going out everyday (and lots of other things)
I've been going out every day this week! Some days were spent going to more than one place too. Gym on Monday, KTV and caregroup on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, my parents' shop in the morning, lunch with Kah Ming at Pasir Ris, and then dinner at Great World with SHET (Sheena Hannah Esther Tracy) at night.


Today was spent at Orchard, and I'm glad we didn't go shopping because I want to save up now and I'd have been tempted! I've spent quite a lot this holiday, I'm afraid. :P

Pigged out at the Food Fest at Taka:




After that we took neoprints:

I realised my scanner is not very good :\

But I really like the prints we took today :D Everything is extremely girly and sparkly and pink huh. I like taking neoprints because they magically erase zits and spots on your face; now I realise that they also seem to magically erase tummies xP I haven't taken neoprints for so long, really brings me back to those days...

Hannah had to go off to meet her friends for dinner, and Liz's dad wanted her home early (very early flight tomorrow morning) so the two of us went back to her house...where I watched her pack while we listened to a sermon and played with her curling tongs (with not-so-good results). The amazing thing about the sermon was, the tracks were all jumbled up and yet it all made sense! Haha was it some sort of divine intervention, or were we distracted by other things? At one point we thought the sermon was over - there was a long period of silence - and then we heard Pastor's voice again, which was kind of freaky! Then I realised it must have been because the previous track had been the original last track of the sermon, and for some reason, intsead of the track ending after the last word had been uttered, there was a long silence. After the long silence finished, the music player continued playing the next track as per normal.

Hannah joined us sometime later and we somehow ended up talking about primary school. Having met up with different groups of people this holiday, I've realised that we always tend to reminisce about the past, depending on how and where the group got together. With the Awesome Foursomes and Anti-Socialites, it would be JC; with Monash people, er, Monash; with the other church and/or primary school - since most of my close friends from church were from my primary school. Inevitably, someone would say, "Remember that time...?" It's as if we're always trying to relive the good times of the past, and the shared history and memories tie us together.

This time we talked about our time in P5. I remembered how a friend of mine told me she used to get jealous when our form teacher Mr Ng (then our English-cum-Science-cum-Maths teacher) always read my compositions aloud in class instead of hers. (I think she writes way better than me now, though.)

Liz said she remember a time when we had to write a compo based on the continue-the-story format. The introduction turned out to be something about a unicorn. According to Liz, Mr Ng said everyone ended their stories with the conclusion "it turned out to be a dream" but mine had a different ending and hence it stood out. My 'exceptional' compo was SIX pages long and Mr Ng actually "read and read and read and read and in the end everyone got bored and started talking". I find it supremely amusing now that when I was 11 I wrote a six-page compo about a unicorn. And even more that Mr Ng actually read the whole damn thing to the class!!!

Liz also said she remembered that my ending was something that went:

The girl asked the unicorn, "You promise you'll come back?"

Unicorn: "I promise."

And then the unicorn flew out of the window.

I was laughing like mad the whole time she was telling me about this!! Hannah also talked about how Mr Ng praised Liz's handwriting once - "The 'e's look exactly the same!" I find this supremely amusing as well!! P5 was easily the best year in my entire academic career. I don't think anything else in my school life will ever come close.

Later, during a late dinner/supper cooked very nicely by Liz's mom, we started crapping about transferring fat from the stomach to another part of the female anatomy (again, use your dirty imaginations ( )( ) Only we forgot that her 21 year-old brother Robin was in the same room as us watching TV (Channel NewsAsia some more)! At one point we realised that we had unwittingly caught his attention.

"Did I hear wrongly?" he said.

"Oh, sorry, we forgot you were here," replied Hannah.

I find this really amusing as well. I think he must have been surprised to find out that his sister and her friends actually talk about this kind of things. Gosh, if we girls talk about things like that, I don't think I wanna know what guys talk about when they think they're alone!! XP
