the previous friday: we had a belated birthday meetup for angeline! like finally. and everytime i see her we seem to be eating thai express ((((: but i always love the food there anyway so it is awesome.
the sunday after that was kickboxing! and then we had POKER again with the boys. this time clement was the biggest loser unfortunately, and chase was once again the biggest winner with the huge jackpot! i won a nett amount of $1 hahahaha. after which i proceeded to spend all my pathetic winnings (and much of my paycheck) on treating my family to dinner at sushi tei. it was YUMMYLICIOUS. i loveeee that place.
then there was that tuesday night dinner at oriole cafe! with the nj babes. a pre-birthday dinner treat (((: i had beef cheek tagliatelle which, despite its appearance and hype, was not that fantastic although it was still pretty delicious. and we had our customary round of beers! before talking till really late and trying to take silly jump-shots in the empty lobby of pan-pac service suites. really appreciated the effort because EVERYONE was so busy and tired with work/exams/projects. love the girls!
wednesday was yet another dance rehearsal at the arcade! and kenneth surprised me with a small but yummy blueberry cheesecake ((((: i had absolutely no idea it was coming, when everyone was singing the birthday song i HONESTLY THOUGHT it was someone else and was looking around for the person while singing along too.
thursday night was my birthday and COINCIDENTALLY it was also my team outing! so it was really good to take a break from work for awhile! (: there was freeflow alcohol and little snacks, and quite a few a1s who turned up. the alcohol made me pretty high so i was a happy trooper! and very amiable about everything. i remember giggling very happily to my seniors.
friday was ktv and a round of left4dead with huiyun peijun and yixiang! they were very sweet to buy me a cake, and peijun chose a FANTASTIC ONE it was so damn good, chocolate mousse or something from 4 leaves. there were only four of us and the cake was fairly big but we FINISHED IT ALL within 2 hours. i think yixiang ate the most, he kept chopping slices in between singing and gobbling. and everyone's singing was hilarious especially when it came to rubbish songs like britney spears and taxi in calcutta, there was plenty of jumping on sofas and grooving around!
last saturday we had dance rehearsal again! after lunch i went to find meizi and shimin in town to shop, but our shopping only lasted two hours because we were all so damn tired. in the end we had more fun sitting and having prata, and gossiping away at the foodcourt! afterwards i ended up playing BBG with honghan suyi and kenneth, and having prata supper in thomson.i have also started yoga on tuesdays! and it is very chilled and relaxing, i can feel every muscle completely stretching. sometimes i am almost tempted to fall asleep but some of the moves are extremely difficult. but fab, i can feel my posture improving instantly. i know people think i am ridiculous to commit to yoga on tuesday evenings when i am expected to work OT but i HAVE to have a semblance of work-life balance, i don't mind working later on mondays and wednesdays if it means i just get home for yoga on tuesdays. so far so good, the plan is working.
yesterday night germaine, suyi, kenneth and me had dinner! and then we went to watch 2012. it was ... very catastrophic and morbid and solemn, but the visual effects were excellent and it wasn't half as bad as i expected it to be. sadly all the cute guys (russian pilot, indian scientist) all died and germaine and i became very sad. HAHAHA. afterwards we drove to bedok 85 and had chicken wings and our favourite, hot TEH!
and finally: today was dance rehearsal again, we are all finally getting along and making new lovely friends, having lunch together and chitchatting. and in awhile i must go out to meet meizi shimin cindy for dinner (: so i think i should take a nap NOW.
