Hot.

There are some points in time when I wonder why they don’t put the whole of Singapore under one huge gigantic bowl with aircon in it. I just can’t re-adjust back to the heat of this place!

Anyway yesterday’s dinner with the Diablo people was a great one, and as I said yesterday, it’s quite amazing to see how things have changed for the whole lot of us. And I think it’s also quite amazing to see how the lot of us are still so good friends after these 5 years. Spurred by some sort of nostalgia, I decided to search around to see if I have any photos of us when we first got to know one another 5 years ago, and this is what I found – apparently taken at our freshmen orientation camp:

And then 5 years down the road, this is how we look like now:

How times have flown by. Haha.

Day 2 in Singapore.

Day 2 in Singapore and I already am looking forward to returning to Hong Kong. It’s not as if Singapore is bad or my friends have all forgotten about me, but it’s just too hot!

I met Neng Giin in the afternoon for lunch and with him being one of my best mates, we had a very good chat and I thoroughly enjoyed the company. Then Cheryl came and joined us, and it was nice to have her around too. At least it didn’t look so weird with just the 2 of us guys!

Then I moved over to Clarke Quay to meet my Diablo friends – in case you didn’t know Diablo are my orientation friends back in 2002 – and it was nice to see them. Roland and Juana are married already, so we had a great time calling them Mr and Mrs Tan! It’s quite amazing to think that 5 years ago when we were in university, we were talking about things like which modules to take, whether to go for Honours, etc, and 5 years down the road we are talking about getting married and having kids. How times have changed and how we have grown.

Getting tired now, and I probably would want to go and get some sleep before heading out tomorrow for another day of meeting friends. It certainly doesn’t feel like a holiday for me!
