Happy Deepavali!
Somehow a public holiday within a work week is always welcome!
DE-fferent
Last Friday there was no basketball; instead there was some Cap's ball and soccer with your provision shop $1.50 ball. Kind of brought me back to the days of primary school soccer which was one of the root causes of my near-autistic childhood... they scolded me everytime I played with them...
"STOP!"
Well, after that we met up at Downtown East to do some recce for the upcoming CPC chalet. The whole carpark at the front became a -
...multi-storey carpark. I was quite upset as the old carpark at night time used to be one of the memories I held dearly of DE... memories of cabbing home with Mom 'cause I couldn't stay overnight...
Tsk. Getting emo all of a sudden.
The carpark looked quite impressive, though, from the chalet area. At night.
Touring round the chalet area, Edmund and Kai Guan were remeniscing about their stays here n years ago... and kept expressing their amazement at how they managed to squeeze Wild Wild Wet into the space between DE and Aranda.
OK they haven't been there for a really long time. Everytime HO has a chalet at DE, it wouldn't be complete without WWW.
Well, it really won't be too nice if the only thing we can swim in is Poo, would it?
The chalet is decided! We would be taking the Christmas holiday package. A bit expensive but it's worth the holiday mood. So we thought.
Unexpected
We went to Wala Wala again on Saturday to watch the Unexpected Band... we had to wait a bit due to some technical difficulties, but once they started there was no more questions about why we came!
I took a photo of Jon in sepia effect... kind of liked it.
ORD
It's difficult not to think of ORD. And even more so when landmarks are chanting the 3 letters in your face.
Ord Bridge. It was apparently named after some official of old by the surname of Ord, but... what a nice surname to have!
Even less easier it becomes, when magazines entitled NSMan start appearing in your pile of subscribed magazines!
Until you discover they're actually June/July issues, kept by your Dad who thought you ain't going to read it anyway.
Operation Katong
Kelvin, Jon and I (we're really going out quite often huh) went for lunch at Aston's at Katong... the steak was good! I ordered this Prime Ribeye Extra cut, for the quantity and for my emotional attachment to that "E" word. The subsequent trip to Cold Storage was almost equally protein-charged.
After that we went for pool. It's really quite stressful, playing with Kelvin. Haha.
Kelvin was full of praises for Jon's posture... well...
Kelvin in action! I Kind of liked the white ball "caught in motion"
Following that was a shopping spree at Parkway. Thirst probably got to us so much that we decided to buy this budget fruit juice drink, 1 litre each. I was initially a bit repulsed by the bottle 'cause the transparency sort of gave me this "detergent" feel, but the mango flavoured one caught my attention, so, Cheers!
P.S. Feeling a bit nostalgic now, watching GTO...
