Went with JC classmates to the wake of Mr Ong's wife tis morning, well he does seem to take it well but at times he does seem sad.... Well nonetheless he has put up a strong front all these while even when he was teaching us Chemistry in JC, since his wife has suffered from Cancer for quite some time...
Nearly the whole class turned up and had an informal kind of gathering and we did somehow consoled and cheered him up a bit I think. Glad that most could actually turned up, and most of those who can't they were either overseas or having sunday church.
Went to Bugis and had lunch, had oyster omlette again, dunno why i keep on craving for oysters these days....Oh and after the lunch drove to Orchard and took a longer route to view past this huge mansion, where there was this row of 5-6 sports cars parked on the garage and this is in Singapore where each of these Ferraris costs a cool $500,000 to $600,000 and this guy had 3-4 Ferraris and one $2 Million Pagani Zonda on his driveway!!!(the one of 2 in Singapore).... Wonder how some people earn their billions...His house was also outstanding, with one bald eagle statue that must be like a real lufe replica situated in the front porch with a fountain behind...
Went with Clement, Brenda, Huimin, Anna, and Ting yang for coffee at coffe club at Ngee Ann City after that and we chatted quite a bit... Especially abt holidays since the gals are graduating after their 3 year course at NUS Science...so one of them wnet Bangkok on this new budget airline in Singapore, valuair. Its just $138 for a round trip flight, sounds reasonable.
The night was spent watching the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco, live telecast... great race, lots of changes and suprises... but Jarno Trulli deserved his 1st win on a Renault. At least Michael Schumacher's luck is broken and a Ferrari did not dominate. Sometimes support is required for the black horse, or the lesser team so that there will be new life to a competition...Reminds me of the recent upsets in the presidential election in India. Hope that a similar upset will be in place for George Bush's USA election... just dun agree with his political methods and war-like stance. (Hope i dun anger the pro-bush people here)
Oh and my mum got for me the new Singapore $10 plastic note...was hoping to get it on the release date itself but couldn't because of attachment. But I got it anyway and its a nice addition to my notes collection!!
