these 2, or rather, 3 days had been a blast.. i'm now suffering from a hangover from all the company, laughs, fun, conversation, catching up, hype and activity.. you wake up, missing everyone and wishing you could turn back time to when it all began..
class outing on sunday was a blast.. watched half of runaway bride while feasting myself on all the peanuts, and thanks to that, i've got a real terrible sorethroat (and to make it worse, i ate all the junk chips yest too! ;( ) i mean, the class is united, yet split.. there are inevitably those small cliques.. but i guess it's best for people to feel that they belong in some group in class, and then the groups stick together, knowing that they all have a position in class.. and tada, there's the class spirit.. 18 ppl turned up, out of 26.. so it's really great.. most of the time, bena and i were as-ing in the computer room, chatting idly about lotsa stuff.. i guess i still feel the most comfortable in small company.. in large groups, i tend to feel lost, dunno where to belong.. yep.. i'm just not that social, not a conversation popper.. in the company of a small group of good friends, you know what to talk about, silences are not awkward, you talk about stuff that are more personal because you feel more comfortable to share.. things are not so boringly superficial.. not that i'm saying class outing was superficial! it was great! the food, the conversations.. haha..celebrated the birthdays of the april babies.. it was great to see everyone again :)
og outing was really superb.. the regulars were down.. daniel, qiantai, edward, cheryl, shuwan, yiuming,lindy, me (with the absence of junming, edwin and leslie).. some played tennis while the rest played mahjong.. it's just great to bask in the sun with your friends, playing something you enjoy.. after that we watched a bit of fifty first dates while the mahjong ppl finished their rounds, followed by 4 pizzas from canadian pizza.. and lotsa hilarious chit-chat.. trading card machines for homosexuals, shuwan's crush chris (i vividly remember how excited shuwan got when she described how he wanted her signature!!! haha!), how to get opportunities to talk to guys u crush (all the coffee pouring tactics accompanied by animated illustration from edward :) and then we celebrated cheryl's and daniel's bday~ heh.. i hope they both love their presents! esp daniel! haha! he got 2 jock straps and a reddish brown checkered boxers, wrapped in layers and layers of newspapers.. and then the peach tart i baked with the inextinguishable candles that made the room so very smoky.. i relished every single moment of OG outing.. it's amazing that an OG can last so long.. the most important thing is that everyone there wants to remain together.. i love my OG.. love them to bits.. thanks daniel for sending me home, and for that really great sharing session we had.. it's a pity time was limiting.. thanks qiantai for lending me the fifty first dates vcd..
all in all, i love my class, and i love my OG.. now its back to idling.. wishing rulang will call me, but i somehow know they won't.. haha..
