Joanna for once finished work at 5pm, and only cos it was some training course so i met her around 6 at orcahrd and we had Japanese food at this place in the basement at Paragon. It was pretty good :)
Was starving so i actually ordered an extra bowl of rice.

Jo had dental in the morning and since she stays pretty near me, decided to follow her down. But i neglected to remember that her dental was in Hougang (where is that again?!). As reward for following her all the way there, i got a lunch treat at a Thai place. cokecathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09341431834690901434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879518.post-1094069959055195132004-09-02T03:50:00.000+08:002004-09-02T04:19:19.056+08:00Dinner with HelenaWhere do i begin?
Helena must be unique; she's the only girl who's hung out with me and lost weight in the process. "What the?!", i can hear the gasps. She used to be my cycling buddy see :) That was during NS days where we didn't haev a care in the world and so could ride all over the place :)
Those days have long gone as i lost touch with her over the last 6 odd years i was out of town. cokecathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09341431834690901434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879518.post-1093941554312968272004-08-31T16:19:00.000+08:002004-08-31T16:42:13.366+08:00A Life is EndedWas at Bukit Batok MRT earlier to go to IMM to meet Amy to discuss life in general when i saw something none of us should ever have to see.

FINALLY met up with the bunch of them where we managed to update one another. Seems like everyone is moving on/settling down... man..positively felt oldish among them.
Anyway, had popiah and bbq wings in the coffee shop diagonally across Crystal Jade at Holland V. Btw, the teh peng there costs $1.20 a pop. Sheesh.

Hmm..price of the walk, a bit of carelessness. The irony is that i didn't trip on some natural impediment, but rather lost my balance on a railing and fell back, scraping my leg against a stone bench :) Oh i love the things we add to enhance nature.

Played baddie at the SSS again. But this time all the boys were away for some match thing elsewhere, so got to play with a bunch of secondary school age girls.

It was exactly that for me as i never really came to accept the harsh (by my standards) injustices that NS inflicted us. Not that i can complain really, i almost always brought punishments down on myself.

I ALWAYS knew that machine was evil! But i've finally gotten confirmation after numerous incidents. Just a few days ago, it managed to steal one of my V5 pilot pens and spin it around like mad until the ink came out. This time it's eaten my comb and spat it out like chewed sugarcane! Can't eat plastic huh! i had better keep my wallet and phone out of its reach :P
