turned right into da silva lane and all i could see was construction going on and brickhouses that were as old as 30 years. then this pine tree caught my attention so i walked towards it and ta da! it was ben’s house. the pine tree was rooted in his garden-turned-jungle. as to how you guys would have thought i could manage to find ben’s house, it’s simply because of the superb mapping abilities and acute sense of direction that i possess. no question ’bout it lol. and no, i didn’t call cindy -_-.

ben’s lucky to experience spacious living, though 75% of his house/room was untidy; too many things around kinda crammed the living space. his room’s an utter mess. now that recalled an incident a couple of weeks ago (he was vacationing in australia) how we were all disgusted when he left his underwear hanging lopsidedly over at my cubicle divider. (i held it with my pinky and dropped it on his floor and covered it with a piece of paper eww!!!.) what a fella!!

so anyway back to where we were.. i brought a few PS1 and Ps2 games over but unfortunately some of them couldn’t work on his PS2 set.. wonder if his was mod. we played for a while until more guests arrived and we started barbecuing. there were yummy chicken wings, salad, soft drinks & vodka, beef, pork, franks and sting rays! and i liked his charboil flame griller set, where you can just ditch the charcoal and flame starters to avoid unnecessary mess and hassle. and jeff exclaimed at the end of the bbq session, how it was the healthiest bbq he has ever had. of cos!!

present: ben, stanley, jeff, jiahao, desmond, leicester, kok wei, anthony and me.
there shd have been more highlights like satay, otah, prawns, marshmellows, black-peppered chicken, nasi lemak blah blah. LOL. just kddin.. what really mattered was the company right?..

wonderful and not so wonderful moments of the week:
- WKK slapped me on my thigh during Life! -_-.
- me and timmy punched the same car coupon numbers -_-.
- i ate and ate at my cousin’s birthday last weekend like nobody’s business (sadly i’d forgotten my cam fone that day).
- banged my toe against my bed frame yesterday (it still hurts now).
- cindy qia me to bah ku teh at this famous stall in thomson area. (we joined the other superiors and i casually commented how the upper generations really love such traditional delicacies and they replied that this was a luxury product during their time. and we the younger ones could only appreciate the ‘higher class’ international cuisines and cafes). personally i think it’s true to certain extent.
- i’m shortlisted for nus architecture!

things to do!
- prepare a portfolio (i’m thinking of adding ehms to best capture my interest in design specifically)
- do my minutes -___________________-. sianzz.
- read up on architecture books to get an idea of what i’m expected to know in case i’m asked at the interview.
- shall officially commence my “after ORD dinner i will start” resolution as stanley has “conveniently” reminded me of.
