Mmm.. been kitteny goodness these couple of days. Yesterday was Vesak Day, so I had to wake up earlyish to go to the temple and all. Dragged myself out of bed at about 9.30, while brother remained snoozing in bed. After a shower and change, he was still sleeping. Sigh. He ate my hashbrown too. Grrr.

So we went to the temple to pray (ours is in Bedok) to find that it was crowded as usual, and inhaled quite the bit of incense before we left shortly thereafter. The parents dropped me and my brother off at Tanah Merah MRT to go down to town, while they picked up Ah Kong and Ah Por at their place. Me and Bro reached Goodwood Park a good 15 minutes before they did, and it was already 1230. Sigh. Lunch only started at about 1, when the cousins finally arrived.

J-ren (he's the one whom most of you met at my birthday party) is the best one, he's cute in a mischeivous kind of way. Watches a bit too much TV though, he speaks with a redneck accent now. For some odd reason. U-wen is the terror. He's already 10 and he hasn't learned an ounce of social grace. The peking duck for example... grargh. He'd never tried it before, so the waitress gave him a piece of the skin to try. He liked it so much he took another 3 pieces without the wrapping or extras, and just took and took as if he'd cooked it. I think a couple of people at the table went without because he'd taken the skin. Inconsiderate. It went like that for about another hour of so.

Anyway, left at about 2 heaving a huge sigh of relief. Mum dropped Dad and Bro off at Sim Lim Square, and then we drove over to Tiong Bahru where I was supposed to meet kitten and buy food for the everyone else at Sentosa. Met up with her at about 3.10, and then bought some snacks (must remember kitten loves Campfire Marshmallows) and got on the bus soon after. Eventually got there at about 4, we took the monorail and shared it with some strangers. Reached the Palawan stop at about 4.30, walked in one direction for about 10 minutes before we realised we were going the wrong way, and then promptly did an about turn and walked towards Siloso (turns out we were at the wrong beach). Sadly, by the time we got there it was already 5 so we couldn't tan (sun was more of a sweating sun than a burning one) so we just waded around in the water for a while.

Eventually it was just me and kitten in there so we just floated about, getting knocked about by the waves and stuff. Hee. Fun. We got out, all pruny and everything somewhere around 6ish, and then went to go change. Man the queue was horrendously long. I think I got out of there at like 7 or so. Walked with Heinz to the showers, then walked back to the 'campsite' since the rest of the guys were going to shower. And they needed someone to watch over their stuff, so yeah. I waited for them for about 45 minutes, and in the meantime stoned on a stone and thought of her. Then we all left at about 8.30 to go eat dinner. We walked all the way from the visitor departure centre to the world trade centre to discover the shops were closed (it already was reaching 9ish) so we took a bus down to town, Lucky plaza and had Macs for dinner. Yum. Or something. Then took a cab home together with Nat, dropped her off, and then reached home tired but satisfied.

16th May

Woke up this morning to a message from kitten. Got up, lazed around a bit, then played PS2 all the way till 4. Then I changed and left the house to meet Maddy, Serene, Bao, Eddie, Mitzi, Jim and later on Siwei to go have coffee, sit around, talk crap and just hang out. Heh. I think the people at Coffee Bean (Centum Sa) must have been wondering what they put in our coffee to make us act so weird. From Jim the Fernleaf Avenger, to Jim the Cheese Man. To talking about disgusting secondary school teachers. To really bad hot chocolate. It's like 2 weeks never passed, and I've never seen this group so happy. We were laughing and talking and just basically overflowing with life! It was wonderful. =)

After that, we were left with Serene, Siwei, Bao, kitten and me. We went (actually it was just me and kitten who ate, the rest watched) for dinner at the Century Square foodcourt, and talked and chatted a little more. After that, it was about 8.45 so I went to send kitten home. When we got down, we saw a cat who meowed quite a lot (and really noisily too). We walked to the provision (mamak!) shop nearby, since kitten wanted to get some sweets, and we bought a can of cat food for the hungry kitty. We watched it eat for a while before I went upstairs to her place, since I needed to wash my hands and use the toilet.

Her parents happened to be home too, so I meekly introduced myself to her mum and dad (they're really nice people), took a look at where my kitten slept every night (messy room!), looked around the house, saw her bro's studio (sigh) then she walked me to the MRT nearby. Along the way we saw this beautiful kitty, had wonderful brown, black and white patches on its body. Spent some time playing with it, then continued to the MRT. I missed the train, so enraptured was I by her presence. =P

Eventually got back at about 11.30. And here I am.
