received a surprise phone call from a friend far far away in the middle of a super-hot afternoon.. *hi there! wave* since there are so many people tying the knot this year so I suspected he was going to tell me the good news.. =) anyway, thanks for the call, you've made my day! :)

went for 'reunion' dinner at rice table, suntec. I always think that eating there is a waste, mainly because I can only eat so little despite the various number of dishes, it is a buffet meal, and it is not worth the price. anyway, that's not the point. we were there to meet a friend who is visiting singapore on his trip home. he is thinner now compared to last time in university days, and we teased him, saying that it must be due to his own home-cooked meals.. haha.. too bad there is no time for him to prove his culinary skills by whipping us some sample dishes.. =)

it's funny how all of us here only meet once in a blue moon, and the most common occasion is a friend's visit. that happens for both my high school and university circle of friends. guess it's because we take the opportunities for granted.. thinking that we can still meet each other every other day. luckily singapore is a common place for transit, so the gathering is more frequent.
