Visiting Dessy at NTU; the Volleyball and Cab

We met up with Dessy at NTU for lunch on Thursday. We approached the new canteen next to NIE where we started admiring the university lives. It was the experience that really attracted us. The babes, the hostel, the activities and the fun seemed to be something which we would have given a pass to, …

Busy Long Lunch Break

Tuesday’s lunch was at ABC market. I toured the entire hawker centre to find a long queued western food stall. The auntie was in a mess due to the overwhelming business and when I told her I did not know my table number, she was impatiently frustrated. I told her that I could wait there …

Two Continuous Days of Volleyball Again

After grounding myself to the chair for many days, my legs’ joints were put to challenge; I kept them folded due to the coldness in the office and somehow, they were angry with my concentration and stubbornness. On Thursday, my legs were stiff during the volleyball session. It was a last-minute confirmation of game since …

Setters Make a Great Difference

Last Friday, I finally changed my wallet. The small cutie had too much tearing that I did not want my cards to be dirtied more.

We had our dinner at IMM. Jingkun’s …

It Rained Again at Beach

Sunday’s beach was another disappointment for the rain ruined it completely for us. It was supposed to be only passing shower as claimed by the weather forecast but somehow the sky did not spare us. So coincidentally that the rain was showing love only the southern part of Singapore again, my weekend did not go …

Lousy but Charming Beach Outing

Beach on Sunday was a total waste of time until I saw an angelic smile. We were forced to leave with an approaching dark and magnanimous cloud after simply a lost game; waiting by the side of the court proved meaningless finally. We witnessed ships disappearing at the far side of the sea within minutes …

Most Enjoyable Volleyball Ever

The last day of torment for the previous week ended a memorable day. Jingkun drove us out for lunch as Mingli joined us, picking up Mingfa at Dover MRT. I went into deep sleep inside the car and woke up to find myself at Commonwealth Avenue. Chicken chop Melted iced jelly We went to a …
