Some Thanksgiving
Why happy? Cos I got to play! =) Easily satisfied? Yeah!
Friday/Saturday:
Had a fun history class. It's the last class though. Sigh. I really do like my history classmates. Intellectual, witty, relaxed and fun to be with. I thank God for every single soul in history class. They have brightened the otherwise dreary history classes, and in many ways, cultivated my love for the teaching of history. And especially also to those who have put up with my crazy antics, danced with me to Nalla's ridiculous hp tune, laughed with me, prayed with me, etc. Thank God.
Had lunch with YP and ZY at Taka. I like this impromptu hanging out sessions. Makes me happy. I thank God for providing me with friends whom I get along with, even during this short stint at NIE. Thank God also for providing opportunities to get to know them better.
Went window-shopping with Chien at Far East. Quite fun watching her play dress-up. Hee.
Went into a zi-char place and then left without eating. Why? Cos Chien mentioned that she had a craving for beef hor-fun, so we decided to indulge her craving. So we headed down to Geylang. Met a self-righteous cab-driver who was so rude he replied, "I dunno! I don't go to these 'dirty' places one!", when I asked him if he knew where the famous beef horfun was located. I mean, come on, I'm asking him about food lor! And Geylang is a tourist spot for local food rite?! And if he din frequent such places, how would he know the 'lorongs' so well?! Argh.
Anyway the horfun and 'unsweet' and 'overly sweet' tau-huey were satisfying.
Decided to head to Chien's place to watch dvd - "Garden State". Well, not too satisfying a movie. Nice soundtracks though. Dozed off after talking gibberish about the movie. (Not that Chien knew cos she was sleeping during the movie! Reminded me of "Groundhog Day" when Becky, Meow, Chien and myself all fell asleep! Hee. So much for movie nite! Anyway, it was late, so I stayed over at her place. For those who dunno, this place is a HOTEL! Hee. Can hear the fountain in the garden, and imagine it's a clear stream or creek. Free toothbrush and toothpaste, comfy bed and comforter, excellent room service, awesome ambience... (imagine a luxurious room in the forest), etc. Haha!
Thank God for providing a place to have fun, hang out and relax.
Thanks Chien for providing such good hospitality. And breakfast! =)
Isn't it just so professional-looking? Hee. And there's even NICE music to add to the mood of breakfast! Hahha! Hotel service number 1! *grin*
Headed down to Arab Street to look for curtain fabric, but got all confused by the Math and came to the conclusion that IKEA would be a better choice. Anyway, we found a cheap and nice nasi padang place. (Well, after the destructive duck toppled the tray of spoons in another restaurant with the bulky bag of hers!)
Just some of the dishes. And the unchewable beef, which resulted in it being the 'untouchable.'
Thanks Chien for pointing out the close-up function on my camera!
Thanks Chien for gallivanting with me and for the fun and relaxing time throughout. =)
Thank God for Chien. I really appreciate the times I get to hang out with close friends.
