Yesterday can be considered one of the best days I've had ever since I got back. Gave tuition in the morning and it was so fun (lol, I think I missed him too much) because we're starting on composition writing (: Went to the National Library - ohman damn embarrassing because I think it has been open for more than a year already (I still remember vividly Ryna and Rhubini telling us how cool and nice the place is before Olvls) so anyway, it was embarrassing because it was my first time there. Hah! Wanted to borrow "For One More Day - Mitch Albom" but it was on loan ): So I settled for a memoir by this lady who grew up during the Khmer Rouge. I've always been the kind who would imagine the story being acted out before me as I read books and when I read "When Broken Glass Floats", it was as if I really saw how the Cambodians got tortured at the Killing Fields and how life was in the villages. The disparity between being and knowing is definitely great.

Met Shijie and Teo (yes, two of my favourite people on Earth!) for late lunch/early dinner. Mr Chng wanted so much to have buffet and at 4pm, no where else serves buffet except for Sakae so we found ourselves there stuffing sushi into our mouths after a long walk and talk around Suntec. LOL!

Teo: Eh, I like that one
Chng: You like ah, okay take take
(blink of an eye, you see 5 plates of the same one on the table)

Then we walked around and started playing with remote control planes and UFOs. Damn fun! Haha, both of them looked so keen on bagging one home and Teo did. He bought the UFO! It's really cool - can fly up to 4 storey high. The plane is even cooler because it flies up to 10 storey and can navigate but it's a good 40buckeroos -_________-!!

Chng went to work and Teo walked with me to YMCA and we had quite a good talk. We are always full of regrets. Attended bible study with Alex. I slow-walked home from Compass. Felt so good to walk alone along busy roads and past quiet streets. This is a countdown to living on my own.

You're starting to have a rough idea. It's tough. I'm sorry. Chance seems to be stopping me from confronting it and I hate to leave it this way. Teo was right, me and my sucky reasons. I'm always trying to convince myself with them, thinking they are so justified but I don't realise how even more self-centred and self-righteous I'm for trying to not be self-centred and self-righteous.

To the 2 people who always make me laugh and smile, thanks for a wonderful yesterday :D
