Hectic work schedule

Just managed to settled down now at my desk with a drizzle still going on, subsiding from a downpour half an hour ago. It's been quite a hectic work day for me as the agency in China screwed up as expected and delayed in reverting on time. Had to stay until 9 something but waited for nothing eventually. Well, at least I had a sumptuous dinner at Yoshinoya, it was Hoki Fish Set with Spudster(Fried Mashed Potato Balls). Upsized for another dollar and was feeling replete by the time I finished dinner. Lunch was okay, went to Cineleisure food court with my colleague DS and we were meeting our mutual friend Princess over there. Princess said that she intends to go for the SIA air-stewardess again, and this time, it was actually encouraged by her boyfriend. Perhaps he loves her so much that he has to let her do what she dreams of doing. But for a long distance relationship, it certainly will be quite a feat to maintain and improve the relationship. If she succeeds, she'll be flying around the world going places, meeting different kind of people and it's quite possible that her perception towards the relationship might change and might turn out to be sour eventually. Especially when you can meet pilots who are equally good-looking and well-off, I'm sure it's rather tempting. As for my case, as some of you who are quite close to me might know, deep inside my heart, it is still a puzzle. What do I want? My gf doesn't read my blog, it might matter if she gets to know about this blog, yet if that's is so, this blog is gonna be moved to somewhere else where it is safe. Why am I thinking like that? I certainly feel that some of my inner feelings are so vulnerable that I am not ready for her to delve into it and conquer them. My tendency of being reticent about my true feelings sometimes are beyond my control.

Went to an event called "Youth Advolution for Health(YAH) 1st anniversary at DXO Club, next to Esplanade last Saturday by the way, free flow of mocktails was the one that drew me to that place and I asked my gf along too. And there were cool performances like the samba masala band, radical group breakdance show,a DJ performance, a pseudo-DJ mouth performance(I don't know the proper term for that!), songs by past Idol finalist Daphne Khoo and I think the host was quite good too. And unexpectedly, there was a free buffet dinner too, there was rice, fried beehoon, fried fish fillet, braised chilli chicken, brocolli/cauliflower mixed veggy dish, cakes and fruits. Best of all, we had a free flow of mocktails said early, and I tried a few glasses of Shirley Temple(Raspberry punch), Virgin Margharita(Lime punch) and Pussyfoot(Pineapple punch).I am still not so sure of the peculiar names given to cocktails/mocktails/alcoholic beverages generally since I am not a night owl. This event was a no-smoke,no alcohol event(I think also no-junk-food, no-casual-sex!) by the way, but I still think it's splendid.

Left the club after 3 hours plus and then wanted to just take a stride along the Esplanade leading to the Clarke Quay area and then when it was about 8:30pm, we saw a congregation at the al-fresco performance area where free performances are usually held. So we went to check it out and then it was a half an hour gig from the NUS Jazz Band! Haha..cool, so we found our way to the front row of seats apparently unoccupied and sat through the entire performance. And then......suddenly the conductor seemed to be facing me and asked me..."Do you know cowboy?Wanna try playing it?". Then I was like "No thanks......" coz I didn't understand what was referring to and didn't want to take any chance to self-embarass myself. Haha..then on the second attempt, he went to get the "Cowboy" and then brought it down to me and asked me to play that. Hahaha..I thought what was it, it was a woodblock instrument! Initially, I tried hitting that, and awkward thudding continous sound was made by me hitting the woodblock with the conductor stick. Then I got comfortable and played along with the jazz band with my "percussion". Very fun and interactive indeed.

After that, we were planning to go back already and on our way we saw circle of chairs and there were some volunteers and then some basic musical instruments being laid on most of the chairs. The leader of the volunteers called on anybody to join in the Community Drums Circle and have fun! Haha..we stood and observed a while, before being tempted to join in the circle to "hit" some fun out. Haha. Quite tired at the end of it already,but it was a fun event too!

So, that night out was quite a significantly happening one after for such a long time, and I feel youthful and refreshed again! And on a final touch, it sort of rekindled some love sparks again in my relationship with Mich.
