My days in Singapore.
Some things I don't want to forget:
My dad and brother at the airport to receive me, despite it being a sudden arrival.
My brother instantaneously offering to carry my luggage (where did the uncouth argumentative brother go to?!)
Splendid jap cuisine the night I touchdown.
Being singled out by Tjow at church camp - him claiming that I came down specially to be makeup artist for talent night.
Mending the score board at church camp (urgh, so Vanna White-ish).
Salsa 2A the night I came back from church camp.
Aimless car rides in the middle of the night.
Playing silly boardgames at Settler's Cafe Clark Quay.
Playing silly boardgames with ever so entertaining John the blonde.
Famous meesiam and nasipadang with Sheryl who treated! :)
Teaching rollerblading down at ECP.
Not providing much support at that, what with my intermittent yells of 'Don't grab me, now's not a good time!' ;p
Getting 5 rows of blisters on my right ankle.
Yongtaofu, kwaychap and taohueyzhui.
Cosying up with rentals with the ECG.
Meeting the ECG 5 times in 3 days.
Geylang taoheuy, youchakuey and some cool floss egg bun.
Nights up planning future holiday trips with friends.
Latenight salsa-ing.
Latenight chats.
Latenight majong sessions.
Latenight everything, practically.
Amusing drum er..lesson?
Nightsafari-ing.
Wanting to throw stones at the flying squirrel so that it would show us some action.
The bat enclosure.
Chaitaokuay, bbqstingray, satay and coconut.
Nasilemak breakfast with the bestie from London.
Shopping frenzies (or rather, frenzy).
Taro milk tea, takopachi and mangguobing.
Meeting so3b!
Ending up at Swensen's again, no thanks to the halal and vegetarian *coughs.
Ending up playing silly games at the area amicably known as 'thebluelightsplace'.
Charkwayteow, chickenrice, fishballnoodle, rojak and sugarcane.
The special visitor who brought me supplements to continue my latenights.
The rain drenching my latenight cycling plan, resulting in me getting pangseh-ed right outside the bike shop, resulting in my high spirits getting drenched too.
Andrew calling to tell me that his gang were jogging all the way from Bedok to ECP to meet me still, thus immediately lifting my spirits.
Durian-ing with the lucky quadruple.
Bidding the church peeps farewell at the MRT (it sure did feel like we were at the airport for a split second).
My lil' scandal's long&hugebearhug.
Pulau Ubin cycling with the family.
Getting all muddied in the earth trail.
Changi village nasi lemak, otah, bakchormee, wantonmee and limejuice.
Seeing Steff in her hot corporate work clothes.
At Cafe Cartel having food anonymously delivered to our table because of Ms Yenghong :)
Having the adrenaline rush at the arcade with Rebec, Steff and Yenghong!
Li Gui (Ah Hoi) Restaurant-ing with Popo (which implies savouring Mum's favourite yam basket and my favourite orhnee).
Chancing upon Eunice there (of all places)!
The Roti Prata House with the dad.
Scheming with the brother.
Hanging out with the brother.
Combing Esprit with the brother ;p
Swimming with the mother.
Talking 'bout recipes with the mother.
Lying on the bed talking with the dad.
Witnessing a different side of that father figure.
Wow, I just realised that's a sizeable list. No doubt I'm very satisfied with my 3 week break in Singapore. Feels like I've made full use of my holiday - done all that I've wanted to do, and even read a bk and experienced a few surprises in between! Looks like planning in advance has reaped its benefits!! Whee.
Now it's back to Melbourne to do some studying before the midsem. I haven't touched my books at all the past 3 wks (woe to me for that), but I'm all determined to study like mad when I arrive at Melbourne! I think I've gotten enough lovin' to spur me on! :)
