today is a peanut-butter-and-wholemeal-bread kind of day; provincial to use food to describe emotions about a day, but there you have it. it is-- was (this is why i dislike starting an entry in the middle of the day-- i type this now at night and i cannot figure out which tense to use. argh. grammar nazi)-- a comfort sort of a day; a day which in a bronte /austen novel would translate into curling up before a cheerful fire in the midst of winter, toes nestling into the fabric of the cushion, legs folded under, book in hand. instead we have (had?) the plausibly-cosy-but-in-commercial-reality-not-so confines of the slr room and the dubious pleasures of lcs in which to lose ourselves. but for once my penguin suit actually fit comfortably instead of being stifling. whee.
sunrise was absolutely breathtaking-- impossible cloud-cover that drifted in the wind like a coquette's veils. wake up, sky, hide not your face, you do not deceive me. i know you want to shine.
i have pictures, but will not load them now since i am supposed to be doing work. bleh.
teri called me in the morning to tell us that she'd crashed her car on her way to school. i could totally emphasise with how shaken she sounded, man. hurhur. except that her crash was apparently a lot worse than mine, because she hit a bmw instead of a hatchback, and the other party was in no way as decent as my unfortunately-close-encounteree-- the bmw driver harangued her for not stopping at a yellow box to let her pass (what? huh???).
in any case we did have time to do our negotiations and stuff, and even made it to ge on time despite a deranged cabbie who needs to reinstall his gps or grind it into bonemeal and fertilise his crops. i have to admit that negotiations were surprisingly fun-- i was freaking terrified because i felt so unprepared, but our 45mins passed really quickly despite a snafu i plunged into without thinking it through properly and from which nette rescued me with deft alacrity. thank goodness-- i was floundering.
and SERIOUSLY i did not mean to be aggressive, and i really thought we should have come down harder on them. ok la i was damn obviously biased/pissed from the start, because HI DON'T JUDGE ME (or my group) FROM FIRST IMPRESSIONS. just because we were nice and friendly does not mean we are PUSHOVERS. the CHAUVINISM pouring off a certain someone in
but at least it's finally ended. plus i did not burst into song during the negotiations which i think teri and nette had truly been worried i would do haha although i did start spouting random chinese. OVERRR. FINITO. ZEE END. well, sort of-- we have one final draft of the contract due on friday, which is also collect-public-law-assignment-doomsday. *glooooom*
dinner at cinnabun and subway, supplemented with edo's wakame inari. finally something from edo that tastes decent. jin gave me a lift home, and i have to pride myself on managing to sneak a hazelnut dark chocolate muffin into her backseat literally right under her nose before i got off. :D haha i walked damn fast after that because i was afraid she'd leap out of her car and forcibly return the muffin. muffins are happy food and good people deserve happy food!
feeling mildly grumpy because 2 presents i randomly ordered just arrived in the mail today and look nothing like what was promised on the website. in fact, one of them is, frankly speaking, bordering on hideous instead of classy. :(:( how to give as presentsssssss.
on the other hand it is incredibly gratifying to shop for presents for people we love and cherish. i shall not look upon birthday-present-shopping as a chore anymore. gave michelle her tinkerbell tote on monday at winnie's class and i hope she really does like it! :):) haha i'm on this random present-giving spree (it's the exams, so obviously i'm spending about three million hours online shopping instead of reading equity or pub law) AND i have come to the conclusion that money makes no one happy, it's the spending that does it, so you might as well spend on someone/thing meaningful instd of the same old endless accessories and apparel. not that i don't, still *glances guiltily at wardrobe* AND before you think that is a sophie kinsella-ish sentiment, i'll have you know that epiphany descended on me while i was reading an equity case.
now if i could only remember which one it was. maybe i dreamt it, i don't know. don't think i'm sleeping enough to dream.
