im back to T3 again! main mission is actually to fetch xiaoxin back from china after 4mths of overseas exchange, or rather holidaying!(she seems so carefree there, always shopping and touring ard china)
kk just took a picture witht his dunno-wat-also thingy. but its cute i must say. haha. like the sweet-potatoe tat i got as my handphone strap.
nice weather at tat time. skytrain track to T2 and T1.
caiyu pushing the disabled alvin, coupled with tons on stuffs tat we placed on the trolley. many eyes were looking at tat time! but who cares. lol. so long as we have fun. haa.
at T2 arrival hall, tats where i just came out from when i visited HK! lol. almost same belt tat i collected my luaggage too. belt 36, i was belt 37 or so.
we waited long and long and the LCD screen long ago showed tat SQ861 had already landed and tons of ppl are already collecting their luaggage at the belt alrdy and theres still no sign of xx!
we tried alot of time to spot xx but were wrong many-a-times.
finally, fangwei did the job! he spotted xx wearing a green-top.
we waved, and she waved back. hahaha. we were so high lor, i was jumping alrdy. lol.
it just feels high to see a fren coming back from a faraway place and i could still rmb 4mths ago we were still sending her off, buying her farewell gifts and stuffs.
and i hope soon, me kl, yb and zj will be doing this to bev too. when she comes back from aussie tis year-end?
btw bevv! tell us when ur leaving???
ohh ya forgot to mention tat we managed to find xx even b4 her family came! and our visit was meant to be a surprise! caiyu called xx's mum to ask for the flight details and we went there to surprise her. could see tat xx was quite shocked and of course, HAPPY! haha. it was really a happy happy happy moment, seeing family, loved ones,(xx's bf) and friends, (us) all reunioned with xx. haha.

steamboat session to celebrate xx's return!
omg its really a sumptous steamboat lor.
a total of 6 of us met up to buy the ingredients @ NTUC.
we bought lots of food.
everyone helped out abit by abit to put this steamboat to a success.
only thing is the amount and usefullness of the "help"
haha.
i really think xx and weiyang will make a gd husband/ wife when they get married.
all skilled in home-making skills, just like me. haha. nt like tat caiyu and alvin.
our pot of steamboat.
soup-base, copied wat my mum did, ikan-bilis + soyabean boiled soup. coupled with red dates and 枸杞 for tat xtra sweetness
see for urself, this is wat we ate, for seven souls, alvin, fangwei, weiboon, xiaoxin, caiyu, weiyang and me.
let me summarise,
we bought, tao pok, lots of veggies, corn, hotdogs, lots of mushrooms, fish cakes, fish balls, meatballs, prawns, pork, chicken,fish,quail eggs, fake abalones(tastes nice! everyone agreed buy it from NTUC, made in taiwan only cost ard $8? if i nv rmb wrongly.) waxed duck leg. haha.weiyang's favourite.
my most treasured few. its amazing how we can still have a steamboat meal, after like nearly 3 years since we graduated from secondary school. and nt forgetting tat we've known each other for 7 years o.o...
i guess tats wat many of my teachers told me, the older u get, meaning when u get from secondary->jc->uni. the amt of true-frens tat u get will also diminish.
my teacher even did his counting and during uni, he only had like 1-2 close frens.
and im happy tat i have so many, in my secondary sch days.
my besties in secondary sch - weiyang, xiaoxin, caiyu, liying, alvin, fangwei, mengyeow, sokleng etc..
lets continue keeping in touch coz we've comed so far!!
i very much agree with the saying, "when the silence between 2 person is not felt awkward, true-frenship is present"
