Friday is the day to be reminded that i still look like a kid

ticket lady: erm actually, you need to be 21 to watch this film
waiter at indochine: sorry, this is just to check: is everyone at this table above 18?

another interesting conversation with the lady who was manning homespun (NICE SHOP!)
lady: so are you from singapore?
me: yeah, i'm singaporean. i'm a student here.
lady: oh! so are you an arts student?
me: erm, no, i'm actually a science student, at NUS.
lady: oh! then what are you doing here?
me: ... erm

company was good. i always have fun when i'm with v =) we met some of her theatre artsy fart friends too, very nice people, and very cool. one's writing a screenplay and the other's an actress in new york! i guess v hadnt seen her friend in a while, so we adjourned to indochine to have drinks. t'was a very pleasant evening =) i was quite amazed that i could just hit it off with strangers so easily, it was comfortable.

had my dinner at suriya with timo, tian en, gabs, ivin and joyce after that. was good to see gabs, feel like we haven't talked in ages. so nice to have church friends and a prata shop right outside your house.

saturday is daddy and becky day.

he attempted to wake me up in the morning so that i could go lab, but i said "mrrfph, 10 minutes..." and went back to sleep. when i finally woke up, we went for breakfast at chinatown and saw this super modded TW. daddy promptly whipped out his phone and attempted to take photos of it "to show peach".

after finishing up my lab stuff, i was sitting at the kerb, waiting for dad to come over from browsing the forum co-op. it was a sweltering day, but there was nice tree-cover where i was. as i looked at the shadows cast by the branches, i noticed the form of some moving thing through the branches. it was moving too slowly to be a bird, but you couldn't tell what it was, based on a shadow. it was a big, red, broad leaf, which materialized before my eyes as it fell to the road. something poetic about that scene. if i had a video camera to make a film out of my life, that'll definetly be a pivotal scene.

a slight breeze soughed through the trees as i sat there, staring at my shoes and feelin' groovy.

i dragged daddy around the shops of queensway and bought me a new pair o'shoes. hoot! i likes.

after napping the afternoon away, i went for dinner with dad and mum and did some grocery shopping. mum seemed to be in an unusually good mood. maybe the hero and heroine in her korean drama got married or something. hahaha... anyway, saw junwen and adrian at the coffeshop! fellow brethren, heh.

one and a half good days in a row. hopefully i'm on a roll.
