Last Friday, I met up with my OG mates and as usual, we had a great time hanging out till 4 in the morning. The boys stayed together till the first train. I rushed home just in time for sahur and of course, I got nagged at by Mum for going home late during Ramadan. My parents don't really have a curfew for me, but they nag sometimes when I go home late.
A short conversation I had with Gary on that night.
Me: Why do Chinese boys always play basketball and Malay boys always play soccer?
Him: Good question. Chinese boys are more selfish than Malay boys.
Me: Why do you say so? Are you selfish?
Him: Well, basketball... 1 ball for 10 people. But soccer, 1 ball for 22 people.
Gary is so supportive of me cooking at home, he's hoping one day I will invite him over to my place and he will judge my cooking skills. He's also hoping that I will serve him a good medium rare steak. That boy is so particular about his food!

The next day, I had a great time with my paternal family. We had dinner at Kintamani restaurant. The food can still be improved, but my brothers and I still ate a lot because duh, it's buffet... how can you eat so little? Such a waste!
It was great to just laugh with my cousins and joke around with them even though most of us are now in our 20s and some are in their early 30s. We are all still the same. My cousins who are married with kids... gosh you will think marriage changes people but nah, so far my cousins are still as childish as before. But that's the joy. We still appreciate each other's company, and I'm thankful to have a family that always want to keep each other close to them.

On Sunday, I woke up in the morning with my stomach aching so badly because I think I ate a little too much at the restaurant so my stomach probably felt overly stretched. I even decided to go MAEC with no makeup on... I've been trying to go out with makeup on as much as possible, trying my best to be more girly.
Fuad couldn't stop disturbing me about my no makeup face. One day, I will make him put on some makeup, give him a good makeover and make him fall in love with makeup. Just you wait, Fuad. 😈
Shamimah is now busy working part-time while studying (gosh seriously, what am I doing with my life?) and Shazilla is busy working a shift job at the airport.
Shamimah and Shazilla
We had a good time catching up on each other's life. I'm happy to see how my friends are doing now. Shamimah is so excited about her boyfriend coming to Singapore this coming September (a German boy stole her heart) and she just got herself a cat. I'm just so excited to meet the cat. (Honestly, more excited to meet the cat than her boyfriend, but I can't say that because I have to play the best "best friend" card here.)
We shopped after that, did a lot of makeup shopping... Seriously, we have grown so much. 10 years ago, all we did was stressing over what to eat at the school canteen under the bench with the umbrella on it.
Shamimah decided not to buy anything that day, but just now she texted me that she did some retail therapy which added up to about SGD200. Shazilla is not a makeup kinda girl, so last Sunday, Shamimah and I kinda introduced her to the whole foundation, powder, blusher magic... I swear that girl felt like she's doing some maths equation shit the whole time. It's a whole new world for her.

And on Monday, I went to accompany Daya to Geylang to get her baju raya. But I ended up buying a pair as well. Someone should really take my card away.
We felt so weak after walking all over Geylang. It's so hard to find the perfect outfit for raya. They're either too expensive or made up of uncomfortable material. Everything at the bazaar is so pricey this year, and I found out from Nab that the rent for her mum's stall is SGD70k for the whole Ramadan. It's just... crazy.
We went for dinner at The Ramen Stall and thought of stopping by at some cafe so that I can have some cheesecake. Really, I need help with this whole cheesecake phase I'm having. It's not going away at all... Oh well. We ended up at a cat cafe, and really I'm just so in love with cats nowadays.
One day I will open a cat cafe just for rescue cats.
