its kinda an enjoyable day. just a bit lax on the work part.
i woke up late - at ten. which is nice. but i wake up around that time every day. sleeping at four is actually not very nice.
i went to print stuff and i met yanlin and peiqi. which is nice too, cos i didnt really expect to see anyone there.
went for lunch. my favourite food. hehe. which is nice. too.
went to get stuff - paper! haha. a better deal than the textured one. yea!
but the pity was i didnt get to meet peiqi again. cos i didnt bring my mobile, so i couldnt call her. i hope she didnt wait too long.
went to ps. got a pair of socks. its really expensive. seven dollars. sighs.
mum came home early - which is really nice. and we had pizza. and i laughed at the same show as my bro. hehe.
kelvin called. such a nice fellow. i asked him for help in the print shop a few days ago in an sms. he called to explain why he didnt reply my sms and to tell me that he cant really help me. he is a freshman from my visual merchandising class last semester. he paid me a compliment the last time i saw him in the computer lab, he said - oh, you are not from adm (apparel design and merchandising), i was thinking how much i have to do to catch up with you. apparently he thinks that i am not too bad in vm and i look rather young. he thought i was a junior! haha. i got a distinction in vm last semester!
nelson sent an sms. haha. he was my leader in camp a couple of years ago - five years ago. i used to tease him about a girl named grace. havent seen him in a while, the last time being in camp. he was in the group next to mine. and i always have to take care of his female camper.
andrew! haha. i read your comment and i replied a lengthy reply. (:
my shoulders kinda aching cos of my heavy backpack. but i had a good walk today. the backpack only seems to be weighing down on the last bit of my walk.
and did i mention -
i met a charming fella on the bus yesterday. we smiled awkward smiles at each other cos we werent sure we were smiling at each other 'til he said - bye bye jie jie. i board another bus after he alighted. and i sorta recognised some of the ladies as his grandmother's companion, so i was looking around for him - he was at the back, in the middle, waiting for me to look back, apparently he saw me boarding the bus. he did for me what radiance and rachel did - put a smile on my face (:
kangle and junwei were really good last week. and i didnt win a single game of uno. haha. i kinda miss ryan and rachel. ryan's my first tuition kid. he is primary four now. whoa. my first lesson with him - was my birthday - seventeenth one. and kok eng too. i feel that i didnt really fulfill my responsibility as a tutor towards her. i could have helped her a lot more, i still feel bad till this day, esp when i see the keyring i bought for her with the last bit of my money in KL.
the next part - nth worth reading. something that i had fun typing, thats all (:was walking near grandma's old place. the block's still there. i wanna stay there again. i like overlooking the basketball court and watching the big brothers play soccer and basketball. and the BB from the nearby church do their drills. i miss the little children who plays there and scream up to my grandma's place - leyshir leyshir come down and play. and when i was tired from camp, they would offer to carry my bag up for me and i would bring chocolate down for them. i miss them. i met genevieve lately, i am so glad she still would come up to me and say hi. she is younger than me, but she always teaches me the wrong things. i miss it when alan kor kor comes to play bball and the aunty - who is not really well - comes out with the broom to chase us. and we will split up and run and hide. i miss the old alan kor kor. he always breaks my heart when he doesnt complete the things he did. like giving up halfway because it becomes too difficult to complete. i like it when we were thirsty and is lazy to go up to get water, grandma will put this string down with a bottle of water. thats the coolest. no other grandmas did that. only ours. for us. i am really thankful to see that kid that made me angry - cos he wasnt too well too - have a job now and seems to be coping well. he called me jie jie the last time i saw him at BBCares. and how patrick used to hate me on his team when we play bball. i was pretty good in the past i think, but he hates me. haha. my brothers' friends came often to play. mine doesnt. we used to hate jane and that mean girl. and that irritating aunty. what we did was to collect lots and lots of leaves and then when jane and her brother came along, we will throw them down from level four. it was a close neighbourhood. my grandma would make me run downstairs to help the elderly ladies carry their shopping. i was one of the "guai-est" kids around. grandma insisted that i did that. the kids downstairs were cute and whenever no one is at home, grandma leaves the keys with them and i would pick it up after school. and the littlest ones will be by the window for us to walk past and play with them. and there was this really cute neighbour. whoa cute. haha. not nerd cute. he caused my front teeth to fall when he accidentally pushed my head to the door. and i remember we used to call his sister names. but she was really nice. and when the big jie jie who lives above got married, we all stood by the door and watched her come down. she was really pretty on that day. and the eurasian uncle who stays upstairs - he always had nice things to say to me. and that sylvia paik choo person who writes for the newspapers - she stayed in the same neighbourhood. the thing about four storey flats is that you can shout upstairs and get people to come down to play. there is this man who would play with us - rollarblade. i will run along cos all their attempts to teach me to blade resulted only in - stand, walk three steps and fall. haha. he liked museli. i talked to him when i was walking back from ntuc - now cold storage. the bball court was awesome. grandpa taught me to cycle there when i was seven? cant remember. it was a little blue bicycle. one bike for four kids. terrible time. he never let go. he would walk round the bball court with me and only let go when i was ready. very safe. loved sitting on his bike too, though i always thought that car was more comfy. i am wrong. totally wrong. his bike was the best - down mount emily - riding on his bike rocks the world! jason, my kindergarden friend used to shout up - YOU STOLE MY SOCKS. which is so mean. but i will just shout - IDIOT I DIDNT STEAL YOUR SOCKS. haa. mark kor kor taught me how to play bball. he always spent time teaching me and helping me. i liked seeing him at the bball court. he was totally awesome, he was really kind. there was this bossy uncle who liked to play on the bball court with his son. i am sure i thrased him before. hahaa. it was really easy to play with people then. you come by the court, you say you wanna play, find a few more people - viola we got game. we used to play rounders in the bball court too. and police and thief too. but i always lose. i cant run fast at all. from that little age till now. and hide and seek too. "home" will be the stone table nearer to nafa. we played with candles on that stone table too during mooncake festival. and there was one time when little darren's lantern caught fire. haha. he was so shocked. at the same stone table i saw terence smoking when i was in year one. the badminton court was kinda scary. i never really dared to be there alone at night. but TCK told us a scarier ghost story about our fave bball court. it freaked me out a lot. A LOT! cos that tree in the story looms outside my grandma's room window - the room that i always sleep in. thats why i try to insist on sleeping in the living room. the tree at the side nearer to the church was the same age as my older bro. that side too, was the place where one of my relative fell into a drain after taking a photo. haha. and when we ran, we never ran on our corridor - cos theres babies on our side. we go to the side where theres people for us to irritate. haha. we buried numerous birds, watched eggs hatched out of bird nests, looked up to bird nests in the tree back then. and when that mean aunty scolded us, me, my cousin and the kids, i retorted back. that was really scary. i dont know where i found the courage, but cos she was bullying us, so i thought i must do something. when i went home to tell my mum and grandma, they said i shouldnt do that, but patrick said - why didnt you ask me to go there, i was just at the bball court, i could have helped you. YEA! that was so victorious cos my bro was on my side.
that was old times. haha.
i liked it lots.
