Advanced CNY booking, Happy Birthday Debbie!

hello guys! i'm back from shanghai. first off, a happy new year, and hope you guys have had a great New Year countdown and kick off so far. *ignores the whines of the army guys*

thanks yingheng for that birthday entry. ^^

despite the many attempts of having a class outing, i'm still going to do this, like every year so far since... J2?

i'm opening my house for a CNY 03S10A steamboat + mahjong + daidee/vcd-watching(bring yourselves) gathering during the 2nd/3rd day of CNY like before. :)

its hard to book everyone on ONE day, so i'm putting this forward in advance. you guys have a month (or less) to decide or make yourselves available! i duno when is CNY's actual date though... i shall just name it on the 2nd/3rd day gathering. you'll know when it arrives. let me know ya? ^^

P.S. it will NOT be cancelled even if 2 or 3 people come. i mean 3+1 of me, can still play mahjong.

it felt odd, you know. i thought of waking up to get dressed in the NY uniform when i heard my sister using the toilet at 6+am in the morning. i still miss school, as in school with the uniform kind.

i mean... its a new year! its usually a fresh new start. a new start to me would be meaning taking out the crisp untouched for 2 months uniform from the cupboard... and wearing it in our half-drowsy state and brushing teeth haphazardly coz you haven't gotten up so early for months. going to school and seeing those missed and familiar faces and hearing the national anthem boom in your ears while you try not to fall asleep. okay, maybe not. i'm usually there when the national anthem ends. come to think of it, i haven't heard tha national anthem for so long.

hm... NUS's term doesn't start until 9th, so i will be bumming around at home in the meantime, despite my diarrhoea and indisgestion from shanghai food overload. NUS doesn't feel like a school, and somehow i don't really look forward to going back.

i missed uniformed schooling days. i bet you do too, no matter how stressful, sucky or conforming it was.

and to the first person in the class to reach the age of 20s...

and my 6-primary-sch-years + 2-JC-years classmate...

with love (and a nice oreo cheesecake) from 03S10A...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE!!
