The weekend past
Cynthia, a friend of mine, invited me to crash the birthday chalet of her friend, Ariel, a.k.a. YY last weekend.
Since I had no other plans made, I thought, "Why not?" And I never regretted heading down to the chalet on Friday and Saturday, and staying overnight on both days. Made a few new friends and acquaintances there, and once again, I realised how small Singapore actually is. Everyone is connected in one way or another.
Anyway, I didn't bring my camera, so pictures will only come after Ariel uploads them (and provided she allows me to use some of them for my blog). Fingers crossed!
The party was a blast! I enjoyed myself thoroughly, even though I practically knew close to nobody there.
The most memorable highlights were the humongous cake and 21 cupcakes that Cynthia and Hongrui, her boyfriend, got for the birthday girl and the cake cutting session where the birthday girl got her "key to freedom". There was also a "guestboard", which was a black plastic art board for attendees to pen their well wishes. Another dedication board of sorts came in the form of the mirror and walls in the bathroom.
Since Ariel is still sort of nursing a heartbreak, I left her a quote that I got from a seminar I attended about a year ago on the bathroom's wall. I've previously shared it before I "restarted" my blog, and I'll share it again right now.

I guess it's self explanatory enough? I'm glad that Ariel and Cynthia found it meaningful. Hopefully, the "Little Mermaid" recovers and stays cheerful ASAP. =)
On a separate note, I'm now nursing quite a nasty cold with a very "runny" nose. Cause of this predicament? I'll put it down to a medley of all of the following factors:
- getting drenched in a very heavy downpour while buying charcoal for the barbecue last night, despite having an umbrella,
- inadequate rest for the whole weekend, (I slept far too little and got no quality rest at all), and
- sleeping in a pretty cold room without a blanket, followed by very strong air-conditioning for the past 6 hours or so seated in one of my favourite hangout joints.
One can hope and pray, can't he? Heh.
