| just like the good ol' days |
I had a day totally free from mugging yesterday (except during a brief visit to kinokuniya, where I pick up a pocket version of Netter's and ended up having a quick revision on the cranial nerves. Argh.)
Gosh, I so needed a break from the drudgery of just staying cooped up at home to mug. Its been... 6 consecutive days since I last stepped out of the house.
It was so nice to just be able to walk out of the estate, and take a bus again. And boy, I really had fun today. Over 12 hours of just hanging out in town and roaming the streets.
Met up with GAG today. Haha. Gladys is back in town from London for her Easter break, so we decided to have a reunion of sorts. So yes, it was another GAG+patron/manager outing today, the last since.... September last year.
It was great meeting up with them. Brought back lots of fond memories of our JC days. The four of us just doing so much nonsense. All the crap and rubbish and provocative statements. (mostly from me. muahaha)
We had a eating spree. Ate Ding Tai Feng @ Raffles City, then walked all the way to Dohby Gaut to go our favourite TCC haunt. Drank ice coffee, and just chatted for quite some time.
Then we decided to walk all the way to Takashimya, though we really didn't know want we wanted to do there. Ended up in Kino, like always. We always end up in kino, and just went around grabbing books with weird/provocative titles and just speculating what their contents might be about.
Followed Gladys to get her moisturizers stocked up for her trip back. She's leaving on Monday, so fast. Too short a holiday back I guess.
But anyway, in the end we couldn't decide where else to go and ended up taking the train back to Raffles City, and headed down to another of our favourite haunts - Haagen Diaz @ Esplanade. And had -what else?-chocolate fondue.
Had fun catching up with 3 of them. Gladys and her life in London. Weird lecturers, interesting stuff she's been doing, like horse riding, cooking and stuff.
Discussed alot of really weird topics as well. Lots of amusing stuff. It was just fun to get the whole dynamics of our dysfunctional group started again. Haha.
I never tried to be someone who had cliques in JC. I always saw myself as the floater in the class, the one who would float between the many different clique in 04s71. I mean, I got along with every single clique in the class: the guys, the girls, the 'Friends' and of course GAG (otherwise known as the CO gang).
But to be honest, I felt most comfortable with GAG. The times spent with the 3 of them in CO, the times spent with them sitting at the class bench crapping and making fun of them... are some of my fondest memories of JC life.
We had a weird sort of group dynamics going on. I remember someone would say something, and I would always be the one who would twist it, either in a provocative way, or turn it into some nonsensical statement: teasing them, making fun of them, just basically talking alot of crap.
Geraldine would be the reasonable one, who would either take my joke and make it funnier, or sometimes, just accept the fate of being the butt of my jokes and alex's bullying. Muahaha.
Alex was the unfortunate one. Whatever came out of his mouth, would always end up being the butt of our jokes. He just has the knack of saying so many wrong things at the wrong time.
And Gladys. The dominatrix. Haha. I remember the times were she would whack us with her books if we (or rather I) made fun of her. Even being the dominatrix didn't make her immune to my teasing though. If I wanna tease someone, I just gotta tease that poor unfortunate person. =p
And if today showed us anything, is that the dynamics of our little group has stayed pretty much the same as before.
Except, well, Gladys is less prone to violent tendencies, I'm more flippant and mad these days, Geraldine's still the same old reasonable girl... and Alex. Just can't stop himself from putting his foot into his mouth. Haha.
It was great. Brought back everything... just like how it was in the good ol' days. Oh well, looks like the next meeting we'll ever have is in July when Gladys is coming back again.
After that, waited with Geraldine for the rest of my class to come, while Gladys went out and Alex went to watch a concert.
Some of my class were going night cycling today. I was actually supposed to go, but I decided in the last minute not too. Quite sorry for pangseh-ing them, because this time, it looked like a really good plan was set out for the trip, but was just too tired from sleeping at 0330 and waking up at 0700 this morning.
And really wanted to go though. Had so much fond memories of the night cycling trip I did with almost the same bunch of people - Yisheng, Khengwee, Amanda and Yuenmei - last year in September.
So in the end decided to meet them at their first pitstop - Brewerkz at Riverside Point.
This time, the night cyclers included Yisheng, Khengwee, Yuenmei, Shinwei and Anthony. We ordered lots of food at Brewerkz, though we sorta came to the conclusion that the platter of appetizers was rather costly at 40 bucks.
But I thought the chicken wings on the platter were quite delicious though, but the rest didn't think so. So anyway, I had extra wings, their loss, totally my gain.
Also ordered a rather nice Brewerkz Pizza and an extremely delicious Bread Pudding. Oh it was heavenly. Had couple of mugs of strawberry beers and fruit punch as well (the night cyclers weren't allowed to drink too much alcohol, lest they fainted on the road or something.)
The whole gang of 6 of them tried to interrogate my about the state of my love life. I should have known lah, something was so fishy about the way they were asking questions.
I must admit that it was quite a change for me to be on the hot seat when I'm usually the one who interrogates people. HAHA.
Nice try people. All I can say is that its all on my previous blog entry and that at the moment, I have NO love life and that everything's a mess. Hahaha. So please stop asking me about it. You'll just get the same response you got today. Which is constant denial and temporary deafness on my part. =P
Walked back to VCH to take my bus though. It was 12 by the time I boared the bus. Reached home half an hour later. Am so looking forward for a wonderful night in my bed. Haha.
A whole day without touching my books. It was just a needed break from the mugging. Today its back to the books again, but still, I felt that I sorta got back my sanity back. So yes, guess I'm more prepared and motivated to keep working for the Pros again.
"Well... its a mess" "This sort of thing? Always a mess."
How true, how true. =pLabels: food, friends, photos, randomness |
