went to study with clarence and carmella at some place near our places, a cute joint that was rather heartland-ish, but was conducive nonetheless...
we were at macs across the road for about an hour and a half first because it was raining and we went there before it opened...
the rest of the 4 hours or so passed by quickly, and in that period of time i tuned in to the radio (not by choice, but because it was playing and i didn't wanna waste my iPod battery), and i realized how long its been since i've listened to regular radio rather than tracks off my iTunes playlist or youtube/dailymotion vids... its fun coz it blends new tracks with those i had not heard in a while, and it was a pleasant throwback to the 90's and early 2000's, spice girls and the lot...
besides an appreciation for radio, i did take back some studying, though i've got miles to go (before i sleep, and miles to go before i sleep)
gonna study in school with the five.nine ppl tomorrow, hope its equally fruitful...
then its ff2 at night...
met sean and darius at orchard for dinner, and the rest of the night was one in which i felt more relaxed than i have in quite a while...
from the time we met at iShop wheelock, we just started chatting about anything and everything, and the conversation never ran dry all till just before midnight...
we walked most of paragon, then settled in din tai fung for dinner, where sean recounted his experience of pulau tinggi...
looking at some pics from my class blog, the place did seem kinda picturesque, but i'll take sean's side and lament the third-world-ness of the whole thing... like i said, were i him, i'd never have gone...
pre-u sem was not worth it...
and i also realized that i've not really been making the effort to keep in the gossip loop as i should be, and i've missed out on some stuff ppl have said about others and myself even... its fun to find out what ppl really think when you're not around...
post-dinner, we headed to darius' new apartment at draycott 8, an uber-modern affair that is really chic...
we went to the colonial club house first for 2 games of pool and a little tour, then up to his apartment to just chat the night away, recounting our times in primary school, secondary school, and IP for darius and myself...
it was hilarious and just so relaxing...
it really shows that it doesn't matter how long a friend has been out of the country - you can just pick up where you've left off and let it roll from there...
under my umbrella, ella ella, ey ey ey,
jlc(aines).
