We met at ard 8.20pm. We went to StarBucks. We bought some drinks. We ordered diff sizes. Tall for u, and grande for me. But end up, both looks de same je.

We left at ard 1.20am. Meaning that we talked for abt 5 hours. I'm surprised we did. We talked abt so much lah.

And to be honest kan, I dont really remember what we talked abt. Maybe it's just me. I'm a guy after all. Im not THAT into details. Maybe u do, and remember almost all that we talked abt. What I DO remember would be de main points.

Not wanting to jump and rush into things. U'd rather us being 'best friends'. U being prepared to open up to me. U telling me all those things, that u've never told any1 b4, let alone a Malay guy. U trusting me not to go ard telling any1 else. I'm touched. Thank you. U hoping that I'd go to Sultan first, so that u could get smthg for me, but in de end u nvr did. I don't mind. A sweet thought indeed. U telling me that I looked cute trying to figure out de combinations to 7 Wonders. And when we were politely told by de StarBucks staff that they were closing, and we were moving to where we moved, u asked me to hold on to The Box, and said to me, 'U hold on to this my dear'. I must admit that smthg stirred in me. Heh.

Insha Allah, we'll reach de common point that we have, my best friend. Ameen.

Quite a lot of things happened yesterday.

First up, as I was otw to somewhere, an sms came in. 'Hello, cn i ask u sumting?'. I didnt recognize de number as I had sent my phone for repairs, so I asked who de person was. It turned out that it was somebody fr sch. So what exactly did she wanted to ask? It was matters of de heart. It wasnt me she was asking abt, thou it'd be great if it was. Haha! It was someone I know. And quite close to, I must say. It didnt matter that she was asking abt him, furthermore for a fren. Girls. Yeah. De things they do, guys just dont get. Including me sometimes. Haha!

She was quite evasive abt it initially. But somehow I was able to guess who her fren is. It's quite easy to see lor. I mean, girls just dont talk abt who they like to ANYONE, right? I see girls nodding as they read this, and guys looking at me with de 'how do u know?' look. Don't ask me how I know. Sometimes, I dont really know how I know stuff. Esp these kinda things. Anyways, to summarize, it turned out that my guess was right after all! All from just knowing that girls dont talk abt who they like to anyone. Cool or what! Haha! If u're reading this, relax, I didnt tell him. I promise I wont k? I wouldnt wanna make things bad. :)

Next was that after putting it off for a long time, I FINALLY went to JB. What's de big deal u may ask? De big deal is their new Customs, Immigrations n Quarantine building. Been hearing stories abt how inconvenient it is and all. Inconvenient as in that there's only two lanes for vehicles to pass thru, compared to many more lanes with de previous CIQ building.

It turned out that de CIQ is damn huge lah! Arriving at de Arrivals halls, it simply wowed me. I wanted to snap a pic of it. But knowing these kinda places are quite sensitive, I actuali asked a guard if I could take a pic. She said no. Looking back, I'm amazed. Amazed cos I asked if I could take a pic. Usually I'd just sneakily take a pic. I dunno why either. And I'm kicking myself for it now. De scene of de Arrivals hall keeps playing in my head as I'm typing this. De closest thing I can compare it to is de T3 at Changi. Smthg like that lah.

And unlike de previous CIQ where it's damn small, I got kinda lost. Was walking here and there for a while. But it was ok. Sometimes de feeling of getting lost itself isnt bad. De experience of smthg new felt nice. I managed to find my way to City Square, and I just window shopped there, like I usually do. FOS is one great shop. Saw many interesting shirts and tees, but had no money to retail therapy there. Haha! One particular shirt I liked was this red, long sleeved Chinese shirt. It's called Qipao, if I'm not wrong. Damn nice lah. RM59.90. In S$ abt less than $30. Worth it, right? Maybe next time I guess. If it's still there. Next wk? 25th? Perhaps. Hehe..

And de toilet there is not bad. Had a slight stomachache, went to de toilet, couldnt hold it any longer, so I relieved myself there. When u gotta go, u gotta go, right? Sempat! Yeah I know. Haha!

As usual de journey back home entails going to Kranji, and like on days where I got sch, I alighted at CCK. Otw to de int wanting to board 172, I remembered Cotton On having this scarf/shawl/throw that I like when I was there last Tue, so off I went there.

Was window shopping there for a while first, when there's this girl who came up to me and started asking me abt shoes. She asked smthg abt de price. I was kinda shocked, but I just said to her that I wasn't a staff. Quite embarrassed, she apologised. From de direction she walked off, I could hear some laughter. Looking in de direction, she was talking to her friend, who was looking at me. I guess she told her fren abt her predicament. Quite a laugh really. I got de Cotton On staff look meh? Sigh..

In de end, I got de scarf/shawl/throw that I wanted, and it was only $1o! I was shocked when de girl behind de counter told me it was $10. De price tag mentioned $19.95. But it somehow escaped me de big $10 sign above de scarfs/shawls/throws. Shocked pun shocked jugak, but dah $10, bagus lah kan? So just paid for it lor.

And de way how I choose which one I wanted was funny lah. As there were many of de same things, I was checking all de scarfs/shawls/throws, almost one by one. Since I'm buying, might as well I really look before I buy, right? There was this one particular piece, which was quite different fr de rest. It was smoother than de rest. It somehow just spoke to me. As if saying, 'buy me Sham. Buy me'. That was de one I have now. Quite a peculiar way of choosing it, for a guy, right? Haha! And when I walked out of Cotton On, there was this one fair by Guardian at de atrium of Lot One. Guess what? I saw shawls! Aiyoh.. I just bought one sia. But it was really nice de shawls there. To cut de story short, I have TWO shawls. You can never have too much of anything, right?

And de next thing I bought was a sweater vest. In black. Thou I already have one, in blue. Black gives more mileage. Can be mixed and match with more colours. That's not to say that blue isnt mixabe. Blue goes well with some colours, and not some other colours. Black goes with almost everything. Justified! Like I said earlier, you can never have too much of anything. Haha! Retail therapy once in a while never hurts. ;)

And lastly, I'm back to blogging. Haha!

Do you hear me
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Insha Allah, best friend. Ameen. :)

Twinkle Tots Graduation. So cute, isnt it? Hehehe..


The real version of the song

It has been a really long time since I blogged. Which I'm so regretting now. Should've updated regularly. But I can't turn back time, so life goes on, yeah. Will just write what I can recall.

First up was de ICAs for de second semester. Both went surprisingly well, I must say. Was surprised when both lecturers said what they said abt it. It was really a challenge doing it. Alhamdulillah :)

On de topic of sch, all de tests I sat for also went well. Didn't really studied much for de first nursing lab skill, and didn't study at all for de second one. How did I pass, u may ask? For one thing, it helped that in nursing lab classes, there was sufficient practice. This was true for me in de second lab skills test. So glad. But I'm just not sure abt de Bio theory paper. Don't think I did well.

De SGH SES Chritmast 'party' was ok. It wasn't really a party, but more of a gathering. Thx to a particular someone, I was waaay late to arrive there. When I was there, I was assigned a particular grp. It helped that Nadiah and Rachel were in de same grp too.

I guess that's all for my ramblings for now. Will try to update regularly, like how I did de last time. :)

9/1/09 2020hr - 10/1/09 ~ 0120hr

The best 5 hours of my life so far. Thx for making it so!

:)



And also thx to those who've helped. Much appreciated indeed.
