before Fang comes. Ta! <3
