4 Jun (Monday)
It was a trip to skin centre early in the morning before 8am for my f/up appt. Asked mum along as she wanna check out something with the doc. No extra medication this time… Since it was still early, mum asked to pay our respects to my late auntie at a nearby temple. After that we went for breakfast at Hans. Treated mum to chicken chop and grill dory fish (Yes, these are for breakfast?!!) haha… cos she had never eaten chicken chop b4! Apparently she’s not too fascinated so… guess I’ll stick to Thai food next time. =(
Went on to pray at Kuanyin Temple and mum bought lotsa stuff at a nearby wholesale marketplace. Due to the xtra load, we have to cancel our shopping plans. Mum decided to go home with her barangs while I continue on my journey.
Went shopping at nearby OG and something interesting happened. As I passed thru the door, the sensors started sounding… AGAIN!!! (It had been sounding since morning) I was stopped by the security officer who said I might be carrying something with the safety tag unremoved and asked if he can help to find out the reason. I was a bit skeptical at 1st though I started taking out my wallet, hp and stuff and place them near the door to find out the "culprit". It turned out to be a diary which I brought along! For some reason, this gift from a fren had a security tag hidden in 1 of it’s compartments! Diao! I’m really grateful to the security officer, if not for him, I might be mistaken for a thief somewhere!!!
Decided to buy some korean foodstuff @ Shine Supermart before walking to the photo developing shop at Bras Basah. Went on to Raffles City @ Cityhall and met an ex-colleague YF along the way! Wat a surprise! =) After shopping for a while @ Robinsons, my poor feet gave way so I went home for a short 1 hr rest before meeting TB, my long time no see junior from GY for dinner at 6.30pm. He was back for hols and told me that he was act tempted to fly from canada to NY for the NY Foodfest! It’s amazing how people do miss local food and all the cheap hawker fare became delicacies when they go overseas.
Rab, HL and HX also joined us! In fact, it was a pleasant surprise to see HX cos I din see her for a long long time after graduation! I act met 3 long-time-no-see colleague/frens in 1 day!!! Anyway I started talking abt my wk experiences which included visits to the mortuary. That triggered the topic of "the other world" which HX had alot of stories to share!!! I nearly fainted… In the past I wld have excuse myself but I guessed it’s not very nice to do that in the midst of dinner… The fact that I happened to pay my respects to my aunt that very day made me more paranoid! On my way home, I was practically hugging my wallet (with 3 护身符 inside). Once I reached home, I asked for pomelo leaves to cleanse myself, of cos without telling mum the whole story (hmm…)!!! opps… I guessed it will take days for me to be myself again… aighs…

Planned to nua at home but ended up meeting Ｎ, a prev part-timer from MCR for dinner (also a sometime-no-see fren =). He had wanted to see photos of my new hairstyle which I promised him more than a week ago! So now he can see the short-haired me in person. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! =) Seems like I do look younger with straight short hair which is good! Tired of looking mature with maggi-mee hair… Permed hair dun seem to suit me that well after all… But N said I looked better with long hair… hmm…
Anyway, it’s strange how people’s footpaths cross at the most unexpected time and venue. 世上总有聚散离合。不过，在偶然的时候，在一个意想不到的场合，大家还是会相逢的。这一点让我有点儿感动。
