The naked truths of Mango!: the week that was

The week that was

Haven't been blogging this week so I decided to summarize up my week altogether with truckloads of pictures. Ok I'm extraggating, not that much but haven't been able to post so many pictures in a single entry for sometime.

My long and overdued graduation cenemory finally arrived on Tuesday. By rights I should have it last year in June together with my class and the same batch of 2003s but failings in 2 modules in semester 1 resulted in repeating 2 modules and having an extra semester which only ends in August last year. I'm not the only 1 of course, there were Joey, Grace, Sijie, etc but believe me we do feel kinda extra at the cenemory but who cares haha. People may say, "aiya diploma only mah, no need go one la so extra somemore". But hey u got a diploma graduation cenemory to attend of not in the first place uh? I may never get to attend a University graduation cenemory so this makes it a once in a lifetime experience and memory.

That morning was kinda hectic, had to rush cab down thinking I was late but ended up early. Worse still, my new leather shoes were so 'long' and pointed that it makes walking really hard especially having to climb lots of stairs. I was trying my best not to do a Miss USA Universe and trip while going on stage u know. Feel a sense of acheivement as I've said plenty of times before I don't see myself being where I am during secondary school days. But then, looking at my grades there were sense of regrets as well. I hate having regrets because it pushes me back instead of forward but I couldn't help thinking why I didn't strive hard for better grades. Those Cs didn't look really nice with a couple of Bs in between and a single A. Taking the positives instead, at least I know I have the platform to move onto another level now and make sure I do something that ranks along with my major interests like arts, designs, media and physchology.

Mr Choo always smiles the biggest!! My only A grade came from him!

Finally yeah? :D

And then the next few days were great in office basically because of the change in Boss or Commanding Officer as we call it there. Someone mentioned in the SAF forums that a change in boss is like a refreshing change between heaven and hell and I think it was spot on, inch perfect! How much I love life now under this new boss even though it's still early days but at least their personalities were a total contrast, opposites! And he only came to office on Monday so the rest of the week namely Wednesday, Thursday & Fridays were great, being able to slack and leave early! =D

We spent Friday celebrating Joey's birthday. It's been a long time I had a nice gathering with the T13s but it was still pretty much the same, lots of noise, nonsense, laughters and pictures! I wouldn't wanna suggest any makan place anymore I guess, thanks to Owen and my allergic of fishy smell, we end up switching Manhattan Fish Market for some Thai restaurant call Chiang Mai Palace which I think Joey wasn't too please with. It's still stressful when u arrive and the first sentence u hear was "wah lao why the place so ulu!". But thankfully the food wasn't bad or else I'm gonna feel even stressed especially when u look at our total bill of over 200 bucks for 10 heads accouting to $27 for each person. This makes it one of our most expensive dinners I guess but I think it's still worth it because I love thai food! Then again, I'm still cursing the person who ordered the double fish dish which costs $70....argh!

Headed to New Asia Bar after that, I was reluctant to go but as usual I always get dragged along. The cover charge was kinda expensive and unworthly so we ended up going to MOS. Ahhh I didn't wanna club but since it's been a really long time we have a chane to party together and it's auntie Joey's birthday, I gave in. I restricted myself to just 3 or 4 glasses and turn 'bartender' for them while they make poor Jingxi drunk on her virgin clubbing session with us haha! As usual lah what else! I bump into someone there too, someone whom I rank amongst the 4 most wasted "what ifs" in my previous post. Initially I looked at her and I thought she wouldn't remember me, it's been like 6 or 7 years since we met afterall. But surprisingly she smiled at me and so we hook up a little conversation and snap 2 pictures. I didn't expect to see her of all places, at mos? And who were to know that our next and only solo picture to date would be 6-7 years after our last meeting? Life indeed throws up surprises when u least expect it.

I have a fettish for girls who wear wrapped up sharp pointed heels but I hate it when they don't know how to walk and step on my feets. It's freaking painful and my nails were like cracked. As if saying sorry makes a difference, u should suck my toes for me to make up for it! Heh..
