Actually on Saturday, Darren, Ciro and I had arranged to go Ikea on Monday (today) cos Ciro and I wanted to look at some stuff to redo our rooms. Darren also told us that Reynold was having this chalet party at Pasir Ris and asked us to go. We agreed to go initially but I was not in a good mood cos of work, so I told Darren I won’t be going for both.

But when I woke up today, I just felt like going Ikea. But not with a lot of people so I decided to go alone. I met Darren in the afternoon at about 1 pm to get the photoshop book before I took a bus to Ikea.

Oh… Since the time I was in SA, heard from Xiu Yun and Praba that 51 from the bus stop outside my bus goes to SA. Hahas.. So, I took 51 which apparently should bring me to Ikea on its way to SA. But then it brought me to some interchange at Hougang!!! Hahas… So, just alight and take 51 again la. Then will be the correct direction right… Hahas. But the trip was damn long. I met Darren at about 1.30 and I reached Ikea at about 415. I have so much time to waste right? I know, I know… Hahas. :P Well at least now I know 51 outside my house doesn’t go to SA. (If I tried it in the past, I would have been super late for school!! Hahas.. :P)

Anyways, I went Queensway to take a walk before going over to Ikea. Was looking for some things to buy but couldn’t see anything I want. While walking around Queensway and while I was on 51, I suddenly felt like I miss SA. At Queensway, I kept thinking about the times when I would go there with Kai En and Li Wei to walk around and shop for their sports shoes… The times when Michelle would buy Sushi at the stalls there… And how bubbly Kai En was, trooping around with her backpack and her trademark elfish grin. :) The times in SA were tough, although I was only there for one year. But once a saint, always a saint. I have fond memories of my JC and even when I’m not studying there anymore, I still have my memories with me.

I thank all those who made my JC life so happy and memorable…

The guys and girls in 03A21 – although I wasn’t really close to you guys, trust me, all of you played a part in making this experience a good one. My only regret is not having spent more time to get to know you guys in the past. If I could turn back time, I will definitely interact more with you all. Friends and classmates who left a deeper impression on me will be Li Wei, Vanessa and Yvonne.

Li Wei!! Hahas… She brought me to church and although I can’t remember exactly what happened during the times I was in SA, I remember that she was very nice to me. We went for dinner during my birthday at Billy Bomber’s in 2003! I remember that!! Hahas.. Thanks girl! :)

And Vanessa, this cheerful girl who’s the "glam" girl and someone who never runs out of topic to talk about. I love her for her cheerfulness and after I left SA, she even sms-ed me to tell me when she saw Kelvin (I used to like this guy.. :P). The period right after I left school was the period when I missed SA the most. And the sms-es from Vanni sort of made me happier for a while, like, she still sort of helps keep me updated about the happenings in school. Hee.

And Yvonne… I knew her since 1st 3 months and I didn’t quite like her initially. Like, "kan bu shuang"… But in the end, we became good friends. And she had been a really good friend, very honest and straight-forward. I met her while working in Al Dente twice and though we didn’t talk a lot, I’m glad to see that she’s doing well. :)

And of course, not forgetting the bowlers! The bowlers made a great team. There may have been a slight gap between the J1s and J2s initially, but when competition comes, the bowlers unite to be a smashing team!!! You can see everyone cheering everyone on. Such team spirit was what kept me going through out the 1 year I was in JC. The bowlers made it bearable for me and they were there to help me out during my times of depression.

Special thanks to Harn, Wendy, Daphy, Canice… These seniors were there for me, hearing me pouring out my sorrows (sometimes on the phone in the dead of the night… Hahas. I think this applies more to Harn.. Hahas.) Anyway, really thanksful to have to bowlers cos they really provided me with a strong pillar of support during the time I was in JC. I also made good friends like Aaron, Philip (whom I still keep in contact with!! :D), Bene, Ben… These are all very nice and sincere people!

Haven’t been able to keep in touch with everyone but I know they are doing good. Will make an effort to meet up with all these great people again! :)

Okies, I digress. Hahas. Oh I saw this damn cool chair at Ikea.. It’s like a red plastic chair but I found it kinda funky and comfy so I wanted to buy it. I was wondering how to carry it back and then I decided to call Ciro to come and help me carry home. Hahas. Cos it’s like, one whole piece of plastic chair… Not foldable or anything. And it seemed kinda heavy when I tried to lift it (but it became so much lighter when I was moving it around my room.. Hahas. :P) and I didn’t want to look too clumsy carrying that red piece of plastic. :P

While I was hunting for the red Kimme chair at the specialty shop (later I realized that you have to get an order slip for it and then collect it at the counter~~ -_-"") and waiting for Ciro to arrive (his activation time is 2 hours~~ -_-""), this guy walked along me and started to strike a conversation.

