:: National Day stayover ::

my butt is aching.. sooo tired after a day out with my triplets and friends. haha.. my triplets are Faith and Junren, and my friends are Rj and Alvin.

wed was public holiday eve. a client asked me to stay back to upload some stuff on their website. i was sort of a middle person, because i had to pass the files to someone else to upload. and i had to wait till the person upload the files on the website before my client allowed me to leave =x haiz~ the guy seemed to have left his office earlier, so i could not reach him, so i had to inform the client tt there's no point in me staying to check the website since the guy had left. c'mon, it's public holiday eve! some companies would give their staff a half day off okay!

after work i went to Burlington Sq to meet my triplets. haa.. went to buy a pirated Sony Ericsson earpiece converter - to connect to a normal earphones plug. ****** SonyE to come up with UNIQUE products and peripherals. i had to buy a bigger memory card since i'm using the phone as a mp3 player as well. and then i can keep the thai phone at home till my sis comes to collect it back. but i didn't get the card though. didn't know it costs so much. grrr...

went up to junren's apartment and slack. chatted with him on msn and played msn games. haha yeah i know, we could just talk face to face ya. faith was playing an online game. started to get hungry around 9+pm, so we went for supper. Rochor beancurd was just a few minutes walk away. =P after we came back i went to take a shower. Alvin arrived. he brought dvds along, and i watched 300, the movie. couldn't quit laughing at the drag queen in the movie, Xerxes. haha.. didn't really catch the dialogue most of the time. had to ask Alvin what they were saying, since he's watched it 5 times! Jr's place has become a Lan shop. lol. he, alvin and faith were all playing online games.

then Rj arrived past midnight. he was quite tired, so he went to sleep. can't rem what we did, but faith and i went to sleep around 3am. haa.. chatted till we fell asleep. woke up around 9+am.. i gained an extra left eyelid these few days and felt v weird, like i had to force open my eyelids properly, but after blinking it droops down again. argh.. washed up and went out and realise the guys had not been sleeping well. they had to sleep on the sofa cuz they gave us the biggest bed. Jr is a super light sleeper.. both he and Rj woke up when they heard my camera's shutters. and i dunno why Rj was outside in the living room since he went to bed first.

went to buy BK breakfast with Jr. quite an expensive breakfast, since there must be some cheap good breakast around the area. guess we're all quite lazy. wanted to swim here, but procrastinated. haha.. before the stayover faith told me that both of us will go swimming while the guys play their games. and i was quite happy with the plan cuz i'm quite shy to go swimming with guy friends. haha. but she asked the guys to join in. anyway in the end we didn't go la.

we went to ECP to cycle. i rode on a double bike behind Rj. i must say he's good man. though my dad rides a motorbike, it's still more stable than a bicycle. to be able to ride a double bike with confidence is really zai man. i rem the last time i rode a double bike was with Hilwan, at pulau ubin. Weng Heng was also there. we went there for a photography session. really miss those times man. Wan was zai also, since the terrain at pulau ubin was much rougher and tougher.

the bike gave us really bad aching butt...and my whole groin area.. tt i wonder if tt's how it feels when u lose ur first time. *coughs* ... everytime Rj and i overtake the rest and gone too far in front we would stop and wait for them, and i would get off the bike and complain of a badly hurting butt. we had lunch at ECP hawker centre. ordered fried oysters, fried carrot cake, fried kuey tiao, fried hokkien mee and satay. =D thank God for healing me of my sickness that i could eat KFC (with my dad on tue) and all these stuff without having sore throat again. thank God for holding back the rain though it looked like it was going to rain anytime the whole day.

we got to a quieter part of ECP and alvin gave me a bicycle lesson. he was really very encouraging, and i could sense some progress in learning to cycle. i didn't master it yet, because i first have to overcome the lack of confidence. i never learnt much when i was young. i used to be quite proud tt my parents never forced me to take up extra lessons or whatever, when all my classmates were busy with piano lessons, ballet, swimming etc. but now i feel like i've lost out a lot in my childhood. sometimes i feel quite a failure, that so many pple can cycle like it's an easy feat while i can't. haiz.

after 3 hours it was time to return the bikes. then we went out to take bus back to Bugis. we had dinner at Koo Kee ramen & dumpling restaurant. hmm yummm.. had xiaolongbao and ramen. very satisfied. good food the whole time. hehe.. i was super stoned by that time and from dinner to back at the apartment i was just like a zombie. watched part of the National Day Parade on tv and waited for the fireworks. tried to catch it outside the window, but the view was blocked by other buildings. went home after that. Rj also left since he has school the next day. so only Faith and alvin stayed at Jr's place for another day. felt a bit cheated but i shan't say more.

took train from Little India station. thank God that i could have a seat though i was expecting a super crowded train after the NDP. my butt hurts esp when i am about to sit down and get up. =( slept late last night cuz i was busy transferring my contacts from my old phone to new phone. sooo tired.

these few days i'm shifting office from Kampong Bahru Rd to Hong Lim Complex. should have lotsa good food there, but it's further from Vivocity now. awww...
