Went out with the class yesterday for dinner before the guys go to army. We were supposed to have steamboat at Marina, but there was a last-minute change of plans, so we had dinner at nydc, in front of Heeren, instead. Only about 15 turned up I think, and in the end, we were only sending off Eric and Edwin, who're supposed to go in this week. Dinner was fun though; got to catch up with quite a few people, whom I haven't seen in a month I think. I found out that almost everyone who's not going to army anytime soon is actually working and earning money. Just hearing my friends talk about finding a job, pay, CPF account and stuff made me think I'm missing out on something. I want to be able to work too - to be able to learn new things, experience the working world and earn my own money. I feel bad that my friends can actually earn their own money, whereas I still have to depend on my parents for money. But I guess learning Chinese is like going to be a lifelong skill. As my mum put it, maybe I can work in China or other Chinese-speaking countries next time, or have more opportunities.

Anyway, after dinner, we were standing around in front of nydc, waiting for Charlene and Eline to come back. And guess what.. we saw Taufik!!! Yes..the Singapore Idol! I overheard someone behind me talking on the phone, telling the person to go down to nydc because taufik batisah was there. So I turned and looked at the entrance of nydc, and there he was, signing autograph. I couldn't believe it at first. I just stood there, staring at him. Think I was just quite shocked haha. First impression was.. he's so tall! I didn't he know he's so tall! After staring at him for a few moments, I told Sin Hui (who's a hard-core Taufik fan) that Taufik was there and she got super excited. That was when I started getting quite excited too haha. Four of us (Sin Hui, Li Lian and Ade) managed to catch him in time and take a picture with him! Pity I didn't take out my camera fast enough. I felt bad about asking him to take another picture, so I don't have a picture of 5 of us in my cam. He looked quite sian about taking the pix, but at least he obliged and agreed to it. The class guys looked quite amused at our excited faces haha. Even though I only saw Taufik for like about 3 minutes, I'll remember it for a long time. My first time meeting an Idol in person. I think I'd have gone even crazier had I met Sylvester instead haha. Anyway, when I went home, I watched Amazing Race and after the show, they showed the video for I Dream. Watching it, I still couldn't believe that I'd actually met Taufik.

Had lunch with Shuping today after class. She's working nearby, so we thought we could just meet up during her lunch-break. Talked to her about a lot of stuff.. and she also didn't believe that I can drive! Seems like everyone doesn't believe I can drive. I must admit I'm not a good driver, but I think I can now drive safely. Hopefully, haha. I want to watch Australian Open too! Pity I can't go to Melbourne when I've no school now. And I just realized that my mum postponed subscribing to cable. That means I've to go to my aunt's house if I want to watch the Australian Open. And soccer matches also. Argh!
