Esplande

5.30pm time to get off work......rush off to toilet to change off my uniform...yeah~ weekend is here at last...not working on saturday. rush down to slide my card and getting to take the bus which comes at 5.40pm. unluckily, i missed the bus, which came earlier recently, too bad got to take the private bus at 5.50pm. Reached BoonLay MRT at 6pm and and get on the train at 6.05pm. It so squeezy and stuffy in the train, but i managed to get a sit. perhaps i was too tire, i just dozed off while listening to my discman. Reaching Tiong Bahru, someone squeezing by kicked my shoe accidently and woked me up...gosh....i dozed off without knowing, lukily get to wake up else i may sleep at the way....haha 猪头......WeiKang called me, still drifting in & out of my sleep. he has reached cityhall, waiting for me at the stairs.

Reach CityHall MRT at 6.40pm. Met WeiKang at the stairs, my poly classmate whom i never met since graduation. We went to dine at marina square, where he recommended me to a nice fast food restaurant , but too bad, we get LOST in marina square, can't find that restaurant, instead we get to the foodcourt. The newly renovated foodcourt now has a good view of the harbour and esplande....wow so nice, such a serene view. i went to order my spagetthi and drink. when i get to the table, gosh i forgotten to order a drink for him, then i offered my drink to him. he took my drink and poured into the cup and went off to order his... so pai seh ;=). Minutes later he came back with his Laska and coffee, appetite not bad huh....still can eat so much after makan with his friends at Swensen before meeting me. A table nearer to the seaview was empty and we decided to shift, very gentlemanly he helped me to shift my food. Then he asked me whether i eat fishcake, i said it's ok for me, so he started to dig into his bowl and take out all the fishcakes he had. He dislike eating fishcake because he dislike eating fish with lots of flour in it and prefer real fish instead....haha now i'm not alone in this world to be a weirdo in food, i always feel very odd one out for not able to eat seafood, now got someone to accompany me le. He said that i should call him along next time i'm go go for feast., he will help me clear all those seafood. Marina square a place i used to frequent during poly days has changed so much, then i asked him whether the bowling alley is still around, Yes it's still around and he suggested that we go bowling after our dinner. The bowling alley, the gaming arcade and pool are now divided by glass panels so as to reduce noise level.

Quite a few years never bowl, a bit afraid that i bowl myself in...haha...Weikang get his no. 12 ball and i get no. 8, i can't get my no.7 which i usually use....;=( so heavy......hehehe......i won the first 3 rounds....hahha......he commented how i went wrong with my bowling posture, who cares....don't bowl myself in can le. Weikang slowly catch up.....in the end he scored 113 and i scored 51 :=( so lousy, but it was very fun. It was 8pm and we decided to be on our way to the Esplande outdoor theatre to watch a mini performance by Audio Insanity from SCC. walking on for 10 mins, we are still in marina square, We are LOST again (-.-)", luckily we came by the customer service counter, then i approached them for help. Finally get off that building....walking towards the Esplande, passing by the outdoor hawker we queued up to buy his mineral water. while queuing up, i was wondering why was the hawker next door wearing straw hat while sweating and cooking, didn't he feels hot wearing it? hmmm.......get to the outdoor theatre and get our seats in the centre row of seats. Jonathan, Siti, Andrew and Brandon were setting up their equipments. Weijian used to be singing in the band was not singing that nite. Audio Insanity's leading lady sang Hey Fellas & Sistas, Secret Sorrow, When The Night Falls, Tell Me, Hero(maria carey's song), etc. The performance was great with good sound system (better than at NP), great scenery of the City and cool weather. Weikang also commented that the performance was better than what he expected. My scc pals were there too, Estella, squid and some junior like 'C' 小姐 weijian's girlfriend and some others i forgotten their names.

On the way home, i gave weikang's his surprise birthday gift, a handphone pouch with handmade embrodiery of his name on it by myself, a small but unique gift. i often made some handcrafts for my friends, if i don't have any idea what they like, at least sincerity will be my best present. He was very touched, but commented it was too early to his actual birthday on 17 OCT. He tried putting his handphone into the pouch but his handphone was too big to put in....too bad he only get to use it only if his next handphone gets smaller. i'm happy that a small gift like this could actually bring out his boyish smile. i was wondering did those people whom i gave them handmade handcraft appreciate my unique art work? He actaully intended to take direct bus back home but decided to accompany me by MRT... :=P...haha....on the MRT get to share his newly bought Creative MP3 player, songs by Jay Zhou, Willbur Pan, etc. We went off separately at Jurong East...we may be meeting up for ktv and bowling next time.

i never know that this guy can be so happening and chatty, quite surprise that he actually told me some of his personal thoughts. In school he give me a impression of a very intelligent, serious and over grown tall boy (1.8m+) lor....i find myself damn shorty (1.62m) only.....haha. :p.....anyway nice friend to be around with. By the way, my wrist is still cramp after bowling.....sob...sob..
