Friggy's Last Weekend

It's friggy's last weekend in sg.
he asked some of us to watch charlie and the choc factory w him on sat morning.
so bryan and myself joined friggy for the show.
after dat, we met michelle k, leslie, michelle eng and jarrod for lunch at the market cafe at merchant court hotel for the buffet lunch. food was not bad. talked and ate.

after dat, bryan went home, while michelle eng met her good fren and godsis to watch betrayal at dbs arts centre i think. so jarrod, mich k, leslie, friggy and myself went down to paragon to shop.
friggy needed to get a hotplate for his trip to the states. and he still wun tell us wat time is his flight and all.
while i needed to get clothes for work. not enough long sleeve shirts and ties to last at least 2 weeks.

jarrod, not being the shopping person (i pity his future gf), went to the national library at taka to do his reading while the 4 of us went to g2000 at wisma to buy my clothes. it wasn't too bad. spent 45mins there, and got myself 4 shirts, 2 pants and 2 ties. spent a grand total of $370.40 :)
could have gotten an additional 15% off if i had ms snooze's discount card. they used to allow customers to quote i/c numbers but now they require customers to produce the card itself. so i called ms snooze to see if she was in town. heard some funny ringtone and i remembered dat she is shopping in bangkok !! dang !!
the cashier told me dat the amt i spent could entitle me to a discount card too but they're not giving them out right now. the discount card giveaway period over liao. so suay rite ?
wanted to not buy the clothes and to go get them when i've gotten the card from her, but saw dat the girl at the cashier had started cutting the tags off the clothes liao. i know as a customer, i prolly have the right to say i dun wana buy liao. but nm la. will need the clothes and wun have time to go shop over the next 2 weekends coz of feast day dinner and carnival.

my church's is having a carnival on 11 sept. do come and look for me if u're coming. den spend a little money and enjoy urself. church is in clementi. above notice not applicable to ppl from holy cross.

anyway... back to my story... after shopping, mich and leslie had to go off coz they had a bbq to go too...
so friggy, j and i went to cine to watch another movie in the evening. so we watched 'the march of the penguins'
it's such a good show, even tho it's some documentary. the penguin chicks are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute la. wana get one for myself also... but it'll b v irresponsible to keep them here in sg's weather. like the evil owner of the huskie who was reported in the papers. or was it the news?

went for dinner at waffletown at balmoral plaza after dat. den went home, went online, watched bone collector and went to sleep.

today was a quieter day... not so many activites. went church as usual. touched on my relationship w tmg during sharing. talked abt how i see god in this, how i'm choosing to cope w it. and if the relationship was worth it. made me think a little. some of the younger peeps were saying they dun wana get into a relationship coz it's all heartaches and heart breaks if things dun turn out well. but guess they dun see the bliss and happiness and joy experienced while in the relationship. and i had all dat. and i'll cherish those times.
it's how no matter how sucky ur day has been and when u hear her voice on the fone at the end of the day, all these troubles juz seem so far away coz the angelic voice will juz bring u the peace and calm u need.
it's how no matter sucky ur week has been and when u see dat beautiful face, u'll forget all the troubles and spend ur weekend in the embrace of ur loved one. it's juz something u cannot experience if u're not in a relationship. having a really close fren is definitely not the same as a gf/bf.

so anyway...after sharing, went to lunch in clementi and went to the snookerium to play ghost squad. it's so cheap there la... it's $2 a credit at most places but it's on $1.20 over there. so played a while and went home. watched tv coz bro was watching his star wars vcd at the comp.
had dinner and watched 'homerun'.

my test is tom. it's gona b the 3rd time i'm taking it... hope it's 3rd time lucky. if i pass, den it's off to work on tue morning. den the clothes will come in handy. think i'll bring my pants to g2000 at westmall to have them altered tom.

it's kind sad dat friggy is gona leave for 2 years. tho he's a priest and all, we've all become frens.
it's been quite an experience to go out dinnering, lunching, movie-ing, shopping and juz discussing church issues w him. i thank god for his presence here in holy cross, for having the vision to bring the different youth groups together and forming vc. i wish him good luck and god's blessings in his studies in chicago.

guess people coming in and moving out of our lives are part and parcel of growing and life.
sometimes ppl enter our lives and make an impact and leave a print somewhere in our hearts.
sometimes ppl enter and leave and nothing is changed.
sometimes ppl enter our lives, make an impact and change our lives.
change is inevitable but how i wish dat change will not b a constant in our lives all the time.
sometimes, i juz wish change will juz leave me alone.
i'm not exactly a change-friendly person. to quote tmg, i'm pretty change averse.

but change will be there and all we can do is to adjust accordingly.
time to sleep liao... tom need to study.
pray for me and wish me luck !!
