Happy Birthday!

Celebrated my birthday on Thursday. Actually it's not really a celebration cos not many people were with me that day. Friends who are really celebrating are getting lesser and lesser. On that day, the only people who came only Ivan, Esther, Li Ping, Jia Xin and BaoBei. Ivan and Esther hang out with me almost the whole day. We went to watch a movie,"Terminator?" I forgot the movie title but it was about a guy who sacrifice himself and donate his whole body for a research. In the end, he became a robot and he himself didn't even realize. On the outside you can't tell that he's a robot until you rip open his skin. His whole body is made of machine except for his heart, which still has the heart of a human. That is why he still can feel and has emotions of a human. Nice movie though in the end he gave his heart up to the main character, John conner. Who is dying. John conner's father is a teenager?! In the movie, he mentions that he could not accept that his father is younger than him!(who can?!) After the whole movie, Ivan mentions that this movie is the combination of Terminator 1, 2 and 3. Same as 无间道 1,2 and 3. And says that the movie makes no sense for those who watch Terminator 1 and 2 before. Imagine you went back into your parents past where your parents were still boyfriend and girlfriend. Try telling them you are their child and you are from the future. What would they think? After the movie, Ivan went home around 6pm. Esther ask where I wanted to eat?

We went to Jack's place and for the first time, I tried the steak there. You can even choose the doneness for your steak. The price is not cheap though. The one that I chose is around $23++ while Esther eat fish and chips. Jia Xin came quite late. Around 9+pm, I didn't know when she came. We then had our orders and ate as we chat happily.

The food that I've ordered

Jia Xin and Me

Burborn on the rocks..of course BaoBei wasn't too happy that I drink

Li Ping and us...seldom get to see her..she also has lots of suitors

Li Ping then joined us around 10pm(the restaurant was about to close). I think she bought my gift last minute cos there was no wrapper and she claim that she has no time to wrap. It was a faceshop facial wash. From the brand itself I can tell that it is not cheap, though I don't know how much it cost. Esther gave me my present and she said it was from Shuling, Angel, My 大老婆 and someone else whom I forgot. It was a bag and the design was what I was looking for, for a very long time. Esther said,"Oh really?! We didn't know you were looking for this design but glad you like it" My 大老婆 self-made my birthday card for me as usual. Every year she would gave me a self-made birthday card. Esther gave me a birthday card too and it was computerize type. Very good effort on the card :D

Went for Expo today to find some books that I am looking for. It was popular sale and Singapore Expo food sale! I bought a lot of books from the popular sale and even get discounts too! As for the food, because I had no time and it was quite crowded as usual every year, I just bought a noodle which is 1 for $1. The usual price was $2.50 for 1, I think? When I got home, BaoBei chide me for wasting my money on such things. I am an impulsive buyer which is not good. The books itself cost me $50+ for 9 books. Some books sale for $1 while the rest is around $14+++.

Tomorrow is the last day for the fair. If you are interested, quickly go and check it out before it's too late. Who knows? You might find some bargains there like me too! I will end here for now. Will blog again some other time.

A walk in my life time

On Wednesday, I went to a friend's house in AMK after work. We chat till quite late and I had to rush for the MRT at around 11+pm. I manage to catch the last train there that headed towards Jurong East MRT. But I alight at the wrong side of the station and got into a train that head towards Joo Koon in the end.

I alight at Chinese Garden, which at that point of time was 11.50 something, close to midnight. There is no more train service for me to transfer back home. Luckily I manage to get to a bus stop which has a last bus to Jurong East interchange. I then ask for directions to walk to Clementi. That person whom I had seek help from, ask,"Huh?! Clementi from here walk very far leh. You sure you wanna walk?" I told him,"Ya. Bo bian. If I don't walk I cannot go home. Thanks. Bye!"

It was the longest walk I had in my entire life. I am used to getting lost in Singapore. I remembered when I was in my primary school daze, there are a few times that I used up ALL my pocket money and has no money to board a bus home. I then walk all the way from Viking Road(Redhill) to Queenstown. I remembered very clearly it was a 20-25 minutes walk from the school to my home. There was once my cousin caught me walking alone and he offer me to ride home in his car. That was 12 years ago. He then blame my Mum for not giving me enough pocket money.

While I was walking, I keep on searching for last bus home. I was tired and hungry but I have no more money for taxi. A few taxis stop for me but I wave my hand at them to reject the offer. I then continue to walk in the dark. If you ask me,"Huh?! So late at night le you alone not scared?" I am scared but.....still I have to walk to get home. My Mum SMS me to ask where am I? I told her I am walking home as I have no money for taxi. She offer to pay for the taxi fare but I don't want. She is worried sick when she learnt that I walk home alone in the night! Actually, I am a road idiot(路痴) I didn't know my directions well. I could only rely on Building names or street names or any building structures that I find it familiar with, as my landmark.

I remembered I walked past a resort, which BaoBei and me went there before for one of our friend's chalet. That building itself made me recognise my way home. Cos it was near Clementi, but a few kilometres away. When I saw the building, I know I was somewhere near industrial park of Jurong and walking towards Clementi. I stop to look at the bus stop for buses towards Clementi. Because that is my only hope home. After walking for nearly 2 hours, I finally found a bus stop which has the last bus to Clementi interchange - Bus 99. I look at the timing for weekdays, and it stated that the last bus is 1.13am. I look at my hand phone time and it was already 1.16am. I decided to try my luck to wait.

After waiting for around 5 minutes, I then gave up as I thought there's no more buses. Cos bus usually either on schedule or earlier. Just as I was about to walk off, I saw a bus coming - Bus 99! I rush towards to bus and flag. When I board the bus and tap my ezlink card, I sat a place near the bus driver. The bus driver look at me in the rear mirror and said,"Eh!? You again!? Why? Lost your way huh?" Initially, I was very surprise of how this driver know me? I ask,"Who are you?" He replied,"Aiyo! You don't remember me? I fetch you home once you remember? You staying near Singapore Polytechnic there right?" I was shock! But then again, I remembered there was indeed once a bus driver took me back to my home out of pity. Cos I overslept in his bus and ask him innocently whether there's any bus to Dover? He told me there is no more bus and ask where I live? He then offer me to ride home for free but ask me to bend down as not to let his supervisor see any passenger left in the bus. He then drop me at Singapore polytechnic.

I told him I think I recall who he is. There is one other passenger at the bus at that point of time and he was shock that I knew the bus driver. I then chat with the bus driver and told him how I got lost again. He said,"ya la..maybe you pray to your God and your God sent me lah. You are lucky!". I did pray for a miracle at the bus stop to God that hopefully, there is still one last bus home, and He answered my prayers. After alighting, I wanted to get his number but then again, I was scared cos it is not very nice for a girl to ask guy for numbers. I just wanna thank him that's all.

I manage to walk all the way from Clementi back home. When I reach home, it's already 2+am close to 3am. My Mum said luckily there's bus home or else she thinks I'll reach home by 5+am.

I will end here for now. Will blog again some other time.
