my friend NTKW...and KL trip tmr

That day I went out with my friend NTKW. Anyway, I met him and for the first time I shared with him something that I didn't dare say for 6 years. Anyway, I wanna thank him for being my friend. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me when I bared my soul to you...haha

Really, I appreciate that evening lor...thanks alot (if you're reading this now...HuGz!!!)

Anyway, I'm now at Ritchie's place now. Tmr, we will be setting off for KL! So exciting...can't wait! I will be back on Sunday evening!

Bye everyone!!!

Chocolate buffet at The Courtyard...mmm...

I went for a chocolate buffet on Saturday. It was at The Fullerton, at The Courtyard. I think I will not eat chocolate for a year or something like that. Anyway, it was DIVINE! Mountains of chocolate and absolutely no one to stop me from eating it all! HAHA!

I would post pictures up here, but something's wrong with the hELLO thingy...wait till I get it to work. Moving on, Ritchie and Jun asked me to join them and I really enjoyed myself. There was a chocolate fountain with liquid chocolate raining down in a cascade of brown, sweet goodness. And for those of you who know what I'm talking about, boy, did I ever TASTE the CHOCOLATE! Nutella doesn't even come close, really...not even close.

It cost me S$32 after adding all the text, but it was worth it. It's an interesting experience and one should definitely try it out. I mean, if you have some spare cash floating around, just go and make a reservation. It's cool.

Sweetness is such an overrated thing. The real, and new SWEET, is really BITTER-SWEET. Really! You will never truly know sweetness, until you experience the other tastes. Only then do you truly and completely understand the intricacies of this wonderous thing call out sense of taste.

The chocolate brought back images of happy times, child-like times, innocent times. Memories of my aunt and myself baking in the kitchen of the old Depot Road flat. Then Grandma was still alive and would scream at me if I spilled baking stuff on the kitchen floor. Grandpa would watch us like a hawk to ensure we did not damage his precious kitchen. I would not really bother and enjoyed the experience of beating eggs and letting the smell of baking orange cake and warm melted chocolate waft into my nostrils.

Those were happy, innocent, wonderous times. We should all rediscover that wonder...really. The book Sophie's World calls it "the faculty of wonder". Boy, alot of us in this world really need to rediscover that and what it really means...

Go try a chocolate buffet and see if you can find that faculty again...you just might be surprised...heh

infected hole near left ear

For those of you who know about the hole near my left ear, it is once again infected. Very painful and got bloody stinking pus coming out of it...sigh...I think I should get it sealed up once and for all...so annoying man...

Pain...and the stench...eewww...

Save me pls...

Eric go liao...byebye!

Just came back from a super early breakfast with Yixin at Tiong Bahru. We had gone to the airport to send Eric off on his year-long exchange programme thingy. We had braved the rigours of not sleeping through the night, just waiting for Eric to arrive at the airport at the god-forsaken hour of 4am...haha

We didn't want to pay for the midnight charge for a taxi ride, so we took a bus and waited it out instead. Nice to see Eric one last time before he flies off into the a whole new experience...heh

Then after that, Yixin brought me to eat this SUPER yummy porridge at Tiong Bahru. It was really good...and I can't believe that after living here for long, I'd never tried it...hmm...still scratching my head over that...

Anyway, tuition yesterday was good...just received 2 more students...business is improving! Woohoo! Now, I will get some rest so that I can continue surviving throughout this day...

Zzz...

thinking....

Sitting in front of my computer now...

I was randomly keying names of people from my past (in school mostly, still young mah...most of my past is there) into the Friendster search engine. Then I realised that all those people whom I'd met before all still existed. However, I have no idea what was going on in their lives. For some of those people, I didn't even feel the want to know what was going on...

Was it the past feelings of anger and betrayal? Not really, they don't feel as intensely as before...time really is powerful...dulling all in it's relentless surge forward...ploughing down all that is in it's path...leaving no room for happy/sad/angry/betrayal....all these trivial matters crumble in the face of Time...

I was just thinking whether I should drop these guys a message. Like to let them know I still exist. Then I realised, what's the point...they're probably not ready I guess, and then awkwardness would wash over us all, then it would be a 'hi-and-bye' meeting, and it would amount to nothing. Besides, there are more pressing matters at hand which I need to handle...so just reminisce about happier/carefree times, and let it past...to energise that which is your present...and that is all there is to it.

Really...

Fever, sore throat, and tuition too...

Still trying to recover from a sudden flu thing...wondering if it's really gone.

Later got my first tuition lesson...yay! Good for them...teaching little primary school kids. Hope I don't utterly destroy them...haha

Have to clean up all the shit left behind by the previous tutors as well. They have no sense of responsibility at all can? All I've been getting is queries from anxious/angry/irate parents, all of which I don't know how to answer man. Ah well, I shall brave the storm and plough through all these obstacles...

Jia You! (add oil in Chinese)
