The Last Supper

Had spent the weekend running around and meeting people whom I haven't got to meet for some time. First it was the Ops Meeting for Zushen's wedding. Till now, I have no idea why we had to have the meeting when his Excel Spreadsheet would have suffice, haiz... Anyway, hopped over to Fitness First Paragon to get my discount to offset my November subscription. Only to be told that they had some problems with their records and to cut the long story short, their manager had to investigate and would get in touch with me again.

Well well, my overall experience with FF staff has not been good but what to do, when they have the best facilities as compared to the other two. This happens when there is a lack of competition.

Then I went for Eugene's baby showers @ Miltonia Close. He told me that the closest station was Khatib and I walked a full 30min from the station ... Anyway, this Eugene was my primary classmate and we had not met for a full 15 years. Got to meet him again through Facebook, don't you just love technology? lol

Teleported to the Changi Airport because my friend Katayama Susumu was making a transit here. Got to know that it was his first visit to Singapore and brought him to the Merlion!!! ナンパして to take pictures with SIM Graduates taking photos at the Esplanade, and walked down to Lau Pa Sa for dinner.

Knew him for 7 years already through my tennis club. He was also from 東大 and he did Mechanical Engineering, I wonder if I can use the word 'fate' because there are so many tennis clubs in 東大 that if we had not joined the same one, this meet-up would not have happened. He's cool, there was a period when I had wanted to be like him: rich, an achiever, having a wonderful and stable relationship, a good tennis player, etc Well, you know why I called him a 8-pointer (would have been higher if he's taller and slimmer lol)

He mentioned over dinner that he's organising an OB/OG Tennis Camp early next month during their long weekend and jested about my participation. It would have been fine if I didn't delve into it because the more I think, the more I had wanted to just go: a good chance to meet those of my year at one outing, to buy a new set of suit for my Korean trip in November, etc. I looked at some pictures with the password given to me by Katayama-kun and well, the faces of some people just brought back bitter-sweet memories (emo-ing)

So, following my impulsive Taiwan (no hotel booking) and Hong Kong (with 2 weeks' notice), and an overnight queuing for my Wii (at -4℃), I will add an impulsive Japan trip in my resume. I am confident that it will be fine since I have quit alcohol (lol) and that I have settled some old issues already. Time to apply for leaves and book my tix (with my miles), only $76

Brought him to church today (he's a free-thinker, as with most Japanese) and then Bugis Street for some souvenir shopping before lunching with my Family (minus Mum and plus-one for my yandao brother). He was appreciative that I had introduced him to my church friends, but I am not sure why. Do people really hide a group of friends from another group? I don't know but I am definitely not ashamed of any of my friends and I hope no one is ashamed of being associated with me (though I can probably think of a few who might consider me as the worst thing that had happened in their lives)

Came home for the Last Supper, yes, my yandao brother is leaving for Amsterdam and then Warsaw for his exchange. Well, I know he will manage, he's turning 23 next week and I left for Japan before I turned 21. He will only be gone for 4 months but looking back at the last 4 months, I can't imagine how I will change by the time he returns.
