how my 2009 started
it's been very long since i have such a wordy post. please be mentally prepared to read stuff that might be of no interest to you but i need to write it for my own reading pleasure in future.
-------------------------
well, it's not the 1st of jan but it's still the first day i went out in 2009. on 2 jan, i went to singapore to meet up with seveners before penny flies back!
in the morning i met up with yongquan, john and shiqian first. they were playing badminton. even though i didn't want to join in at first, i still did. in the end i sweated so much i had to go to john's house to shower and change into yongquan's polo tee. stupid shiqian.
and for two years in a row, there was no jam at both checkpoints at the start of the new year! but (for 2 years in a row) when there's no jam at the checkpoints, THERE WAS JAM ALONG THE EXPRESSWAYS IN SINGAPORE.
how unlucky am i. TWO YEARS RUNNING! i forgot what happened last year, but this year a tree fell down cause there was a very heavy rain.
anyway, the jam occured when we were on our way to singapore poly to have our lunch. john kinda miss the food in his old school. ok la. cheap and resonable. maybe i'm just in melbourne too long. the food in sp... $2.60 seems really cheap to me.
after sp yuheng had to go to plaza singapura (ps) to meet some aunty who was going to brief him for his new job as a hamper merchandiser at carrefour. went through ERPs twice from sp to ps. then after ps, we made our way to bugis to meet up with the other seveners. and on the way there, we lost our way! and and and...
WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF ERPs! omg. so many that i actually lost count, you know. i think the total cost of the ERPs were $6 or $7 or $8. aiyah. very expensive jiu shi le. and i don't know why also. on a friday afternoon. in town. there is also jam.
jam + many ERPs = a very 无奈的世扬.
when my friends finally managed to help me find the car park for bugis junction, IT WAS A LOADING/UNLOADING CAR PARK. had to exit and find the real car park again. luckily no more ERP.
i looked at the parking rates and calculated. my parking fees is less than the ERP charges. now i understand why people complain about the ERPs so much. and really, don't ever get lost in town when the ERP gantries are in operation. you will really get scared when you see another gantry, even when you are walking.
----------
finally met up with the seveners. we actually met up for dinner only. but i don't know why, the meeting time was 3.30pm. after all the jams and lost of direction, we only met up at 4.30pm. then inbetween that time and dinner we went to play pool. oh well, they played pool while i slept. really tired from the jam plus i woke up at around 7am. just couldn't fall asleep after i was woken up by the noises my sister made while getting ready to leave for singapore.
deciding where to eat was another long discussion whenever yongquan is around. haha. anyway luckily we went with the original plan and went for steamboat.
bad luck once again and the fan above my table was spoilt. and the steam was constantly blowing towards me. headache. as in really headache. i got a headache while eating steamboat. must be due to the steam.
food wasn't great but as usual, what i treasure more is the company and the conversations we had.
when dinner was done, everyone didn't feel like going home after such a fun dinner i guess. in the end we decided to go to a bar along bukit timah road. for pictures, please refer to my facebook. i will only talk about one picture here.
before this picture was taken, when john was suddenly getting ready for his pose, HE KISSED ME. don't know whether accidentally or purposely. but he kissed me. i later up the challenge for a mouth to mouth but then i forgot whether he rejected or what else happened it didn't happened in the end.
after hanging out a while more and the girls taking a few more funny pictures, it was already 11.15pm and i had to go. cause before i left the house i told my mum i am going home today. and so i had 45mins to reach home in jb and fortunately the new jb custom did what it is supposed to do and there was no jam at both checkpoints again! and i reached home just before 12am.
no wonder in her blog, evelyn's caption me as cinderella.
because this post is so wordy, i think i need to get a new camera. hmmmmmmmmm
