The airticket has been booked and issued. I'll be leaving on the 17th night. The landlord will be meeting me at the train station and the mentor group have made contact with tours and parties in the last week of August before school starts in September.

Wow. This is really happening. Part of me still don't think this is real.

Maybe this is how it feels like. Living your dream.

.::. Happy J4 Day! .::.

Some years ago, 4 of us came up with this 'silly' idea of a J4 day. It was a day to celebrate our friendship. We somehow decided that it should be in July, maybe because 'J' looked like the number '7'? If I'm not wrong it should be the 4th week of July!

We were known as J4 during secondary school days because all our english names started with 'J' and there were 4 of us. Not to mention that F4 was the hype then. Yea, it's extremely cheesy.

We celebrated our first J4 day in JC, at Sentosa's chalet with a BBQ and played monopoly. For many years, there weren't any celebrations. I reckon we were just caught up with overwhelming stuff to cope with during uni days. Growing up just sucks everything out of you. Finally, this year, we celebrated 10 years of friendship.

Jo booked a room at Pan Pacific Orchard, at almost half-price!




I love king-sized bed. I want one next time!

The first stop was...jacuzzi and suana.

It was quite shiok. The warm jacuzzi pool and suana. But it made us famished and it was time for us to prepare for dinner.

We went opposite for dinner at Tony Romas since we've a discount voucher..



But there was a queue!! We waited outside for like 30 minutes.

We were famished! But alas..it was worth the wait.

I loved the salad. The onion loaf was too oily and I prefer those with more crisp. The ribs were abit too hard for me though it tasted quite good. The coleslaw had celery in it and pretty much sucked. I didn't like the baked potato - it's the type of potato I disliked. The mashed potato was quite tasteless and turned hard when it was cold. The steak was too thin and lacks the fragrance which I love from steaks. The bill was about $95 after the 15% discount.

I might still go back though. I loved the salad and the ribs tasted good too. No more coleslaw!

We polished up all the food. We were really hungry!

After dinner...time for makeup and drinks.



The 4 of us...really can't drink!

I prefer Baileys with milk to Choya with green tea!

The only clubbing photo outside ButterFactory, the other photos were taken with Ju's Ixus. Honestly, I hate clubbing. I'd rather stay home and sleep or surf the net. Yes, I'd rather sleep at home on a Saturday night. All that dolling up, high heels, squeezing and waiting with high cost don't appeal to me at all. I find it a really stressful way to spend a night and I'd usually need the next day to recover.

That said, I reckon swaying with everyone with loud music is a one-of-a-kind experience. It is even somewhat fun. My favourite part is when everyone sings to their favourite hip-hop tune - better 'high' than alcohol. But...clubbing is simply not 'me'. I still rather stay home and sleep. Hahs. If not for the girls, no way am I going inside a club!

I wonder...how am I going to fit into the many parties in Sweden where parties are the norm. I feel...old. But then again, not all youngters club right? There're a million stuff I'd rather do...

Coming back to the room after the long night...



We were so high, giggling and laughing.

Jo and Ju..Chye was...erm..wasn't interested in pictures.

Dear Ju got us a really nice cake.

Happy J4 Day! After this...all of us were totally ready to wash up and snuggle under the covers.

.::. Play-time .::.

He brought me to watch a play by Wildrice production the week before. It's been some time since we went out on a date!



It's a play about the Singapore army. It was funny, touching, but has lots of vulgarities. I didn't know that it was against the law to mastabate in the army! Nor did I know that they had to chant those stuff before the water parade. I enjoyed the second half more and was really touched by the ties the guys form inside. My heart went out to those who lost their other half while in there too. It was a really fun and informative play, worth the price for an evening's entertainment.

The only thing I don't understand is...why are those officers so vulgar??! I don't see a need to keep scolding those obscene hokkien words every single sentence and putting the soldiers down. Aren't we a civilised society already?

Us. It was actually our 54th month anniversary that day. =)

Inside the theatre...

The boy. I think I'll miss him lots when I leave for Sweden.

.::. Jo's Graduation .::.

Jo's the last to graduate out of the four of us. Somehow, graduation do make you think of many stuff and it's really the start of a journey, not the end.

My stupid yoga class was full when I reached. Had to make do with some step machines and cycling. Then met Ju and Chye for lunch and to buy Jo's bouquet.

We concluded that florists earn quite abit!




And here's a picture of 4 of us.



=)



Congratulations!! =D
