Escape from VP

One day I sauntered to school after the first bell as I didn’t have any lessons in the morning. As I casually rounded a corner, I heard a voice behind me, “Boy! Come here!” That voice was instantly recognisable because the school VP had a slight nasal twang. Not wanting to get into trouble, I quickened my pace and took off on a run when I got around another corner.

That was a close one…

Console Games at the ‘hood

Back then before arcades starting sprouting up all over Singapore (and are now nearly going extinct), me and my friends used to patronise this games shop near our homes where they rented out games consoles by the hour and we had our pick of games!

Quite a bit of time was spent at the shop, but it was a cheap way to play multiple games without spending a wad of cash!

Buying the engagement ring

This happened about 6 years back when I took leave from work so I could go to Tiffany’s to get the engagement ring for Esh. Luckily I knew what design she liked so it was much easier. The main task was to get the correct ring size.

As I had to meet her later in the day, I had to hide the ring somewhere. As it turned out, I bought a shaver later so I thought it would be a good idea to hide it inside since I presumed she wouldn’t bother to take a look.

Later during dinner, for some reason, she wanted to take a look at the shaver that I bought. I had to make some lame excuse and I suppose she suspected that something was up but luckily she couldn’t guess exactly what!
