yesterday was quite an enjoyable day for me. met up with kin foong for breakfast at our usual roti prata haunt in simpang bedok and chatted there for almost an hour and a half! lucky guy! he is gonna be studying at NYU, which is right in the heart of Manhattan! its amazing how time flies...not too long ago we were just sitting at that very same spot, bitching about how life in the army and exchanging horror stories about each other's experiences bashing through the jungle...and now, we are totally past that and opening a brand new chapter in our lives....uni!

proceeded to chill out at his place...went through each other's photos and basically updated each other on the happening's in our lives.

in the evening, i attended a concert at the nanyang academy of fine arts put up by none other than my old friend, jonathan aow. his concerts are getting grander and grander...from a simple performance in an old theatrette to a large scale one in a 1000 seater concert hall, complete with acoustics and a rotating stage for the pianists. it amazes me how he managed to memorise all these complicated scripts of music. it amuses me how people are so eager to applaud the performance they end up clapping at the wrong time, before the piece is finished. its a sign of lack of cultural appreciation. j aow's a smart chap...he's gonna be going off to stanford in a couple of months time.

we then had bean curd at rochor bean curd....the place that offers the smoothest bean curd in town that kind of just melts in your mouth. part 2 of our supper exploits was at chomp chomp in serangoon gardens, where we had the famous mutton soup and a whole piece of BBQ stingray...zhenjin's treat!

heard from zj that apparently wong shiming has made it onto the harvard debating team within a year of his existence in harvard! and he's going on some exchange programme to beijing university. oh well....that's him...always the epitome of excellence.

i've only been away from sg for about half a year but i feel so out of touch with all the latest happenings amongst the RJ circle. but its only natural i guess...i think its boring to be talking about other people sometimes...i don't understand why some of our old friends can JC can still continue to make that the staple of their conversations. just not my kind of thing. time to move on.
