What an occupied day. In the morning I met Kan Kan and we collected our composition portfolios, yay! Sighz... brings back all the memories of those days. We took some time to leaf through our portfolios at the study area downstairs. Haha it was weird to be sitting there not in uniform. After that we went to get a haircut in Bedok. Or should I say, I got my haircut and Kan Kan trimmed her hair. Was quite nervous to let the hairdresser cut my hair. What if it turns out horrible?! Lol I've got my fair share of horrible haircuts. But I need not have been so worried. Haha it turned out just fine, I didn't look weird.

After lunch I had to go home to drop off my portfolio before I went to Boon Lay mrt to meet Dacia. She moved to Jurong sometime this year, apparently she lives just a ten-minute walk away from NTU, it'll be so convenient for her to go to school! But not so close to the mrt station though. At first I couldn't recognise her, I thought it was just another person walking into the station! Haha the last time I saw her was when we went for dinner in Jurong Point. But before that she had training and in her sports things she still looked like Dacia. Lol but upon closer look, I realised it was Dacia walking towards me. We were chatting all the way to Bugis, to meet Anni and Li Ching. It was like being back in secondary school, when we would take a bus home instead of train cos we got so sick of taking trains. And for me, cos buses take longer to get home haha... weird and silly reason! We recalled all the funny lessons in Sec 1 and 2, Ching Chui and I always nodding away in class lol. And Father Balhetchet calling Huey Woon "the dragon" cos he couldn't remember her name but the Chinese New Year decorations on the board behind her was a dragon!

We were early but Anni and Li Ching told Dacia they'd be late... "St. Nicks people are always late, as usual"... haha but people living not too close will usually be early, cos we overestimate the time to get there. Like Dacia said, she'd probably always be late next time, cos she lives so near school. So we went strolling around looking at all the places we could possibly have dinner later, comparing prices like aunties going to the market! We were also wondering how Anni and Li Ching looked like now. I haven't seen them for ages, and other than Dacia, I don't know them very well too. When we were in the same Sec 1 and 2 class, I seldom talked to them actually... and of cos when the three of them went to 3 and 4 Hope, I seldom even saw them. Except Dacia, during MEP... she always sat with Magdelene in front of me and Joycelyn.

We met Anni first, nothing much has changed except for her hair I suppose. Or maybe I didn't know her that well so I can't tell. Li Ching didn't change at all! Maybe a little in her demeanour etc, but she didn't look any different. We were actually waiting for Huey Woon to knock off and meet us, so we sat down in MOS and chatted away. Mostly exchanging news about our Sec 1 and 2 classmates and where they'll be going. And complaining about how ugly the school looks now, after they repainted it. I haven't gone back for very long, but I've heard so much about the kindergarten-look that I want to go back and see it for myself! Haha and I miss the mian xian. When Huey Woon said she wasn't coming cos she wasn't feeling too well, we decided to move from MOS to Ajisen. Dinner was good, but very very filling!


Dinner at Ajisen

We walked around for a while after dinner, and took neoprint too. We had to do it two times cos it was the card kind. Haha Dacia and I were a little evil, we were standing together the second time, and we looked more relaxed and cheerful in it... so we wanted to keep it. But not too evil actually, Anni looked very nice the first time, so it's good that she got to keep that. We thought Li Ching looked a little out of place in the second one too, so isn't it better for her to keep the second one? Haha ok, anyway they weren't unhappy about that so it's fine. We walked around some more until Li Ching and Anni wanted to go.


The first one...


And the second one. See the diff?

But Dacia was still so hyper and wanted to stay out longer, so we went shopping across the road. At first we were attracted to the kind of clock (? or watch?) that you can hang on your bag... I liked that, cos wearing watches is just not my thing. Dacia thought it was good for when she went for training or was wearing more sporty things, cos her watch definitely wouldn't suit them. But we decided not to buy it from there cos who knows how long-lasting it'll be.

So we went watch/clock-hunting in Bugis. We met Vanessa and Suellen... haha Suellen looked so different that we were wondering whether it was her at first. They seem the same otherwise, both of them are always so sweet and nice. Erm ok, maybe not with their closer friends though. Quite happy to meet so many people again, though I didn't really have anything to say to most of them actually. Ok with Dacia we could talk about more things cos we know each other better.
