Back at home..

Yesterday, with Cheryl's dad driving me back, I evacuated from home finally. Now's home sweet home. But tomorrow, I'm leaving for Cambodia. Somehow, I wasn't really that excited. In fact, I'm a bit worried, but I guess, everything will be ok after the first two days. Went a lot of places today. First, met up with Cheryl, Nana and B1 at Beach Road to buy Nana's backpack (which is exactly the same as mine, but she got a better bargain), B1's slippers and other small stuff. For this trip, I really bought a lot of stuff. Haha. Hopefully, I can go travelling more often, then what I've bought will be more worthwhile. Then we proceeded to Peninsular Plaza to buy B1's backpack. After that, we went to Bugis to meet JY to go Sim Lim to buy her mp3 player. With Nana's electronic knowledge and B1's bargaining skills, she managed to buy a 1GB Iriver for $260 which was really worth the money. Actually, while we were walking from shops to shops, I was tempted to buy a mp3 player too. But in the end, I concluded that I wanted to buy because everyone else has one, and not really because I need one. Yes, bus journeys can be boring and tiring, but I can always sleep. Haha.

When we went home, me and JY went Kino to browse at books where I found a "Coxford Singlish Dictionary". I thought it was very bad to publish such books because it encourages people to use Singlish even more often, if not, more "fluent". From the first few pages, I've already "learnt" a lot of new Singlish terms. It really waste the government's efforts of promoting "Speak Good English" campaign.

I met up with my good old friends, Huiwen, Suyi and Zhongrui, for dinner. We went to Cafe Cartel to eat. For don't know what reason, the service today was very bad. We had to wait for quite some time before our next order comes. Even though so, I had a great time chatting with them. It's really the company that makes the difference. I'm glad to keep in close contact with them after so many years. Unknowingly, I've known them for 8 years. They are really my best buddies, I can always easily talk to anyone of them about anything under the sun. None of us has changed much, except maybe physical appearance. I'm just glad to see them before I leave for Cambodia. Gosh, I really don't know when will my next post be. Till next time......
