My SON is off to UK again~
haha yep, today ed leaving for UK again.... this time for a longer period of time, 6 mths. Today I woke up earlier than I was for the past few days cos I need to bid for my USP modules. So mum put in effort to wake me up this time too!
I was indecisive wat to take.... finally decided on a funny-sounding module which takes very little points. I suspect 1 pt will be enuff hahaha~~ I was online all the while during the bidding and doing my work at the same time. Ed and Jo was online too... chat with them for a while before they went off. It was around 4:30pm when I was about to prepare stuff to go out that I felt this funny churning of my stomach. Ok... bad stomach... think I ate something wrong this morning or last night - log cake (last piece). hmm~~~ finally set off to changi airport via mrt. I met up ah ba and bro first.... they so petty and complained that they missed the smooth direct transition due to waiting for me....
In terminal 1, we ate and drank stuff at Mr.Bean and Subway. heehee I didnt haf anything for dinner except pearly soya milk drink... muahaha~ Ed came shortly and the teasing began and continued to the departure area. Venki came at this point of time. Chat for a while... His dad so cute and funny, saying some stuff that ed may not haf said before~ so he was 'huh?' all the way. However dunno y but the teasing all directed at me again... wat the..... how can they bully this mum and her son on the same day~~! haaha. ok, ard 8:15pm, ed had to go. This time we didnt keep waving frantically at him... but his dad raised his two arms up and made the victory sign in each hand. So cute~~ den his mum oso very sweet. Rubbed his face and hugged him. Reminded me of last time when I left for the states. But my duration overseas damn short lar, nothing to compare to this. Aww all this scenes were still touching no matter how many times I see them.
After ed left, we went back to terminal 2... me and Jo bought some sweets and choc at a candy shop, and met up the rest nearby at Burger King. Venki ar.... bullied me!!! He became too smart and lame like the other guys liao... shucks.... there goes my chance to bully him to my satisfaction. Ard 9:30pm, we left the mrt station, we had gals talk and guys talk separated. Jo left early at City Hall, so the guys slowly tried to jio me into their conversations which were all lame jokes..... haha~ ok lar, my stomach felt weird again. By the time I reached home, i'm fine liao~ and enjoyed the sweets I bought with my sis. hehee~ ops time to bathe and then do work! muz finish today!
hey... tell me wat did they say!!
