actually, what a two weeks.
actually, make that three.
hahahah :P that's how much i haven't updated!!! oh mi gosh.
therefore, in order to allow myself the quiet little thrill of satisfaction that comes whenever i tick things off my to-do list (no, i'm totally kidding, it's just that it irritates me no end when i flip back and see these stupid things i haven't ticked off like "BLOG!!!" hahah), i'm going to do one of those sum-up-thingies.
THREE WEEKS BACK:
- friday, 11th january: watched eastern promises, which was a HORRIBLE show. it had none of the emotion that your name is justine did, and frankly the stroyline was passable but the raw violence and sheer-- well. viscerality of everything just knocked me over backwards. argh. the scene where the poor young guy "touched by the angels" was sliced a new smile in the region of his throat; the stark, unapologetic and utterly unwavering intrusion into the perfunctory rape scene-- although when he saved her i thought it was an unusually deft touch; the fight scenes-- ah. everything. anything. but the storyline was good. i guess i just wasn't used to the unflinching depiction of everything. no glossing over for this film, no.
campfire! haha. it's strange. i didn't really feel like i actually could stand going back after hc days were over-- i mean, no secret that i wasn't exactly the biggest fan of hc right. but ye gods it was good to be back. shuhui and i helped an old man to his wife's car haha. they were such a cute couple. and we got mrs ang and started screaming around together. and we danced and sang and laughed and it was actually FUN. strange how we maybe appreciate things only after they're gone. sort of.
supper at kap macs.
TWO WEEKS AGO
17th january, thursday blackjack night. damn fun. and i still think ning's makeup looked good. hehe. i got a LOT of weird stares when i finally walked out of school after changing and shoving all my things into my mailbox, but oh wellll.
18th january, friday i can't even remember if i've blogged about this yet, but basically it was the suspicious day when xf and i were feeling the same things and we found out after i went online and told her i was on the verge of calling her haha. after that we met up and feasted (i insisted, cos i was hungry) and played arcade games (FUN!!! haha daytona rocks. and house of the dead. but we kept dying whooops) and went to run.
i think night runs are fantastic.
there's something about the all-enveloping velvety darkness that you nestle into as you run, the tattoo your running-shoed-feet drum on the tarmac, the freedom of feeling free to run, the easy in-out of your breath. and knowing there's another heart's beat right next to you takes some of the lonesomeness out of the run that is inevitable, but all the more poignant at night because it grows so much keener.
that is, until you stupidly say too softly, "watch out" and she goes "hmm?" and trips. AHHHHHHH.
i think it totally looked like i pushed xf over, to the people coming behind. they stopped their car and asked if we were alright and offered handyplasts. we should have asked for tissue, because she was all scraped up on one elbow and had blood pooling on her thigh (ok, beading. not poolin). eeeeps. and she still wanted to run somemore after that!!! oh wells. since it was something like 2km from my house we walked a bit while she tried to see if her ankle would hold up and then did a cooldown back home.
after that we were more or less too tired to talk much and went to sleep. no supper. haha. we did conclude however that we were regressing to our childhood because the fall was so reminiscent of secondary school. and the games! haha arcade haha DAYTONA :P
OMG i can hear what my parents are watching and i think it's my stupid baby competition video. OMG. they actually dug that up. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i hate spring cleaning!!!!
saturday 19th jan blassssst class. haha. the little kids were so cute and i really couldn't get over the choreography of the witch doctor song. i told the witch doctor i was in love with euuuuu! haha! but... it was cool. i just never realised that a common adoration for dance could bind us all so-- neatly, never mind the racial boundaries, never mind the health issues, never mind that i'm a reticent non-speaker.
after that i went off to do my hair. bleh. it was meant to be purple. oh well.
sunday 20th jan cycled in the morning with the easties. didn't go far enough. but for once i was actually exercising! forgot that something called the brake existed midway through my cycle and ended up practically crashing into a tree. i've got a minor abrasion on my right calf to bear testament to the bike wheel's intimate encounter with my skin. tsk.
ning's house after. lurked around a lot, talked, got stunned by "i bust doom high" (drunk-sms-speak for i just damn high, which we figured out after a few hours). ordered pizza-- poor substitute for SPIZZA, but WELL someone had to get stinking drunk and hung over. hahahha. gooood to meet up, though. and to learn that dbl o is forever never going to be a creature outing location HAHA.
alright. that's all for now. i'll continue later-- dinnner! off and out and away we go~
summer sunshine for a season
