Met my awesome bunch of people for XLB dinner after tuition in the afternoon. Haven't met them all since i -cant-remember when too. Really felt extremely comfortable eating in their presence, catching up about Eng's internship and Benson's Japan trip. How we idolise those dumplings so. Or maybe DTF just has a nice ambience to eat and talk in haha. Walking from raffles city to Bugis to eat dessert right after such a full dinner seriously only they're capable of this.Meeting up soon for Yinshuen's belated birthday dinner! (:
So after we parted ways to go home, B & I decided to go complete his initial birthday celebration i wanted to carry out but didn't have time to. We came here previously and saw people lighting _______ up and i always wanted to do it too so yay im happy that i tried it once in my life and it was really a pretty sight to see them rise up and away into the sky.
Then we opened up the boot and sat at the back of the car to chat, and talked for 4 hours HAHAHA. i really lose track of time whenever i talk to B. Got lost along mandai road (AGAIN.) but my fault haha!

Now that im 19 and start to have activities of my own, i start to realise how important parental trust is. For instance when i told them im gonna start giving out tuition lessons, my parents never question more and they seem to trust that i know what im in for. When i stay out really late for band concerts, or just for dinner/supper with them on random days, my parents never ever doubt my activities either. I mean its precisely because of this trust that i receive, that helps me hold on to my beliefs even stronger. Because you have your parent's trust, you know you'll never engage in activities that worry them like late night hardcore clubbing/drinking like i see most of my peers doing now that they have freedom of their life, or heading to try shisha/pick up smoking, or thinking premarital sex is okay, or alot of other stuff that seem nonsensical to me. Like for B, his faith helps him to anchor himself to his beliefs and for me because i wasn't introduced to any faith from the start, i think good upbringing and good parent-child communication helps alot.
Sitting on the ledge of the car boot with B, looking at cars drive past, staring out at the pretty scenery,having long warm talks, i think that's the kind of life i enjoy. I just pray that when i start school in August, i meet like-minded people who are willing to make friends with me even though i don't drink or club and find it hard to fit in.
ps : last night when we drove back we met with a roadblock and B was like " IS THIS A BREATHALYZER?" and we were both getting excited ( or maybe just me ) because this is the first road block i've ever encountered. Yet surprisingly when B stopped the car ready to do the breathalyzer the police kinda waved us away -.- and before us they already stopped this car of really really young looking teengers who looked 14/15. My conclusion : " we both look too chaolao la. Even the police cant bring themselves to think we might be kids who stole our parents' car to go drink " HAHAHA.
okay i feel like i had an eventful night.
