Got a call on Friday morning. It was Yiying. A SP track junior of mine. First reaction when I see the call, "What the ......". I was wondering why would she call me. So I picked up and learn that there would be a SP track bbq gathering on Sat evening. Hahaha. At first, she couldn't get me coz I didn't update her my current number, but man really appreciate her effort to ask around for my number. It has been a while since I catch up with them. So I kinda cut short my other gathering to join the bbq.

My other gathering is with my former "men" and a couple who are still in service. I have been in my workplace for a while so I have seen quite a few guys go off. There is some age gap so to become good friends after they becoming civilian, is not so easy that it seems. Haha. But nonetheless, through the outing with Andrew, Kok Yong, and Yang Zhong, is very short, but it is nice catching up with them.

I rushed over from City Hall to the bbq which is located to Bukit Batok Community Club. Despite it seems to be kinda last min, the turnout was easily more than 20. Most of my male juniors are in army now so the topic kinda circulate around army, but of coz being a track gathering, there are a lot of talks on runs, races, timing, pb, training, race strategy, etc.

I considered myself as "semi-retired" runner le. But it is nice to catch up with so many track juniors, many of whom I have not seen very often since they left SP as well. Everyone is busy with Work, Army, further study, etc etc, there is simply no occasion to bring everyone together. Even at races, not everyone would turn up. Really thanks to Derek, Yiying for organizing this bbq, hopefully there would be more to come.

Back to domestic issue. It was supposed to be tonight, but the first meeting between her husband-to-be and my father is postponed to Wed instead. There is one saying, "seeing is believing". You cannot blame my father, this is not the first time we heard such news, but it didn't materialize the last time. But I have a feeling this could be for real.

I saw this at one of my tang jie's facebook page. A friend of her made this comment.

"Happy New Year for 2010. So will you be going to your tang mei's wedding? Hug her for me,can? I will be stuck in India for first 3 mths so cant ask my guy friend to hug her so ask u to help,can? :)"

Hmmm to my very best knowledge, there is only three tang mei around. One is my sister, one is my third uncle's one which I think is 13 yr old?, the last one even lagi best, my smallest uncle's one who is 2 or 3 yr old? So basically there is only like one logical choice.

The news already spread like wild fire. It better be real. Or else haiz it just add on to the whole situation.

I spent the whole Sunday afternoon shopping. As it would be 2.5 months over there, was told to include some of the items in the shipment, since the luggage is quite limited. So basically got some basic necessities. Still got a few items to get, but should be enough le. I dunno what else I would need. But basically trying to save money by getting them here instead of using Euro dollars, which is a bomb. Haha.

Busy week ahead. It is time to start the actual preparation for shipment. Got to wake up from holiday mood le...
