a good party

it was only a week since i last attended a gathering of friends, but due to the episode of my father being hospitalized, it seemed like it was months since i attended a last gathering.

woke up pretty late in the morning, so i had to go off to the hospital, but my dad was already settling the payments and ready to leave. so we all had lunch at home, after one whole week, and everything is set to go back to normal.

i left pretty soon after, to meet denise and koustav for a short while, since my class wasnt meeting up today. they were gonna watch spider-man 2, which i had watched already, and i needed to get a present for jennifer's birthday, which was later on.

as denise and koustav left to watch the show, i unexpectedly met, or should i say, saw, a person i didnt quite expect to see here. brings me back all the memories of this particular period, where seeing her in the same bus in the morning about 4 years ago would be a frequent topic of conversation between me and hazril for days. i could say she was my first ever crush, and its funny to think that she has no idea who i am, just another one of the many strangers who were walking around in cineleisure. there were occasions where i thought she did recognise who i was, but that was almost 2 yrs back, i look pretty different now, since i put on weight on my face too, so i wasnt surprised that she didnt recognise me. afterall, its been a long time since i last saw her.

but it was euphoria to the max. i quickly messaged hazril, only to find out he was right there in cine as well. as i went up to look for him, i bumped into mike and his girlfriend, which was a neat surprise. and then i met hazril, kim and 2 more people i havent met for a while. so i went off wit hazril for a while, while i got jennifer's present, and talked for a very short while before heading off to bishan for the party.

i can say i truly enjoyed myself last night. i think it was coz the people who were present all knew eachother very well, since most were council people, and we have this bond tt we formed over the council years, i think tt contributed a lot to the fun we had, because we could talk to anyone and everyone. so obviously it was a blast of a time, since so many turned up, and we had tons of joking and talking.

as we get older, our gatherings and parties degenerate to more talking kind of fun. it was clearly evident last night, but if its gonna be like last night all the time, then its something i look forward to, coz while i was heading back, i had this very comfortable satisfaction all around me.

my time here gets better and better...
