Hello on Christmas Day...
Oh my, the SMS I just received totally put a big wide grin on my face... A Christmas greeting from dearest Pepper, all the way from York! Thanks girl, I miss you... =)
A few days ago, after many reminders from my mum, I finally got down to packing the shelves in my room... I'm amazed by how much rubbish I've managed to collect over the years. I threw away three thrash bags full of stuff, ranging from receipts, programme booklets, my NYGH uniform which has already turned a ghastly shade of yellow, vouchers which have expired for years... and I couldn't quite decide which was more stressful - studying for exams or sorting the massive amount of things I own... I would have liked to reread all my old letters, especially those from Qy, but there was no time, so I just stuffed them all into a humongous plastic bag for safekeeping with Ray while I'm away (accidental rhyme!). That leaves me with my clothes to pack and put aside... I don't even want to think about how that would be.
I've been meeting many people over the past few days - dinner at Crystal Jade with Qy...shopping around town and talking about movies with KC...and yet another dinner with Qy as well as Cheeyang and Wexiang, my old friends from Hwachong. I haven't spoken to Wx in ages, but I found myself having lots to say... after dinner, we ended up standing in a carpark and talking for another hour or so (didn't want to pay anymore parking!), followed by a nice long conversation over Msn later that night... having chicken floss prata for supper with Ray... and Es is back too! haha, he called me up the morning he landed and said, 'Lets go for lunch right now.' ... it's amazing how I can feel so completely myself and happy talking to someone I effectively see only twice a year (along with all the rest of the friends overseas). And a visit to Elayne's place- not a very exciting 23rd despite grand plans because the poor girl sprained her ankle, but it was nice sitting around her room talking anyway.
Today, I met Ray for an X'mas breakfast at Yakun... and I discovered their french toast, which is even yummier than their kaya toast! ...and then slacking with dear Manda at Starbucks... food again - Starbucks' Uglier Chicken Curry Puff (I kid you not, that's the actual name of their curry puff) is really damn nice.... and just chilling and talking... until we got bored and played the 2-dollar game. Basically, we had to find a gift under $2 to buy for each other within 2 minutes... she got me a correction tape shaped in a chocolate bar, very very cute. =) ... and I came home early, so I had sufficient time to read a book, read the newspapers, have dinner with my family, play the piano, write to Qy... I wish everyday was like that.
More people to meet this week- biz friends, clubbing with my favourite HC girls, Linli whom I haven't seen since Images, gilbert, Kelvin... there're many things I'd want to do in New York, but I don't think I'd have so many people to meet...
And it's Boxing day tomorrow, I swear I'll start packing...
