just a day to remember

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Ok it’s almost 2am and all i’m doing is writing this blog.. I should have start packing and rest for the trip to malaysia this morning.. But i just came home from a great day that i decided to write it down before it vapours away on my mind..

So? What happened today? Well, nothing much.. It’s just one of those day that everything went perfect, that’s all.. And it’s worth to remember.. When all small things happened without a reason and it made you happy.. As simple as that!

Morning i woke up late, had breakfast as always, and when i came down i held the lift for a lady, and then when i walked out from my flat block, they offered me a ride to MRT station.. Well, this has never happened before.. Well i never thought it would happen in a place like singapore.. Where stranger gave a ride to another stranger..

one good thing.. I didn’t came late to the office.. Another one good thing.. I have a nice neighbour i never knew before!

In the office i felt really productive.. The architect gave me difficult and important task for a really short time, but then i somehow wrapped it up.. When the other architects came and asked me if i can help them doing some things for other project, then the director went i must be assigned only to this project, which also i believe that it’s one of the most important and biggest project this company has..

one good thing i’m the only architectural assistant assigned to it that i can learn tonnes of new things.. Another good thing is they somewhat recognized me, and i need to keep up with all this really fast paced work..

Other thing happened was i signed up for the gym! Finally after months of undecisioning! (is undecisioning a word? :p) and it turned out to be great! I should have joined as early as january, when i first thought about it.. Hehe

Breda and I had a bit of chat and eventhough i was still busy working, we had a simple nice chat.. Which was not so often happened these last month.. And of course, it’s absolutely a good thing

After work i met up with donna, a good friend i know from IAF band, she should have bring me lonelyplanet i want to borrow, but she forgot and left it home, then we were going to a place we’d like to eat and it’s just closed, and no interesting movie to be watched unless after midnight.. And when things gonna get worse, she just suggest we went toward so-called “Mitre Hotel”, it’s an abandoned hotel building on Killiney Road, somewhere between orchard and Rivervalley, it’s a place where certain people hang-out…. And we went there

First i came there i amazed on how this building looks.. So old, so rustic, like all of its part almost coming down on you, it’s dark and spooky, like one of those most haunted building stuff.. But as we sat, some people came and there they are.. A couple from New Zealand, swedish siblings, a hot norwegian girl, an almost wasted girl that hardly speak clearly–i think she’s british or somewhere near, and a singaporean host that provide the guys the beers.. And we began to talk about everything.. A really really nice conversation, starting from politics, architecture, tattoo, to traveling and anything you could come up to..

after this 3 hour-long talk, i headed home.. I realized that it’s a big world out there.. And nice people like this is everywhere, there are many things to pursuit! And no, singapore isn’t the destination, it’s not even close! It’s a ticket or door to come out to the world.. A step i need to start to leap..

yes.. This is why i wrote this post to myself.. That day like today must be keep in mind, a perfect day..
