Post CNY - Part 3


Sunday - 4th day of the lunar new year which was another busy day and things seemed got in the wrong way.

Around 12.30 noon we left home to Toa Payoh for a one-month old baby celebration. Missed the first bus and waited for nearly 15 minutes for the next bus service of 157. Near to MacRitchie Reservoir, the bus broke down. We then need to wait for another one to come by. Then I missed the bus stop we supposed to alight but realised the next bus stop was closer to Su Mei's home.

We were there almost 2 pm and our buffet lunch there. After spending about over an hour, we then took our leave for our next destination - Bukit Purmei. There is another round of visit cum birthday gathering with the die-hard 972 radio fans.

Took a 10 minutes walk to Bradell mrt station, we took the train to Somerset station and transfer to bus service 123. Finally shortly after 4 pm we were at their house. Surprise to see Violet there with her husband and little Pacific Seah.

Then started another round of sumptuous food - steamboat. Follow up then the cake cutting session. We bought the birthday uncle 2 bottles of red wine as present.

About 7.30 we left for home together with Ivy. 123 brought us to Tiong Bahru station and then transfer to Commonwealth station. We waited for 970 that will bring back home direct. On the way, I was busy talking to Yuva then nightmare happen. When the bus tooked a left turn to head River Valley, it was then I realised we took the opposite way. That bus will be heading Shenton Way - my working place. We quickly alight and went to the opposite road to wait for the bus again.

Sigh... a short trip home made the way longer. Finally about 8.45 we are back home. Then received Jane's sms that she is picking me up at 9.00. Managed to bargain for another 15 mins. I quickly took a shower and pack the necessary cos I am putting a night at her place.

Around 9.20 I am inside Raymond's car and head for AMK. That night we had 'dry swim' again and finish off into the early hours again.

Catching up with some sleep in the morning, we had the game again while waiting for the KFC ordered by Ray. Heated argument spiked off like fire during the game. But managed to break the ice during our food break.

Game ended at 7 and Ray suggested we go for marathon movies - CJ7 and Kung Fu Dunk.
We took an immediate dash to the nearest theatre - Jubilee as the movie showing at 7.40 and the next at 9.15.

Second movie ended around 11 and Ray then send both myself and Joey home.

This had been a longest break for CNY and Tues report to work at usual with a tired body and empty pocket cos I lose $50 + in the majong games.
