Valentine's Day come and gone
So well, technically my Valentine's Day wasn't too lonely. Pre-Valentine, I went down to Holland V to celebrate my friend's birthday, just four lonely guys (his girlfriend is overseas so we made it a guy's night out). That is, until he decided to call two female acquaintances, one of whom promptly stole the show by refusing to keep quiet (I feel bad when I say this because she's really a nice person, I guess). We celebrated at sPizza, a cosy little pizza restaurant that brings back memories of the Pizza Tycoon craze back in 1996.
Anyway, went over to the roti prata place to meet Sarah and pass her the cash for my ACJC Fun-O-Rama tickets. (See you there, guys!) She was there with a bunch of our church friends who almost never invite me out *grumble grumble*. But no matter. It was fun to see them.
And then! Horror of horrors (okay, so it wasn't so much horrific rather than surprising) I get stopped by Johann Yao and family. Johann is one of the more "famous" Catholics in Singapore because he's the man to go to for event security business. Anyway, they were with someone whom I did have a thing for years ago and, as I found out later, the feeling's still mutual. We had a good night, I guess. =)
Saturday arrives and I'm in school in the morning, and I receive my first gift from a fellow Exco member of the NTUCSA. She was my "angel" last semester in our mini angel/mortal game and it was really nice to see her. Spent almost two hours travelling down to church later, and meeting the teens whom I would be spending the next 3.5 years journeying with. Teaching cathechism is HARD. Interacting with 13-year-olds is HARDER! It's not something that comes naturally to me, I guess.
I spent my Valentine's evening growing fat on cheese and macaroni. And chocolate-covered cherries. And watching Grease. And playing Sets, a pretty cool card game of quick-thinking. Nothing beats Car Wars, Nuclear Proliferation and Family Business however. Thanks to Des for opening up her place for the Youth Council's singles. =P
On Sunday, I spent 12 hours with my favourite female, Mira Toral, aka my PC from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. direcow thinks I'm addicted. Maybe I am. =)
Back to school. I'm late for my lecture already!
