Today I had a hugely successful gathering with my 3 months JJC OG (Orientation Group) after months of trying... The attendance had been the best since I enlist, total of 7 participants:
1. Ngiap Hui aka Huige (our OG Leader, now waiting to enter NIE),
2. Josiah (开心果 of the group, now lost weight and going 2nd year Accountancy at NTU),
3. Ronnie (NSF Clerk, tuition teacher, getting married at the end of the year),
4. Minli ("mother" of our group, 3rd year Psychology undergrad at NUS, tuition teacher),
5. Joanna (a always cheerful girl, 3rd year SP Media Communication student)
6. Li Li (the ever "speechless" girl, 3rd year Arts and Social Science undergrad at NUS),
7. and of course Me (the organizer)
12noon, the proposed time to meet at Heeren Shops for lunch. But, (as expected), everyone message me that they will be late. Don't misunderstand, it's perfectly ok with me, because I am always late also... the best part I like about my OG friends is that they are so accomodating and 客气, unlike my other groups of friends. We can be known as misters and misses "anything". And also we enjoy each other's company a lot... Around 12.30pm, Josiah, Ronnie, Minli and me reached and went up to Billy Bombers 1st. Huige and Joanna came shortly. The food was quite cheap and nice and served in large quantities. I paid only $18.90++ for a set lunch. But the service is damm bad, I waited 40 mins for my main course I think. Nevertheless, we had a great conversation and laughter there. Update each other about our life recently and also joke about the reation we got when we heard that Ronnie is getting married.
By the time we finish lunch (actually left a lot), it's already 10 mins to 2pm. Then we rush down to Partyworld Orchard for KTV. Everyone there is well-versed in 1 kind of songs, Huige in Chinese songs, Ronnie in Cantonese Songs, Josiah in English Songs and Minli in high pitch songs. Joanna left us at 3pm plus and Li Li came at 4pm sharp, too bad they didn't meet each other... the KTV session ended at 6pm...
we then went over to TCC cafe at cineleisure for coffee and more talking... there are endless topic we can talk about... we talked until 7.30pm where li li and minli left us and the rest of us head down to Safra Mount Faber... Guess what we do...
we played mahjong!!! it's been months since my last mahjong session, my hands are getting itchy... the charges for the room is $5.25 per hour, we played 4 hours from 8pm to 12mn... it's a room with 3 mahjong tables, fully air-conditoned of course, mahjong set provided. it's my 1st time there, also the 1st time i played 两毛, 四毛... I was reluctant at 1st, but i gave in... surprisingly, i didn't lose much... after which, we went to the nearby pasar to have supper... we had some "Men's Talk" there, about BGR etc. Josiah began to ask this question, "Why our bond is still there after 5 years?", i agree with josiah a lot, it's because we are very accomodating towards each other and all of us cherish friendships a lot... me and huige left there at 1am plus in a cab... tomolo have to wake up early to go bintan... yawn...
