but the show is incredibly funny haha yes the blog post title is from the male lead's dialogue. another choice line: "i'm tall, handsome and loaded. how can you resist me?"
the thing is, he's serious. he can't understand why the girl-- jandi-- doesn't fall helpless at his feet swooning. oh my gosh hahahaha.
oh GODS okay this is insane. haha but sometimes what's life without a bit of incredulity?
stolen with permission from my sister's blog. TOLD YOU I WAS FANGIRLING. eeeeks.
but okay at least i don't "dissolve into a rabid pile of fangirl goo" like SOMEONE i could mention every time mr goo joon pyo raises an eyebrow. tsk!

i think i am in love with this week. it's been an eventful one, but i've grown closer to my homegirls; made a few big-ish decisions; reaffirmed things i need to do; watched my sister grow a little (haha cos she has a job now!!) and watched the other sister mature a bit too (failing, and then passing, her japanese tests [yes the retake was only 2 days after the first attempt!]).
days go by, i'm hypnotised, i'm walking on a wire;
i close my eyes and fly out of my mind
into the fire
on tuesday i fully planned to stay awake till 8am and head out-- a time when enough light had descended so my parents wouldn't obsess about my getting murdered by some lurker in the shadows, and when it was still cool enough that it wouldn't be too far off from my usual erstwhile ungodly running hours. ha-- the best laid plans of mice and men oft gang agley (or however frost puts it); in between poking my sister up and waiting for her to get out of bed i fell asleep and ended up waking at 12ishpm instead. unwilling to give up on the idea of running again i went out anyway which was such an incredibly smart idea. yes, running at the 33-deg exact polar opposite of my pleasantly chilly midnight escapades into darkness, when i hadn't hit the roads for what must have been months. by the 3km mark i was more or less half-dead on my feet.
pathetic. but it was a start. i'm quite happy! because even though i have more or less given up on the idea of doing sundown (chances of waitlist applicants being admitted are more or less next to zero) krystal has enlisted tracy and me to do shape run, which for some inexplicable reason has been moved up to may this year. ha. third time lucky maybe i'll finally do a sub-1-hour :(
and! i'll be volunteering for sundown haha with creature j! it'll be quite fun doing random road-marshalling and handing out drinks. maybe i can spy my uncle and say hi. :D
creature j thanks for watching out for my sms on tuesday night haha. you were right-- i practically speed-walked to my car because i could have SWORN there had been this person behind me from the time i exited law school, but he VANISHED just before the crossing. and before that he had paused to level this very strange look at me. i was so freaked that the first thing i did when i reached the car and got in was to lock the doors. too many slasher flicks were parading their hyper-crimson bloodied scenes through my mind.
but driving home on tuesday night/wednesday morning was wonderful too, with the wind in my hair and the roads almost empty, darren hayes crooning everything from two beds and a coffee machine to to the moon and back on my stereo. some random suzuki tried to-- pace? race?-- me; haha xf!! doesn't this remind you of a certain kallang macs?? except that was a complete joke because of my "let's park in two lots" driving mentality EURGH.
wednesday on the way to blast my heel broke. total sign that i need new shoes, methinks. i did a mentos-ad and snapped the other side off after some finagling, but in the end didn't have time to change back into my regular clothes before running off for lcs tutorial at anson house (i was 15 mins late anyway but didn't miss much apparently). OH. that place is SO FREAKING COOL. seriously! the first two lines of my notes read:
"THEY CAN PRINT THEIR WHITEBOARDS
THEY WRITE ON GLASS PANELS IN PLACE OF WHITEBOARDS"
yeah haha they print their whiteboards. in colour! high-tech please. and apart from the whiteboard they also had these two decorative frosted glass panels flanking the lcd tv in the meeting room and halfway through the lesson one of the tutors just got up and started writing on the glass. i mean, like, whoa. i totally expected him to start writing on the tv next.
blast class was extremely fun. the "my adidas" choreo is coooool :D but i couldn't catch a few steps for junior class and i've forgotten random bits of senior class choreo. BLEH. :(

You fill up my senses

like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses,
come fill me again
heard vienna teng's cover of this denver classic on the bus today and grinned my head silly the rest of the ride. her voice is so deliciously divine :):)
my sister has informed me that jj shops at the place where she works. AHHHHH.
short-takes
the diva is GONE. :( no more dog-sitting for a while. i'm feeling kind of sad because i didn't really get to say goodbye although she did try to lick the polish off my nails this morning. bleh. at least now dalphie can have a good night's rest in his rightful basket without the little tempest stealing it out from under him.
and oh my god PLEASE people stop giving my family chocolates. my fridge is now filled with four family-sized bars of cadbury's, one pack of palmer's peanut butter chocs, two (used to be three) boxes of chocolate-covered macadamias, one box of brandy-filled pralines and assorted toblerones. PLEASE. STOP. my uncle-- diva's owner-- just dropped off those two boxes of choc macadamias and two big bags of almonds and macadamias as well. AHHH. oh wells at least that means i can start mixing up my rabbit food to carry around again.
read alice sebold's the lovely bones, which is-- okay. not half a patch on janet fitch, but oh well. and i finally found the full text of barbara l greenberg's the faithful wife (which i will post separately)! now i just have to order carol ann duffy's anthology.
night out with ning was damn fun. although she mostly spent her time daytonaing with my phone. not good eh babe daytona is not a substitute for driving lessons ok.
we are both currently lusting after separate bags from a shop in cathay :(
AND. for a certain little miss sexy (i hope you remember who you are!) here's a picture
i think, therefore i am singledon't worry about breaking hearts, love. you're the one who matters, and i hope things work out. we're all here for you k if you need to talk.
DON'T STAY UP TILL 4AM worrying again. haha. that's always been my role, not yours :):)
thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run
