Gathering

Friday 22-Aug

Ex-colleagues gathering.

Usha has gotten married in India. It never fails to amaze me how some people have the courage to marry someone they hardly know. I guess they must have made a calculated risk and decided to go for it. Our Prime Minister says that match-making works for some, and encourages Singaporeans to go for it if necessary.

Chalet @ Parsir Ris

Tim's BD celebration. The guys are just laughing a lot, playing "five-ten" guessing game not to be forefieted with liquor but with food. It helps to clear the buffet table full of Satays, corn, sweet potatoes, garlic bread, salmon & sotongs.

I always feel warm when people (friends & family) make an effort to go for stuff like that.

I mean, any party or gathering may not be like most glam or most fun. So, you do not go with an expectation of being entertained. You go just because of friendship or kinship. So, I like.

It was also very nice to be catching up with cousie Liang.

I mean, it's been a while since we chatted so we had lots to catch up.

Also, cousie Alex came like midnight and we played the ususal "chor dai di", "24" and "Gin Rummy".

I couldn't sleep much, cos I need familiarity & comfort mostly.
