ALINA BARAZ - MY WHOLE LIFE
22 June 2022Long awaited update. So there was another Onyx dinner gathering at Mitsuba :D I sat at the drinking table, as usual, with weelee, ervinna, yanxiang, vera, linder, arinda and hamizan. We had our usual jap buffet spread with free flow asahi beer, as well as some hot/cold sake ¬ᴗ¬ Linder, arinda, hamizan and I was mostly talking about woes and problems faced at work (which probably led to more drinking). Weiqi was seated at the non-drinking table, together with desmond, yuhao, skye and others.
So after dinner, weiqi came to offer me a ride home with a group of the non-drinking buddies and I chose to stay til the end of dinner (which i now regret due to my own actions afterwards). Upon leaving Mitsuba, I expected that we'd all be heading home, however... they suggested going for a second round at one of the pubs around clarke quay. I was at the back of the line, and it was quite a sight, watching my gym buddies high as can be oᴗo We ended up at Cuba Libre Café & Bar for some beer tower. Arinda started vibing to the music and us girls starting dancing lots. (>ᴗ<)
Also remembered the live band playing It's My Life, and everyone in the pub started singing out loud together. There were moments where we rushed from our table, towards the stage where the crowd was jumping to the live band's music. After sometime, I remembered heading back to our table, and I was standing beside hamizan drinking my beer. And I blacked out. I don't remember what transpired after. My memory returned when I was in the lift to my house, and I was surrounded by hamizan, vera and yanxiang. LOL.
So the next morning, I woke up fine with hardly any hangover, and left home to collect my mobile phone from vera's place before heading to half day of work. Immediately, I texted everyone to thank them for taking care of me, as well as tried to fish for more details, of the time when I had blank memories of. Of course, they were all nice about it, and said nothing much happened... O_O which til today, I'm still curious as to the events that followed.
I've heard different stories here and there, like of how arinda went missing and ended up home by herself, and weelee said that hamizan carried me around the clarke quay area to hail a cab (of which I'm very grateful for). It was my first black out... hopefully last oᴗo"

My dad decided to buy a puppy, golden retriever which he named him Oliver, born 03 January 2022. And we were supportive of it, as we were hoping that being a pet dad would help him pass time, and have less negative thoughts/feelings. We were very lucky as Oliver, second brother to his four siblings, is such a gentle and obedient boy. However, as our home isn't ready, Oliver was temporarily placed at my second sister's home, where he is constantly adored by my three nephews ᵕᴗᵕ
Speaking of our new home, I can't wait for it to be ready! Initially, I was afraid that the floor tiles I chose for my room was too different from the other rooms, but recently when I visted the new house, the tiles tied in perfectly with my room's wall paint and mini balcony (giving it a dreamy vibe) -ᴗ- Can't wait to unpack stuffs into the new space!

Tried some mexican food with weiqi at Piedra Negra, which we thought were meh~ Except for the guacamole and totrtillas :) Updated her that I was still going for the bangkok trip (with other onyxsters) despite her not going :| (was hoping she could join) My mom urged me to take the short trip as I haven't travelled since the start of 2020. We then headed to Chocolate Origin at bugis, for weiqi's favourite, dark chocolate ice cream ᵕᴥᵕ

Haha throughout MT training today, they had the latin songs playing, playlist from that faithful night. Had to keep my cool xD But it was fun though, to have upbeat songs playing, and fighting to the rhythm

Met up with xinyun and chewen for a korean movie, Broker. We met at Vivo City, and had Hoshino Coffee for dinner (to avoid the long queues elsewhere). It was quite the emotional film, which depicts how bonds could form, even between strangers. The cinematography was pretty during certain scenes.

Over the last few months, been spending lots of my weekends with family, whether for shopping for the new home, or to spend more time with my dad so that he'll not fall back into a depressed state. So finally in a long while, I met up with my cousins in the evening for some basketball and dinner. But I headed home right after (usually I'd go over to their house for games or chats)
04 July 2022
So my family headed out for some Vietnamese food, and I ate lots of beef. Which I think, resulted in the inflammation of my right wrist (there may have been some internal injury from basketball :B) The first thing I dreaded was not being able to attend MT for the whole week, who knows if it'll extend to two weeks... :(

Headed over to my cousins' place in the night time, and all their girlfriends were there as well. So we played nintendo switch, poker, and a drawing game https://garticphone.com/en/ which was super hilarious! We were laughing 80% of the time, at each other's drawings and guesses. Shawn then sent the rest of us home, kunjie, evangeline, verriona and I squeezed at the back of a blue sg, while dickson and shawn sat at the front.
