Friday - Charity Happy Hour

Wow... was last night such a tiring day...

Morning,
Physics class that went quite all right.. except me being so tired and lazy to stay in the class for so long.. sigh...
CT lecture... it was great.. didn't do much except read about a story....
after all that, we did some more CV! stuff at the cafeteria...
did some more promo for the Charity Happy Hour that was to happen that night...

Then comes afternoon already...
Went to Ciao Mien & Hot Beans cafe to take care of the venue set-up for the event....
at first no idea how the table arrangement was going to be la! but good thing had a rough idea of the arrangements...
sigh.. so much trouble la... we were supposed to be done with the venue set-up at 5pm and then after that we were to dress up for the night...
but then.. with help coming late, the extra tables and chairs late, required items not yet there, it was so troublesome la!!
but eventually... although we passed the time limit with the venue set-up... we did a good job of the place... it was GREAT!!

Night,
after having shower at Iqbal's place, drove back to campus and to Ciao Mien...
the Starlets (Azie and her family members) were still setting up their musical instruments and equipments on the red-carpet 'stage' for the night....
I got something to eat (with RM10) and just enjoyed the music... taken care of by the Village...
soon, the Starlets began to play their live band music... and they are DEFINITELY good!!
Our special charity auction went fairly well in my view.... especially the girls that were auctioned.... heheeh!

Third highest bid... Giegel with RM35, bought by Abel...
Second highest bid... Bella with RM37, bought by Andy and his friends...
Highest bid for the night... Listiari (Liz) with RM40, bought by Lenny, her boyfriend...

the auction was quite fun... especially when you knew that some people really wants to buy a particular person....
unfortunately... we couldn't do the third set of the auction.. with Serena, Jack and Nicholas... and unfortunately also, Raymond Ting could not make it for the night.... for HIS auction....
overall.. the event was all right.. but the audience was not great.... turning the whole event to a dissappointing result of all of our HARD work to promote this....
sigh.. what happened to everyone!? sigh....

Charity Happy Hour over.... the audience are gone... leaving only the CV! members eventually at cafe...
boy... we talked for SO LONG.... Raymond got to join us there....
as time passed... people left... and then there was only me, Abel, Serena, VJ, Iqbal, and Nadia...
we were the only ones that re-arranged the tables and chairs back to the way they were originally... or at least... as close to the original positions as we could...

After all the work was done.. we talked again!
3am... got a little trouble with my mother... I had decided that I was too tired to drive back home at that time...
but, I was supposed to get my passport today and the car I drove was suppose to be sent to be servised.....
she thought all of that was not going to happen because I won't make it in the morning...
but I told her I could and would....

went out eat with Abel and others... 'makan sahul' or what they call it for the Muslims/Islams.... [Nadia: Hey~ It's makan sahur!]
but really too tired lah... could barely finish the food in front of me....
it was only 5.30am or so that I got to sleep... at Iqbal's place...
he had stayed up to do some work... and called me up at 7am so that I could drive back myself....
boy... I was too groggy that I forgot to say 'Thank you' to him....
Thank you for your help, Iqbal!!

sigh... today.. slept in the morning from 10am til 2pm....
this morning after my shower, went to get my passport.. and now the car's in service.....
done my book review for English.... only work left is Critical Thinking assignment 2...
no problem... tomorrow, I'll probably be able to finish it in a few hours....
it was a great day for me.... = )

Sigh... feel so stressed...

Sigh.. as the title literally says... I feel so stressed...

Today.... Tuesday, 26/10/2004..
The day had started off nicely.... without much worry...
Got through with class without trouble...
Got to watch the Monsterz Group (Jeremy, Wei Cheng, Aldrich, Lu Hieng Ong & Teck Ying) do their presentation during Chemistry this morning...
Boy, did they look G-O-O-D in their formal attire!
Let me give my comment on their performance...

Aldrich,
I could tell easily from his voice that he was very nervous...
He didn't talk too loud, though just enough to be heard, I suppose.
He's ok.... but I'll only give him a 3.5 out of 10 for his performance....
but I know he'll get better at this eventually.

Lu Hieng Ong,
This guy didn't speak loudly as well. (he really should)
I can't remember much to comment on him...
the main thing to comment about is his voice, I suppose.
He is good so far, but should really improve some more on his performance.
How? I'm not too sure yet..
maybe the next time he does a presentation again, then I might be able to say again.

