Alright I'll begin with Friday!
So I reached Singapore at 7.45 PM on Friday and it was kind of delayed. I should have landed at 7.20 but well due to unforeseen circumstances I was delayed. I was supposed to meet Jeslyn, Adeline, Meng Fung, Weiqi and Neal for a Korean dinner at 9 PM, and I just left the airport at like 8.20 and yea was running late. It was made more hectic when I realised my phone ran out of balance and I had to scramble my way haha.
Reunited again!
Nevertheless I met them at 9.20 PM whew and we headed to 2D1N for Korean food! Been craving for my favourite Pajeon (onion pancake) and I got it double-satisfied by ordering Pajeon and Kimchi-jeon mwahaha. The rest of the food were awesome too like the Chicken stew and the deep-fried pork and chicken with the awesome sauce! After dinner (or supper) we made our way home and as for me, back to the hotel.
Saturday began early for me. I met Yiyin, Jesslyn and Ashley for breakfast at Chinatown. It's good to meet with them again! After like a long time (graduation!). I had Bakchor mee for breakfast and we were just sharing our stories about work, and Ashley about NS. Reminds me of our ITP days. Just that we're no longer dreading our FYP haha.
From Chinatown I made my way to Bedok to have lunch (more of snacks for me) with Syaz. Though we bumped with each other in August, it's also been a long time since we sat down for a chat together! It's good to hear that she's doing well in Uni and we're just exchanging stories about our lives. And also uhh about how annoying children can be cause of an incident at the place we ate hahaha. Inside joke.
First half of Saturday!
So after meeting Syaz I made my way to Lavender to meet Jolene, Sharon and Weilun. First stop was Windowsill on the Woods (right?) where we had awesome pie! Sad to hear that the kitchen wasn't opened yet and since the three of them were hungry we moved over to Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee Bar for a great lunch. I would really love to try their coffee but I'm not willing to trade my gastric with them so yes :/ But anyway it's also been long since we talked together, since Jolene was in Aussie and Weilun was in army. So it's great to catch up with them again! Here's to more reunions okay :D
And I went to meet my Candy, Kai and Vithya in the evening for a drink at Holland! First stop was at Wala for their happy hours. Charmaine joined us for a while, before we left for Taboo. Sadly Taboo was playing uhh not-so-great music that night so we decided to leave for Clarke Quay where we had shots at Chupitos. Their Reese Peanut Butter shot was great, and also Paddle Pop! Best shot ever! Haha. Since Candy is leaving for Australia in Feb, and Vithya too in June, not sure when we can have a drink together again. Well, Saturday night was definitely a night we'll remember! :)
Last half of Saturday!
Sunday began early again with me having breakfast with Caihong at Tiong Bahru market! Had a plate of my favourite chicken rice there! It's been almost almost a year since we met. It's great to hear from you again :) Before meeting Brenda for lunch I went to Mangala Vihara again to join their Sunday service just like the good old days :) It's a place where I seek my weekly refuge on Sunday. And it sure brings back a lot of memories.
Met Brenda at Raffles City for a lunch at Skinny Pizza. Their English Breakfast pizza is really good. But their mushroom risotto tastes more like cheese risotto haha. Exchanging our life stories thus far is pretty exciting! Good to hear that Brenda has a few exciting things lined up for her! I wish you all the best for that alright :) We also went to the Magnum creation store thingy outside of Raffles City and made our own ice cream which is diviiine!
Sunday morning and afternoon with 2 lovely ladies
And then I rushed back to the hotel to put my stuff down and make my way to Esplenade to catch SPSB 37th MD! It's a great time reuniting with my batch mates after a really long time, and I must say that the concert was a splendid one! All my favourite songs, from my favourite composers, Shostakovich and Bert Appermont! Special mention to Jitxin for the wonderful Rhapsody in Blue for solo trumpet! And just wanna congratulate everyone for finishing this concert, especially the year 3s. You deserve it!
I know photography isn't allowed but oh well
And yup that's Sunday. For my last day in Singapore, which was Monday, I managed to complete my shopping in the morning before I manage to spend some time to catch a movie I've been wanting to watch which is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty! Yup I watched the movie alone which is fine haha. After the movie I went to Tanjong Pagar to meet Carmen and Tacy for a ramen lunch! Thank you for making your way to Tanjong Pagar for the lunch together! Good to see you again :) And lets meet again alright!
Monday monday
And that is all for my trip. Special thanks to Adeline for sending me off to the airport! :)
To be honest these 4 days didn't feel like a holiday to me at all. They felt like a normal weekend I used to have back in Singapore a year ago. A Friday night out with my secondary school clique, a Saturday out, which usually ends with a drink. Sunday affair at the temple, and where I usually catch band concerts on Sunday evenings. Well maybe it is because I spent so much years in Singapore that Singapore doesn't feel like a holiday destination for me.
But more of a second home :)
Alright that's all for me now. It was a great 4 days! As you can see it is a packed one too, but it's worth it! I met the people whom I planned to meet, done the things I planned to do, satisfied my cravings and watched a movie I wanted to watch haha. Alright, hope to see you again very soon Singapore!
