Saturday. All in a day
Sunday, April 20 11:17 PM
Yesterday unlike most Saturdays started really early and ended kinda late. Had lessons at 9am, so woke up at a ungodly hour of 6.30am. Thankfully I was on exam leave on Friday, or chances I would have skipped the morning class yesterday. Reached school slightly late, but there were people later so Joyce started like 9.20am.Janelle was better. She thought lesssons started at 10am. HahahaLessons ended close to twelve, made my way to Tanjong Pagar control station. We were all going to Kharina's house warming at Cantonment so made arrangements to meet Yuh Tze at the control station. I suck at directions, much more those in Tanjong Pagar. Yuh Tze is a great guide! Haha, she brought me through the short cuts and short passes.Apparently she knows the area well having worked in MOH earlier. By the time we got there, it was already close to 1pm. The rest were already there! It was kinda fun seeing everyone outside work, on a Saturday in their t-shirts and slacks, just hanging around with their kids, grandkids and babies. Nicole was damn funny playing with Ian. I think the poor boy must be horrified of her by now, but Nic is really quite a joy to be around. She reminds me of a cousin, I just can't put a finger to who exactly. Anyway, lunch was buffet-style. Western. Spaghetti, cheese sausages, cold cuts, beef steaks, chicken pieces. Nice. I didn't eat much though, had late breakfast in class.Nonetheless Kharina and Simon were great hosts as we almost turned their new nest upside down. HahaAs it drew closer to 4pm, people started leaving. I left with Nicole among the last batch. Since dear weren't here to pick me yet, I thought I'll meet him direct at Vivo instead. Took the MRT and then LRT.Finally got to Vivo! Wow, now that he sends me around everywhere, taking the public transport does feel a little confusing these days.I had to find the exit that points to Vivocity at the MRT station, that is how bad it was. HahaI think I looked like a tourist. Thank god nobody ushered me towards Sentosa exit. :)Shopped alone for like 10mins and Bluey arrived. We gave the name Bluey to his March, cos it was blue (duh). Okay. Point noted, lousy excuse.Let's move on.After I unloaded my stash into his car, humongous bag, IM notes and files, we made our way to get our Saturday Matinee tickets.BUT horror of horror! All tickets were sold out until 11.30pm! And that time, it was only 4.30pm for crying out loud!Since it was the movie, or no movie. We had to relocate. E-hub here we come! E-hub is the newly branded cinema and entertainment hub at Downtown East and it officially opened yesterday. Our initial plans were to go there to meet Corey and Nicholas but we decided to head to Vivo instead cos the boys were not joining us afterall. However, like fate would have it, we're back at where we had wanted to go in the first place.Yay, got our tickets and met newly weds, Cedric and Angela along the way. How coincidental!Proceeded for dinner @ Sakura Buffet! I love it, so does Boyfriend! I adore adore the fried rice. Stupid I know, but I stuff myself silly with the rice there each time. It's very party-fried rice which absolutely tantalises my tastebuds.Normal fried rice that you get at Zi Char stalls are like Yang Chou fried rice, so it's a bit different. The rice at Sakura somehow makes me happy! Haha. Strange but true.Yes, it's buffet but each time Dear and I go to Sakura, it's always grab and go. We think 24 bucks is pretty cheap so no need to stuff ourself silly. 'Sides, it's so near! We came and left in about an hour. That's after dessert, of course. Yumm!Anyways, we caught The Forbidden Kingdom. Hmmm, with all the hype and publicity, I expected more from the film, moreover it's Jet and Jackie in the same movie when seldom do we see the 2 Js in a sentence.The movie was oooo.kay, it delivered what it promised., storyline and all. I just expected a little more bang to it. After the flick ended, we drove to Pasir Ris to meet up with Nicholas. He met with some sticky encounters recently, which he obviously did not find funny. Nonetheless when he told me about it, I couldn't stop laughing. HahahaWhen a person is down on his luck, shit happens. I shan't mention his predicament on this entry, since I don't wanna bore you further than what I have already been doing. HahahaStill, all the best to him! I wanna have updates on his drama soon ya. We joked that the calibre of his misfortune is good enough to be screened on mediacorp primetime slot. hahaha, screw that. Maybe even TVB. HahaFinally, my tired body saw the familiar setting of my home again close to midnight. If your maths didn't fail you, you would have realised that I've been awake for close to 18 hours? That is 1 whole day for you. Almost slept on the toilet bowl, I swear. Okay, that being said. Sunday was spent mugging and so will it be till Thursday. I can't wait till next Saturday cos all my papers would be over by then! Nights world. It's time to sleep again.YAWN.
