歸來

I'm back!!! again...


It seems that I've been kept out of my home for the past few weeks; feels like I've come back so many times already... This time is for good, I hope... At least for another 3 more months... Oh, there seems to be a chalet during April, so I know I won't be home forever...

About this trip back to my mother's hometown, I'll be damned if I didn't go back... No one told me its my cousin's wedding!?! I am glad I went back this vacation, saw a lot of my relatives, which means lots of "ang baos"... This is the first time in my life I got so many red packets, but that's beside the point... I am really happy to see everyone, or at least most of them, all of which I haven't see for years... My cousins had grown more pretty/handsome and taller... Damn... At least no one realised how old I was until I had to remind them, those little cousins thought we were only one or two years (6 to 7 years in actual fact) apart!!! Oh well, can't say its always a nice thing...

I could recognise everyone, though not by their names, but most couldn't recognise me... I used to be fat and wore ugly spectacles; shouldn't be too much of a difference right? Anyway, after so many years, I've finally learnt how to talk to people... Had fun talking and playing with everyone, though I don't remember Cinny being so violent...


My violent cousin Cinny...

No pictures as of yet, 3 different cameras at 3 different locations... Gonna take a while to gather them on this computer...

The worse handicap is the inability to get past your mental barrier...


This weekend seems to be the most packed after so long of nothing... First up, was performing at Vivo City promoting Standard Chartered... I haven't told anyone about it since I'll be wearing a tight suit, not exactly something you want others to see you in... The good thing is our faces are painted, so it'll take a while before you can recognize me... Well, at least that's what we hope; its a good thing I haven't seen anyone I know yet...

After that we decided to go Dragonfly at the nearby St James Power Station... The place is quite nice and I totally liked their band... They play Mandarin/Cantonese/English Pop at intervals throughout the night... Drank quite alot that night and reached home at around 2am...

The next morning I was at National Stadium by 7.30am already... Woke up late and missed the supposed meeting time, had to take a cab there myself... We were there for the Singapore Marathon (sponsered by Standard Chartered as well); not to run, but to "make some noise" to cheer them on... There was a competition to find the group that can "make the most noise", or as they put it nicely "best raise the spirit of the runners"... I didn't expect anything since I'm already dead from the events the day before, it wasn't a hangover or anything, just tired... Furthermore, my hands already hurt from that 2 hours of playing...

The people just kept coming and coming, there seemed no end to them... We kept playing until 3 hours later when the rain saved us... We got second though, $1000 prize, not much for 3 hours of playing...

We had to go back to Bishan for more practice since there is a performance this coming Saturday... And another hour plus of playing, my hands were totally gone... Usually if our hands are bruised, we'll just use another part of our hand to play, but there wasn't any other part of my hand that isn't bruised...

After that was Weifen's wedding dinner, was really tired by then... I didn't drink any that night, I could already drop dead without any influence of alcohol... Nothing interesting happened though...
