Busy weekend

Just return from singing for 11am mass as usual, which signals the end of my not so busy weekend.

The entire weekend starts off with a morning run of about 8km, with Philip and his church friend. It is a good run considering I have not run for that distance for quite a while. I guess going jogging with a group of friends make a difference. You wont feel the tiredness of the jog as you will be motivated and encouraged constantly by your friends. Guess we are going to keep this saturday morning jog regularly for body and health. Hopefully, I can find someone to jog with back in Singapore.

In the afternoon, I went for Donna's and Janan's birthday party at the Royal Botanical Gardens. I guess what impresses me the most in this party is not the fun part (of having games.. please dont get the wrong idea, I had fun), but rather the thought that comes in organising this event. I must say that Don has a great sister in Amanda and I believed that Amanda had put in lots of effort, time (in planning out the games for us and making sure everyone in COSDU had fun) and a huge amount of money on this birthday celebration.

If I had such a sister or brother or even a friend, I would be touched and speechless. But unfortunately, I am the only child and I am just an insignificant and unimportant person in other people's life and who would give a bloody damn about my birthday? The only birthday celebration I had was my 21st birthday, when I had to do my own invitation and plans. And I believe it is really sweet to organise or plan a birthday party for someone else. The one and only time I had actually planned a birthday 'surprise' was for Audrey, 2 years ago, and that time I am probably a romantic shit, chasing after a girl who probably has no time for your nonsense, and talking to her now is like an intrusion of a person's life even until now I feel that way. (Apologies if you have read this but just revealing my feelings). But anyway, that was the naive 'I' 2 years back, and if I ever plan any birthday party for you (refering to anybody), it doesnt necessary mean that I have an interest in you. But my point is that it takes 'love' to plan any event for someone especially you are running the entire plan mostly.

On the evening, attended an interesting musical by University College "Charades" and I am going to leave you with this quote from the musical:

"Success comes from meeting the right people at the right place and at the right time."
