The Damn LENSE
Its been a fun day, even work was pretty laid back aside from the normal problems, popped over to my mums house to search for my old tamron lense. I found it under the bed heheh in pretty bad shape but nothing a good cleaning couldnt sort out. It took me two hours to clean the darn thing only to find out it doesnt fit my new camera! It made no sense cause it fit my old canon eos but it doesnt fit the new one! i really need to call someone and check out why. That i will admit was a downer, but lunch was good made sambal fried rice, the wife and i both had a hand in it and it turned out good.
TIE PIN DOOR GIFTThe big even of the day was a dinner at my old school, St Patricks Secondary...
(The above portion was written at 1am sunday morning, the below section was written monday morning at 1150am) The Mass Book
Back to the blog, Saturday night was a really fun night, Sherwin and i went to the blessing of new buildings at our old school. There was a mass followed by a nice dinner, 97 tables..i only heard the dinner was nice cause my other good friend Fr.Iggy (or friggy as he is know) was busy dragging us around the place meeting up with some old friends some of whom i have not seen for 15years. It was really nice to catch up with old teachers and friends most of whom cant belive that i married a kc girl much less a teacher. We sat at the current 4n1 table which was my old class and the table was set up just outside what was my old classroom which is now a foyer. These guys are nothing like what my classmates were, they seemed a clean cut decent lot of boys which is totally opposite to what me and my mates were like. Even the teachers seemed so young, shock of shocks one of my peers from school is now a teacher and from what i hear he is pretty strict.
St.Pats BookletI got to thinking that when i was leaving school these kids were still in the birth canal. The school was so different then it was geared to making a well rounded person, but we never focused on scolastic areas and spent most of our time trying to hoodwink teachers so that we could have a good time and boy did we have a good time. With hindsight i wish i had done things a little differently and tried to balance out fun and work. As a student all the big choices are made for you, what school to go to, what subjects to take and things like that but its the little descions that make the difference in the long run, skipping a couple of classes doesnt seem to be a big deal, but it gets bigger when they ask questions on the subject you missed during your o'levels and that doesnt seem such a big deal as well when ur taking your o's cause heck there is plaenty of time to retake them...then one day 10 years later you realise what a bad choice you made by skipping a couple of classes. That snowball keeps rolling down till it becomes a giant and crushes everything in its path. cest la vie eh...its karma
We had a good chat with a very nice lady who is a teacher there, social studies, and she was very nice i think my age if i am not wrong though she looks at least 5 years younger. She was asking us what school was like in our days and we were glad to tell her.
the night ended with Sherwin, Russel (a current patrician.the dude who helped us so much in getting the tickets, thanks RUSSEL!), Corey (a cousin and a current patrician) and myself standing at the 31 bus stop and chatting i was pointing out the old landmarks of my youth including the squash courts from where i first so the wife and barons court for where we watched the girls go by.
Sunday, the wife the doo and i planned to go to FARMART Center near Tengah , the moo wasnt planing to go cause she was supposed to be cooking but to our joy she managed to joins us so the 5 of us went for our little trip (the fatty lumpkin aka pepper came too) The puppy that we saw last week was still there and the two dogs really enjoyed themselves(pics on this will be posted later). Popped back to bedok res for a nice devil and bread lunch . We dropped by ems house for a 20min chit chat session and back home. It was a long day, the wife had devil for dinner while i made a sambal dory pasta which turned out pretty good .
Saturday was so fun that it as almost easy to forget U.Marcs Anniversary....but i had a cigar in memeory of him..
Side bar
