Met up with 6 Diligence for a much anticipated gathering since October last year. 11 people turned up and sadly, Theresa and Gelina were not able to make it. But Nina turned up! (: SDE people. Haha.

The moment JY turned up, he started complaining – weather, temperature, etc. But I realized that under the new beng-ness and all the habits he picked up, he’s still the JY I knew in primary school. Quite gratifying to know that no matter how much people change, there is still a part that never changes.

Bought LY a bag for her birthday. The only things missing were a cake and a card, but there wasn’t time to make a card and I have no idea why no one thought of a cake (I just realized it too). Oh well, hope she likes the bag! (:

After dinner we went to this KTV pub at Princep St which I think is only 1 or 2 doors from the Mind Café. Drank the Chivas JY opened with his friend(s) last month on Eric’s birthday (just a coincidence). Mixed with Sprite, it was pretty normal but drank neat (is it spelt this way? I’m totally new to drinking terminologies), it’s a bit bitter and a bit too strong. Played some card games and losers drink, as usual.

JY and Eric had this side bet and the forfeit is a half a glass of Chivas neat. Eric got quite tipsy a while after that glass. Poor thing.

I guess I drank more than I should have, too. I was a little dizzy and feeling light but thinking relatively clearly although I was talking a bit louder than usual. JY made sure we could get home safely before he went in again for another bottle of the same thing. (: So I cabbed home with Ben and Lewis. Jon, YJ, Nina, Eric took the bus. Was standing in the taxi queue when I told Ben I used to hate him and apparently he did too. Lol.

But I guess we were ok with each other since that chalet gathering at Downtown East. Actually I remembered not wanting to go ‘cos he was going but I think Theresa persuaded me to go. Ben talked to me first and I was quite surprised but after much thinking, I realized I don’t know the reason why I don’t like him anymore. And it’s positively childish to not like a person just because you’ve not like that person for the longest time (and it is a long time since I knew him from P3).

I guess it was the alcohol which intoxicated my brain and caused me to tell him I used to hate him. No wonder people are known to do stupid things when imbibed. But I’m glad for a new friend. 1 more friend, 1 less enemy. (:

Here’s to 13 years of friendship with Lewis, 11 years of love/ hate friendship with Ben, 8/9 years of friendship with ZY, Nina, JY, Eric, YJ, LY, Cecilia and Jon.

Cheers to many more too. (:

P.S. JY, I did not point the finger at you this time. I’ve grown up. HAHAHAHA! But
my mother smelled smoke on my polo tee. Must be your fault.
