fragile moments

--

played badminton with the girls on friday, it was extremely fun:) I miss the adrenaline rush when you rally and smash the shuttle. Grace is such a gentle player while Sharon and I are kinda aggressive;)Anyway, so after that, I rushed home to shower and to make my way down to NTU for a second dental checkup. It was a tedious bus ride on 179, as there were so many students, and the bus took so long to make it to can b! paid another exorbitant amount for the dental. at least, the conversations were pretty amusing;)

after that, Yiwen and I went down to Yishun to chill out with Sharon. The coffee break at Starbucks was really awesome. Orange Honey Mocha is much better than its counterpart. And the company was lovely as well:) went on to purchase the 1664 beer that Sharon cannot forget. which reminds me that I shall have it for breakfast tmr:D and then I will have to run on the treadmill. haha

and on sat, the family went out for some light shopping at town. I finally bought my watch! haha, it's from Fossil, and I'm quite happy cause I have always wanted a watch from that shop, but it isn't a leather one..anyway, the family bonding time was great!

Sunday was amazing! My uncle donald and my dad went with us to church!! And as we sipped tea and coffee before going up for service, I told my dad how happy I was with him beside me. He smiled and said, "nice coffee". haha, so funny;)anyway, the speaker for that day was from Canada too, and it was quite a coincidence. (then again, nothing occurs by chance!) the sermon was about the gospel, and I felt that it was a simple yet clear message. I hope the seeds that were sown will start growing!:D

had steamboat as a family for dinner, to celebrate my grandpa and my jie's birthdays. and before that, I went down to my ahma's place a bit earlier to "teach" my two cousins Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". It was very entertaining as we were just sharing about what the play was about and how we felt about the characters. So fun to just be able to talk about Shakespeare's plays with others:D

That is about it for the past week. And today is the start of another week. As we prepare to leave for Korea and Perth, the girls and I decided to take on a market survey job. and as Ronnie had to go to Joo Koon for another job, I was stranded in town. Conducting market survey alone can be entertaining yet super boring at the same time. I felt the happiest when I was observing Harris Bookstore and HMV. I am such a nerd:( Anyway, I had to stop myself from looking at the clothes in F21, if not I would have def. spent more that what I earned. Hopefully, tmr onwards, I will be more productive!

headed off to a proper lunch with Elaine - whom I have not seen in ages - and had lunch at Ichiban in PS. very good conversation and I was just very glad to talk to her. found out more about her life and arranged to meet a second time before Korea.

then, jie treated us to dinner at amk! second steamboat in the week. and realized that I will be having steamboat for a THIRD time this friday. the funny thing is grace is just telling me about her steamboat reunion...

haha, my sis just commented on how long my blog post is. I like how we are just able to sit side by side while doing our respective things, and conversing to each other:)

okay, I think I have put jay chou's song too many times on replay. woah. 17 times.

alright. this is the end of my really long post.

I know I am prone to thinking about questions like what will happen a few months down the road..but this time around, I am quite contented to just see how things go. I guess this time around, I am not really expecting anything.
