Tiring but Interesting Day!

Actually, the tiring part refers to almost the entire day of running here and there, whereas the interesting came from the last part. It's always the case isn't it? When something ends of nicely, what you remember is the end, and not the less than nicer parts of the day.
Watched a theatre performance at the Esplanade, thanks to Jeremy. Have you ever thought of a 'play' without actors and actresses? It was just comics and comics! That guy can really draw fast! And it was pretty good too.. (Definitely better than any of my drawings anyway). And somehow, it felt like his drawing speed matched the tempo of the music too! Only that there was little talking, and even if there were, it wasn't in English. That meant I had to read and read the words on the screen! Thankfully, the words were minimal too. There's something else I don't really understand too. The Esplanade is a place for both locals and foreigners to watch artistic performances, correct? So why are the seats so narrow? I'm sure the foreigners would have even more trouble sitting comfortably!
At the end of the performance, there was also some tea reception too. I never thought one can add jam into tea! Well at least we were told that we could, as well as adding that piece of lemon. The taste wasn't that much different from what we are used to, so I wonder what difference did the jam make. Well, other than turning my tea a little red.
Still, whether the evening was interesting depends a lot on the company too, right? Jeremy was great company, though I wonder if I over bullied him. But, he was fun to be with and talk to, and you don't really remember that he's way younger. As I was walking towards Marina Square just now, I realised he's of the same age as YuanXing etc. That made me feel super old again. Then again, he really doesn't talk like a kid. In fact, he's more matured than even some people of my age, maybe me included!
As anyone can tell, I did enjoy myself, even though I was dead tired from rushing here and there throughout the day, and not having really sufficiently rested from tiring Friday. At least, it brightened up the otherwise relatively gloomy week and made the week seemed not THAT bad afterall =)
