So Long, Farewell.

24th October 2008
11.22pm

My stomach hurts & I can't stop hiccuping. My throat's itching like madness, my eyes are burning. So I'm here once again to pledge the happenings of today, way toooooo happening.

Spent my entire afternoon engaged in some in depth reading of the new book I borrowed from the library after being left totally breathless reading the previous one - It was way too draggy. At leat the former is far cooler & upbeat. I love indulging in words. They keep me company.

Left home at about 4.30pm to meet WeiTing at Tampines to get William & Chewy something for their farewell. We bought William a really adorable card which everyone penned on it later on, & Chewy a bee with three yellow strips on its body to symbolise 3B. This is it, 3B's gonna have 3 bananas missing from next year onwards (Including Shuhao who had already left for Canada). What's with the declining population & growth of bananas? But let's give each other a promise, that the 2 leaving bananas will forever join us for any outings. 3B 2008 will forever be 3B 2008.

Met the rest of the class at Pasir Ris MRT. Rung everyone to check attendance & coincidentally, both main characters (Will & Chewy) reached the latest. Met the other half of the fleet at Downtown East Sakura.

This is, by far, one of the most sucessful & receptive outing, since more than half the class was present. Total of 23 people turned up which left the bill to about $584.40 or so, if my brain hasn't failed me. Collecting money was a chore & returning the change was even worse. But nonetheless I must comment on the food. It was heavenly. I love the sashimi. I kept pinching them out of my platter & into my mouth until I could feel the urge to puke once I detect the taste. The food was savoury, thinking about the cash I've deposited into Sakura's earnings.

Anna, Chewy, WeiTing, Jerlyn, Lixuan, Vivien, Hosy.

Chewy with Bee.

Mama Fish + Papa Fish.

Really looooooooong dinning table for us to feast. Imagine Hogwarts.

Chewy's platter; High class dining!

WeiTing the glutton, eat & eat & eat.

WeiTing & Victor.

Fish eggs in the fish. Way cool but Chewy said it was bitter so I gave it a miss :D

Still motion, not the chewing motion.

Kevin: Vivien, if you wish to take a photo of me, you can just tell me, I'll let you do it. Don't snap me sneakily.
And so, he did :D

WeiTing, Chewy & Lewis!

Food to drool :D

My love.

WeiTing & me :D

23 Bananas!

Girls!

After Sakura, which was around 9pm, we trudged down to Pasir Ris Park. Boy, it was dark. We all decided (but some, relunctantly) to take a stroll down the mangrove boardwalk to the other side so that it was nearer to the beach. The path was entirely pitch dark cos' there wasn't any lamppost or whatsoever. But I must thank technology, for they created handphones with torch :D So, carefully we ambled down the boardwalk & emerged at another side of Pasir Ris Park only to let mosquitoes (falsetto voice here) feed on us.

Trespassed into the renovating maze in the park. Got bitten on the foot by some unknown bug. Ben went berserk. He walked a totally different route & didn't wanna pick Clement's phone up when we were leaving. Until now, I have no news of him. Haha. Took the mangrove path back to light when I finally left for home.

"When I had laid it on the floor I turned to blow the fire aflame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And some one called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air."
Song of the Wandering Angus -William Butler Yeats

Mark my words, we won't ever let the friendship die :)
