Day 2 of My CNY...
With just 3 hours of sleep, it is not easy to survive the day with a refreshing mood. I went to the Sembawang temple in the morning with my swimming instructor, his wife and my sister. We did some praying and it is my first experience praying in that temple, even though my Secondary school was just nearby. I guess I need some time to familiarize the different parts of Sembawang, probably exploring the four corners of it with a bicyle one day. =]
Once all the praying was done, we went to the hydroponics farm to have a mini gathering with the “Goh” family. I mean, my coach’s surname is “Goh” so it’s his family’s gathering. Why am I being involved? I don’t know but all I can say is that, I was just accompanying my sister since the holidays are so bored.
Marcus, Kenrick and Jeremy were there, as well as the other kids; Christine, Chang Rong, Zhi Jie, Dawn and many more. However, I was too shy to interact with them at first but slowly, things start to build up and conversations started. Anyway, I kept sticking with Kenick and Marcus as we are the ones who could click with each other, whether it’s our interest or our perspective towards things. We are swimming mates during our training, which makes me feel that we won’t have any lost of topics while we chat.
The rest started to gamble soon after but I didn’t join in. I don’t like to gamble as I’m bad with such things. I am always a loser when its time for gamble, and I will lose quite a few dollars when playing. Hence, I told myself that I will fulfill the 3 things that I shall not do in life, maybe for now.
1) No smoking
2) No Flirting
3) No GamblingAlright, these rules are strict but the main 2 issues are smoking and flirting. I don’t flirt but have the intention to meet new friends so don’t get the wrong idea about me. As for smoking, it will never gonna happen at all, and I assure that! =] While some of us got tired with gambling, we went for a drink (some weird fruit juice) and had a nice chat for nearly an hour, about our own stories and funny incidents we had in school. It was fun talking to Marcus and Kenrick, just as if we are good buddies.
The fun ends and I head to Jeremy’s house for visiting. I was supposed to be there at 1.30pm but reached there at 6pm. I had some games of Winning Eleven and some food before I left. It was still enjoyable overall though I have to entertain myself for the entire period. Anyway, Jeremy, it was fun, so thanks for the treat. Nice food by the way, with a good curry and Indian rice, the catering you had is excellent. =]
Alright, work is tomorrow and its time to sleep now. Hope tomorrow is a nice weather to work. Not too humid or cold, just perfect… =P
