Haha, this post is like three days late.
Sheena organised a dinner for the 07-08 NJChoir Committee, and we were to meet at City Hall MRT. I came from Toa Payoh MRT (after tution) and reached at about 6.15, but only Jing An was already there.
We were speculating on who would come next, but before I could give my final answer, Sheena showed up. We took a long time deliberating where to eat, meanwhile being joined by Ek Ping, Wanyun, Yun Tian, Yong Jian, Conan, Xuemin and Eugenia. (Eugene was already at the Esplanade area.)
In the end, according to Yun Tian's suggestion (trust the veteran, as JA says) we went to Marina Square, and finally settled on this place whose name escapes me right now, but it was that typical western food kind of place. With good dessert.
I don't really remember exactly what we talked about over dinner. I think it probably revolved around topics of school, army, food, work, choir, alumni concert etc.
Sixuan: I got my driving licence, see?
Eugenia & Xuemin: Ohhhh.
Jing An: What's that? Your student card?
Sixuan: No, it's my driving licence! (expression of glee)
Yong Jian: Haha, so what. I also can drive! Some more the one I drive is like 10 times bigger than yours.
Sixuan: Oh, so like some big tank thing? (expression of wonder)
Conan: You never tell her you can only drive at like 30km/h. *snigger*
There were also the NDP rehearsal fireworks, though from where we sat, unable to see the sky, thought it looked a lot like lightning in the sense that they lit up the buildings in flashes. After dinner, we went to take a picture outside the place.
Wanyun: Okay, let's take a picture!
[Yun Tian takes out a comb and combs her hair.]
Some of us: Aiyo!
Sixuan: Do you NEED to comb your hair?
Yun Tian: Hey, it's important, okay?
Wanyun: Let's be thankful she didn't take her mirror out like she usually does.
Sixuan: That's true!
Wanyun: If she were a more bimbo person, she'd take out perfume and spray it. You know, even though it doesn't actually show on the photo!
Afterwards we went back up and walked around, Ek Ping and Yun Tian went to the Puma shop to see if the bags EP got on sale were really going for that price. Xuemin and I got our cheaper ice-cream from this Japanese shop, and we sat down at a Starbucks table (Conan and YJ got drinks) while Eugene described the present choir situation to Eugenia, JA and me. It sounded frightening.
Then Sheena and I went home together right after, and I only got home at about 10.30pm. Though this is because she pushed back the original meeting time of 6pm to 6.30, and then we waited until 7pm for everyone to come before going to Marina Square.
I realise that I didn't know how much I wanted to see them again after so long until I actually saw them. These are people I used to see thrice a week, about 40 weeks a year, and for 2-3 years depending on which of them.
Well, at least I've tried to wrangle an assurance that when I organise another meeting at the end of the year(with those in my year since the rest will be having A levels/prom/holiday), they'll set aside the date if possible.
I miss them already!
