On Saturday night my family went to Defu Lane to have dinner! This was organised to celebrate my great grandma's (the one in blue) birthday. We had many usual but delicious stuff! I even wanted to drink beer, but my dad said its bad for the brain. Maybe its his tactic to not let me drink? haha well if it is then he succeed! The picture on the right is my favourite dish! haha its called "fruitti prawns" or something likedat. The prawns are so fresh that when you have your first bite you may think that it is some very Q fishball! Of course the taste is NOT like a fishball. The meat is tender to the maximum and the red colour says "come and bite me!" haha. And so I did. If you feel that the homemade salad makes you feel uncomfortable, try the fruits that comes along with it. Its a mixture of watermelon, honeydew and bits of mango. Heavenly. haha. Try it if you can! Price is SGD$28.00 for "big". haha.
Well, after the meal i talked to great grandma(GGM) and asked her if she felt happy having so many of us to sit down and have a spread with her. She said yes and I felt happy for her too, because having us to eat with her is what she yearn for everyday. To have a family kind of feeling. Nowadays, people are so busy to even spend time and sit down with the whole family and have a meal. The only time it will happen will surely be some special occasion. Though it may be even more meaningful to eat as a family now compared to the past times because of the rare opportunities in a whole year, people can hardly feel the existance of family bonding. In the past, parents cried for days when their children go overseas for some time, but now, children may not even feel the need to inform their parents where they are going.
These few weeks, while going back to Simei, I did actually spend some time to talk to my GGM while waiting for the time to come to go out. It may be only fifteen minutes, but I can see that she enjoys it, as no one else will sit down and have a chat with her. People will just feel that she is old and naggy and it is a waste of energy to talk to her. But I quite like to talk to her, to lighten up her life a little bit, and make her feel that she is absolutely NOT unwanted. I will try to do that more often, or for longer period of time.
Sunday morning met my PW members at Woodland Mrt station. We planned to actually go to Chai Yan's house, but his sister is doing her 'O' levels. So the venue changed to my house instead. We just spend like three hours to amend our presentation. I told her I wanted to go Jurong Point (JP) to get some stuff after that. She also said she want to go library to get some romance books. I think that the idea was great and I will be able to be with her a little while more. But when we were leaving my house for Causeway Point (CWP), we hurried out without having the chance for me to get changed. After eating, I was considering to go JP or not, while wearing quite unsuitbale clothes. What is my motive of going all the way there? (I want to walk you home you idiot!) I decided to give up. So in all, we did not go to the library and JP. I waited for them to go up the station and I turned back to CWP to get a card for Mason.
At night, she talked to me on MSN, saying that she can now use her computer! I was so happy that she shared something with me. When I called her almost immediately, I can hear her laughter which filled me with blessings. Love to see and hear her happy. =)
Today, my school was having moderation day, so the students practically have nothing to do, except to participate in sports, like a mini sports carnival, class on class. My class did not join anything though, as we thought it will be troublesome. But after talking to Kenneth, I kind of regret not playing basketball as a class.
After everyone left, at about 1+, I borrowed Royston's phone and earpiece. I just lie down on the wooden bench and close my eyes. When was the last time I did this? I used to just be at somewhere where I can relax my mind, watching those clouds sliding across the sky. So I took this chance to "emo" and sort of rest. I fell asleep for awhile and sit up to take a clearer look at the sky. The beauty of nature. Who will thought of haiving all while and pale blue on the sky? The colour combination is just so smoothing. Even the big green trees at the basketball court looks so compatible with the sky.
While sitting up, I saw a soccer ball somewhere next to me. I picked up the ball and go on the field. I loved the field. So green and a perfect place for my favourite sport. Although I was the only one there, I truely enjoyed myself. I just keep shooting on goal and trained my left leg a bit. I can pump long balls now! Got to try somemore buring training tomorrow! Do not rain please! haha.
Went home after that. On my way, I thought of : Iodine on theory needs another atom to make it stable, but if you look closer, it already have so many atoms with her, what is the difference if she can have another one? What if the atom caused more mutual repulsion? Will the Iodine be happy? She is happy now, why add a burden to her? Ray, DO NOT destroy the happiness of Iodine.
