i've had a whirlwind of three weeks since work started! - has it been really three weeks already? first week of training and intense boredom; first friday night, where the l4d gang met up again and had a SHOWDOWN. girls did much better this time and the score was not as appalling; we even managed to make it to the safehouse! ((((: then we had supper, our favourite eggplant beehoon again, and we went to light lanterns in the spirit of midautumn festival at bedok reservoir. unfortunately garry and yixiang were so un-enthusiastic they complained throughout and were happiest when we set the pig lantern on fire.

there was that saturday with the 4/1 class gathering, all thanks to the fab organisers weijian and freddie and host yihern. unfortunately it was marred by siautung's car accident! so we spent one hour feeling down and depressed. but the food was good, with homecooked pasta from the boys! and we took lots of photos, gossiped and caught up on A LOT, especially with some classmates i hadn't seen in years. it was awesome! they are seriously the nicest bunch of guys i have ever known. i spilled sago on the floor and weijian rushed to mop it up, leaving me feeling very discomfitted -_- afterwards i went for supper at bukit timah! where we had frog leg porridge. yummms.

the following saturday, honghan organised tennis! so we went down to yio chu kang to play: honghan suyi june james estelle kenneth and me. it was a big group and the courts were divided into PROS and NOOBS (obviously i fell into the noob category). the sun was blazing hot so everyone got tanned and red! then we had dinner at dingtaifung, before june james estelle left and hongjing and yanni showed up! and it was the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. honestly i thought it wasn't that great, it lacked that magical pixar touch. but it was still all right.

sunday i had my regular dose of kickboxing which left me COMPLETELY KNACKERED because it was so intense! but it was a fab workout. then i went down to takashimaya for the kinokuniya photography competition prize handouts; and after we had SUSHI TEI YUMMMMS. sashimi salad and nabeyaki udon (: and i was still hungry, so we went to try the chocolate blackout cake and apple mango crumble at PS cafe! it was yummy but expensive and seriously the cake cannot be finished on its own because of its huge quantity of CHOCOLATE. but i like that place, the ambience is lovelyyy.

and finally! this weekend just past: friday night was OT (thank you to peijun and kenneth so much for sitting there watching me FILE endlessly), before a late late chicken rice dinner at bishan, a game of pool at serangoon, and drinks at red dot in dempsey. the lime wheat beer is tangy and refreshing and i looooove the ambience in that place! especially all the huge lanterns dangling from the tree. ((((: then scott joined us for supper, frogs' legs again at bukit timah.

then yesterday: i watched 500 days of summer with peis! before meeting xueli for tea at bakerzin. the service was absolutely horrendous but the food was quite good, we all had LINGUINI (what kind of tea is that anyway?) met lala for awhile and we shoe-shopped at tangs! before i went home for dinner with my cousin. and then at night peijun anusha and i went clubbing at zirca. i HATE that place, i probably hate it more than st. james - the crowd is shitty and SO DAMN TOUCHY. guys kept hounding us to dance together, although we did get a complimentary long island tea thanks to one of them. the music was bad, the dancefloor was hot and smelly, and in the end anusha disappeared so peijun and i just sat at macs, eating (thanks to garry's treat), then shifted to the riverside and had heart-to-hearts until the morning came. it wasn't the worst night ever but the post-clubbing was better than the clubbing. which says alot about how awful the club was.
