If Only A Day Has 24Hrs More

 

 

I could have choose to miss out everything in hall for a more peaceful academic life but I chose otherwise. I keep telling myself, it’s only for a year and I’ll move on to my studies. I don’t know why but I keep missing home recently.

Kayaking was quite fun as a hall activity. Somehow it reminds me of the times when I was secondary 3. That was long time ago when I participated OBS expedition. Ha. Only now with a different group of people.

There were still many lame things that are done in university. I used to think the older you are, the less lame stuff you do. Somehow, not exactly true.  Perhaps, it’s a temporary phase to go through knowing that once you step into the working world, you wouldn’t even dream of the chance of acting stupid or doing lame things with your colleagues. Ha.

I’m thankful of my friends for celebrating my birthday especially Jeremy. =) Thanks! I was only thinking why would JCRC hold monthly meeting on a Thursday which usually will fall on Wednesday. I didn’t even think that Jeremy will call Baohui down too. Haha. The jacket that I’m wearing in the photo is the present. Oots. My first Adidas jacket then. Haha. Oh by the way, thanks for the wishes, Ruth. =)  

I was also surprised that Baohui took me to this place called Keppel By The Bay where there were a few restaurants by the seaside. It’s an island near Harbourfront. The best thing of all was that the cab driver didn’t even know where it is. The place looks very posh and there were many yachts docked to the harbour. Someday I’m going to park mine! That is if I manage to earn that much. Waha. Everything starts with a dream :)

The restaurant that I thought we were going to dine at isn’t really a restaurant at all. It’s a gastro bar. The food’s nice actually. Look at the strawberries! (YUM!) However, it would be weird not to order any liquor at a bar. So we ordered some orange flavoured liquor which really tasted weird.

It had been a long time since I felt that relaxed. Thanks for the surprise. I really love it lots.

Valentine’s day celebration was fun too. This time round had to bring change of clothing. Kind of troublesome but oh well… There’s always a first time for everything. Ha. Literally toured from west to east and to central before returning to west again. Taxi fares were of course not any much lesser than other expenses. Lol. I think I need canvassing for my wallet too. Ha.

I think the simplest surprise can be really sweet as well. Something she gave me really touched me to the core of my heart. =) I had not expected that coming.

Someday I hope I can close my eyes and listen. To really listen for the gentle calls of the heart. Even without words, being in the company of each other is enough for the souls. =)

I wish the best for all my dear friends too. Hope you all had a fulfilling time with your dear friends and families and spending meaningful moments together.
