i have been asking my mom permission to buy takeaways for two simple reasons.#1: no food in the house#2: no food in the house would mean unnecessary, unhealthy frying of food, or convenience food like addicting instant noodles that are high preservatives and would eventually kill us, if not for a meteriote that will crash earth and end our lives.#3: i take the mrt route, walking beneath the overhead tracks, and i have some 'me time'which is nice. me time, that is. so calm, soothing (with wind) and silence, only hearing my feet scraping along the gravel. i people-watch too. i look at birds pooping and mating (what? i hear them cooing contentedly. ew) i look at trees, the greenery, the sky and my mind always wanders.i listen to a happy song and so i smile, beaming at random people, and sometimes, if they're in a good mood, they smile back.so today, everyday actually, i recall the happy moments i spent with my friends- secondary school, primary school, church, competitions. my family too. god i miss family reunions. i miss the delicious food.kind of kills me to leave my friends behind when i move on to another phase in my life. and also kills me that trips back to philippines would stop once i settle in Toronto. or Alberta. or whatever freezing part of canada i'd be staying.anyway, putting aside the long introduction, i decided to list down a happy moment with the important people in my life.lynette- in primary six, ms norhuda, our form teacher, was absent so we split class- you know, the class would divided into groups and we are allocated to the other different classes, attending lessons as per normal.lynette and i skipped split class, and instead, trashed this abandoned classroom, dumped our bags and played like mad- which included us dangling our arms down the railings and shrieking. we made wishes, played fortune telling, made up crazy stories and i was fairly sure i laughed till i cried.shahirah- i couldn't attend US robotics competition and the sec 3 resilience camp, so i kicked up a fuss, so much so my mom grounded me. because of the phone bills too *coughs suggestively* sha stuck by me when we were posted to an "enrichment course" for those who didn't attend the robotics competition, resilience camp and working attachment in macdonalds.well, enrichment my foot. we rode the newly opened singapore flyer, and ate free at pizza hut. (we also learnt how to bake a pizza because we toured the kitchen!)i didn't want to go home so early so for the next 3 days, i sort of "camped at her house". hung around a bit and bonded with her sis too! i felt so happy, i forgot i was grounded.grace- the week before O's, i went to her house to study. we were quiet, doing our own stuff for 2 hours, when she announced she was hungry, went to the kitchen and brought 'digestives' biscuits, nutella, raspberry tarts and fruits to her room.she told me dipping the biscuits into the nutella would make an awesome snack- and she didn't lie. we ate to our hearts content, chatting about our lives, laughing, and then hushing up when we heard her parents walk by, and then laughing again. we raided her closet and she let me try out some of her clothes.not a bad study session eh? :)joseph- we went to suntec (we actually wanted to go to clarke quey and take a zillion pictures but it was raining), made a wish in the fountain of wealth, nibbled on auntie annie's cinnamon sugar pretzel and fed the fishes.it drizzled a bit but we were sitting cross-legged on the floor, hurling fish food and seeing whose throw was successful: i think the fishes like my food better because they gobbled the pieces down the instant they land on the water surface. and we just...talked. had a nice, heart-to-heart conversation.and i was shrieking with happiness when i pointed, "look!! the black fish is swimming upside down and eating at the same time!!!"joe whipped out his phone and tried to video it. haha.pei shan- we were, and still are, shopping freaks. once, school ended early so i accompanied her to her house to change, and we took a bus to my house so that i could change before launching to a crazed shoppping frenzy that would hurt our feet a lot.no one was at home at that time, and i knew my mom wouldn't like it if i brought in someone without her knowing. troublemaker that i am, i still went ahead and did it. ps sat down waiting while i rushed about, throwing on my heels and fixing my dishevelled hair.suddenly, there was the clanking of keys and the gate was clicking open.ps and i exchanged horrified glances then i ran to her, she ran to me (luckily we didn't bang to each other)ps *hisses* "what should i do? what should i do??"me "omg omg. i dunno. hide in my storeroom?? under the bed! but-"we were dancing about on the spot, flailing our arms madly. looking back, it was damn funny...in the end, my mom didn't mind much, seeing it was only pei shan (haha. she would kill me if it was a boy) and we set off to the mall. we stared at each other (my heart was still racing for the scare) and laughed at our foolishness.michelle- it was the period when michelled broke up with her first BF, and ps also did and we were all feeling so miserable, so mich decided we all go siglap KFC to eat lunch.we ordered food at the empty KFC restaurant, ate, chatted- especially how dumb guys are, and cam-whored. i was engrossed with a book, and they pestered me to take photos with them -.-one conversation i remembered was our proposal fantasy.me "i want a guy to take me up in a hot air balloon, serve me roses and champhane and as we look down the many lights down below, he'll get down on one knee and propose."michelle's fantasy was by the beach side and peishan's...was...i think a ballroom? i forgot.and the four of us, me, mich, ps and grace, made a bet who would lose should one get involved with a guy, kissing, hugging and flirting and even having a BF to start with.well, eventually ps and mich lost the bet. eh, they should have served me and grace as personal maids for a day!!i have yet to include more people, cuthbert, pincheng, zhan hao, xin yun, aishah...and many more, i'll pen down my happy moments with you guys another time!what a nice storytelling...and looking forward to bintan holiday trip tomorrow. ciao guys!
