Selamat Hari Raya. Well, here I am again. Nothing much happened for the past week. Matt was doing closing and I was busy working. Let me do a recap again���

Working Friday
Stayed in office till 11 pm on Friday. Was doing the robot arm testing with chris. Initially I thought that the testing would at most take 1 ��� 2 hrs. But I was damn damn wrong!! Halfway through the test, the 1st arm was stuck. Hence, we had to disassemble the arm and remove the motor. Found that the arm was stuck because the one of the gears wan not in line, and hence caused a friction against the arm wall. So by the time we finished everything, it was already near 11. And I was dead tired and damn hungry. But I thought to myself: its ok to work a little later on Friday than to have to come back to work on sat. Cause matt was not working on sat and I wanted to meet him early so that we can spend the whole day together. But who knows, before we left, Johnny told us that the drawing for the mount is ready and chris said I had to confirm the dimensions with china by tomorrow so that means I still have to go back to work on sat after all. Sianz!! Luckily Johnny send me back so I do not have to spend any money on cab. When I reached my place, I was walking to the lifts and I spotted a familiar red bike. It was my dear dears bike. So I scanned around the vicinity for him and saw a dark figure sitting on the bench behind my block. He was keeping very still, trying not too attract any attention. But it was too late. I saw him already. Haha. Matt actually came after he knocked to wait for me to knock off after work. I was so happy to see him. A great surprise. After a hard day of work, it feels so good to see that your loved one has made an effort to come all the way to see you. We went home together. Matt kept me company for awhile before making his way back home.

Feels so good to be together
Went to work on sat. Initially I plan to go there early so that I can leave early and go meet matt early. But I was tooo tired. In the end I reached office at 10.30 and ended my work at around 1 and I rushed off to meet matt. We spend some quiet time together at his house before going off to town to jalan jalan. There were lots of sale going on and I had fun trying on the party dresses. After orchard, we went to tampines to catch a movie. We watched Ong Bak. Surprisingly, it was quite entertaining. The stunts were good. Even better than chen long. I was really impressed. And it was quite funny as well. Hmmm, although its just a simple day together, but we were really happy. I think its because we have not met each other for such a long time.

Its sea spots time!!
Matt came to my place at 3+ on Sunday. We quickly got ready and went to east coast. We have decided on sat night that we will go canoeing today. By the time we reached east coast, it was 4. We booked 2 canoes for 1 hr and off we went to the sea. The weather was good. It was very windy and cloudy. This is the 1st time matt and I went coanoeing together. And by the time we were back on the shore, I was dead beat. My arms were aching. We washed up and had some snacks and beer at the beach bar where we rented the canoe. The place was really relaxing because it was jus behind the shore. This means that we can enjoy the sea and have beer at the same time. After the snacks, I suggested that we walked to mac donalds to haevb dinner. And it was such a long walk. We place where we rent our canoe is around the hawker centre. And we actually walked all the way to mac!! Halfway through the journey, it started to rain and we took refuge at long beach sae food. So we ended up having dinner at zen do, the jap restaurant. The food there was good, and not too costly. But the soft shell crab was not up to the mark. After dinner, we decided to continue our journey to east coast mac. East coast mac really changed a lot. The whole place was done up very nicely. There was a mac caf茅 there as well. We settled down at mac, while waiting for power and Alvin to come. They arrived at 9+. We chatted awhile before we switch venue to alvin place and we played uno stacko. Hmmm, uno stacko is really a challenging game, especially when you play wif nana people like matt and Alvin. They always like to challenge the impossible so that when it comes to your turn, you are left with mission more impossible. Haha. We had a good time playing stacko before we called it a day and headed home. By the time I reached home, I was dead beat. And matt and I have decided that we should do sea spots more often since its healthy and we both enjoyed sea spots. a really enjoyable weekend for me. Would be better if I can minus the work.
