Countdown to Year 2006

On 31 Dec 05, I met Qin Yi at 1630 and sat at Coffee Bean for coffee while waiting for Choo Hui & Brian. They didn't turn up and I left to meet Ai Tian & Lin Run for dinner at Pizza Walker at 1745hrs. The food was average for that price. Somehow, I still prefer the thick cheese crust of Pizza Hut that I grew up eating. Anyway, Ai Tian made the following comment, "I thought that you are with XXX for a few months already." I was in shock. It wasn't true.

We then went to the "red cafe" (i dunno the name but it is red) in cineleisure for dessert. Sat around and chatted a bit. I was still disturbed by Ai Tian's comment. Haha... Anyway, we left at 2040 hrs as I had to get to Liang Wei's house at Cactus Drive (I quote Hiang Kiat, "Niao Bu Shen Dan, Gou Bu La Shi De Di Fang") for JC class gathering. Qiu Li, Ting Jun, Xin Ru, Candice, Chun Xin, Hiang Kiat, Wei Chee, Wei Li, Wendy, Yee Fong and Rex were present.

We played some forfeit games outside the mph while waiting for 2006 to arrive. I also got another stunner when Bok said, "XXX, don't go lah. Kenneth hasn't made his move yet." Ultimate sian diao quote of the day.
1 point to note: I am so not going to play bluff anymore. This is because I can't bluff! I ended up getting forfeited to do a pole dance......

After 0100 hrs, we went up to Liang Wei's hse and played circle of death whereby we drank and drank and drank until some of us got so drank that we were ranting "I'm not drank" and carry on to spill our drinks on the table *coughwendycough*, we were also feeling so sick that we were unable to play dota *coughweilicough* and a few more.

We kb a little after tt and left for home and breakfast thereafter at 0600 hrs. I eventually got home at 0800 hrs. Thanks to Rex who didn't drink and drove us.

After thinking a lot during the gathering at Liang Wei's place (somehow the hours before & after 0000 hrs, seems so sacred and it makes you ponder some issues), I think maybe I am just too desperate in this season.

Also, after serious consideration, I feel that my priority would change after I enter varsity. My primary would be my studies, then followed by other things like relationship etc. This is short would mean only 1 thing: I will most probably remain single for my whole Uni life and I might jolly well join SDU after graduation!!! OMG!

quotes

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." - Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

'How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears-
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity-' - How happy is the little Stone by Emily Dickinson

'This is your last chance.
After this, there is no turning back.

'Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again
checked in a blind alley.

But always, if we have faith,
a door will open for us,
not perhaps one that we ourselves
would ever have thought of,
but one that will ultimately
prove good for us.' - A.J.Cronin
