Under the "stars" and within the haze

It's amazing how God brings old friends back together. A day before Church Anniversary, I got a call from a girlfriend whom I haven't been contacting for over the past 3-4 years other than the normal birthday and Christmas greetings. I got real excited hearing her voice and it's a good feeling to know that after so long, we could still have so much to talk about. [And today, she kept calling me Aunty thanks to the 5-year age gap!!]

Her passion's very much like mine - Kids. So I got her involved in Child Minding at my org. Heee.. It was her first time today! When I met her at Orchard MRT station, she couldn't recognize me! Can you imagine how long we haven't met? [Or is it because I have cut my hair?]

Anyhow, in the later part of the evening, after Child Minding, we made our way down to Padang to meet other old friends. It was the Nokia Starlight Cinema!! It was such a NEW experience!!! I wished the haze was gone so that I can see the stars!!! It is so rare to be lying on the grass gazing at the sky in Singapore.

Honestly, I initially had no interest in the show (Xmen 2 & 3) at all but we had free tickets - 8 of them! The "We" in the previous statement was my other colleague (aka ex schoolmate) and myself. We had free tix from SMRT so we decided to get our ex-sec sch friends to join in.

Well, they always say that a good company is all you need to make an outing perfect. Yup.. That's what I had. Also, the movie wasn't all that bad la... Just that it's very unreal. Hee... :)
