Surprise Meet
Friday (05/01/2007):
Today's the day.. of RE-enlistment for mE~ zZz.. Time for mE to re-pay what i owe to the army - 1 month of disruption.. actually its 38 days. I just hope i still have my 14 days of leave left to clear.. then that would mean only 24 days left.. taking away the weekends.. its only about 2 weeks~! That's a whole WORLD of a difference la... Nathan! I'm counting on u to help mE check! Thx! lol..
The bad thing is... i still have to STAY-IN! zZz... oh well.. as weili puts it.. "at least u save money on transportation..".. which is v.true actually.. but then again.. for the sake of sleeping in my own CLEAN bed etc.. probably is worth the price. Not to mention.. my time here in Sg is limited.. =
Oh ya.. i'm doing more or less clerical work in S1's office.. helping out the other clerks like Ming Ren, Joshua, Nathan and Terrence. All of which are nice ppl~ I mean.. it was only the first day and already i know all of them.. and we can talk and get along pretty well toO~ I guess that's what clerks do. lol~
And as if it couldn't get any worse.. i'm officially involved in my unit's MOB MANNING! TRIPLE KILL~!! lol.. Just got a recorded msg from Mindef this morning telling me that my mob manning period was from Jan 30th - Feb 6th. "Press 1 to acknowledge this msg.." - i was so tempted to just hang up the phone.. lol~ So fast and they include mE into their system already... >.<"
Saturday (06/01/2007):
An extremely pleasant thing happened today while i was out with the guys in the evening~ We were at Bugis @ a coffeeshop that sells nice Bak-ku-teh~ And guess who i saw??? I've not seen her for like almost 5 - 6 years already! And have tried to contact her for quite some time.. but to no avail. It was Mrs Low Geok Peng~ My Sec 3 - 4 form + physics teacher! She's the one in SAS who inspired mE alot and i had and still have alot of respect for her~ A pleasant teacher who has and IS still very patient in listening to all our woes and problems~ I remember the days back then when i would talk to her after school about some stuffs that was troubling mE.. and sometimes she would even initiate and come and talk to mE~ She's someone who truly cares deeply for her students and to me, she's indeed one of the rare teachers who actually cares about us even after we have graduated from the school... and still has our contacts! (just as we still have hers!) =D
How did we meet each other? Apparently she was already eating at the coffeeshop when the gang and i entered the coffeeshop looking for tables~ But i had not noticed her.. and she wasn't toO sure if it was mE (so she didn't dare approach me.. furthermore i was in a big group).. haha. She said i have changed alot.. taller.. more 'bigger'.. hair change. haha~
So when we finally found space to sit down.. i suddenly received an sms from her (which i was very pleasantly surprised to have received) which said, "Hi, are you in town? I saw someone who resembles you". I immediately replied, "Mrs Low!! Omg. I tot u changed number already~ Nope. I'm now at Bugis. How are u?" After replying, i suddenly felt like something was amiss.. and instinctively (like as if some higher power had induced me) i turned my head around.. and there she was with her family~ I was stunned (for about 3 sec.. lol) and waved my hand with a smile~ Then started to go over to her table.. where i stood there stunned for another sec. She still looked as young as ever to mE~ And her 2 kids had already grown up~ They had just finished their own bak-ku-teh dinner~ lol~ Mr Low took the 2 kids and their maid to the playground to entertain the kids.. leaving me and Mrs Low to sit down and chat for some time~ I kept telling her that i was so glad to finally see her after soO long.. and that i was happy. She's still teaching in SAS.. and i told her i'd visit her at least once b4 i flew back to Perth~
After our lil' conversation, she went to join back her family to go to Bugis Junction (and not J8 as pointed out to me by weili.. who keeps correcting me that the two are different.. haha. i'm such a baka..) to entertain the kids.. while i joined the guys once more. After that.. the food tasted extra delicious to mE.. haha.. and the rest of the evening just felt great to mE~ =)
After dinner.. the 8 of us - ivan, teck, stan, yap, soh, zG, weili and i, went over to Bugis Junction ourselves to walk walk.. and we stopped by Action City where zG showed another one of his famous BAKA-ness! hahaha. The shop has this 'Dancing potatoe chips bag' where u snap ur fingers and it will dance. zG said he couldn't snap.. so what did he do?? .. He put his face close to the toy and shouted a soft "Oii !" hahaha! It was damn hilarious la! I mean.. even the gal shop attendent had to turn around and burst out laughing as well la! hahaha... omG! It was just another classic 'baka' moment for zG~ lol. Some things just never change~ XD
Aiyo.. another incident happened which only mE.. stan and yap saw. >.<" I'm even embarrassed to say this la... but basically.. u know upskirt? ya.. u get the drift.
How it happened? Well.. we were taking the escalator up and there were 2 gals further in front of us.. One of them was really tall and well.. was wearing those really short 'hot pants'. Obviously.. she wasn't careful.. and.. well.. her height (long legs lo).. plus 'hot pants' and the fact that we were taking an ascending escalator and she was infront of us... well... ya.. it happened in an innocent glance... o.o"
Oh ya.. we also tried some of that Japanese ice-cream.. forgot what its called liao.. but i had the popular 'Green-tea' flavour. Suppose to relieve stress.. etc etc. Very low in fat.. or was it.. none?
What an evening it had been~ Especially when i finally met Mrs Low~ =)
