A Weekend Spent with Friends

it was reinvigorating to be able to just get away from work for the weekend and just be in the company of great friends =)

it started on friday night with cg cny dinner part II. we had express steamboat, ie everything was cooked steamboat style in the pot on the hob, so that we could have the food faster. we had massive quantities of food; two pots of tomyum AND two pots chicken soup to share among the 6 of us. and of course, the big piles of bak kua which sean brought back from his weekend escapade to kuala lumpur.



on saturday, jyy mei came to camb. she hasn't changed much-- as glam as usual, but with a lot more exciting updates this time, haha!

we did the usual touristy things: punting and college visits. and i am embarrased to say that i just found out that the bridge just outside magd is the cam bridge that tsu zhi mo referred to in his famous poem. i cross that bridge everyday.




then we met mabel. the three of us were secondary school classmates.



in the evening, it was dinner with weishen, jinyang and his sis, and hongking before going to mnite.

mnite was good entertainment; a light-hearted evening that brought to memory all things malaysian, even the area overlooking the words SOUTH COURT at midvalley. the pontianak dance was good. i don't think it was provocative at all; it was like a ballet pas de duex to me. kenneith clearly did it again!

sun was spent in church/ grafton/ zara/ h&m with jyy mei. she tried to help me get an outfit for the cumsa ball next week. unfortunately, i was so picky that i ended up only getting a top for everyday wear. she, on the other hand, got a few bargains =)

after sending jyymei off the the train station, i rushed to sains and back to magd to cook for the astar pple. it was a gathering that i organised in the name of chinese new year. it was good to catch up with manu, and start having ideas about more random things nicole and i could do.

so it was a good weekend. i thank the Lord for placing wonderful people in my life to share the little joys of life =)
