Ben
Oh mid-term break..Long days of lazing around and puzzlement over dinner plans for nearly a whole week..
What would this bring forth? Well, something amusing, of course.
Strolling out of Ginza Mall, happily licking at our ice-cream cones and exchanging the most crappiest views we could ever think of, we couldn't help but notice a wagging tail. Tagging along was a handsome fella, brown-coated and with a long waggy tail. Hmm..we looked around, waiting for the owner to appear yet there was no one.
Unperturbed, we continued our walk, concentrating on the ice-cream. However, Ben was still following us. Everytime we paused and look at him, he would response with a waggy tail and well,a friendly look. Adorably cute.
A few moments later, we peeped behind us. Ben was still happily trotting along with us! Oh no, this time we thought it must be our ice-creams. He's after that. There's no other reason. He didn't look like a stray as he had a collar on him. We didn't want to give him our ice-creams for fear he would follow us back to hall.
In an attempt to lose Ben, we made a dash to hide behind the trunk of a tree while he had walked off in front of us. Unfortunately i was a bit slow and the short little doggie saw me just when i was running off. Silently, behind the tree, we hoped that he didn't notice us. Sad to say, our wish did not come true. He was peeping at us, with a confused look. We gave up at that point, wondering what will happen to him if he really followed us back to hall.
Sensing our next chance a few moments later, again we dashed to the nearest tree. This time around he didn't pay attention to us anymore. He just scrambled on. After awhile, we emerged from our hiding place, dog-free. Phew~!
This is the story of our encounter with Ben. He found his way home after all.

A series of celebrations
Life among friends is pretty cool. Thought i'll keep a record of the birthdays we've celebrated in the past few months. You know. Just in case. For reference purposes.
1) EV's birthday. It was a nice surprise, with a record number of celebratees. Everyone had gathered near the divider cum balcony area near her room. I came out with a lame excuse and dragged her out of her room. The moment we passed by the "area", everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" and from the gang, emerged the victim's cake.
2) LCJ's birthday. It was a teensy celebration. Plain and simple. An act of sincere desperation. Muffins and candles. What a unique combo. It's the thought that counts.
3) RC's birthday. Everyone hid in her room with water and flour on standby. Dunno how they got the key but they did! And right on time, she, back from an outing, appeared at her door. Before she knew it, she was doused in flour and water, with yells of "Happy Birthday!" and also a special birthday present which is (or more like who is) so-so dressed up as a killer babe! Hoot hoot!
4) HCC's birthday. We snuck to his room. Like trained troops, we flagged and communicated with each other via hand signals and also SMS. Alpha team's position was under his window. Beta team's position was the corridor. He was talking non-stop on the phone. 10 minutes later, he was still talking non-stop. It had to be fire at will in the end. Alpha team sprang up and started hollering the birthday song. HCC was caught off-guard with a horrified cum surprised expression. Simultaneously, Beta team moved in on target with cake. Bull's eye.
