It has been a very tired 24 hours for me

Last night went out with P. It' has been a long time since we do this kinda hang out thing. How come like that, I also don't have a specific answer. I think she is afraid that I am very busy doing assignments and exams and classes. And I always give her excuse that I don't want to hang out with the others. She is also quite busy with her work.

So, thanks to a friend who restored my life back to normal again on Thursday, I was in quite a cheery mood yesterday. In fact, I was very open to hang out with anyone, cos my dress code yesterday was a ready-to-hang-out kinda dressing. Not sloppily moody basically. So when P. msn me and invite me to hang out, I readily accepted the invitation.

So we had dinner at one of the Char Can Ting at Liang Seah St and then walked down to Marina Mandarin, the intention was to head to the Atrium Lounge to listen to music, like we used to do. However, along the way, both of us were distracted by the stores lined along our paths and ended up spending money before we reach the lounge. It is one of those rare times we do girls thing like that. You know, shopping. Our common activities are movies, suppoer, karaoke, clubbing, eating... Not much time to do girlie things like that. So it was nice :)

The band has changed at the lounge. The old band recognises us, because we always request for songs. Now the place is more high-class, no more song request service liao. However, there was a lady soprano singing when we reached there. The environment was nice and comfy, as we chat and talk about things and people concerning us.

We left after they've finished playing the last set. The band members know us by then, cos we were the ones who clapped after every song. And then slowly, others follow suit. And because we were seated on the same level as the stage, they acknowledged us whenever we clap.

I am so glad that P. and I spend this quality time together. She is one of those IRC people I have met collectively within a period, who have restored my confidence on meeting people online. They provided me with genuine friendships that stood the test of time.

It's 50/50 chance that we will get to do this again after her ROM later this year, though I am quite confident the bf is more assured when she is with me then when she is with the beer-drinking people.

I am just happy that I can add this night to my collection of memories.

I was suppose to use some shaw vouchers to redeem movie tickets to watch "CARS" with sis and family. But the ticket was not to be found at where I thought it has always been. Thus, there was a mad search around my room for the tickets, but the search was in vain.

I was angry with myself. I was freakin' angry with myself. How could I assumed it was there? Why didn't I check? Did I left it in the office? Where can it be? Why didn't I put it in a more trustworthy place? Why am I so forgetful?

I had to leave the house without the tickets. "Maybe I'll recall where I left it on the bus." It was just 15 mins before the show starts. So I paid for the 5 tickets $9.50 x 5 =$47.50 So freakin' expensive!

The movie was good, though I wouldn't say that the girls enjoy it very much. I guess cars is just a boys thing. Hmm... Oh well. Money spent already. No turning back.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Guess who I bumped into when I bought the tickets.



Yep. Isn't he (Orlando Bloom lah!) cute? :)~~~ Oops, sorry, is that my saliva on your keyboard? :)~~

Before we head home, we saw little Ethan Ong outside Taka getting ready to play his drums. Naturally, the girls were very curious and hmm... Let's say they are "very interested" to see how this little talent plays his drums. Ethan was fantastic. I mean, for a 7 year old, he really has a knack for the instrument. I am sure when he gets older, he will have be sought after by Hillsongs to be the drummer or something. Maybe then, Hillsongs is already out of fashion. Steven Curtis Chapman? Audio Adrenaline? Newsboys? (I know, I am mentioning old names liao :P)

Dropped to bed to take a nap when I reached home. So tired. Woke up and went to Lai Lai Restaurant with sis & family, and ma and pa to have our dinner.



I thought the place was quite a nice one to have dinner. Food court prices, not too bad food, and most important of all, we get to seat outside the restaurant, which is the open area of the building. Quiet, breezy, cooling and not so crowded. We all agree we should come here more often for dinner. A very very nice place for a simple and quiet dinner.

So here I am. Now writing the blog. Still can't believe i have misplaced the tickets. I would be very grateful if I find them in the office next Monday. If not... I think I will have to turn the room upside down to look for it. There's Taka vouchers in there too. Plus the $60 Nail Palace vouchers bought on May Day that I have been saving for use on weddings at the end of the year.

They BETTER be in the office.
