Tracing back…

That’s what friends are for.

Huimin
It surprised me that she asked me out for dinner, just when I thought I have been forgotten in the midst of her busy schedule (what the hack… gonna chop her up if she did!). Jokes aside but dinner at Ajisen sure was an eventful one and this girl is still the same - hyper, hyper, and even more hyper. Was it my imagination? But she seems to be more feminine this time round. She can’t wait to fall in love. But no.. she told me would not do that until the right one comes knocking on her door.

Celine
Another ¼ of the LYSS F4 squad. Is this fate or a mere joke? But how come I always see her in the public, walking in front of me? That happened two times in a row last week. Maybe God created these coincidences to remind us that we have not being meeting up lately. Hey Aunty Chan, look behind you! LOL cos who knows? I might appear behind you one of these days… again!


Joyce
It felt rather terrible to see a friend on a hospital bed, looking pale with rashes all over… and that needle that penetrated her skin... ouch. :( Nonetheless, I was reassured to see her smile. Joyce, do get well soon… we want the bouncy, happy, healthy, joyful Joyce back!

I have not seen this friend ever since ‘Finding Neverland’. I’m glad we got to meet up last Saturday for a little hangout. But time flies and soon, it was time to say good bye. Nevertheless, I hope to see her soon. So happy that she seems to be enjoying her art studies at NAFA. Though it is demanding, I think she is learning many new things and I’m sure she will make a great artist / designer!

Back to TP, the place I think I’d most likely miss when SIP gets borrriiinnng…. YAWN…

Upon registration at the SIP launch, each of us was given a gift. The teacher reminded us we are supposed to give that to our supervisor on the first day of our student internship. It was a token of appreciation from our school – YEAH man like real lor - TP manufactured too many of those octopus-looking like shakers and instead of throwing away, students are to give it to their employers.

Even Mr. Mathavan mentioned in front of the lecture theatre – “Please remember to give that shaker to your boss on the first day you reported to work. I know this is very embarrassing (whole room burst into laughter). But if you have more than one boss, it would not be nice to give it only to one of them. So you should know what to do with it. (Throw away? Yes!)”

So, I deliberately left my shaker (the bloody damn embarrassing gift meant for my boss) in the ladies. For Nisha, she ‘accidentally’ left it at Mary Brown’s when we went there for our lunch.

And to Shikin, Happy Birthday in advance. I hope you like the gifts we bought. That birthday song, I know it sounded horrible - worse than the one which the class sang for me the other time. Still, this is what makes everything special. Ha.

Hope the first day of work tomorrow won’t turn out disastrous. Good morning Boss! Here I come!

... seen through it and moved on.

Cough-Cough cough! This place is too dusty!

Ah-hem ~ the last time I blog? It gotta be about a month ago but then many thing happening in the midst when I was absent from the blog. It is so fast that SIP commences on the 21st of this month. May God give everyone the strength to move on.

Sometimes I feel like I couldn’t make it but thinking of a person who inspires me, I would feel awful to give up. How many out there could actually cast away their fears and pursue what they wanted? Who could actually disregard all mistreatments and seek the courage to reach out for what they want?

Looking at him, even a normal person like me feels inferior. Inspired by his undying spirit of perseverance, I think people like us ought not to grumble too much about how unfair life is.

One needs no sympathy as that is the most insulting gift of all. What one needs is encouragement. And that is what people have given him.

Oh yeah and did I tell you I bought the initial-d dvd? Yo man! I was thoroughly too blinded by the excitement of the movie to realized that I have been spending too much. Gotta watch it again before SIP commences.

And then I went back to Loyang sec to visit my teachers for teacher’s day. The school has changed alot after its grand ‘makeover’. Returning back there, I felt a mixture of eagerness and sadness. Eager to see my teachers, sad to be reminded that time flies. Gosh, Madam Quek looked so haggard compared to the last time I saw her, which is about 2 and a half years ago?...
