Met up with e Sweden/Vilhelmsro SMU gang yesterday. Lots of fun and e Japanese buffet at Hanabi was more than filling! Spent most of e evening exchanging travel stories and ghastly hostel rooms in Athens and Rome. Luckily for Kel and I, we didn't stay much in bad hostels and we mainly got double rooms in cheaper hotels. But we shared their sentiments as we spent a uncomfortable night at a Rome hostel too when we decided to go 1 day earlier and didn't have a place to stay.


And Michelle brought along my international yearbook and e CD from e shoot, yay! Here're some excerpts from the photoshoot the school arranged (although I think I look x10 fat in these... and e bright lights make me look so washed out even though I had make up on..) : (

Time flies e fastest when you're in great company, soaking in love and friendship, letting the good times roll. Kel took a day off from work on Friday, so our weekend started early. I treated him to an afternoon dessert buffet at Fullerton Hotel, where we lounged in comfy couches enjoying tea and coffee. Sitting there people-watching in mid-day Shenton Way conditions was oddly therapeutic in a way, like the world moves around you yet you're the constant, like you maintain equilibrium amidst the rush.


It's been awhile since we strolled hand in hand without any agenda in mind, just aimless (in that nice, carefree-throw-caution-to-the-wind-i-love-you-forever way) and enjoying each other's company. The weather couldn't have been more cooperative - light breezes and cloudy skies took us right back to Europe, which wasn't too long ago : )


And then we stumbled into The Arts House and into the Antoni Gaudi exhibition (we visited a lot of his architecture and works when we were in Barcelona), which was a deja-vu of sorts. Kel pointed to several pictures and said, "hey we were standing right there!" And I couldn't fight the nostalgia that was creeping in... everything seems like it happened only yesterday.




Finally, to cap off the evening, I surprised him with a couple spa massage treat, which he totally wasn't expecting, so it was good : )


On Saturday, it was time to get out of our comfort-luxury zone of the previous day, and out into the field. The first rounds of our self-coined "Premier League". Met up with e other 6 for a round of Soccer (I scored a whooping 5 goals!) and when it started to pour, headed indoors for a few games of Basketball. It's been eons since I played competitively (so to speak).. perhaps since JC?


Dinner, ice-cream and much cam-whoring later, we finally got a lane for bowling! (Which the rest were much better at, boohoo!)
