One.

One day left. Sounds as though I'm dying. But yeah, when it gets so close, the realisation of what you're about to lose suddenly hits you. The freedom granted will be reduced to the bare minimum. But it doesn't matter, cause I'll still have to face it.

Anyway, had an activity-filled week. Was waking up at 7 plus and sleeping at past midnight everyday. And by today, the both of us were just so exhausted from all the travelling and walking. And promptly fell sound asleep on the buses we took. And I'm just back from another day out. You could say it ended with a bang and really got the adrenaline pumping.

Baby was sleeping on the bus, and I was too. Sort of woke her up just before we arrived at the busstop. And she dropped her phone and only found out after we alighted, and the bus left. And if you were in our shoes, you will just be overwhelmed by how everything fell in place to enable Baby to get her phone back. I think as we travelled back, we were still both trying to fathom how everything could have happened so nicely, so perfectly.

Both the taxi driver and the bus driver were Godsend. They assisted us to the best of their ability. And as I'm typing this, I really wished we could better acknowledge their assistance. Speeding after the bus, and coming over to try to check the bag of the girl who had taken the phone. It was exciting, and pretty amazing at the same time. How everything just fell in place. Anyway, its over. The most important thing was to find the handphone, and that we did.

Went to eat at New York New York with the guys, sort of a farewell dinner? Haha. The food was average at best, it didn't help that we had fishball noodle only 4 hours before dinner. Went over to Ben and Jerry's afterward. I still think the prices are exorbitant. But yeah. Had barbeque and stayover at Jay's place last night. Fishing yesterday and today. Shopping on Monday, movie yesterday. I'm tired, definitely, yet so satisfied.

Brought Baby to fish over at Bedok jetty. And the first day was amazing. I caught a couple of different species of fishes. Almost got a decent-sized barracuda until it fell off the hook as I lifted it over the railings of the jetty. What a waste. On her first time fishing, Baby caught a stone fish! And a large one. We got a picture of it, which I will post up when I received. And you just need to compare its size to that of the sinker beside it. It was huge. After fishing for years, I have never caught a fish that huge. Not when I was on a yacht, nor when I was on a kelong. And when she was reeling it in, I thought she had caught a pretty massive groupa. That was fun, although Baby seemed more digusted than happy with her unexpected catch.

I'm so tired, I guess I'll be turning in soon. Its my last day of freedom for 2 years to come, and I'' cherish it.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.
