A Feeble Attempt
I'm so glad David and Kenny have been such great help. Was able to complete everything by late evening and met KB for dinner. Had wanted to treat him to stingray but we settled for satay and wings instead.
There was a fireworks program and we wanted to watch it. But the bobbies spoilt it, patrolling the entire highway and chasing every car to move off. One of 'em threatened to call a tow truck and the two of us obediently drove away. There was a massive jam, cars moving bumper to bumper, with the bobbies littered everywhere. We went our separate ways and I headed to Raffles Place.
What a feeble attempt.
At Raffles Place, I couldn't find a parking lot and that's when the Italian team decided to display their fireworks. Std Chart building was blocking my view and I could only listen to the thunderous noise.
And when I finally found a lot, the fireworks ended.
What a feeble attempt.
Was feeling really thirsty but the Q at BK was super long. Walked to the nearest patrol station but it was filled with people. Ended up not buying a drink.
What a feeble attempt.
At 10, Gerrie finally knocked off from work and we had some dessert from Ah Chew. Slightly expensive but it was really good. Somehow,I still prefer the one at Raffles Place though.
Met up with schoolmates at Can Cafe. Finally had a chance to introduce her to 'em. This time round, there's even new members. Had a total headcount of 10, with 6 cars. The night ended with 2 suppers: at the railway station and NUS.
There's pretty much catching up and endless talks of who's married, who's doing what. It never fails to amuse me that we talk the same ol' thing everytime we meet but yet we love the gossip.
But tonight's different. I realised I need Gerrie's support, especially when things haven't been going too well. The time we spent today was only 2 hours plus but I really appreciate the time spent and the little small things she does.
No matter how hard I try to spend time with her, there's always only this amount of time. But I'm lovin' every second of it.
Wish I can have a second helping though.
A feeble attempt.