Sucker: "Moving new house?"
Me: (Still hunting for the red piece of plastic, which of course is not located in the specialty shop. But I didn’t realize till later on.) "Huh? Er. Ya." (Right. As if I’m shifting house. Ha.)
Sucker: "Oh where you shifting to?"
Me: "Er. Punggol.” (Yeah right. I live at Paya Lebar.)
Sucker: "Oh that’s great. –then he said something which I can’t remember- What do you do?"
Me: "Er.. erm… I work in HP." (I’ve got no idea why I said this. It was the first thing which came to my mind.)
Sucker: "Oh the printers that always break down huh? Haha, just kidding. What do you work as?"
Me: "Oh.. I’m doing PR." (As if.)
Sucker: "Oh so now you are doing PR with the customers huh? –luffs to himself-" (-_-"")

After that he asked for my name and I told him “Amelia” and then I didn’t feel like entertaining him anymore cos I wanted to find my Kimme chair quick and then get out of this place. So told him I had to go upstairs to look for some stuff and he asked for my no. I gave him cos I contemplated giving him a fake no. but it won’t turn out too good if he tested and realized it doesn’t work and he may bump into me again. It didn’t occur to me to decline politely, being the idiot I was. Hahas. (Ciro later asked, why did you give him your no.? Then I realized I shouldn’t have given. I think I was too distracted hunting for my darned Kimme chair. Hahas.)

Anyway, there’s a reason why I highlighted this particular episode. Turns out this guy is a super egoistic sucker. He called me at night when Ciro was at my house (he helped me carry the chair home remember?) and then I passed the phone to Ciro to pick up. He asked for “Amelia” and Ciro said she’s busy at the moment. The sucker proceeded to ask if Ciro was my Dad, to which he replied he was my brother. Then Ciro said he will tell “Amelia” that he called, but not sure if “Amelia” will call him back.

According to Ciro, the egoistic sucker replied arrogantly, “Don’t worry, she’ll call me back again.” Ciro said he didn’t like the guy cos the way he talked was as if he was damn sure that I’ll call him. Ciro also didn’t like his attitude

Wah lau.. that sucker is neither this nor that… He’s nothing and he still talks like he’s the king. Please lor.. Take a look at yourself in the mirror. With your kind of looks and personality, it’s a wonder if any girl will want to call on you. You can wait for another 20 years and you’ll still be asking for numbers at the specialty shop at Ikea. Pui~*

He did call me a couple more times that night when I didn’t return call but I just didn’t pick up. He also called while I was posting something at the post office a few days later. I just picked up cos my hands were full and I didn’t see who was calling.. When I realized it was him, I just went “Hello? Hello? Hello?? Hello?” for about 10 times before hanging up. Hahas. He did sms but I didn’t reply. Please get the bloody msg and leave me alone.

Anyway, moral of the story is not to anyhow give your number if you don’t intend to stay in contact with the person. (Rex taught me this. K so it’s partly my fault too. I’ve learnt my lesson and I will keep this in mind. :P)

But still, when you guys call girls and their brothers pick up, please remember not to sound too full of yourself. Cos 99.9% of brothers will transmit your message PLUS your attitude to their sisters. And their sisters will condemn you like a COCKROACH and run you down!! Hahahas… :)

Hmm I’m digressing a lot in this post. Hahas. Nvm… Just entertainment for those who are bored. :P I don’t know why but I just feel like blogging..Somehow I think my blog has more content now compared to the past. Like, it’s really a big slice of what’s happening in my life. Hee.

Anyway after Ciro shifted my Kimme chair to my house, we met up with Darren and then proceeded to Grandlink to play pool and then go Geylang to eat. After that we went back to my house to slack beside the pool till morning. Ciro caught the first bus home, and Darren the first train. :) Here’s a few pics taken on the sly at Grandlink. :P Ciro is a damn good pool player by the way. Very strong~~


That's Ciro!


That's Darren! Hahas..
