:: An unique weekend ::It was such a unique weekend.. enjoyed myself thoroughly... ************************** Saturday 080706It was our Ex Ubin trip. Though the turn out was lesser then expected.. onli the 6 of us turned up for the excursion.. but it is still as memorable...We were all late, except for V and CC. They were there the earliest, with CC buying 2 loaves of raisin bread.. with the kind thought that we will be hungry during the trip, and we may want to hve it. (but onli W had it.. the rest was fed to the fishes.. in a pond.. hmmm.. though CO did bite a piece.. ) i arrived slightly later, then came S and CO. W was the last to arrive, and was sought to taking a cab to changi and meet us there instead.. I thought i was dead, crammed in between 2 couples.. argh.. but.. well.. it din turn out ot be too bad.. though i did miss dear throughout the trip.. possible scenes of us cycling together passed me by most of the time.. well.. its okie.. we will have more trips together...cycling all round ubin wasnt easy.. there were slopes ALL around.. and of course.. CO was complaining throughout.. (expected) but we all enjoyed the down slope.. there were times where i couldnt make it at all, and has to push my bike all the way up the slope.. but V will always be at the back, ensuring that all of us are doing ok. Actually, i was pretty impressed by V's gestures. Though it is CO who is always at the back and not CC, but.. he was at the back most of the time, to ensure that no one drop out, and was left behind. That is something my dear cant do.. and has to be reminded.. ha ha.. i am very impressed by his maturity.. CC is blessed.. ha ha..Well, we stop by many places, most temples.. and some nice scenery of the quarry.. nice to just sit there and rest and enjoy the scenery.. It ended by ard 5pm plus.. then we went off to the new Newton Circles for dinner..Went home with tired legs.. soo tired that i fell aslp almost immediately.. ******************************************Sunday 090706Woke up late, after a late night of soccer.. Dint catch all, snippets here and there.. had breakfast, and we headed down to queensway shopping centre.. well, i thought there will not be anyone.. but queensway was packed with pple.. i was stunned! I bought a pair of running shoes, and a jacket.. and my brother bought a t-shirt.. wow.. though it is just 3 items.. we took ard.. 3 hours to get it all done... Well, i have to applaud my brother to have patience to shop with me.. ha ha.. it took quite some time to buy my shoes and jacket.. and he din complain! wow.. my brother is a SNAG man..get to my granddad's place.. and my grandfather was bored.. becos my uncles were not there to play with him.. so, the younger generation was deployed instead.. so, me, my brother and my cousin was playing with my grandfather.. it took us 4 hours! Longer then the previous time i played with A, S and C. ha ha.. my grandad was just tooo cautious.. or maybe he can read tiles better then us! We may be just ignorant! He is very observant.. he seems to know which card you want, and he will not release the card! Interested game! and it ended at ard 12.30am! ha ha.. sooo late..went home.. well, it is into the 10th already.. so my family was there to wait for us to be back to blow my cake! So sweet.. my mum and youngest bro waited for us to be back.. it was ard 1am plus by then.. watched soccer.. on and off.. sometimes when it is interesting, will sit up and watch.. and after a while, just dozed off.. too bad France lost.. and sad ending for Zidane.. haiz.. France players look so upset.. haiz.. my heart goes out to them..************************Monday 100783The day is here.. many of my friends wished me birthday greetings...Vincent was one of the first.. YX too.. My insurance agent (maybe he wants more business from me.. ha ha).. my god-sis... Uma.. WB.. SJ and Chiam.. Even my ex-Boss remembers!! ha ha.. that is just so nice. Though there werent a lot of pple wishing me ... but.. i am glad that there are at least some pple who remembers..At ard 10am plus.. i received a phone call stating that there is something for me.. and asked me which room in NIE i was in.. as i was still in class, i was unable to ask in details, but just give the room number and block.. after that i became suspicious.. i was thinking if dear will send me flowers.. and i din really wan the whole class to "wow" at me when i receive the flowers.. so i called back and enquired what was the item.. (and they introduced themselves as "courier services") well, they mentioned that their driver has not received the item, and is not sure what the item is.. stating that they are just the delivery centre.. or something.. then.. when i asked who was the sender.. they apparently managed to skip the question as well.. hmm.. then it set me off thinking if it is still flowers, or is it just something else...i wasnt paying attention in class at all.. everytime someone opens the door, i will look out, and was very distracted throughout the whole day.. well, class ended at 1600 hrs.. and the "thing" is still not here yet.. so i guess, better call and get them to send home.. becos i dun wan to wait in school.. so.. called and get them to send to my house instead..At ard 5pm.. they send it to my place.. and "WALA" it is a bouquet of flowers.. 25 of yellow roses.. (dear says he send yellow roses becos he send red roses before.. hmm.. i wonder if there are any meaning to the colour of the flowers.. but i couldnt care less..) was very touched.. emotional when i recieved it.. it was a pleasant surprise.. Noticed that on the remarks section of the delivery order, was.. "NIE. PLS DO NOT REVEAL ITEM & SENDER, AND TRY TO GO BY 4PM. RECIPIENT IS ON COURSE. PLS CALL JOANNE." then i understand.. .. ha ha.. it is a real pleasant surprise! thank you dear!*******************************************well.. thought it is not an exciting birthday.. but.. i guess.. the effort counts.. dear couldnt be with me.. but he send flowers.. my family waited for me to blow the birthday cake.. friends send in blessings.. well.. just reminds me that i still have friends and pple who loves me.. that counts.. I did not set any expectations for my birthday.. i just spend the rest of the day at home.. well.. birthday comes and goes.. i shouldnt set such high expectations that will end me with me upset instead.. right?For now, i am a happy ger. Thank you everyone!! = )********************************************There is one thing to celebrate for.. It has been a year since dear is overseas. 1 year and 1 day already.. well.. half the battle is fought and won.. i hope we wil continue to fight togther for the other half of the battle.. another 12 - 14 more months to go, before he comes back for good.. And maybe 4 more months before we see each other again.. maybe during October.. the peak holiday period.. hope he can come back.. or i can go over.. or we can go somewhere together.. till then~
