Bits and pieces

This post is going to be a recollection of all the funny/weird/embarrassing/happy/memorable moments of the last couple of weeks, written in code though to keep the suspense going and save myself from public humiliation... I don't quite know why I'm even writing this down, but I suspect I'll want to read through this in a year's time and laugh at myself (again..)

- Unravelling of shoes when crossing the road during lunch... And again when walking on the road during lunch.. Twice..

- Attempts to imitate someone's eating habits (consisting of slurps, loud munching and sniffing) resulting in myself choking due to laughing and slurping a drink at the same time..

- A warm look of surprise and gratitude due to an unexpected lunch delivery on Tuesday..

- A particular exchange of words over camera models, which resulted in a DVD of horror movies the next day..

- A long and painful meeting on Thursday, a mad run into the lift to escape the office mushroom, and a harried run to Bugis with furtive looks over our shoulders.

- Laughs, more laughs, sharing old secrets and reliving old stories from school over 1-for-1 Bacardis, chicken drumsticks and self important potato wedges at a random bar in Orchard

- 12 laps in a 50 m pool and feeling like the owner of rubbery legs and an overworked heart...

- A three way family conversation on skype that ended in a lot of confusion, hilarious yelling to one another, and a heavy dose of laughter

- Art paper shopping and cutting paper chains under a desk...

- Messages from the northern end of the world that make you smile after a long, painful and tiring day, and miss the ones dearest to you..

- Hanging out with kids who wrote down chocolates, soft drinks, candy and meat in the 'bad food' column and rice, bread and abalone in the 'good food' column

- A drumming performance using drumsticks, poles made of bamboo, and feet.

- A Sunday that started off at Holland village, through lunch at suntec city, shopping at Marina Square, the discovery of a bohemian store, coffee and pretzels by the fountain of wealth, a sunny walk back to Bugis, a traumatic visit to Mustafas, the purchase of ramli burgers on the way back home, and the viewing of 1/3rd of a movie..

Yup, the little moments in life make it all worth the while.. :)