Teck Ying,
This one was also quite nervous... and wasn't as.... smooth...
his speech was definitely not natural as he looked at his notes and practically read them...
if the lecturer was to mark him on his speech alone.. he would get a not-so-high score...
I kind of got the feeling that he wasn't even sure what he was talking about himself... but that's just me...
You should improve on these points, my friend!

Wei Cheng,
Well, this guy performed quite well... he spoke with a nice charisma...
He knew what he was talking about (very knowledgeable and smart person)...
and was quite naturally as he didn't 'read' everything in his speech.
No bad comments from me, but I'd like you to continue improving yourself!
Keep it up, my friend!

and finally, Jeremy,
In my view, Jeremy was the best one amongst the group in the sense of his presentation.
He was lively, animated, and spoke clearly and loudly.
Like Wei Cheng, Jeremy clearly knew very well what he was talking about....
At one point of his presentation he was reading out the chemical formulas... we just HAD to laugh at how fast he was reading them out!!
In my view, Jeremy gave out some kind of aura that was very suited for such an event (a presentation)....
Keep it up, my friend!

=================

the rest of the day went nicely.... I was able to do the IT lab work without much trouble....
when I was done with IT, a message rang in my mobile phone... the messsage was to call for a meeting at Ciao Mien & Hot Beans Cafe at the Lakeside Apartment (hostel area) on campus.
the meeting was to be on at half-an-hour later....
having some time to spare, I did my usual online activities, (while helping a little at Sherry's IT lab work), then half-an-hour later, went for the meeting....

sigh.. it was after the meeting that I started to feel the stress.....
I was assigned to take care of the venue of the Charity Happy Hour which is to happen this Friday night.
basically, making sure everything is set up right.. and making the tables and chairs arrangement in a way that it gives the lounge & bistro atmosphere, and able to accomodate as many people as needed....
sigh... that wasn't the only one to add to my stress....
tomorrow was Chemistry lab practical examination for me.... and I wasn't quite done with the pre-work yet...
but now I am and that's why I feel so much better...
I REALLY MUST thank 'God' for having such a good day today....
good as in I am not left with a bad end for the day....

despite misssing a buffet at Cafe Rosita at Dynasty Hotel for the meeting this evening.. but it's fine...

A second 'great' poem after the first one

A follow-up to the first poem...
This one is one of my personal best and fave!

This is the longest poem I've ever written...
with TWELVE stanzas...
Five syllabuses in each line...
a nice rhyming scheme of a-a-b-c, d-d-e-f, g-g-h-i and so on...
Do tell me your comment on it.


DISTANT, YET, CLOSER

Shocked, flabbergasted,
Angered, frustrated,
Emotions I felt,
When I knew at last.

Watching silently,
Hidden secretly,
Like in a movie;
In a cheerless scene.

For one brief moment,
It felt like torment;
How I felt so downed,
Blinded by green eyes.

Hurt so much it did,
This I dare to bid,
Seeing the one loved
To love another.

But that was all it,
When noticed a bit,
A pleasant aura,
Like a radiant cape.

Smiled I did really,
Can’t help it truly,
To be happy, glad,

For your happiness.

You are a great friend,
Wish it’ll never end,
Our friendship that is,
For you’re an angel.

Despite the upset,
I can bravely bet,
It will only last,
For a while no doubt.

For now I can say,
Onwards from this day,
I promise you this,
My sister you’ll be.

For some time before,
You regard me for,
A little brother,
Like your very own.

And to you I vow,
To him I won’t bow,
If for any time,
He may mistreat you.

Defend you I will,
On my own free will,
For I care for you,
Like a brother should.

A Talk to Remember


Forgotten to add something that happened that Saturday night after my time at Desserts with Abel, Iqbal, Jenny, Jessie, Neilson, Edmund, VJ and KC....

Reached home.... I had a shower.. and had something to eat....
then I SMSed a very very close best friend of mine, Roger to go online so we could chat...
It's been SO LONG since we contacted each other... been busy with our own lives....

I went online and did my usual.. while waiting for him to come online...
but then, instead, he called me....
he said he was lazy to go online and just asked me to talk to him on the phone instead...

Hehehe, it was nice to get to talk with him again...
It's been weeks since we last met or talk with one another.
We told each other about our side of life....
He asked me how I have been doing and how's Curtin been...
I asked him how his academic life is and how he's been along with his girlfriend, Lish...
We talked about where he might go next after his graduation....
He said he MIGHT go to Curtin... but then... highly likely that he won't be...
That night, he even helped me somewhat with my Chemistry... Thanks, Rog!

