Third steamboat dinner at SF's house

Spent half the day at home and then went off to SF's house for steamboat with the mentors. It had been such a long time since we last met up and meeting one another again was really, really a happy thing. Too bad G couldn't make it or else it would have been all eight of us.

Reached there in the evening and watched J and Bubbly play some ninja turtle game. It was so funny! After that, we had fun catching up while eating food. Had steamboat, fruits, wine and lastly ice-cream which PL bought. Watched Singapore Idol and the 9 o'clock swimming show and did a lot of bitching together. Went back to the kitchen after the shows ended and had the wine and ice-cream. J talked about a friend's boyfriend who recently passed away because of some skin-eating disease/cancer. SF went on to talk about his friend who has been on respiratory aid for about 6 years. Only able to move his eyes. Can't speak or move any other parts of his body. Then another friend who had an accident and now has permanent brain damage.

Life is so unpredictable. I was reminded of the letter I wrote to myself for the course I attended the week before last week. Six months later, the trainer will mail them back to us. While I was writing the letter, a strange thought suddenly came to mind. Would I get to read this, I thought.

Anyway, everyone seemed rather contemplative while SF and J did the sharing. I wanted to tell a silly story to break the tension but decided not to in the end. Anyway, we went home after that. Well, well, I shall have to save that for another day. Monday we will be meeting up to celebrate SF's birthday. Till then.

In the end, I reached home at midnight. PL had a scary encounter. Next time, we shall try to go home earlier or cab together, if we are going back east.

P.S. Glad you liked it! =)
