meet up with June, Kino & Ben for dinner and to watch Fireworks Festival yesterday. originally planned to take sg flyer up to watch the beautiful view and of singapore. but its raining the whole day so decided against it. Ben's dad had parked at Marina Sq's food court on friday to see the fireworks and had told Ben which direction to look out for. so we got an idea where will be the best place to witness the wonderous colours in the sky. checked out the food court's view, followed by the roof top of Marina Sq. these weren't top enough, neither can we have the entire display. so decided to go Mandrain Oriental Hotel. guess wad? we climbed up to 19th storey already and the roof access is @ 22nd. we met the security guards and were chased down. as Kino was ahead, he had reached the top and informed us its locked too. faint.
time is 815pm by then. Ben thought of benjamin shears' bridge then. made our way over immediately. thank God that Ben had cancelled his appointment with his friends and chosen to come with me instead. or we would not have known about such a stragetic location to see the amazing fireworks. it has been two years since ii last saw it. this time around, its much much nicer. thats only one regret that ii have tonight; being greedy and tried taking 15minutes of the video instead in batches. but hey, wad ii saw will remain in my heart definitely.

the very last time ii met Ben is back in my secondary school days. though we both went in to nyp, we hadn't bumped into each other. few months ago he started smsing me and wanna meet up with me. but time isn't right. we always ended up cancelling the meeting last minute as things cropped up. he hadn't changed all these years. still looked and sounded the old Ben ii used to know. he holded my hand and offered me his arms when ii almost slipped and fall as i'm wearing heels and its raining. pretty gentleman. chatted on the 1+ hour ride back to amk. dunno wad got over me. suddenly said out ken's name when ii wanna talked about alex >.< after that, the rest of the conversation between Ben and ii surrounded about ken's past experience; his ambitions and the ranks he used to hold.
we parted ways about 12mn. on the way back ii realise something. all the guys' fren that ii have, ii can always joke around with them. hold hands & arms & tickling them, its all not an issue. ii can do it as and when ii wanna and the guy will never protest. but when it comes to the guy ii like, in this case is ken, ii wanna tickle him but ii dun dare to. when ii wanna get his attention, ii will only call his name or knocked on his chair. ii dun dare to touch him at all. why so? really have no idea =( ii also does not need to have his photo. cos his face is printed on my mind and soul. faith ah faith, dun get so serious! later you will fall deep!!!!!