Sigh.. it was so nice....
definitely a talk to remember....

My first 'GREAT' poem since Form 4

This was a poem that I wrote some time ago... a month ago or so....

Five stanzas and one couplet...
Ten syllabuses in EVERY line...
A PERFECT rhyming scheme of a-a, b-b, c-c, d-d, etc..
Do give me your comment/s of it.


STRANGE OF A CRUSH

A friend was what I once thought of you as,
Just like any other friend that one has;
Someone who was fun, opened and friendly,
One you would sit and talk with openly.
Never thought of you more than that before,
Ever since we met and as I moved for.

So then why now do I feel in this way,
Thinking about you each time of the day?
For you do I really have that feeling,
The one that most would find themselves seeking?
Is the factor of time that affective,
Making me see you as more attractive?

Now another feeling I discover,
A secret emotion undercover,
That never before in my life appear.
It is not gladness but instead it’s fear,
Fear of rejection one could understand,
Rejection I fear I would not withstand.

I often think of how my life would be,
If you were that special someone for me;
Your loveliness that would make my heart race,
Your sweetness that could calm me with such grace,
Your humor that I would love to tickle,
And your eyes would somehow always twinkle.

___Though I fear we don’t share equal passion,
___In time, I will tell you this confession.

Fun but still tiring Saturday...


Boy... I had quite a time on campus today.... and with my friends.

Morning was the Maths Workshop for some Form 4 students from SMK Dato Permaisuri (I think....) who were identified as poor in Maths...
there were 36 of them that came... and one teacher of theirs....
at first, we had actually predicted VERY naughty and 'sam seng' students... the ones that are usually going against the rules and being rude and all...
but it turned out to be otherwise! they were great 'kids'! better behavior than I myself had prepared myself for...
we had quite some fun... they were very sporting teenagers...
the supposed reasons for their poor performance in Maths was their lack of the basics.... either from the fault of the teachers.. or their own... or both....

Anyway, many of us, the CV! members & the Form 4 students had fun... we WERE successful in making some of them start to enjoy Maths, which was a really happy triumph for us CV! members...
Most of the students wish for a longer workshop, which I felt like a really admirable compliment for us and our work...
they even wanted to spend more time with us.... two/three days and one/two nights!!

Afternoon...
I feel SO SORRY for my Chemistry project group members.. for not being able to make it for whatever meeting that they had that afternoon....
Marilyn had sms me to meet her and others at the lab... and I couldn't make it....
when I was able to.. they were already heading back.... I AM SO SORRY, GUYS!

anyway... lunch... I got to join Abel, Snow J, Serena, Iqbal, VJ, Liz, Ehon, Edmund, Jenny and the additional Nadia and Nicholas...
it was a great time.. while waiting for that Brazilian guy of the Rotaract Club.... big guy who was only 19!
I'm not too sure how to spell his name.. so better not make a fool of myself and just remember him for myself and those who were there....
We got to know him quite well.. He was a really friendly guy.
We spent the whole rest of the afternoon with the guy as soon as he got to join US... talking at the cafeteria... giving him a tour of the campus...
We REALLY gotten to know him quite well!!

Evening...
Abel, Jenny, Edmund, Jessie, Neilson, VJ, Iqbal and myself went to Desserts again... along with KC and that Brazillian guy....
we ate some ice-cream.. then the Brazillian had to go to some dinner... but the rest of us continued to stay there...
and got to talk.... A LOT!!
sigh.. the things Abel and his 'brothers' would talk about...
anyway... it was a great time nonetheless.... sigh.. so tired...
and I still have school work to take care of... sigh... and the Chemistry project presentation on Monday... sigh....

Friday - Sunflower Visit


Today, again, got to drive the car to campus all by myself again.
but sigh... today... not so good...

This afternoon was the CV! visit to the Sunflower Center for Special Children....
and I was given the task of organising it....
sigh.... this morning it had seemed that things were going to be fine...
but then it truly wasn't....
after all of my classes were done.... I tried to inform everyone of the time and place to meet...
and as time to go got closer... I was busy looking for the props/items that I needed to bring for the visit...
boy.. wasted A LOT of money at this point... sigh.....
then when the time came... over half of the people that had planned to go, cancelled at the last moment....
sigh.... leaving only eight people and Abel, including myself, to go for the visit....
I feel so sorry and guilty for failing Abel.... sigh.....

fortunately... things worked out a little in the end of our visit...
we had fun with the children there... the children loved the gifts we had for them...
it was all right.... (plus, we got to know how good Iqbal, VJ & Edmund were at making cookies!) :-D

tonight.. going to have a meeting for the Math Workshop that's happening tomorrow morning....
sigh.. mother's so worried about me driving home at night... especially since it might rain tonight...
hope I don't get myself into an accident instead!

