It’s so coincidental my 2 long lost friends started contacting me again recently. One was someone whom I know in Teleview (chat program that is no longer in existence). We were friends back then and we also meet up with a lot of other chat mates whom we got to know in the program. Oh mine, I recently receives his msg through friendster and was so surprised. Think we havent contacted for almost 7 – 10 years.

Then yesterday, one of my secondary mate called me as well. We were quite close pals back then… but after our secondary school days, we lost contact. Was surprise to receive his call yesterday to catch up, but as I was tied up, I didnt speak to him for long.

Hmm… It’s really funny how people can keep in contact, lost touch and the cycle just repeats from there. Gee. But very glad that I ‘got’ my 2 friends back again.

My hubby’s friend just invited us to his housewarming yesterday. It’s a 3-room flat right beside Braddell train station, on 18th floor. Well, it’s a really convenient place but I am one who would go for a bigger house. For this house, it’s really small at 60+ sqm though it makes cleaning and tidying really easy. The whole place was done up similiar to a zen concept (pros: look neat, cons: make the small house look even smaller).

Btw, this couple are extreme drinkers. The wife is actually a Korean and she is used to fermenting different flavours of wine with sake brought from Korean. So there we were (excluding me who is allergic to alcohol), drinking all sorts of beers, sake and wine yesterday. It was really a cosy gathering among just 6 people. Come to think of it, I should be arranging something during xmas this year.

My hubby was just showing me the presents that his students have given to him for Teachers’ Day. It’s really an exciting moment to unwrap each gift, though you know it will not be something big or expensive. I felt like I was back in my childhood day when you get to receive many gifts from your friends during your birthday.

As usual, the children nowadays are still getting decorative stuff like dophine penholder, crystal-like balls, bottle with folded stars, bears etc. What caught my attention was actually a photo frame made by one of the students using ice-cream sticks. Not that it’s extremely nice, but I thought it was really thoughtful of this student to make something like this. It comes with also a support at the back so that you can put it standing on a desk. In the middle of the frame is a small blue tag for you to stick your photo on it. I actually want to take a photo of it but this student has got it nicely wrap in a translucent wrapper and I dont wish to spoil the wrapping for the sake of photo-taking.

Oh another cool gift is a tupperware water-bottle. Ai yo, as you know, people of our age like practical stuff. The bottle has already been washed and is sitting in my kitchen now.

Come to think of it, why cant lecturers in our School celebrate teachers’ day as well? I mean our students are still students, I would think that it would be sweet if they could show their appreciation in one form or another on this special day. Hmm, maybe should plan something next year.

Havent been watching any movies for a long long time (prob a year’s time?). As I happened to have reward points expiring for my credit card, I redeemed 2 movie tickets somewhere in Jul 06 (of 3 months validity).

So under the strong recommendation of my colleague/s and with the expiry nearing, I went to watch The Devil Wears Prada today with my hubby. Well, it’s a fast pace and humerous show and it really set you thinking – are you working so hard for what appears to be important to you and you end up ‘losing’ your true self? Do pop by to watch this show if you havent catch it.

*Yawn* Just finished tying partial class lists, shoulder aching and eyes closing.

Anyway, my door has been fixed up today! Pretty pretty, yeah!
