the past couple of nights have been great with good company. popped by ntu for the very first time in my life to visit waiching and shiyun with special missions on hand. then nua-ed in hall 15 as the rain drizzled outside. i was worrying that the fireworks festival would be cancelled or something and ended up still in hall15 at 7pm.

needless to say, despite me abit reluctant to go (cuz no umbrella), i still chionged down to cityhall. and thankfully it only started at 930pm and that we (me choonkeong jianlin xiting weiqi denise) were allowed to entry at 9plus so we still had ample time to eat at carl's jr (i ate the fries and onion rings only).

it was BEAUTIFUL. and we got great seats despite the long flights of steps that we have to take. then there was the camwhoring after the fireworks. me and hweepeng love the singapore flyer!



ytd was agi rehearsal and there's the insistent drizzle (which turned to a downpour at a point of time) throughout the whole event. got amazed by the number of floor-length mirrors that was hung around in dhs. and the bomb-shelter-ish dhsssjab room. i could see the love for the room in the dhs trainees after packing in 71cartons and 14 bottles of water, 25 flags and parade marking sticks into the room.
the official wet weather uniform for AGI08 Vehicular Management personnel (you can choose with or without poncho)

basket was my word of the day yesterday. not that i'm pissed off though. though there wasn't much things to do, the chats with the otc ppl still made my day better. (but not the teasings please)

dinner was in holland v with the smallest number of instructors to date. me qj siying william mrtan. was talking nonsense again. yy called me after dinner and we had hilarious moments when i'm passing william's comments to yy and the realisation of the perfect song for poc. thanks to william who offered to drive me to serangoon mrt. but not-the-packing-__-to-celine-will make-me-sad-part (celine called when i asked her where to meet via sms).

met up with celine eddison kwangyew xiaoqiang wanzhen (all PUB scholars) at serangoon mrt station and we took a longgggg time to decide on where to go. finally settled for ahchew's dessert and we took 100. passed by Grand Ballroom, 420 Beach Road along the way.

ahchew's was renovated and i didn't realised it until ytd. it was bigger with another room and guess what, i saw wong huijie! ohmygosh. he was wearing all white and i went omg when he came into the room. (with a girl, no less)

after ahchew, we went over to the 来来红烧牛肉面 cuz eddison kept wanting to eat it. but we just stood there and pondered on where else to go. decided to go Paradiz Centre to play pool. xiaoqiang left at then (wanzhen left earlier). we ended up at some nearby pool shop though. seems like guys are always the pro ones in pool! but celine does have some flair in pool.

played until 1am before we walked back up past bugis junction to draw money at cheers and then settled down at a nearby coffeeshop. the rest ate and after eating we camwhored with celine's earrings. (: and we talked and talked. celine i'll consider getting a microphone soon so that we can skype okay.




in the cab back home we started singing school songs.

Northland, our beloved school
To you we pledge our loyalty
Together we will grow
Strong, steadfast and honest
Here we learn to face challenges
Here we strive to do our best to excel
To you we pledge our loyalty
For Singapore, for Northland
And us

kwangyew thought it was Do you we pledge our loyalty and we forgot the last few lines. before that we were arguing whether the nasi ayam back in northland was 60cents or 80cents. he claimed 80 while i claimed 60. deflation?! and celine was like is there really so many things to talk about northland? kwangyew's answer was hilarious.

Ever onward, Andersonians
Always ready to go
With constancy and purpose
To failure we'll say no
Progress is what we aim for
Success is in our sight
So marching forward, never backward
Our future will be bright

there's the second verse but we shall skip that. lastly it was the RI school song.

it was fun in the cab when i kept attacking eddison (read: tickling) and celine complained cuz eddison's reflex reaction will hit her. hoho.

and we didn't drink at all! kwangyew was saying go chill and have drinks. ha. i want chivas with greentea!

oh i missed the ndp08 outing! all because of my aching shoulder. )))))):

the time is ticking, and i know i will really really miss celine. i'll probably bring a towel as promised. (:

i'm boggled with the raw mix of emotions. a myriad of events have unfolded (and are still unfolding) in the short span of the past few days and i don't know how exactly to deal with them. let nature take its flow. and i pray it will not come true.
