Farewell Dinner
(PS:hey mei, i replied ur comments to the previous blog~)
Hmm this morning mum woke me darn early.... lol cos she didnt know wed (yesterday) was my last day of work... is she blur, forgetful or I didnt tell her properly. So I had to mumbled to tell her i do not haf to work today and she tot it is juz another sleep talking and thus wont believe me, until my sis was awakened by the noise and told her wat i am saying is true.
Woke up ard 9 plus to set up my PC and laptop.... but of cos not complete still... In the afternoon met up some fren to get some stuff b4 loitering ard in city hall area... i walked thru city link, into suntec.... the whole process was so slow..... feel so bored and sian.... everyone ard me walking by rushing by talking by. everything was so vacant... so light.... time was so insignificant then.... I doesnt know wat to look for, wat to see, wat to find... no destination....
In citylink, near the end, got this Jap shop named KoKon Tonzai beside the expensive paper shop. Ying told me abt the shop where she bought a mini bag for her fren. So I went in to look ard... pretty cool... so are the prices.... Their stuff are very nice, nice fabric... They oso haf very nice keychains~~ on top engraved with chinese character each. Got "Joy", "Dream", "Love", etc etc..... ranging from 14.90 to 18 ++ bucks... pretty expensive for a keychain but they look exquisite. very nice... can consider giving them as little gifts for frens.
Went in suntec to look at tables in Courts... Sadly none is close to wat i want.... seems i haf to go get ikea one.... oh but i spotted a nice dining set with very cool dining chairs!! Love it! And looking at the price tag, it said 1,299 or is it 1499, cant remember but wooo~~ not too bad? dunno. but comparing to the others, this is one of the more exp ones.
Walking back to city link/ city hall mrt.. loitered in MPH before going to Tanjong Pagar to meet up with Ying and together went to meet the office ppl and had Jap dinner in a Jap resturant on the other side of the road. So sinful, we are like monsters... ate up so much food.... they juz keep coming in lor, as if they cost nothing.... tasted very nice delicacies~~ hehe and took photographs, will post them up another time.
I realised that i always hear ppl wrongly... many many times, even the thai guy said that. The thai lady said she wan green tea ice-cream. Her articulation of english words of cos not accurate but well.... anyway, i tot she said "twenty" ice-cream. green tea= twenty. hmm, actually sounds abit the close rite? well.... is there some cells in my brain that are damaged? why am i unable to catch wat ppl saying many times? esp hear wrongly.... i think i need to scan my brain lol.....
Die, ate so much, so i am determined to go jogging tml! No matter I am alone or managed to pull some ppl to jog, I HAf to jog. I MUZ jog!!!!
ok, i better go and do up a poster for a fren, deadline tml morn.... die... cya all~
