it's never too late to go home.
mmm i am eating ichigo-flavoured gum that rach the wonderful gave me. it's really good! the gum has this outer covering that kind of melts in your mouth when you take your first bite, then every other bite after that makes you feel like you're drinking strawberry juice. somehow, eating it makes you feel very happy. or maybe the happiness comes from staring at the ichigo card that came with the gum. thank you so much rach!
yesterday passed without many hitches, surprisingly. murphy must still be on his new year vacation. and there were so many photo opportunities too, but i didn't take any photos because i didn't bring my camera along for dhs homecoming and i was too lazy to hop upstairs to get my camera during the potluck.
homecoming was pretty good, and i saw many many people whom i haven't seen in ages. there were eds seniors like wai lumn (is that how you spell her name?) and yvonne, and there were all the eds juniors whose names i will remember if you let me stare at them for a while more. haha i know one of them is called joleen or jo-something. and there was an anthea somewhere as well? except i don't think anthea was amongst those i saw yesterday. ahh i felt so bad when i went over to say hi to audrey who was talking to a bunch of people, and that bunch of people suddenly screamed "michelle!!" at me and i was momentarily "oh no who are these people". but then they began to look very familiar after a while more. and i saw juniors from the orientation class i took when i was in sec 3 -- 1 bombwe right haha -- like shuting, and suvichak and junming's brother both of whom i saw from a distance but couldn't say hi to.
and i also met peiqi and liying and xumei who is the most horrible
person rectum on earth LOL. i can't believe the first word we exchanged after what, 4 years of not much talking to each other had to be v*****. and i can't believe she gave me such a name either. which totally reminds me of that time when i was walking along the 4th floor walkway linking the classroom block to the main school block, and rectum was on the 1st floor and proceeded to shout really loudly "OI V*****!" arghhhhhhh. and liying and peiqi who never go for class outings, sigh. but it was good seeing them again. and audrey and xinrong and dianne and chengyi were also there, and we took a photo with xinrong too haha. and ming shuan went too! with her 4b class people like kangqi and weiting. oh, and i saw suzanna as well, who i took a moment to recognise because she had a new hairstyle from when i last saw her.
then there were all the teachers, some of whom i really miss haha. like mr siva and his sarcastic wit lol! except he seems really changed now because ever since graduation i've met him twice i think and he's never sarcastic in the least anymore. didn't manage to talk much to him yesterday because we only saw each other in the corridor where he was walking with his class to the classroom, sigh. and i can't believe he remembers me hahaha. and we saw miss yap (except i think now it's mrs fong) and she remembers me too! she says my eyes look way bigger now with contacts. and there was mrs vora as well, who never seems to be around when we actually go back, but she was there yesterday and we talked for a little while.
eeek i just blew a gum bubble and it exploded and plastered itself all over my nose. okay, i don't think anyone needed to know that.
i really should have brought a camera along. sigh.
anyway, after that i went home to prepare for the potluck later on, and yimean came over at around 4 to help with the sushi which didn't turn out too bad! haha. okay now i know it's not the knife that can't cut properly, it's all in the rolling process. i shall make more sushi one of these days since there's so much left over sushi fillings and i have more japanese rice left. amos made very good onigiri for yesterday! haha. and we had lots of chicken yesterday; there was seaweed chicken, and meatballs, and popcorn chicken, and chicken nuggets, and chicken cutlet/fillet that rach brought i think... and there was beehoon, and lots of drinks, and chin's bottle of red wine that was surprisingly pretty good.
and after we were all stuffed with food we went on to play polar bear which was ridiculously amusing. charles wins the award for being the best at polar bear LOL he swayeed everyone into believing he was innocent when he was the last polar bear remaining. and he got everyone else to kill the last detective hahaha. charles should go join drama. after that we went inside where some of us watched get smart, some of us mahjong-ed and the rest played cards. all in all it was a very fun night. plus i managed to pass almost everyone their very much delayed class birthday presents! so... i guess potluck was quite a success. thanks for coming, you guys. ^^
might be going to kl for a short trip on monday, if i can switch dates for my japanese lessons. mmm and i still can't find a job. pfft. what with japanese lessons, and my wanting to take driving lessons, i don't suppose i can find a job with such flexible shifts.
