Always Be My Baby - Mariah Carey

You’ll always be a part of me, I’m part of you indefinitely.

A new path we’re walking together,
Yet the same journey we’ve always been on.
Now, filled with newfound faith and hope.
It’s a rainbow I now see at the end of the road.

Finally! The week is coming to an end already! The last time I blogged was on Tuesday! Five days! Haha. Anyways, I’ve been feeling so much better this week. My fever’s gone but, ironically, I still have a hell load of medicine to complete.

I finally managed to go back to work and swimming again. It just feels so great to be outside finally! I think I’ll just blog about what happened over the weekend.

Let’s see, I had swim practice on Friday. Oh, the sun was like scorching hot! I had to lather so much sun block, lest I ended up becoming a lobster at the end of the day! The water was super refreshing and I missed the chlorine so much. Wahahaha! Tell me who doesn’t love chlorine!

Anyway, you know what? I slowed down a little. My timing was way off. I was almost five seconds slower. That’s bad. I think I need to keep on training hard to bring down my timing.

So, after practice, I rushed down to work. It’s like my third week at work now. I’m almost getting used to the Num Flip Flops culture; although, I still keep on forgetting stuffs, like the names of certain flip flops and the password to the PC. The day went by rather fast because there were loads of customers. It was really a case of the frenzy. Everyone was everywhere and flip flops were flying off the gondolas. Before I knew it, we called it a day.

I met up with Anavil, Gary and Edison for dinner after work. We had Yoshinoya and evebtually, more people like Jane, Levin and Wan Hua came down. We chilled abit before we went our separate ways. Just like that, Friday was over.

I worked again on Saturday! Finally saw my every-wacky, yet, beloved duo, Wei Long and Isyandi. It’s been great getting to know them. Even though they’re sometimes a pain in the ass, working with them is always a fun experience. It’s been almost two weeks since I last saw them. NFF is never fun without them. Of course, they suan-ed me the whole day. Thanks ah!

Anyways, payday! Haha. I got my cheque and what’s so significant about it is that it’s my first ever pay cheque! (excluding those I received from my school attachments, of course!) I’m so proud of myself. Wahaha! Btw, I so want to get more pairs of Havaianas! I just realized that I used to own a pair of Black Trek Brazils, but, I think I lost them somewhere, somehow. I hope they bring them in soon!

After work, I met up with the gang and we hung out at Youth Park. I think we crapped a lot that night and I didn’t thin I laughed so much for a very long time. It’s great that we’re trying to hang out more often now. It feels more right that way. Haha. Love you guys! A few of the guys came over my house for a home movie after Youth Park, but once I reached home, I was so tired that I didn’t even watch it. I just plunked to bed to get my fourty winks.

The next day, Sunday was a huge blast! The band consisting of Jane, Levin, Derek & Edison, under the name of Subtle performed at Ben ‘N’ Jerry’s for the second time. More than half of the clique came down to support our fellow performers. I think we might as well proclaim every Sunday fortnight, the Clique Day, since that’s the only occasion we can come with a great excuse to rally all twenty of us.

I had to say, Subtle did bring the house down because everyone, including BNJ patrons really enjoyed their performance, especially the latter half. Levin’s rendition of Sunday Morning and Jane’s My Immortal were among the best songs that day, and who couldn’t forget Someday We’ll Know, my all time favourite!

After the gig ended, we went down to Café Cartel at PS for dinner. PS was like damn crowded and we almost gave up hope on getting seats at the diner, but with luck on our side, we managed to get a table for twelve!

Later at night, the girls and a few of the guys decided to adjourn down to the esplanade. Baybeats was in full action as an Indie Rock band was bringing the whole Marina Bay down. Haha. It was totally crowded. We ended up having supper at Ichiban Boshi. Haha. I tell you, our lives just revolve around food. That’s all we do, eat, eat and eat somemore!

After our satisfying meal, we walked down to the CBD and then to boat quay. We took more candid photos and chilled for a bit before we called it a day. It’s really been a long day, but I have to say, I really enjoyed myself.

Anyways, Wan Hua, welcome to the Clique! I know we’ll definitely have lots of fun with you around! Rock on girl!

AND OH YES! Can the few of you who haven’t submitted your jersey numbers to me, do it asap! I want to get them done soon so I can have our windbreakers out by the end of this month! Thank you!

To end it off,
Thanks everyone, for the great weekend I've enjoyed!
Have a great week ahead everyone!