AHHH!!! Tuesday!

Completely worn out yesterday....
SIGH! I just hate being so compressed in-between pressure and tension....
==============
Morning,
Since the night before, I had already decided to miss the Chemistry tutorial and go for the one on the next day (the day this post is made)... I just HAD to be done with whatever I could do for the IT project, which I did within an hour into the work.... It really helped take a large load of pressure and tension off my shoulders.....
some of my friends were surprised not to see me in class... Krishna even said that he was about to call me, thinking that I was being late or something....

Afternoon,

Anyway... the rest of the morning went normally.. with addition of some more pressure of the coming IT project Viva Interview by Mr. Foad, our IT lecturer, and the launching of JCCM later that afternoon... I was to be in the dancing group when launching and I just realised that my time to understand the complicated program Wei Cheng created and also finishing the folio of the IT Project is not much....

Immediately after Academic English class, I immediately rushed to the cafeteria to deliver the CV T-Shirts (Still available at RM15 each) to the other dance group members....
then came the event itself... the MCs for the event were Bay & Renee... during the time we waited for our time to dance, Jack bought a container of biscuits from the Sunflower Center booth (RM10) and let everyone have some. I had quite a lot, to be honest, but it was only because I hadn't had much to eat before this and the biscuits were REALLY GOOD!! (You guys should try some, really they are GOOD!)

Sigh... we had to wait for all of the speeches to be over before the actual launching of JCCM... and boy the last speech was especially LONG! You can ask some of my friends how stressful I had look during the last speech before the dance. The guy was talking for so long and I was like praying for him to be done quickly. He was slowly but surely taking more and more of my time from getting back to my IT project work with my group members... and I was REALLY afraid that I might not be able to understand Wei Cheng's program...

Eventually, the last speech was over... then came our turn to dance.... and dance we did! We sure livened up the place and to be honest, I think the audience were only interested to watch our dance, than the speeches....
Despite the tension and pressure I had to endure, I forced a smile on my face during the dancing....
Hahaha! It was for the sake of leaving a good image to the CV members as that we are having fun and enjoy doing what we do, despite the fact of hardship, pressure and etc behind what we do...
But hey, it doesn't mean that I don't enjoy doing this, cause.. I DO!!
always playing and being with friends.. why wouldn't anyone?

anyway... the second the dance was done with... I RUSHED to settle everything of the IT project... tried my best to understand how Wei Cheng's program worked... and went through the Viva Interview with Mr. Foad...

Evening,
after all that, I truly felt that the pressure for the day was completely off me... I felt SO relieved...
I spent some time with the guys at the CV booth in the cafeteria... help to re-count the amount of donation they were able to collect (which was, as expected, less than the day before, unfortunately)...
Abel agreed to help send me back home that evening and so I got to hang with him some more, along with Serena and Snow Jae! ^_^
Picking up Iqbal somewhere along the way, they decided to go out for dinner again... being that I've gone with them so often times to dinner, I thought I tell my mother that I was not gonna be home for dinner...
overhearing my conversation on my HP, Abel asked if my mother was happy to hear me being with him and others to dinner again.
I could recall replying that my mother didn't sound that way, and thus, led to Snow J asking how long have I not eaten at home for dinner...
hehehe... and I couldn't even recall anymore... and they went to assume about a week already... which could be true...
Then we came to a decision for me to be sent back home... I informed my mother about that...
coming to my place, they decided to stick around and meet my mother...
Hahaha.. my mind was like.... 'OK... whatever you want...' I just didn't know what to say about this...

They were first greeted by my two dogs... which didn't greet them nicely... barking so noisily at them.. it was normal I suppose... never did the dogs EVER see or smell them before...
then Abel, Iqbal, Serena & Snow J got to meet my mother, brother, sister and brother-in-law....
after sitting down at the living room, they were served some glasses of Mirinda Orange and some 'dinner'....
then, my mother got to know Abel and the others, somewhat more... and they were constantly praising how nice and delicious and tasty the 'dinner' was... which consisted of some cream puffs, home-made pizzas, soft-bread & fresh honeydew...
after spending almost an hour there, they then left... at this time, THEN did my mother realise that Serena, Snow J and Iqbal were in the Degree... and that Serena and Snow J looked younger than their age.

