Whimsical Dialogue

Just between you and me…

Zi Jian’s Housewarming August 20, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — lifangyi @ 1:26 am

Housewarming at Zi Jian’s new penthouse, he just shifts around the area once in awhile. This must be the fourth time he has shifted since we knew him and all the places were around the Hillview area. Cannot understand why we always have potluck when everyone clearly cannot cook. We have the familiar fried beehoon from weiwen and the rest will be bought last- minute. I do that all the time, drop by BTFC, grab some vaguely edible substance and appear for potlucks shame- faced. Though this time, we had CCR’s rise to culinary brilliance with chilli crab and cheesecake. Why is it that the guys are much better at cooking these days?

I like the house, especially the high ceiling and the spacious rooftop for chatting through the night.

Edward Monkton Moments August 17, 2008

R&T is a place of great fun and extreme funniness. Now, we each have an Edward Monkton pinned on our tables, even the Boss.

Laura, who looked terribly reluctant to put up her Shapes of Love, we wonder why.

Linda’s 21st August 17, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — lifangyi @ 3:19 pm

Seeing classmates after almost 5 years later leaves me a little confused. Some are familiar faces but with strange manners, almost as if they were different people altogether. Some look unfamiliar and yet they made me feel exactly the same. In any case, it was a very hilarious night and Happy 21st Birthday Linda! I still love the cake alot. It looks too cute to be eaten.

Breath of Warmth August 15, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — lifangyi @ 4:38 pm

Objectively thinking, lunch with Winston’s mother sounded really odd. And yet, the date at Lawry’s was heartwarming and  joyful. In any case, I always thought the food at Lawry’s is over- priced but the high-ceiling and excellent service more than make up for that. 

After Winnie and I broke- up, I had loathed to imagine that my connection with W’s mum will just fade away, as with people who are only linked tenuously. Why in the world would anyone want to keep contact with your son’s ex- gf? But, I would like to think that this is different, that my relationship with Aunty went beyond the shadows of my romance with Winston and it might really be so.

At the beginning, which means after we progressed from sneaking into the house dead in the night to going over in the day, I went over so often, for dinners, to study, to just hang out and do nothing for the weekend, for birthdays and celebrations, to sleepover and shamelessly enjoy good breakfast every morning before dashing out to school.  Aunty has always been caring and motherly. In W’s home, I get toothbrushes replaced mysteriously, maternal fretting over whether I need my own towel, own blanket, more drinks, more food, more sleep, new books to read… She dotes on me like family and especially like a daughter, we enjoyed long chats; we shared similar views of many things; we appreciated good food; when W got his CYC shirt tailored, she tailored one for me as well; And she always cooks my favourite food when I have dinner. There were times when I joked with Winston and told him that I would be better off dating his mother. There is this amazing fondness and affection, for which I am thankful for.

To name the best thing that lasted in this entertaining relationship, I would say it is the friend I had made in Aunty, I will always remember how she had comforted and hugged me so many times, as I cried over the relationship, cursed about it, laughed over it and even till now, she dispenses advice, support and honesty in comforting doses. I really do love her alot…

Generations of Councilors August 4, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — lifangyi @ 10:37 pm

On Saturday, we attended ‘Probably’ (sounds weird), the mega council gathering which saw councilors from the 1st to 35th batch. It was traumatising to see balding Ah Peks and Aunties and know, that we all have a common experience and a shared history. To know that songs written by students 20 years ago were still sung today with so much fervor and love and especially, that the students of yesteryears have also became the doctors and CEOs of the present. It was fascinating to imagine how it would be for us to come back another 30 years later, can we still dance the mass dances, will Aloy still be my dance partner or will everyone be split across the world?

But I still want to complain about that Aloysius Tan who left me partner- less once again. But I had Tze Phern, who had to dance bombastically because he was imitating that bombastic girl was dancing. It was damn funny and sent Huishan and Gina into peals of laughter!

I love mass dances. I love the songs, I love standing beside fellow councilors and feeling so proud when we came together and we meant what we sung. Every batch of councilor would leave their mark on the school culture, and I love Hwa Chong to be so proud of that. Only councilors can understand what it meant to be so deeply engrossed in Hwa Chong and each other.

The school hall was completely transformed from a stinky and musty place to a ballroom fit for dining that night.

I haven’t seen so many people in ages, like Lala and even Rudy Lee.

Aye! And we are the 31st!

Law Quiz Night August 4, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — lifangyi @ 2:19 am

It happened at Penny Black and I need to get over the fact that we lost to SMU, we were 6th and they were 2nd. But it was all in the name of good fun and hilarious moments. I swear that it was just an excuse to drink beer. Nevertheless, I remained useless and alcohol- less amidst the frenzy of beer jugs passing before me. I can’t say the same for Grace, who was sent as our beer- warrior. And she was so cool! Haha.

Girls’ Night Out August 4, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — lifangyi @ 1:52 am

It was the night when we coined the difference between cheap and slutty; decided that guys were assholes; journeyed to pursue pretty and yummy desserts and along the way, I got abit high…

It has nothing to do with alcohol but everything to do with my low tolerance. Actually, I hate the feeling of nausea that comes after the very fun feeling of being high… I get the clammy hands, cold sweat and pukish but I don’t puke.

Tapas Tree was fantastic as usual, the tapas were orgasmic but the desserts were awful.

Much love to Rach, Caits and Debbie for the dazzling night out!

 

Ah Yu’s place July 30, 2008

Almost. We almost got everyone except Sarah. Many thanks to Aunty for cooking, I believe I shall convince her that I should be at her house whenever she is in Singapore. And Liyu showed her once in a long while feminine side and baked JY a fabulous birthday cake. Then we have JY who whispered, ‘huh…who’s birthday?’
