One of the restaurants I used to frequent for a number of years, Essential Brew, has rewarded my constant patronage by sticking a picture of me with javier and sean on it's homepage.
And in other news: perhaps I should have saved this, my 1000th post, for a more seminal occasion, but I thought that since every post is in itself unique, there's no reason not to blog.
On further thought, today is pretty significant, for a few reasons I can think of off the top of my head. It's been exactly a week since Bintan, and I think I've more or less recovered from that high, along with the high of the rest of those days after. I think I've also managed to wrap my mind around my new unemployed status (I used to be able to fill in 'Student' in that blank), and as a member of the frictionally unemployed, it has it's perks, most important of which is the lack of any thoughts of study, work or things of that ilk. Today makes it officially a week before Philippines, and I think it was around this period before Phuket last year that I really started looking forward to it, as am I now. I think we'll all find that being around the same folks again will be a good thing, since it's been weird not having seen everyone together, aside from prom, and even then we had to divide our time between so many different groups.
Each night that passes this week marks the end of one prom or another, and I've had the chance to take a look at the photo albums that my NJ IP mates posted. While out yesterday, I bumped into Lex who asked if I was going for their post-prom party, but I wasn't sure then. Ultimately I gave it a miss, though it would have been nice to see everyone again. I'm not sure if my classmates went though, and I asked Cherry and she too wasn't going, and Darius isn't in the Singapore yet, so it would have been a little odd. I also passed by Bugis Street on my little jaunt out yesterday, and two thoughts crossed my mind. The first was that it looked quite a lot like the street stalls which I visited on all my three trips to Phuket, with goods of dubious origin abounding. The second was that I was reminded of my work experience at Raffles Hospital accounting back in '06, when I used to wonder around that area for lunch during the week I was there. That and the MOE thingum late last year are my only 2 experiences of work, which is quite honestly redundant when I think about what I'm applying to read in the future.
So that's my 1000th post, and here's to a thousand more where that came from.
