A joyous party cum meet up

2001..

I was a relief teacher in Chung Cheng High (Branch), handling notorious upp sec sch kids who bombard me with endless questions abt my personal life. And there was no rules in my classes. They had all the freedom to do things they want as long as I didn't think they went overboard.

2005..

I am remembered as being once their relief teacher and a friend. This is one thing I feel really happy and proud of. Never did I expect them to remember me. Never did I expect them to look for me again after we lost contact for a while. Never did I expect myself to be invited to join their party.

My Friday would have been totally horrible if it weren't for this bday party I was invited to tonight. It was Reuben's (one of my ex-students) 20th bday. Happy bday to this boy =)

At the party, I finally met Reuben and Mervyn (another ex student who is pretty close to me).

It's shocking to see how much they have grown. They were just young, skinny and small-sized boys when I first knew them in class. But now, they are all tanned, fit and looking more like a guy. These 2 boys are going to NS very soon, and I'm sure they will do their best in there..in fact, they're pretty positive abt it at the moment which is good. Reuben's happily attached to a nice girl, Grace.

I'm happy to see this lovely couple together. And I am really impressed with how serious Reuben is about his rship and he's already aiming to marry her in about 4-5 yrs' time.

I'm so honoured to be able to try Mervyn's marinated chicken. It's super yummy..2 thumbs up for it!!!! Hmm...the result of going to SHATEC..haha.

The big moment was cake-blowing time.

(Wah liew...u see that 2 happy face.....envious or not?!?!?!? Basket! %^#%^@)
These people were damn onz. They sang bday songs in english, mandarin and cantonese SO LOUDLY. It created such a wonderful atmosphere. I never had this before..

And not forgetting, cake smashing on the bday boy. Fortunately, I was spared since I had the boys to protect me from harm. The guys were practically running around and smashing each other with cake, satay sauce, tomato ketchup and even chilli sauce. When those were used up, they started using coke, and all the leftover food. It was disgusting, but it was so fun watching them yelling, screaming and running around. I felt old even though I was only 3 yrs older. Never did I have such a crazy party before and I was really wondering why I didn't have the energy and fun like these 20 yr olds when I was their age. What was I doing then? I regret going through those days with very few memories. I don't even recall having a big celebration with my friends in a chalet, screaming and having fun.

I was very upset for a while today too. It ruined my mood the entire day until I went to Reuben's party. Here I've got Reuben & Mervyn who is sincere enough to maintain our friendship, and putting effort. And here I've got another friend whom I thought is worth keeping as a pretty good friend, but disappointed me thoroughly.

I am trying very hard to accomodate time to meet up with as many people as I can before I leave, and knowing that time is very limited, I made an effort to try to keep my promise to meet up with this person. But all I got was our date being postphoned twice. And it is pissing when nothing is ever confirmed until last minute, which resulted in me having to waste so much time just to wait for this person and having to reject those who are sincerely wanting to see me. I had enough. It just shows how much the person treasures our friendship. I shall not bother to ask this person out anymore. I do not see why I have to msg her time and time again abt our meetup, making me look like as if I am DESPERATE to have someone out with me. Don't waste my time. Since our friendship isn't worth much to you, it is not worth wasting too much of my time on you as well. I tolerated, I tried to understand and I think things are getting too far. And...don't complain about you losing your friends...you brought it upon yourself.