Night,
then came time for me to go to my routine Wushu practise.... as usual, my aunt, the wife of my Wushu coach and a coach herself, came to pick me up form my house and then got to the Miri Indoor Stadium...
there, did my usual warm-up and then got to practise doing the routine movement with a spear...
boy... it was tiring, despite onyl going through this run only once... added with the tiredness of the day's work I suppose...
after I was done with my run, it was the other's turn... soon, I fall into my fatigue... laid down on the concrete floor... and stayed there, eyes closed.... til it was time to go.. which was about more than an hour later!


haha... boy.. that was the first time I ever fall into my fatigue during such activities.. and just take a nap....
sigh.. like I said.. I hate this time of my life.... but it's all good... I'm happy despite of that...
I just hate having to be like in THREE places at once!!

Tiring Monday

Sigh... last night I was SO tired...
===============
Morning,
I feel I hate this time of my life.... So busy...
ONE, I needed to have a talk with a particular friend....
TWO, the CV (Curtin Volunteers) work at the cafeteria...
THREE, an IT project due the next day... (which my group hasn't even done half of the project, sigh...)

sigh.... and to think at one moment all three of this was happening that morning, where I was having the talk with that particular friend of mine, then my IT project groupmate came to talk to me about the project... and THEN I was called to do something for the CV....

sigh.. my friends often ask me why am I so busy....
what can I say? I only reply them with a laugh....
A laugh meant for laughing at myself and my predicament...
sigh.. it seems awkward.. but it helps... the laugh...
It makes me feel better about it, and kind of makes me feel... I don know... alive?

Afternoon,
Sigh... sorry Miss Anita... didn't mean to miss your class yesterday... sigh..... I'm so sad cause of that....
I wasn't the only one that had to miss her class... Lis and Nadia also had work to do as well with CV...
oh, if you were wondering what work we had with CV, it was taking care of the CV booth at the cafeteria and also doing the promo of the John Curtin Charity Month (JCCM)... and at the same time rounding up some charity donation...
Lis was one of the cheerleaders doing the promo... along with Gretchel, Bella, Joana, Snow J, and Ehon!
Nadia was to help around at the booth....
Me? I was to walk around as the 'sandwich box man/boy'.... What's that?
well.... putting it plainly... I was to wear some signs on my body at the front and back and walk around, promoting JCCM....
I had a better audience than I had thought I would...
then, soon, my work added to distributing fliers of JCCM and then collecting donations for charity...
Hehe! I had to say, I collect quite a load.... but it's the first day of JCCM.. so I'm afraid I'm expecting a lesser haul as time goes by... which I truly hope won't be the case....
THIS IS CHARITY, PEOPLE!!
don't be so selfish not to continue donating after the first one in a short time...

later that afternoon.. coming evening, I got to notice a particular pair of my classmates... which really interested me to be honest... hehehe, some of you might be able to tell who... a particular 'Tae Kwon Do' boy and a particular girl with buckteeth...

oh.. did I mention that I had a quiz for Chemistry later that evening? Well.. I did.. and the time before that was also killing me... sigh.. being so busy the whole day.. made me feel lazy to study for it.....
but I did learn quite some and thankfully Ms Lau, our Chem. lecturer, had a little reminder of our topics before the quiz... which helped me with the quiz, besides teh fact that the quiz was reasonably easy... (THANK GOODNESS IT'S OVER WITH!!)

Night,
before it came night, at evening, worked some more at the LT Foyer (Lecture Theatre Foyer).... arranged the tables... the chairs... help decorate the CV board... before all of this, practised for the dance for a while....
BOY, were those mosquitoes kind enough to stick around all the while when we were there... so kind that we were getting SO ANNOYED by their company....

anyway... after we were done at the LT Foyer.. we went to the Library Foyer.. and counted the amount of charity donation we've rounded up for the day... and the number of CV T-shirts (which cost RM15 to non-CV members, please buy! You can look for me for them!)...
the ones that were there were Abel, Iqbal, Krishna, Serena and Amos... including myself of course...
boy.. counting the coins were such a bother... Iqbal had miscounted them twice... and I made a BIG (troublesome) mistake when counting them all for the last time...
it wasn't long before Krishna and Amos had to go home... then later, Lis and Nadia joined us....
hahaa... then we went to the topic of the Mr. and Ms Curtin Top TEN candidates....
Nadia was SO OVERJOYED when Lis got a call that night that confirms her to be one of the TOP TEN! Hahaha! Laughed til my abdomen was so hurt!
We got to find out that most of the candidates for Ms Curtin were members of CV! Lis, Nadia, Gretchel, Snow J, Giegel and Renee! (Do vote for one of these! They are the best suited for the rank!)
for Mr Curtin... I can see five suitable ones... Bay (Yeo), Raymond (Ting), Ben (Nicoles), Nicholas (Gala) and Jack (Gomez)! (They're all great guys and well-suited for the rank)

