Under the sea

[17 October]

Today's a beautiful day!! 

Started off the morning by going to a wake of one of the investigators at 0930hrs. Spent a good half an hour plus with her, Edlina and Aiwen. We talked, tried to cheer her up, but it was obvious that she was exhausted. You could tell by her sunken eyes and tired face. No matter how she smiled, you could see that there was something else. It was sad. But there is comfort in death. 

We left her and her family to go to the ward YSA activity at hyrum's house to learn how to make Tao Huey and Tao Huey Jui until 1200hrs. Pretty cool. Spent then rest of the morning doing that. Waited around for a bit then went to meet the missionaries for our weekly meeting. Last week was general conference rebroadcast so we had to spend more time to catch up on last week's stuff all the way till 1340hrs. 

Once that was done, Abish, Cinilla and I headed to Yishun mrt to pick up Bea. We all left together and headed to Bayfront mrt. It was there that we met Daniel and after some time, Aiwen too. We then headed off to the Art Science Museum (ASM). I initiated the invitation to visit the exhibition going on there, which was called "The Deep". Namely because it exhibits deep sea creatures from 600m down to the depth of 3000m. I have a few pictures but you can see my Instagram for that. Quite lazy to choose the others that I didn't post up too :/

We were supposed to go with Wong Ming and Trish too but they had errands to run first, so we decided to start without them. We met up with them afterwards anyway so no issues. We spent a good hour and a half in there, from 1530 all the way till 1700hrs. Really cool. Quite a spot for couples to date at. Nice and affordable too. It got a bit chilly but no worries if you have someone to hug or hold hands with. Me? I brought my trusty hoodie that Jaina bought for me in Korea hahaha. And I held my own hands. How cool ay? 😏😏

We makan-ed after that at marina square's version of Kopitiam. Just me, Daniel, Bea and Cinilla. Ended up we all bought the same thing. But sedap sia. 

After that we were gonna go back already, then while walking through city link, someone called out for Bea. I thought it was one of her colleagues or classmates, but then there we saw Ming and Trish. Jang Jang Jang. So we waited for them to finish their food while we chilled at a fancy bookstore with a wooden-concept. I like. 

After that, we all went back together by train but stopping by at a shoe shop that Daniel bought his Sunday shoes. I tried on a few recommendations from Ming and Daniel "just to see". I'm glad it was "just to see" rather than "see to buy" because the price of the shoe isn't what I would pay for this near a shoe that would be too precious and nice to wear to a Mission. In the end, we headed to the train and bounced back, except for Cinilla. I sat with Bea and Daniel, with Ming and Trish opposite us. I tried to sleep (I was so tired) and so I plugged in. Bea (who was sitting beside me) offered me her shoulder. HOW TO DECLINE RIGHT. So I slept while leaning on her shoulder. Freaking comfy. I slept like a baby all the way till Khatib, waking up twice because she pushed my head back. If not, it would probably have dropped and rolled onto the floor. 

They all left at their station, and so it was me and Daniel back home. We alighted at our own stations. By the time I reached home, it was about 2000hrs already. One whole day like that just gone. But I love it. Every second spent was well lived. 

Today's a beautiful day ☺️☺️
