so with a little skillful stealth, i managed to surprise Elendrus and Clarence who were there shopping for the exact same occasion.
since i was still some time away from meeting Darius, i followed them to The Cocoa Tree for a little look-see, and helped ET decide on his final 3 gifts.
Darius and i walked to Centrestage at Marina Square, and after Weige arrived, we decided on Spageddies, the place i ate at on my 18th Birthday earlier this year. Food and conversation were thoroughly enjoyable, and it was good to catch up with an old friend (who will be in Oxford for PPE later this year) and one who i see every 8 months.
we took a little jaunt around the mall, ending up at Muji for more chat and looking at merchandise of questionable usefulness before parting.
as it stands, i may not be able to give stuff to all the tutors i had planned, but we'll see how it goes. i'm sure they know that i do appreciate their efforts, and i hope my efforts in the past 2 years have been reciprocal at the very least.
