Hi…. I haven’t been blogging for quite some time I guess… on Friday night, I went to the restaurant in Pan Pacific(the hotel) called hai3 tian1 lou2 … it’s a Chinese restaurant and the food is quite nice…. Yum… and the ambience there and all the furnishing is really nice.. beautiful… if you had seen the pan pacific building, u will notice on 37th storey there is a circular thing jutting out of the building , that is where the place is located… then on Saturday, we realized that my uncle was also at Pan Pacific.. its just that he was downstairs in the jap restaurant, eating sashimi and beef….
Then on Saturday I didn’t go for the greensplat meeting… so sorry….
On Sunday, I watched the movie: Big Fish and added slides in the big fish ppt… I kept repeating and fast forwarding and it made me so groggy…. I also went to ah ma’s house for lunch b4 that.. after that, da jie wanted to go to her bf’s house and my er jie and I kept whining that we want to go also.. we even sms him to inform him that we r going… but in the end… we didn’t go .. sad or what
Today is quite an unlucky day for me. As I walked out of my house, it started drizzling.. so I thought that its not a big matter and so I continue walking.. then when I was crossing the road to the bus stop, the rain started to rain until siao.. downpour… then I ran and ran until I finally reach the shelter of the bus stop.. when I reached the bus stop, sheena(who is already safely and snugly standing there), was laughing at me… I was completely DRENCHED…. We went up the bus and b4 I reach the card reader, the lady in front of me accidentally thrust her WET and DRIPPING umbrella at me and went , “ Opps.. sorry”…
When I reached the school, shermaine brought dina, yee lin and I to see the mulan poster that they have put up …. Go shermaine… she looked cool and look like someone from Matrix with her dark shades…. Haha … but it really seem nice with all the bad guys there…
There was p4t in the lecture theatre in the morning and sock, meiting and I were arguing about statements( premises and conclusion) and whether they were sound and valid… then may and I created the Tan foundation and later she created another club called tan ah tan … then dunno what … haha
Then someone confessed that she knew the **** cycle of my idol… pervert :) but feel free to tell me her ****** and her home phone no.. I still remember the bet… *evil laughter*
And during the next half of the session, we were asked to make an assumption.. meiting and I made a sentence: a tee says that the Chinese test is hard and therefore the Chinese test is hard. Haha .. we were laughing at her standard of Chinese earlier on.. so bad right… but nvrmind ..
Then it was story telling elective.. there is a story that triggers back childhood memories ... the days where my cousins and I played at the empty space beside my ah ma’s house…. The forming of colorful tongue group by my er jie, my gor(cousin) and I .. Our group name was colorful tongue group because we were eating push pops or don’t know what pop and our tongues were of different colors and thus the group name was formed.. we even have a group anthem( to the tune of Popeye the sailor man) , a pledge, a flag and other emblems… as we grew older, we even formed a squad and we will take turns to be the commander, the flag raiser and the one-man squad each Saturday when our official meetings were held… those were really memories… we have drifted apart ( my paternal cousins) and things can never be the same anymore.. we hardly even speak to one another except exchange causal greetings … you can hardly believe we are the mad bunch who always stick together and you won’t imagine that those kids ( and some teenagers and adults) ,who were playing a e I o u and passing the message and other games are us , the so distant us.. the feeling is not there anymore.. it just can’t be explained , except to accept it as a passing stage in my childhood or my life..
Actually… do I really have a childhood? Mrs. H*ng asked us to relate incidents from childhood and it really set me thinking.. what exactly is significant in my childhood.. to me, my childhood is only the age between the time you were born to around six years old.. When you started attending nursery in the age of 4, the “childhood” has started o fade off, and when you reach the age of seven, you can bid farewell to the child in you and welcome the stiff competition and the accumulating stress….. the innocent era has passed .. it was really a short short era and the era of the mouse race had started and it will continue till your early twenties…. And imagine it … your only source of pleasure for twenty years is getting good results and winning Ahmad or ah seng next door and bagging the first place where you so smugly strutted up the stage to receive a book voucher… you call it bliss??? And without knowing, you enter the work force, the era of the rat race … this is when true competition started and underhand and dirty methods were used so widely that you too believe its ok to use them….it again is the routine time table.. waking up at 7 am , and go home at 5pm… and your real sense of satisfaction surfaced when you receive your paycheck and you immediately dash to orchard road and buy the lovely LV bag you have been eyeing for the past month.. And you will be so happy… you call it life??? Then at the age of sixty the era of old age came creeping by, and there you are, waiting to fade off from earth and sits there all the time reminiscing the past and saying things like, “ if I was still young I will….” Too bad... no time for regrets because its time to leave and tata you are off…. IS THIS REALLY WHAT WE PURSUE IN LIFE? That remains a one huge question mark… wow i wrote 1,105 words ..
