Farewell Dinner
Yesterday, I think, would be the last relaxing day I would haf for this semester. what a sad sentence to start with. Lol.....
What we did was ktv in the afternoon, den dinner buffet at Kublai Khan. The five of us, jo,me,ed,wk and wm sang from 2 to 6:30..... I think we sang the snow wolf lake songs until scared of them le... ok, maybe almost scared only. Kublai khan had lots of seafood,... ok not alot but at least they haf some variety of shellfish stuff....i tried my first musscle of my life!!! It was breaded somemore... so it is more 'edible' for me.... yea~~~ juz one though. yk in the end never join us... We went to ed's house after yock came to join us at the mrt... Sel came a few minutes after we reached the house. Throughout the whole night, jo, ed, wk and ed's dad played mahjong til dunno wat time.... with ed as the biggest winner. wk the biggest loser... lol.... meanwhile, me, yock and sel were studying in his room. Apparently I was the first to concuss... the two of them pia thru the night... very powerful.... Later abt 4 plus 5 I gave up studying and chitchat with jo outside and his dad. Later which ed and wk joined us. When his parents went to sleep, while we also tried to do so, wk prevented us from sleeping by 'entertaining' us... until 6am for him to go home.... grrr.... his jokes or maybe not jokes... were too much for us to take... hahahah~~~ (gosh, someone pls save his from his rampant madness and playfulness!!) By the time me and jo woke up, it was 12 noon!! and sel and yock were nowhere to be found!!! ops, again.... and ed was still in bed!!!! we tried to wake him up as he's gonna be later for his outing later but a lazybum he is, he wont bulge a single inch. His parents did a better job in making him wake up. Me and jo chatted with his dad until 1:15pm... and the conversation became mostly abt his engineering work and his past encounters. wow, i was amazed and I tried to follow. i think both jo and ed were blur blur liao. So we bid farewell to his parents then and we headed home while ed had another buffet lunch outing with his other frens.... omg.... I didnt have my lunch and yet i felt damn full lor.... >.<
ok i left half a day to do some work... die... DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!
but still, i agree that work is work, but shldnt neglect ppl ard u.... Last time, i am not like that, instead, more of Heart and Mind of Steel. Now I know work is not the only thing in life, and u shld treasure ppl ard u. So no matter how unaccomplished in my assignments at this moment (note: at this moment only!!), i do not think I will regret the time i spent at home and with my frens :) The real champion is how to balance both between ppl and work. I will aim to that.
hey juli, spam msges again? hahaha.. maybe you can try listing your this blog as private blog loh. Then only those that knows your url or those really really lucky ones will be able to find it... hmm...
Hee.. hav been seeing more of you during this term . :o) Good good! Balance betw work and pple. :o) Hee... no more relaxing day but can at least meet up once in a while for a short meal etc! :o)
