Happy Birthday Qihui!!
Today is the most enjoyable day i had in like half a year!! I could let my hair down, not worry about Finance test and Management Science test next week..destress myself from the FA test i just had on tuesday..turned out not that bad after all..couldnt get all the wordy qns with all the reading concepts but was able to do all the calculating stuff..think i'll scrape and passs...=)
okok..back to this memorable day..i rented a car specially for today..qihui didnt want to coz she think it wasnt a need as we were only going like jurong, cineleisure, suntec and home? but i insisted coz i was kinda VERY lazy to travel to jurong..lately keep getting bus sick..didnt wanna get sick and spoil a birthday huh..
supposed to meet the guy at kembagan mrt at 10.30am..as usual, i was there at 10am..wait ah wait ah..10.40am le!! so i was kinda impatient and msged the guy where was the exchange pt and he could call back to tell me that they didnt have enuff drivers for today and he was going to pick me up and bring me to the office and get the car!! GOSH!!! what a BAD start for a birthday!! luckily, he was nice enuff to go pick Qihui and Chuay Chun up at Parkway bus stop and bring us all to his office at Racecourse Lane..the car turned out better than i expected..Fiat..sounded..erm..ugly?? lol..turned out to be a new car of only 4 months, red and nice..small..easy to drive..it was a left hand drive car so all the buttons were on the opposite side..u could even change to manual..and there was power steering!! yay..i like that!! but the guy said that power steering was not encouraged for girls..heck..i like power steering... the car engine was super powerful..press abit and the car chiongs..scary..qihui got a shock..and..i mistook the brake for the oil..and instead of braking it moved forward..the placement of the pedals were different!!
tried to get out of the area..didnt know the way really well..ended up at balestier road and had to find a place to turn around..after driving around for about 10mins the petrol was low and had to go and pump petrol..den we went back to CTE and i found the way to jurong!! yay...hehe.....
we were hoping Fuji Ice Palace was open coz their website was kinda very outdated...2004..sianz..heng it was.... =P we wanted to find a 4th person so we could get the unlimited thingy..but wow..think things were turning for the better..it was on promotion so we still got it unlimited!! COOL...the ice felt so different from rollerblading..it was very not smooth..think coz got this grp of guys there that kept cutting the ice..the blades were also very uncomfortable..my rollerblades feel so much better!! probably coz of the cushioning too..hehe..
after about 3 hours..i fell down twice..once to prevent from crashing into CC and once just standing there and fall down..got an abrasion on my elbow and blueblacks on my kneecaps..we were tired..freezing and bored..CC was hungry..and after sometime we decided to go Holland Village to have lunch..ooo..never buy parking coupons..so just went to get from some other car owner..this gal was very nice..she offered lots of coupons and she drives a beetle!! sweet..we had a quicky lunch and den qihui found out the CX could get a night out!! BUT..it was only from 6pm-10pm..wah...so short ah...and.....where is katib camp??
ok..so..decided to go back home..take road map and home keys so that i could go home later..hehe..drop qh off so that she can take medicine..ran home to take stuff and then pick qh up to go to katib camp..my conclusion: cc dunno how to use road maps..haha...
qh took some time to figure out where katib camp was..ended up making one round at marine parade there..i didnt wanna take CTE coz it was already past 5pm and CTE would jammmmmmm big time..so i decided to take ECP-PIE-TPE-SLE..seems further la..but it should be faster with no jam as it goes to the suburbs....eh..my suburbs are ulu places to me..punggol..sembawang...hahaz...
cc slept the entire journey..qh also slept alittle..wah..den i drive drive..finally...after what seems like a LONG LONG time..we reached yishun!! alamak..CX also dunno exactly which side his camp was..hmmm..*lost*
parked in some HDB carpark n found out that we turned the opposite direction..heng ah..not FAR FAR away...so we u-turned back and pick CX up..and we went to Northpoint at Yishun Central..hmm..Northpoint...looks small..we ended up watching Miami Vice..quite a nice movie..super exciting and lots of killing...ended up moving towards cc and hiding behind my jacket whereas qihui was grabbing on to CX's hand..especially the last part..eeeee..use this big gun and shoot the bad guy's head..BANG!! blood splattering on the container behind him...GROSSSSSSSSSS........
after the movie qihui insisted on eating a birthday cake like last yr..lol..same situation..running around looking for a cake shop..last year we had coffee bean@ Post Centre..this year..after going to Four Leaves, Bengawan Solo & Swensons, we decided on StarBucks..but this year..instead of a cake per person..we just had 1 cake..pity starbucks had no candles..we had a very very fast happy birthday..and fast eating of the cake and rush off to send CX back to camp..dunno if go in late what will happen.. =P
along the way back we saw a few guys running back to camp..haha..quite a funny sight..we picked up one of his frens along the way..might as well la..although break the car rental rule of max 4 pple in the car..but i dont care..hehe..
we made our way back to Parkway..wanted to meet Harj..CC suggested that i park at his house since it's free parking..how nice..although the idea of crossing the overhead bridge suck..but if can save a few cents and lose weight climbing the overhead bridge..y not??
crap crap awhile..sent harj home@ Tampines..pump petrol..sent Qihui home..and home sweet home..................
