A week well spent

Truly a week well spent. Thursday I went for a gathering for our dear uncle iceberg who came back from Spain. 13 of us ate our hearts out in Sakae Sushi buffet. It was just like our hall times once again. To be honest I still felt a slight gap between me and this bunch of old friends. Maybe it was because I've been away for a year. Even then, I really love meeting up with these people who've walked me through most of my university life. These friends are the rare few that I always feel I can chat my heart out with them. Hope that in time I can make up for the lapse. .Everyone looked contented after the sumptuous meal

San Min, Wendy, me and Ah Woo. The other 5 guys sitting at the table behind us. =)

Then on Saturday, I went to meet Carolyn Chi Chi for lunch in Citylink, followed by some 'afternoon stroll' (for exercise, heh) in Suntec. =) I brought her the 'pong piah' from Penang, and she brought me two pairs of her shoes, one stain remover to fix my sun dress, and a nice embroidered white shirt. She always manage to surprise me by being super attentive to details -> she remembered that my sun dress needs fixing even though I just mentioned to her once! Thanks a lot Chi Chi, you're the best! ;)

After that GC and I went to WestMall and IMM to shop for the sandals that he needed badly (cuz he has a blister from wearing the previous one). He lit up the whole evening with glitters of magic by simply buying me a big fat yellow sunflower! It is the only flower that can make me smile whenever, wherever and however. Hehe, I felt blissfully happy holding the huge stalk of sunshine, walking through throngs of weekend shoppers in our hunt for the sandals. I hope he finds the thing I quietly slipped into his bag. =P

Me and my stalk of sunshine

It is always in times of void and loneliness, that we learn that happiness comes from nowhere but within. In the land of plenty, most people feel as though they don't have enough. I felt so too. It was only through the pain of loss that I realized how rich and poor I am. Rich because there are many people who love me, but poor because I don't know how to love others properly. Sometimes I'll get a feeling of sudden lightning strike and I'll want so much to burst out and give my love ones a big hug. Today is one of those times.

I just hope that everyone knows how much he/she has made me a happy person.
