Looking for a light

Yesterdae went ot meet 01A55, was an ok dinner, luckily enough we managed to finish the food, and that was after muchy persuasion by me. Gotta take note in the future not to buy too much food, expecially when more than half of the diners are girls. Pri ate garlic bread, and most of them took about one slice, if not two at most. Each fo the guys took about 3 slices. I think I must have eaten about 5 slices altogether, and in a desperate attempt to finisht he last piece I dissected the slcie into 5 small pieces and divided it amongst the ppl around me. It was quite fun, there was lotsa laughter as always. I remembered Charissa ermaking that I havent changed. Hmm, I'll take that as a compliment, since I did notice a change in some of the people around me. The guys havent changted much, if not for the better. I guess ebging in NS opens your eyes up, and pulls the rug from right below your feet. We no longer live with certain illusions of life that we once possesed as students., instead we see life in SIngapore as it truly is.

So in a way we are all much more sober in one way or another. Of cos there are exceptions, but I think this "sobering-up" applies to most of us, even if we don't especially show it.

My only regret was dat with ten ppl at the table, it was still split into two. Sometimes I dont understand how come girls cant talk in bigger groups, maybe its cos they feel more secure in "opening up" to smaller groups. so it was kinda awkward that with 10- ppl at the same table, we were still divided 5 and 5. Shuls and Pri had to go off soon enough, and Jia Jun and Mag went soon after even withjout us realising it. Daph Charissa and Jasmine came to join the guys at Istan Park, where we actually talked collectively as a group for the first time dat night. Overall it was an ok night. Realli wished Mel had been around but well, dats dat.

My thanx to all the ppl who made the effort to turn up last night (Daph, Cherry, Shulster, Pri, Mag, Jun, Just, Dong, Jas and Bono), particularly to;

Jasmine, whom I hadnt seen in a long time, thanx for organising the whole thing and getting so many ppl down. Had a good talk on the way home. Absolutely the most level-headed and rationale girl I know.

Dong, Jus and Bono, the A55 guys, some things never change, and I'm glad you guys havent.

Bert, as usual thanx for the ride. I feel bad that I always lompang u and dont pay for it, but Im grateful that I have somebody who is willing to lend a hand so easily. I noe many who would rather not.

I can't wait for Uni to come back next week, its already wednesday today, and in about 8 days, she'll be back. Ive been telling her to no longer go for such long trips and leave me alone down here, but in a way its a blssing cos i realise how things would be without her, and realise how much she means to me. Its gonna be a busy week, long hours today and tommorow. Maju on Saturday and soccer game on Sunday.

But i guess the exhaustion is worth it, at least this time around.
