Lunch with Mary

NB: This post is supposed to be published on 5th September 2007, but I just realised that uit wasn't published and so here it is:

Yeah, under Grace Chua's insistence, I met up with Mary for lunch at Clementi today. I passed by the Sweet Talk shop Hui Min and I agreed never to patronise ever again and started missing her. Haha.

I wasn't exactly hungry, so I bought some fried yam cakes. They were actually good... Haha. Then Mary treated me to iced coffee. But I should have asked for Chrysanthemum tea. LOL.

We sat there and chatted a little. Because I have PPDA (Physicochemical Principles of Drug Action) practical at 2, we couldn't spend a lot of time together. But it was good to see her. I had initially planned to leave at 1.15, but couldn't be bothered. So when we walked to the MRT, the Pasir Ris train just left!!!!!! Argh, that was when I started to panic. It was already 1.30 pm and then I still have a bus to catch.

The MRT came only at 1.35 and I reached Buona Vista at 1.40. I started running all the way to the bus stop and luckily, I caught it.

But things aren't always that easy. There was a stupid traffic jam (and it was so warm and stuffy I sweat-ed like mad) and I had to apologise to Seoh Thin who had arranged to meet me at 1.50. Argh, I was feeling so guilty.

I finally arrived at the bus stop and she had to run with me all the way to the practical lab. The reason why I dislike labs is that no matter how early I have planned to leave my house, I always end up running to aim to reach there on time (today I was late by 2 minutes, LOL) and the lab coat would make me sweat like mad inside. And the PPDA practical would have a long session of briefing and make everything worse.

But Mary, I'm not blaming you. Haha. It felt great to see you and I hope we can meet up more often. You're a great friend, you know. =)
