Munchie and Manhattan

jennifer asked me how i celebrated my bday last yr.. i couldnt remember.. wif our tat grp we went manhattan's fish market to eat i think, and then i had to buy my own cake.. anyway i was trying to rmb so i looked thru my past blog entries tat mth.. and this r the fotos i came up wif, ironically was jen n matt's bday.. so long ago! everyone is back from sep now.. has anyone changed?

and then it brings me back to the present.. where yes, we all are so old already.. it is so different this sem.. no more core subjects to take modules together wif, it is like everyone wif their own grps.. their dsi intern grp, their concentration grp, no more common lectures.. last sat fyp briefing would probably be the last time the whole cohort would get together and have a lecture together.. a sense of sentimentality involved here.. for me, i haf to come to grips wif the take module alone mentality.. my SS .. i m sticking out like a sore thumb.. firstly i is yr 4, and i is engin.. i din know anyone in the class b4hand.. but somehow i guess my project members are pretty friendly.. and there is certainly a difference between arts n engin pple.. its like the class discussions are more vibrant and have a whole new dimension and scope to it.. today, this guy was talking abt the ex-CEO of HP.. and he had first hand experience there or smth..meanwhile i contributed to the class by telling them abt my sun micro work structure.. but still the sense of uneasiness is there.. i mean, imagine pple ard u introing and asking the std qns

1) wad jc u from ? wad eca? got join camp? and then u think to urself.. mmm so passe.. i is yr 4 le, then i a bit sian diao.. but still respond wif a tired wry smile.. i guess it never hurts to know more pple, but somehow i m tired to socialise already(and i say this even when 70% of the class is female n from arts) .. i dunno.. maybe it is juz a phase.. even in 3505.. 80% are yr 3s.. the only pple i know are ed e and ys and both sit wif their frens so i prefer to be loner n sit away..*ys always sit wif this gal so i cannot be light bulb heh* and the class i see abt 4 of my freshies and somehow my mind seems to go blank.. i know of wad to say but then i feel sian bringing it up..

eg 1) wow u taking this module ah? so how u doing in EE? ur OG still got meet up not? wah, nvr jio..wads the latest gossip ah?

and so, i prefer to juz dun go or sit one side.. yes the AS side of me dominates in such cases.

on a happier note, my boss brought me to little india last fri on my last day of work.. tats him on the right.. dutch married guy who is such a nice guy.. he treated me to dinner which amounted to $105 for 5 people and then he took a cab home to BB and dropped all of us who stayed in clementi off.. ji nice! and it was ten over yrs since i went to little india! the "different smells and tastes" of singapore.. i think i was damn lucky to get this internship just as i reached back spore from Finland.. thanks again to gerard tay eng meng


Just look at the amt of water i drank.. the curry spicy lah.. and the china intern and the indonesian intern too.. i din expect the bill to be so much in the end..

FYPFYPFYP!
