@ 1:56 AM
Went down to SAF Holiday Chalet to celebrate Coach Jun Ming's girlfriend's birthday.
Made my way down from my house to Kallang by taking 985. Yeah, I know some people might think I am crazy to sit until my butt pain. But with bus concession, I don't mind spending more time on the bus with free rides. Once reached, went to take MRT to Tampines MRT station. And from there, once again I took bus, this time is 29, the only bus that reaches the chalets at Changi Village. Had quite a long ride too, about half an hour or so. Upon reaching the chalet, I was like a total stranger there, only Coach Jun Ming or his girlfriend's friends were there, while the people who I know went with Jun Ming to buy some stuff. So I sit around at the back watching the Olympics Synchronised Swimming event. The Russians are really good at Synchronise Swimming, their score was nearly perfect 10 from each of the panel of judges. A little while longer, played poker cards with the people there.
Finally they are back. So the party kinda started. There was quite a spread of food, ranging from bee hoon to fried chicken to sushi and also pizza. Played mahjong as well. More and more people came. I didn't realised that most of the people Jun Ming invited was in Wushu as well. The cake cutting started around 9pm+ close to 10pm. After that, sat around until 11pm+ where Edison and I took the bus from Aloha Changi back to Tampines interchange. By the time we reached there, the last train to the west side had ended service. We decided to try our luck by taking bus 28 which goes to Toa Payoh. The ride was long, about 40 mins before we reached Braddell Road and we alighted. Managed to flag a cab to get back home. The final fare was $16.20, which I think is not too expensive from Toa Payoh to my house, considering the midnight charge. Through this trip back home, it actually helps me in planning my route from place to place by bus which is my cheapest mode of travel.
