14 Feb 2009

I woke up at the usual time I always do when I'm not working, 10am. Eating my breakfast sluggishly. Doing nothing in the morning. Then, I ate my lunch at around 1pm. After my lunch, I rushed down to Eastpoint to have my Japanese lesson. Haha, Kuriyama-Sensei's class is still lively and interesting.

Shortly after my lesson, Luvena came to find Fang Qi and me. Then, we sat down at the food court and had some desserts while waiting for Derek. The-guy-who-just-went-into-the-service came shortly after our dessert time. Glad to hear that his training isn't as tough as my time. Well ,he is from Pes C after all. There is quite a huge difference in our training style, so we do not have much common thing to talk about BMT life... Well, I always try not to think of my BMT life, since there is nothing exciting happened, and I was not close to any of my platoon-mates or even section-mates... But everything just came out of my mind when I see the scar I have left during those times on my right hand...

Pushing those aside, Fang Qi and I received gifts from those 2 again. Derek gave us Famous Amos Cookies and Luvena gave us Ferreo Rocher... And Fang Qi and I, once again, were not prepared with any gifts or whatsoever... We were discussing where to head... Well, I did plan this outing, but I really cannot think of any place to hang out, so I thought may be we could discuss it once we met each other... Luvena wanted to go Marina Square to check out for new mp3s, but I was not properly dressed for urban outings, so I went home and changed.

We did not set out immediately to City Hall when I came back to Simei, Derek wanted to buy some Chicken Essence, and we went down to Fairprice to get some.

Unfortunately, the Creative Store in Marina Square was closed at that time when we arrived. Sigh. Anyway, we still need to find a place for our dinner. The restaurants were mostly packed with numerous pairs of couples. I suggested the ramen restaurant that is situated in the corner of the mall as it is usually left alone since it is not strategically located... Always left in a corner... However, due to the occasion, there were many customers seen over there. Still, there were quite a few of empty seats seen.

The ramen taste great, I like the soup base. People should patronise more often, it is quite poor thing to see the shop like "condemned" in a corner... And there is no service charges! The usual set meals which cost $15 and $18, students can get it for $10 and $12 at all days!!! Just flash one student card, and you can get the special offer for the whole table!!!

It appeared that we went to the city just for a dinner, because we went back Tampines straight after that... The main objective of the night was finally here! To go Derek's house and see the new member of his family! His little brother! Introducing............ New Year the Maltese! Yes, it is a cute little puppy. Haha. It is so adorable! But too playful... It is said that this Maltese came appeared at his doorstep during Chinese New Year, it seems lost, so Derek's parents decided to take care of this little puppy, and gave him the name New Year since it happened in that period. I played with him for a while, and took several pictures with him. But I could not post it since my computer is still infected with Trojan... T_T

When Derek drove us home, and he finally asked Fang Qi to take his Chicken Essence out (Which was lying in her bag ever since he bought it). He then revealed the true intention of buying it, it is for my mother! Haha, so nice of him!
