Over so soon...
Time is passing fairly quickly for 2007... It's already July, and a new school semester has started for me. It's so depressing that the holidays are already over when I've just started to have fun.
My holidays kinda got off on the wrong foot when my little brother was admitted into the hospital on 12 May (Mothers' Day). He was diagnosed with a growth in his large intestine that needed to be removed immediately. It was really devastating and I took it pretty hard by blaming myself for the whole incident. (I'll pass recounting the details.., but it made me realise how much I cared about his well-being.) Anyway, he is much better now and he is back in school.
Times like that (which I've had enough of!) never fails to highlight the friends and relatives who cares. I am thankful for having these people in my life; I know who they are and I am grateful towards them. Life is made easier and happier with these people in my life... Enough 'emo' bits, I'll move on to the more enjoyable parts of my holiday:
- Fidz was back during the time when my brother was warded, so we spent a little bit of time together shopping for her gift as well as Tina's. Shopping was more of a secondary task.. the point was really to just spend time with her (also to help cheer me up) like we used to before she had her wings. Well, she rarely comes back and when she does, she'll prolly look up her 'fiance' first. I try to be really understanding when it comes to friends and their partners..... erm, actually no, not really! Hah! =P
- The barbeque dinner that we (Kerry, Naim, Don, Indri, Chin & I) had, was more enjoyable than I expected (given the depressing situation that I was going through..). From the grocery shopping to the marinating to the grilling... it was nothing but friends getting together, eating and chilling out. De-boning chicken thighs was pretty memorable for me, less all that blood (not mine!), and I was fairly proud of my 'Grilled Stingray in Banana Leaf' - the chilli was kinda weird though! :P It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of the exams!
- I might have underrated cycling as a past-time... It was the most tranquilising thing to just whizz down the tracks, enjoying the sea breeze, the lush greenery, the sunshine, and the company of good friends (Nura, Ade & George) - not to mention that it is a cheap and healthy form of entertainment! Of course that is excluding the picnic that we voraciously downed after that... =) The stable at Pasir Ris Park was also worth the stop-over 'cos not only were we able to come into close contact with the horses (without entering the premises), the stallions were a real eye-opener! Well, I've heard of their reputation for being well-endowed, but seriously, they looked monstrous even when limp!!! Ok, back to the PG - the dwarf ponies were really cute!
I did loadsa other stuff during my break, like chilling out with Chin at Siloso Beach (got streaky tan from that!), and going blading/cycling with Xinni at East Coast Park (she was falling all over the place, hah!), but I shan't go into details 'cos that'll make this entry way too looong. The point is, I had fun with my friends and I don't think I'll ever have enough of them! =D
