A birthday celebration

I'm 25, no getting any younger!

It's been quite a good day today. I woke up late around 9.30am, and by the time I finish pottering 'round the house it was around 10.30am and I met QK at Tampines MRT Station Control. We felt like a million dollars, walking through Tampines Mall and Century Square on a lovely weekday without the crowds who will otherwise create a hectic feel to an otherwise peaceful stroll. We had breakfast in Delifrance, where he shared with me his recent escapade of purchasing things that he will need at one go recently during the Great Singapore Sale where he clocks 10x cardpoints which can then become Krisflyer miles. He got himself a free return ticket to Japan, so lucky!

If I am on JET it'd be a dream come true.. but sadly that's not the case but HEY! Maybe I can go with him! Let's KIV yeah?

I was desperately hoping for a dash of of inspiration and I bought the Straits Times today. While rummaging it, I grew more and more despondent as none of it shed light against anything related to my current 1/3-life dilemma, until the last page of CATS recruit. In a half-page spread "Career happiness is child's play", I got what I was looking for.

Thank you.

After the breakfast at Delifrance, we decided to trace our roots by going back to the old MOELC where our friendship first took root and flourished from there. It was a wonderful chat, reminiscing about the past and projecting the future. We miss our Japanese classes! Followed which I had to go back to office as the company has planned an afternoon tour of PowerSeraya power plant on Jurong Island. I managed to meet WT for a very short while, and was pleasantly surprised to receive her gift of an expensive Domanchi belt that is very, very cool.

Thank you very much! You know me so well!

The trip to PowerSeraya was alright, where we saw the infamous 3-josssticks (chimneys to the fuel oil steam generators) and 2 other recent developments. We each received an exquisite set of pens as souvenirs, cool! :)

After coming home, I squeezed a swim at the Tampines Swimming Complex, followed by dinner at home and finally cake-cutting.

A wonderful day? You bet!
