Oh man what a weekend!
Before I start, let me say this: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAN!
Alan has been a friend of mine since pri 3. That's 12 years FYI. He's kinda emotional and one nice guy to talk to. Sensible as well but I remember we squabbled over some stupid things in pri 5 when we were grouped together for some stupid social studies project. He must be feeling kinda sad now 'cos his girlfriend is in Australia studying but I think the cds gang more than made up for her absence yesterday. It was perhaps the most heart-warming and moving birthday gathering I've ever been to and all thanks to Yongbin, Jfeng, BH, Weili and Maggie for making it so wonderful. Rushed to Lan's chalet as soon as I finished S19 gathering. More on that later. And cheers to CDS '01 too coz almost everyone was there! Anyway, you're a grown-up now so yea take care of yourself dude.
Oh yea S19 gathering was quite good too but we were missing a few faces yesterday. A total of 14 pple turned up. It was kinda awkward meeting each other in the beginning 'cos we haven't met up for quite some time but everyone was warmed up in the latter part. Great food, some ok games( as usual Murderer/Polar Bear/ Card-water game) but many thanks to Mrs Koh for allowing us to have the gathering at her place. As usual Linxi was theloudest friendliest around, but I can't imagine a gathering without him. He's the only one who can entertain us without really entertaining. Almost all the guys have already ORD-ed except for Linxi and I so there was a bit of showing-off by the 'civilians' about their pink ICs. Hmm. Wait till I get mine. Less than 70 days to go. Nothing much has changed for the gals, partly because I still keep in touch with some of them. Credit goes to Kenny aka class rep for organising the gathering. Let's hope that most of us will still stay in touch even as we move on.
Just came back from the Natas fair held at Suntec City. Went there with Des and Drew. We wanted to check out some deals for our HK trip. Yea we're planning to travel from 15 to 19 May. The fair was super-packed despite an admission fee of 3 bucks. S'poreans just want to travel no matter the cost. Well we did check out some deals for HK but they were kinda unsatisfactory. We however decided that we will travel free and easy. Good news for me 'cos I hate going on group tours. It's almost army-like. You know, the 'Wake up this time' 'Go where this time', 'Gather back at this place at this time' kind of thing. Hate it. We have not booked our trip yet but it'll most probably be with Farmosa. Their deals are the best in town so far. What puzzles me is that the Natas fair is not a fair where you can find the best deals, which I had always thought so. It's more of a fair where all the large/small tour agencies come together so that you can choose the deal that suits your needs the most. The prices of each destination varies from agency to agency so next time if you decide to travel it would be best to check many agencies before you take the plunge.
Anyway, it's back to camp for me tmr. Lucky for me that I have a physio session so Lt Bay allowed me to go directly from home instead of booking in on Sunday night. 2 more weeks to go.
It's a tough road to Freedom.
