A Long Day

1 day. 2 major events. This is 16 july 2005, my gf "moving-into-hostel" date, and kent's councillor gathering.

First, start the day early. 8am plus i'm out to pick her up for breakfast, settle her photos in my comp and write photos into CD for her to develop, to shift her items from her school and her house and pack up into my van, etc etc... poor girl... was starting to miss home abit.. No worries, you will be back soon again..

When we are finally on the way, it's already lunch time when we hit IMM... after food, next mission: to find my sister Birthday gift. After much hunting around, i finally gotten 2 hello kitty items for her (ya, she likes hello kitty alot..!! haha...)

On the way again. Shortly after i entered PIE, my hp rang.. and surprise...it was Dom!... haha..she just went pass my in a taxi, on way to NTU for her camp. At first she finds my van familiar... but what made her confirm it was me was actually that 3 "shen" figures on my dashboard...haha.. isnt they are supposed to for safety? when it became a form of identity for my dad's van... haha.. interesting.

Next, Jurong Point to develop shufang's photos.. A short stay, and we went on towards NTU. On the way inside, we stop by Hall 10 to have a short chat with dom..She was busy preparing for their Orientation camp, and hey.. u made me missing those days when we prepared for camps too eh... haha... would i have this chance again in my life to do such jobs? hmm.. only the future knows...

So, finally finally... we reach Hall 7, my gf home for the coming months... and hey, the place is really very quiet..! Guess because it's more isolated and it's a saturday.. Unload items. The carpark was quite a distance from the hall.. so in the end, both of us had a good time sweating out by shifting all the stuff from the van to room...walked few times up and down.. haha... But luckily, it wasnt built on hills... or else, i think both of us would really die on the stairs...haha..!!

Unpack the stuff, clean up, set up the laptop for LAN, etc... finally both of us got the bit of time to sit down.. Was really a peaceful and quiet place... like a resort. Her roommate was out for the day and night, so guess she really gonna to be alone for the night... haiz.. just hope monday will come earlier for her. When finally the time came for me to take my leave, i felt something...hope u will be well..

Back to the road again, now alone in the van...towards Marina Bay, second phrase of today.

Fastforward to the dinner. Derrick, kathy, kent, kelly, portia, benjamin and soon leong was there, and it was really since some time that everyone gathered, and i had a really good chat with everyone... although was gettin abit tired and some nose block that irritated me, i enjoyed the time ;-) hehe.

After dinner, head towards esplanade park for our next little program...But gotten a little jam on e way, coz i forget the road was closed for the NDP (ironic right, i just witnessed it myself on 2 of the sat and now i forgotten about it.. haha)

Arrived at the park... and surprise! (intended), Jinie appears with a birthday cake for kent (Kent birthday coming) On the spot with items borrowed (lighter from public) and recycled (cakes served with teared up cake box), we done up a little celebration for him... hope u like it, kent!

The night is still quite young.. so all of us took our stroll up and chat along e way, til we reach one fullerton and visited this nice pub... It's a very relaxing environment with soft music and big sofa (and no smoke) ...great! Will want to visit again.... with more cash and no blocked nose..haha.. Anyway, everyone had a great time, as we played our old game again... Zhong Ji Mi Ma

Time flies with happiness, and it time to go back...with a long stroll back to my vehicle (still at esplande park, if u recall...haha) As i drove out, it's a jam again... this time round it's because of the long long long queue of army tanks driving out from NDP preview... haiz...waited for quite a long time at the junction, while the girls was having some fun with kathy's bolster...haha.

And after i drop off soon leong, the remaining of us ran into a police stop... Seems they only target on youngsters, so we are all called to pull of aside and checked on our ID... Quite a eye opener for some... and thankfully for me i knew beforehand what they are doing...or else i guess i might be nervous.. hmm.. but anyway, once again we are all delayed for quite sometime there, coz there were quite a number of IC for them to check (there were others who were stopped too) and the computer system too... Not too good, when we all wants to go back asap...

Drop off everyone left to their places and i'm finally back home, at 4am plus. Wow, 20 hours outdoors... a quick bath, and quickly, z z z z z z ...

what a long day :-)