Anyway.. after our work was done there, Lis and Nadia went home... then Abel, Iqbal, Serena and me went out... first Abel and Iqbal to have a quick shower at Iqbal's place and Serena to have a quick change of attire at her place... and then we went off to eat somewhere.... (Dynasty Hotel) Iqbal's treat! (Thanks, Iq!!)
Man... they (especially Iq) actually forced me to order something heavy to eat, dspite being his treat... "You'll gonna have to order or I'm beating you up" or something like that, he said to me...
hahaha, and to my luck, I ordered a dish that was slightly too hot/spicy for my taste... sigh.. what a waste.... couldn't finish it...

thus, ending the night with me being so tired.... came home at almost 11.30pm... and slept at midnight... sigh.. so tired....
but overall.. it was a good day for me.... and I'm thankful of that...

I GOT TO DRIVE!!

Hahaha! I got to drive alone all by myself, all the way from my house to campus! AND BACK!
Hahaha! It felt great for me! Hahaha!
Can't wait to do that again some time!

A See-Saw of A Saturday


Boy... yesterday was quite a day....
=============
Morning,
Rained heavily, but had to go to campus, Curtin SarawakMalaysia (CSM)... Got there, no problem there...
Later, went on a visit to the Kidney Dialysis Centre with a group of friends... which included Abel, Serena, Snow J, Ehon, Fera, Jenny, Edmund, Wang Gek, and some others who I didn't know their names...
Boy, was the visit quite informative and as Abel commented, "An eye-opener!"...
We got to learn a lot about the kidney dialysizing process and the many causes of kidney failure that results to one needing this dialysis...
Did you know that they are NO synctoms of kidney failure and if you do see them, it is already TOO LATE!?
The only way to be sure if you have a sign of kidney failure is that you do a blood test at least once a year.
Morgan, who took us around the center, said, "Go to take a blood test during your birthday, as a present to yourself."
If you have kidney failure, you can live for like five years more or so, and with this dialysis, you can only PROLONG it to another fifteen or twenty years more.
that means having to do the dialysis process four hours each three times a week.. EVERY WEEK for the rest of your LIFE!!
if you go to the one that I visited, it costs RM120 per dialysis!! You do the math!!

Afternoon,
after the visit, returned to campus... had lunch and then helped Serena do some work at the LT Foyer... Sara, Jenny, Lis and Nadia were there too, joined for a while by Benet, one of the student council (He's a nice guy)...
Sara didn't get to spend long with us there... and some time later, Jenny too had to go... leaving only me, Serena, Lis and Nadia.... then Abel came back from a meeting and joined us....
It was great just to keep talking about... 'things' with one another.

Evening,
hoi... did something really made Abel angry... and I could understand why... sigh... it's better not to say, but I feel sorry for the fellow that made Abel mad...
Despite how irresponsible he was, he was still a good friend... When I got to know him during Orientation, I actually looked highly of the guy...
It is really unfortunate that he screwed things up.... until even Abel now considers not looking for him for any more help.

Later, we went out to dinner, after 6pm... Me, Abel, Serena and Lis.
First, went to Dessert for some ice-cream... Lis was just craving for some...
We got to meet with Iqbal, Dee Dee and (shoot, I forgotten her name) there, but shortly after they had to go...
Then went to Sultana for dinner... Man, did we spend a LONG time there just talking after finishing our food...
We spend like... from approximately 7 til almost 10pm talking there! Which was GREAT!!! I feel that we gotten to know a lot more about each other... though there's plenty more to come, I'm sure...
Then, my mother called for me to go back... and with that, we left Sultana, after paying of course...
but then, getting back to Abel's car (he drove all of us there), which was in front of Dessert... HE was craving for more ice-cream!
Hahaha... I agreed to go for another round of ice-cream....
and, not to my knowledge, we spent about an hour more there... and then my mother called my mobile phone again, asking for me to get back home....
Which we finally did, as Abel brought me home...

It was a great day, yesterday... despite some downs during the way... but it was great...
I LOVE so much to spend time with my close friends!!
