Rather 'eventful' weekend
I had a rather 'eventful' weekend.
Friday night:
Went for Charlene's 21st birthday party!
Met Joyce at Sheares Hall before going to the party.. It is great to see her after so long! And we had a really nice chat (and bitching session =P ) along our journey. I'm really really happy to see her after so long, and I kinda miss the days we'll roam around NUS, and the times me and Charlene will rot in her room in Sheares.
It was great catching up with Charlene as well. We didn't really have a chance to talk a lot, but it was great just to see her after so long too! Personally, I was reminded to talk to her more often =)
Their friends were great people to talk to too, and I had fun despite the kinda quiet atmosphere =)
Saturday:
Mobilisation! With that hanging in our minds, in the morning and noon all of us felt kinda sian, and we started a mass convo on msn bitching about the SAF. Hahaha typical NS moanings.
I had to postpone my tuition because of that, sian.
It's kinda sucky to dig out the duffle bag from my storeroom, and open it to check whether I had the required items.
Not to mention wearing the uniform again! My uniform's size is S, and I really wondered how did I fit into the uniform then, not to mention now, and I have a 'little' difficulty fitting into the sleeves of my smart 4. For the pants, the less said the better.
The feeling is surreal. Putting on the uniform, carrying the duffle bag, booking in at a guardroom, waiting and waiting and waiting, eating the splendid SFI food, seeing LTA Seow (our first year PC - now back with us after his 3-year regular stint), saying 'Yes Sir! to the long-winded OC.
It's good meeting the scouts and other familiar faces again, and (again!) talking about dota and past spats. But it gets kinda draggy when it drags to 8.30pm. zzzzz
It lasted until 8.30pm (OH MY GOODNESS) and I rushed to the airport to send Soon Leong off in a taxi with Mingguang, putting my duffle bag at home on the way.
Dear SAF, I would like to make claims for the my Opportunity Costs:
1. Time
2. Dinner with 4d
3. $30 of taxi fare for back and forth
Then, at the airport, we sent Soon Leong off. Well, as this is the Nth time I'm sending people off to overseas (and I was too tired), I didn't really feel much. The only feeling I had was I just can't imagine for the next semester, when almost everyone will leave for exchange, leaving some poor souls back here in Singapore. And of course.. rrgh.
Sunday:
Morning: Played soccer in the morning. My soccer boots chuied. Time to get a new pair! New shoes for the New Year.
Afternoon: Went for tuition (to compensate for the one I missed on Sat)
Nite: Concussed from 7pm.
What an eventful weekend! Not.
