Sunday, November 19, 2006 Brought my family to the Thai restaurant that I went to with Duane, Windz and PF some time ago, the one beside Tiong Bahru Market. Been meaning to bring them there for a while already, because food is cheap and good and the portions are big and I think it'll suit the palate of my picky parents, even though it was Thai cuisine. Ordered pretty much the same stuff I had the previous time, except that my parents didn't want fatty stuff so ordered beancurd and brinjals instead of the boiled pork. My parents were quite impressed with the food and the prices, and the whole family enjoyed the meal. And I treated them! =D At my insistence. Anyway it was only ~$50, for 4 people it is a real bargain for a good and filling meal. Haven't quite started studying, because I still can't get started.. So slacked the weekend away doing whatever I like.. Oh and I went for my medic's birthday BBQ.. haven't seen the guys from my unit for so long, I've forgotten all their names! No big shots there, all small fry ex-NSF, all been through tough times and stuck through it together and took care of each other. One thing about my medic, he is a good judge of people, and I'm not trying to praise myself here, but everyone else from the unit who was invited are good people, people who didn't backstab and weren't selfish (which is why I wonder why I was invited.. Sadly I ain't free from guilt). So we had a great time catching up, and talking about the bad old days, and about how the unit is now, and where all the b**tards are now.. And I almost miss those times, although it was tough then it was also simpler. I was also simpler then. Maybe that's why we'll miss the "good old days".. It's not the hopscotch and five stones and playing soccer using a crushed packet drink that we miss, rather it is the us, then, that we miss.. We miss looking at the world simply, through rose-tinted glasses, we miss the innocence, the total lack of responsibility, we miss being carefree and having not a care in the world. Which then reminds me of this song: The Beatles - Yesterday ---------------------------- Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, There's a shadow hanging over me, Oh, yesterday came suddenly. Why she Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said, Something wrong, now I long for yesterday. Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in yesterday. Why she Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said, Something wrong, now I long for yesterday. Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in yesterday. To a certain someone: Hi, long time no talk. But I still need more time. Just to be sure.
