5th May 2007 - The gathering with 'hidden' agenda.

The gathering almost didn't happen. Why? Well, apparently there were quite a lot of aeroplanes flying past on that day. I thought my birthday is coming. Don't get it? My birthday falls on a day where planes will streak the skies. Anyway, luckily, things turn out ok. The gathering survived. I was so worried that everyone wouldn't have fun. I guessed I overly worried. Everyone seems to have their share of fun.

Singing at KTV was a different experience this time round. Usually, it would be just Chinese and Cantonese songs, maybe a little bit of English. This time we have lots of English, Chinese, Japanese, a little bit of Korean(well, someone did try) and little bit of Cantonese(I tried). It was fun though. But then I don't know it is the atmosphere or the mood of the songs. People start to get bored/tired/restless. Luckily, it's just a part of the itinerary for the day.
Dinner happened quickly. Everyone were hungry. Ate cheerfully.

After dinner, we went to Marina Sq. I thought we would be having desserts and coffee somewhere there. There was a change of plan. We brought the Birthday Boy to buy a birthday cake of his choice. We went over to Bullpen where everyone gathered. Birthday cake, Birthday Song, Birthday boy. I'm sure he's pretty happy. He said he haven't been celebrating birthdays for quite a while. It's good to know someone is happy and appreciated efforts put into making things happen.

Talking about being appreciated for efforts. It's upsetting. Someone else actually initiated the gathering and somehow I took on the role of the organiser. Which is fine with me because I do like to gather people and organise gatherings. I love gatherings. So, efforts was put into planning the day, time, venue, activities and people to gather. I can't say it's a major gathering or what. Just that, I took time to think and organise so that the people I intend to gather can all make it. Somehow, along the way, some people just disappeared. Promised made but not kept. Cuteger was upset about it and almost didn't wanna come too. Luckily, for me, she kept her promise. I'm so glad she came. Really my friend who appreciates my efforts and kept promises. The guys were all sporty. I'm glad I didn't cancel the gathering.

I'll do more gatherings still despite having fear that things don't turn out the way I planned. I'll just be more careful about who to gather along. Cuteger, Mr Exotic, Mr Potter, Mr Sporty and Mr Stylist, Mr 'Beng' are definitely on my list. Bunch of nice people to hangout with.
Yeah~

Looking back, life is so different now. Things are falling in place neatly. Working a more decently paid and good experience gained job, completing and starting on new course of study, decent social life, fair amount of Taekwondo. I guessed life has never been so proper and fulfilling. One of the best parts is, I made some great friends along the way.
Cuterger: Known her for a year more and counting. Pretty, smart, adorable ger. A frend, a sister, a colleauge.
Mr Stylist: Hmm... Know him for a year or so and counting. Clicked right away easily. I guessed probably there wasn't any age gap. He's just a day older than me. Like Cuteger, he's a frend, a 'sister'(because of some incident, Cuterger called him 'Jie'. No, he's not a gay.). The days working together... It's a memory to be kept.
Well, for Mr Potter and Mr Exotic I didn't really get to know them more until recently. They are both great people to be with. It's the same for Mr 'Beng' and Mr Sporty.

It's gonna be a wonderful year, well, half year I guessed. It's almost mid-year now.
WOW! Look at the time! Time to sleep!
