For the past few weeks, I've been longing for a day of rest at home cos it seems like I'm going out everyday non-stop for the past 3 weeks! This longing is especially desirable for me, a homebody. Actually, most of the time, the reason I've been going out so often is due to CHOIR. (again, you must be thinking!) Well, tiring as it is, I kinda enjoy it but once the songs become a drag, then the reason I'm still surviving is due to the people....(yeah! even though there are conflicts and many bitchings taking place, the people are still generally OK.)
Had a bit of a stomach upset yesterday. Actually, I don't know whether this can qualify as a stomach upset but I have this feeling of puking the whole day long, even when Choir started in the afternoon. The feeling is something like the vomit is about to come out anytime but it's stuck somewhere around your lung area. I think it may be due to the breakfast I had that morning.SO, after much thought and discussion among the Choir peeps about what I should eat to make myself feel better, we decided on PRUNES. (Since it can't go up, make it go down! That was our agreed philosophy! heh heh!) Hmm...surprisingly it worked except that I did not shit as expected! HAHAHA!!
Met up with Mr Chia, Joan and Seng Keat for dinner at Genki Sushi. That was the first time I had soft-shell crab [haiya! don't laugh la...I very suaku I know!] and the Sashimi there tasted different from the one I had during my birthday. It was much better! Joan, as usual gobbled her Chicken Teriyaki Set so quickly that by the time she was done, I was only halfway through my Salmon meal! Actually, come to think of it, yesterday was a tad too quiet. It was mostly neutral conversations and polite chatter that it sorta felt awkward, compared to the tuition times where we would just laugh and talk like nobody's business...but nevertheless, Mr Chia is one of the bestest teachers I've ever known and I'm not saying this just for the sake of saying it. It's like he has so many tuition groups and he's bringing almost each and every group to dinner! And the places he brings us are not cheap. [He brought Rachel's group to Billy Bomber's and he brought us to Swensen's last year!] He's one teacher who can really relate to us...for that I'm grateful that I have met someone like him =)
Today, Choir as usual in the morning with AJC and MJC. After that Shannon, Dixon, Mimi, Eugene, Charlie Brown aka Yukai, Henry, Joanne, Eunice and I went to Parkway Parade to have lunch at Banquet and then to Scoopz for ice-cream. Their Chocolate Mint is really good! A good balance of Chocolate and Mint, not like some other brands where all you can taste is mostly the Mint! Found out that there are many more people who liked Mint, namely Henry and Shannon. [finally! people who think that they are not eating Colgate!] Joanne left after that and the rest of us went to a secluded part of Parkway to play [guess what?] The murderer game!
Imagine one bunch of JC kids sitting in a circle at a remote corner, playing the murderer game? We got chased away by a security guard for the "illegal gathering of 3 or more persons" and that's against the Constitution according to what Shannon or someone else said. Seeing that we have no choice, we left and headed to the dark and shady halls of snooker and pool. At first, we agreed to team up and play pool but as there was much conflict over whether it should be "each Man for himself" or tag team, Eugene and Mimi played the first round with the rest of us being their "cheerleaders" according to the words of Charlie Brown. [quite stupid I know!] After that, I paired with Mimi, and Charlie Brown partnered Eugene. [We won, mostly due to Mimi's prowess!] Then played another 2 games or so, paired with Yukai and Henry respectively and lost both games! As Shannon refused to play pool, I played "Dai Dee" with her whilst the rest continued their game. We were there from 2pm to 4 plus la!
Didn't expect myself to have so much fun today...at least I got to know them better...hmm, but it would be better if we get other Choir people involved instead of just the same clique. I guess this will take time...
Went home and asked Mum whether we're still celebrating Dad's birthday. This time it seemed as if she meant it. A simple but disappointing No. Actually it wasn't really a straightforward No. She simply told us [my siblings and I ] to go celebrate with him without her. I don't know what to say...After all, why must I always be the one trying to patch things up and stuff? I know partly it has to be me cos I can't expect my younger brother and sister to initiate right? The worse thing is, I have no one to be angry about. I can't blame Mum cos she has the right to feel hurt and all. Asking her to forgive and forget is not easy too. In fact, I think it's out of the question if Dad doesn't act fast. Blame Dad?
