Reminiscence

As the saying goes, "Don't forget to stop and smell the roses". Day in, day out, people are running on a very tight schedule, practically crazy from their busyness and semi-nutso from the stress. At times, in the moment of sucrease from their misery just after they rush by, one might overhear them say,"Hey! we've little time to play with! Let's stop, try to relax and catch our breath!" Time is indeed like a toy! We should have the opportunity to treat it like our intimate friend and, who knows, we may benefit from it. However, more often than not, people usually treat Time as their perpetual enemy or otherwise like some kind of "time bomb": pre-programmed, ominously ticking and looking set to burst!

The last week has been a rather busy one for me. Reminiscence was on mind as I recalled that fateful day, 22 March 2005-->the day I completed my final examination in school. It seemed like just yesterday when I just stepped into poly and starting out the course. Before I realise it, I am now embarking on another journey in my life. With only about a week to spare, I tried to meet up with many of friends as I did not have a farewell party. The cost of having 1 is quite a bomb.

[Wed] Met up with phoebe at Orchard MRT on a mission for Sally's 21st birthday. This mission was not an easy 1 as we were not sure of what to get for Sally.Also, we tried not to let her know that we were meeting up just in case she suspected that we getting her presents!!(haha!!) After visiting many shops later, we finally got together her birthday present. It was a mixture of gifts which, I (& phoebe) hoped that Sally like it!

[Thur] There were intial plans of meeting up NC2 for dinner. It has been ages since we last met as a team and on our last outing, Cherline was absent. However, as 2 of my teammates were not able to make it and I was not really keen on the outing, I made a last minute attempt to ditch the entire outing. Besides, I wanted to spend some quality time with my family since my older sister was away for camp and my dad had to work late from mon-wed. I really treasured the opportunity of being able to dine together as a family and also since I would not be home for dinner for the next few days.

[Fri] Met Jasmine for lunch at Bishan. It has been ages since we last saw each other and the last time that we saw each other was when we returned to PL to collect our O levels results. Its like 8 yrs since we last met...My gdness!!Nonetheless, the time was spent catching up with each other. After that, I had to meet phoebe at Tampines interchange where we went for Sally's 21st bdae party at Aloha Changi. My gdness..the place is so ulu...Quite hard to find but, let me praise phoebe & myself..We managed to find the place without calling Sally..YEAH!!!A big pat for the both us..I'm so proud of us!!I enjoyed the time there though I was there for a short while..Really sorry we left before you cut ur cut..Nonetheless, I hope you liked the present that we picked out for you..

[Sat] Went to Phoebe's house for her farewell party..The food prepared by her dad was GGRREEAATT and delicious too!!!Haha...Its was a rather small gathering with some her friends..Caught up with Tammy & the rest...After her party, we adjourned to CoffeeBean for a dose of coffee..

[Sun] Went out for lunch with my family..At the restaurant, my da jie found a baby cockroach inside the claypot chicken..What was thought to be restaurant with reputation has been tarnished by this incident..What's more, the restuarant is owned by my cousin's husband's mother..After the lunch, I had to rush to meet yanming and the rest for the chalet..Though we were supposed to meet at 4pm, all of us were late...We bought some food sufficient for the night's survival, checked into the chalet, had dinner. As we felt bored at the chalet while watching the NKF show, we decided to go to the bowling alley only to find out that it would be closing in an hr's time..So, we went out for a long walk instead..But the walk wasn't long as we received a phonecall saying that Si Yuen was not feeling well at the chalet..After I "deduced" what she was "suffering", it was only a case of dehyration..Slept at about 4 plus while being "molested" by Grace during my sleep..

[Mon] Woke up in the morning at abt 8plus and got ready for a swim..As we planned to go for KBox session, we swam for abt an hour..Nonetheless, it was great exercising my lazy and fat body. Went to KBox for a singing session and my! Venice sure does have a nice voice..Should have gotten her autograph before she got famous..Haha..HAd bbq in the evening and I was kinda pissed by someone-->Was lazy, drank most of the alcohol..The night ended on a rather teary note as I bade farewell to the ASc pple...I couldn't control..My,what an embarrassing situation..Nontheless, I was glad I was once part of their memory!!

[Tue] Went to school for the graduation ceremony..the ceremony was very punctual..Anyway, I did it!!!I finally graduated with a diploma!!!YEAH!!Kudos to me and all the Graduants of 2005!!!
