Mapped out II

It's always fun to reminisce with a group of friends with whom you share common memories. I never realised how different our perceptions of our past were; the things that some of us remember, others have complete no recollection of. And that's the greatest part of it -- to (re)arrange, and add to, this scrapbook of memories, even though years have passed and it was supposed to be gathering dust.

We spoke fondly about friends who're overseas, and talked about the crazy times we had in JC. One incident that stuck out in my friends' minds -- that they "will remember for the rest of [their] lives" -- was when someone lamented: "Ow, my stomach feels funny."

To which I apparently asked, deadpanned: "Then why aren't you laughing?"

(I seriously think that they made this up, but they were unanimously adamant about its authenticity.)

I also found out today that the cousin of one of my aforementioned friends -- whom I've known for five years now -- is an ex-tutor of mine! Old memories and new discoveries -- overall, a pretty good evening.

To cap it all off, I traversed the country from Clementi to Aljunied to Punggol to Bukit Timah, without making a single wrong turn! Thanks in part to help online and off; the fact that my dear friend, H, was beside me most of the way -- with the street directory on her lap -- giving directions, does not in any way detract from the meritorious achievement.
