So many things to blog about

There are so many things to blog about. Happier things first.

On Sunday (14th Oct) the 3 of us finally met up! We were all so excited. Upon seeing me, Lingling was kinda in a state of shock and said I looked different. Ming Xiu wasn't in much of a shock, because she saw me last year December. It felt like old times. We just chatted and chatted non-stop. Gossiping and catching up on old times. Totally enjoyed myself that night! We went to the chong qing hot pot behind bugis. Although we queued for nearly an hour, I think it was worth the wait. Food was good and cheap. Only problem was that the seatings were rather squeezy. Well, can't help it that their business is so good.

Other than eating, we had a reunion gift exchange, where we each had to prepare a present and then we'll draw lots. I had Lingling's present (earring), Ming Xiu had my present (a pouch) and Lingling had Ming Xiu's present (a keychain with a pic of our poly days).

Some photos to recap the good times.

Our presents. Lingling gave us each a pair of earrings too. Thanks girl!


Before we head home, the 3 of us...


Ok, now for something not so nice.

I was so super pissed yesterday, to the extend I didn't wish to talk to anyone. I told my dad last Saturday that I was going to use the car on Tuesday night and he said ok. Then on Tuesday he called me 6 times while I was in class. When I called back, he asked if I was going to use the car and I said yes. Then he broke the news to me that my brother took the car out. He said that since I didn't answer the call means I don't need the car. So no choice, I had to take a long train ride down to airport to send my dear twinnie off to Japan.

Dad called me when I was on my way back and I just said I was in a cab. Who's going to pay for my cab fare? Wondered if both of them felt guilty. Then when my brother wanted to talk to me, I totally ignored him. Was so angry. And he had the cheek to tell me he promised his friends, so he had to take the car. So only he was the one who promised? My dad promised me the car, and he can break it?

Gillian asked me today, so how? I said I'm still going to ignore both of them. And her reply was, you can be so stubborn. Well, I guess no one has seen me blow my top before. It just happened yesterday. I was so angry I cried.

Felt sad for other things too. I've been going to see the doctor quite frequently these few weeks, but only one person seems to ask me, how was it. Only one. I shan't say more.

Some updates...

Decided to blog early this morning because the piano tuner is here and I have to get up real early. Ok, got up about 8.45am. But I'm still very sleepy ok?

Got back 2 tests. Scored a A+ for my grammar paper and B+ for my linguistics paper. A little disappointed by that, but nevermind, I shall continue and try to work hard.

Have this craving to go to Crystal Jade but the problem is, no one wants to go with me. Boo hoo hoo. Laogong said he will go with me, but in the end ... ... ...

Can't wait for Sunday! Will be meeting Lingling and MingXiu (and probably Linda), along with their other halfs, for dinner at ChongQing Hot Pot at Liang Seah street. Hurray! It's been awfully long since we girls had a get-together. I miss the poly days with them. If not for them, my poly days would have been hard to pass. While talking on msn, we were all so excited and it was such a girly talk. The kind of talk that guys will never understand. I bet Sunday we'll all go crazy with catching up. The last time I saw Lingling was like 2 years ago (according to her) and I saw MingXiu last year during my birthday, for a tiny weeny little while. Wow! And we're going to have a reunion gift exchange. Basically, we'll each bring one present and draw lots and see who gets whose.

Oh! Piano tuner's done. I think I can go back to bed for a while more.

Sick!

Everyone's sick at home, except my brother. Everyone's down with the flu and sore throat. I think the reason why my brother's ok is because he is hardly at home. The weather is just simply terrible!

A piece of good news that I have is that all my 8 piano students who took exam this August passed with flying colours! Although some of them really didn't deserve it, I can still look forward to a pay increase. Oh well, another 3 more months and I'm not working there anymore. Tired.
