I just spent 2 productive days churning out tutorial after tutorial and my Professional Responsiblity assignment. The first draft of the latter is done, and frankly, usually I can't be bothered so much after the first draft. It feels as though the burden of my shoulders is lifted and I'll start to slide into celebratory mood. Hehe, hopefully, this means that my Wednesday is now free and I can go out and enjoy myself without worrying too much!!! It also means that Lindy Hop will be that much stress-free for me!

The weekend that flew by was rather memorable too. Spent it in the company of people that I care about. Surrounded by different groups of people that I don't always get to meet. Went for a Japanese buffet at Siglap called Igen. Suffice it to say that I walked in with an empty stomach and came out bursting at the seams. It was a tad sickening towards the end because I could feel the MSG clogging my throat. And yes, whatever weight lost in the 27km run has already been put back on. Later, I headed to Timbre where all I did was down glass after glass of H2O. But the place reminded me so much of that little cafe in Prague, surrounded by high yellow walls and an al fresco setting with overhanging trees. The cafe where we sought refuge because we were similarly parched.

On Sunday, I met up with my secondary school friends. It's been so long since I met up with some of them! Haha, thanks to Jessica, we got hooked on what we call "tikam". Remember those machines with the coin slots, and when you twist the handle, out comes a small egg-shaped container. As you eagerly retrieve it, you pry it open with your fingers, all the while peering through the plastic to snatch a peek of your prized find. I got a great kick out of the Nightmare Before Christmas slot machine. There's a little character keychain placed inside a tin-coffin. I got the dog. But I didn't like it, so I exchanged it with Yingjie, who got one of the skeleton characters whose name I simply cannot remember. So much so for luck of the draw huh.
