the past 2 days have been really eventful! haha.. yea suddenly i'm alive again. went jogging plus ice skating plus walking yesterday. jogged a longer distance this time. and i've finally learnt the basics of ice skating! skill level no longer zero. thrilling and enjoyable. must thank my 'guide' else i would have fallen quite a few times. haha.. went to imm and queensway to shop ard and were abt to leave we met a hyperactive kid. didn't know what he wanted at first. then he showed us this card, which was obviously written by his parents, telling us not to give him money, showing the various buses that led to his house plus his name and contact number. quite smart i would think. we realised he was on the wrong side of the road so we brought him to the other side and he really ran up the escalator but sadly missed his bus by just a few seconds. got him a drink plus sweets while waiting. guess it made him really happy. stayed with him till he got on to the bus before leaving. haha.. hope he has a happy new year too! he even wiped the wet bus seats for us la! maybe we'll meet again! =P

and as if yesterday's exercise wasn't enough, there was more walking today! we had ot dinner at marina and then we decided to watch the fireworks at 2230. so we walked to some empty space and sat down but it started drizzling so we decided to walk on to find shelter. the road amazingly led to a dead end so we were forced to turn back. this time we got to another empty space with lotsa circular stones but we decided that there were too many trees so we walked some more. we waited even under the rain. 12 pple under 4 umbrellas. and then when it was 2230 we realised there were no fireworks! so we decided to wait till 2300. but still no fireworks! then someone turned ard or smth and we realised the fireworks were BEHIND us! and we had a fantastic view with lotsa trees in front of us. WOW! so we hurriedly back tracked cos we realised the view got better and we ended up back at the open space with the circular stones. by that time the fireworks was over. and then dear jianrui told us he had already seen the 2230 fireworks cos he went to get drinks. shocking news. my one and only qn was why didn't you tell us we were facing the wrong direction then. but nvm. i suppose it just happened. the 4 of us cinderellas plus ruian had to be back by midnight so we decided to give the 0000 fireworks a miss. but we took super long to get back to the mrt station cos we couldn't get cabs or buses. ended up counting down and watching fireworks behind lotsa trees cos we were still on the way to the mrt station. finally got to the station slightly past 12. so that was how i spent my last few hours of 2006. walking with my ot. hahaha.. interesting. never expected that.

so there. my last 2 days of 2006. Very interesting if you would ask me. =D

cinderella no more! we got home was past midnight. hahaa..
