haiz. but when you have expectations you might be disappointed. bleh. waiting waiting ahh seven more days till the beloved creature returns. which one's the nickname again-- not dusty, not busty-- horny! hahaha.
alright tt just made no sense whatsoe'er. forgive me, 'tis an unhealthy witching hour of 2 hours past the midnight's toll.
chu's flying off on 18th. law camp's starting.
it's been a while hasn't it. i've been having fun but time's just FLYING and i haven't even had time to do half the things i wrote down on my list. oh well. but one of them's cooking and i'm gg to do tt tmr-- my sis came up with the idea of doing a jap meal for father's day so we went out shopping for ingredients today which was unexpectedly fun although we were both tired and cranky and rather broke-- a condition which we exacerbated rather painfully after buying all the ingredients and his present-- puma shoes which i suspect he'll never wear anyway. bleh.
took the 48 to school for the law camp meeting and waited for nette before we bounced up the hill and frankly we were a teeeensy bit late for the meeting haha. random impressions-- teri looks awesome, denise has a wonderful laugh, mag was unintentionally making wonderfully doubled double entendres, shuying's v earnest, xunny is damn funny, derek's friendly (and that is how his name is spelt! not derick as i thought), paul is a master of from-the-floor-comments etc etc etc. random. as you can tell i'm not really into making deep dark philoshophical observations, not at a law camp meeting. haha. but it was painfully obvious how we all already readily grouped into our little cliques, and even the ogs and etc all showed the same sort of agglomeration. (wow look i used a long word.) bleh. i guess nette's comment later proved to be rather prophetic in an epimetheus-esque, perfect-hindsight manner (or maybe it's just perenially true): we're all already in our little groups, and-- aiyah the context was weird lah. it was abt who we'd end up marrying or whatever.
and really we only started talking abt that as we sat on the balcony ledge at the lower quad and i dangled my heels above the "MY PEBBLES ARE WET!" pebbles because of-- well, i guess the slr dinner the night before. which was really a whole lot more fun than i;d expected it to be i'd pictured some sort of staid formal dinner where everyone weighed forth on various issues of legal gravitas and discussed the forthcoming routes of the newsletter and the club etc, whereupon i would more or less be UTTERLY left out and rather miserable. oh no no no. in fact, to imitate the horrifyingly-and-disturbingly-beginning-to-look-rather-attractive-ikuta-toma, "NON NON NON NON NON". hahaha (go watch hana kimi you won't understand what the heck i'm gg on abt unless you do hohoho). the whole night was filled with good food, lots of laughter, way too much decimation (of yours truly, in wit and conversation both) and of course heady sexploits. mwahahaha. good gods.
to think i nearly didn't go.
but i did give the gems thing a miss tho since we finished at 10.30 in paragon and i figured since my parents were coming home that night i ought to get home earlier. had a rather insightful chat with samson on the train home and i guess it sort of made me think again about what one of my colleagues said on- what, my second or third day of work. basically one of them said she was gg to meet her bf for dinner or lunch or smth and she left and the other one-- fifi-- started talking abt her bf too, which led on to her exes, and then she asked me abt my bf. i shook my head and smiled. she asked if i'd ever been attached. i said no; her response was "really! not lonely??"
haha you know that innocuous question actually made me a bit despondent for a bit and i was wondering if i OUGHT to be feeling like some really despairing empty shell instead of NOT feeling at all. but-- haha. talking with samson i was reminded of all that again, i realised i didn't really care. i guess hanging around with some other half would be nice and all, but knowing me i don't think i'd ever be able to either let go that much or trust that much or want to give up that big a part of my life to someone. hoho. yes, my eternal selfishness (but in a way also maybe my perennial protection? haha pessimistic much). i want my time to be my own, and anyway my heart's kind of already taken.
if dance is life and strength and breath
and the want of dance is death
yeah i kinda paraphrased blake in that line. hehe. dance on wed was REALLY good for once i actualy managed to catch some of the steps and omg omg omg the magic of that moment. what am i doing online omg i should go sleep so i can wake earlier and hopefully have some time to practise when i'm not bloody reading my eyeballs out.
getting my atm card fixed and done and all was probably a bad idea because now i'm effectively online shopping a lot and withdrawing a lot and spending like there's no tmr. haha. pageone called to tell me that 2 of my four requested books are now available and i'm gg to blow another 50 bucks in addition to the 100 that i already spent 2 wks ago there. i just transferred the hundred dollars for my spree, and of course spent over 300 booking my driving lessons and test. ARGH. MONEY.
on another note i have a new phone. wheeee.
