things so far

the past few days have been superficially nice and life-filled, with me doing all the right things but thinking about all the wrong ones, and in the spirit of keeping things happy let's talk about all the life-filling things.

this holiday season has been bountiful in terms of wallets, for i have received no less than 4 wallets from xmas to the new year, with dad giving me a bonia wallet to replace my old, tatteredly friendly and reliable US Duck Association wallet (which, incidentally is an extremely good conversation starter and ice breaker just like my two ninety shoes (that's two dollars and nighty cents), which makes it nicely useful when i have nothing else to say), my cousin (it is strange to think of her as 'cousin' since her second daughter is my age, but she is definitely too funky and cool to fit in with, sorry, my dad's generation) giving me another wallet which at present is in enqing's bag, along with the xmas card enqing gave to me, and two from bridget, both red, one the shiny one which she left at my house after the class xmas thing (which was love, the party not the wallet) and with which (the wallet) i had alot of fun kicking around in a vengeful manner (no lah never okay) and another which was from ripcurl which i think should be obscenely expensive which is my xmas present and that is vv nice but has no coin compartment but i am still going to use it, this sentence is extremely long. many wallets = alot of money in 2007 mayhaps? i should start with collecting debts, hint hint.

on new year's eve, eq, ivan, junyuan and i went to aforementioned cousin's house for dinner, which was very, very good and sustaining as ivan and eq can testify, since ivan seems to have outshone tan long in the gorging front that day, and also cause my mom who keeps calling ivan samuel for some strange and sinister reason, keeps placing barrels of food in front of aforesaid samuel-ivan conglomerate, etc. speaking of mother, she is re-learning chinese, after having conquered (read: getting bored of reading) the webster's english dictionary, so she is reading primary one and two work- and textbooks and learning hanyu pinyin. this is remarkable, since the same woman also built two shelves from a random mass of metal bars we found near the rubbish dump. but moving on,

having read about cathay and cineleisure having combined parties since they are both under the cathay-cineleisure group, we took a cab to cathay and found that there was nothing happening there except free pink cotton candy but the queue was tmd long, so we walked towards PS to find teck heng, which, disappointingly, did not surprise me one bit with his shaven head, mayhaps cause i've seen shaven teck head in sec one-two, ohh disastrous and unglamorous days, and then the five of us walked towards (no, actually me and teck heng walked, the rest snailed, the arts-science divide thing is mind boggling to me) cineleisure which was sure to be more happening, and when we got there there was a small stage with people pretending to be dancers pretending to be dancing and so we ignored them and went to look for activities to occupy us till twelve, and since all the pool tables were booked and it was stupid to pay 15 dollars and kbox for one hour, and with my cajoling we went to the arcade and played air hockey where eq and i dominated junyuan and samuel 8-7 and then we played house of horror which is vv jing cai but jiat lui (eat money) and i think i must have cursed more than my yearly allowance, but the fake zombies and especially the maneating slugs were v scary okay and woah one hit takes down one life and we had vv little life in the meter. at twelve we left the arcade to go downstairs to countdown with all the ah bengs and smokers, so that we wouldn't go down in history having counted down sadly, in a shopping mall, but amongst a throng of smoking people happeningly jumping and singing auld lang syne, and it was tmd anticlimax so we went up to play pool after counting down, and oh yeah tl and chow joined us and later dezhi.

pool has, stragely, been elevated from a nope to a mmm okay activity, although i still suck at it, i dislike activities which i suck at, which is why i love participating in looking-good competitions, but i think i am getting the hang of pooling. you just hit the ball with the stick (not now, victor) until it rolls into the hole (enough, victor) and you cannot hit the black number nine ball into the hole, and you can shout 'foul ball' anytime you like, which is kind of liberating. for fifteen minutes i contemplated going to st james powerstation there the club with teck heng and ying sze from one a, but then pool was getting funner so i said noo, which was stupid cause it meant that we had to fork out teck heng's fees AGAIN. jun yuan was vv nice and teacherly so THANK YOU BABY give it all to mamaah HAHA

i developed an acute stomata ache so i took a cab home with ivan leaving the rest to liu dang until dunno when, and i swore to wake up early to go for either the le miroir or escape outing the next day, and i woke up at two, so there. but i made it for kbox with the le miroir people, which was vv fun cos of woochiao and tl and yingting and lynn and lawrence and we saw haoyi OHH I MISS ALL OF YOU and we are going to queue up for lynn for this year's project superstar she is really tmd good.

meanwhile bridget was strolling around alone and got vv angry cause her feet hurt so victor and i went to find her at the bus stop opposite marina near esplanade where we went to watch debra sing and victor kept melting and THIS TIME WE HAVE PHOTO EVIDENCE omo vv funny and we went to the macau cafe for dinner again and i dunno why but i became quiet and mopey. from now on, if i become quiet and mopey its cause i realise i am not funny anymore and so i have nothing to say, and if my eyes turn red it's cause my contacts are dry, and if i start crying i am yawning because i either have nothing to say and therefore am bored, or cause i need to rewet my contacts. OKAY HAPPY THINGS HAPPY THINGS. so we walked aimlessly to spore river and ended up at cafe iguana to have a drink, then we went home.

i realise i can't fall asleep early anymore, when you start to have nothing to do you start thinking so much and you cannot sleep, and even if you do there's all the bad dreams. i should stop this, but i can't turn my feelings on and off again, and i don't know how you can do it. OKAY HAPPY THINGS HAPPY THINGS HAPPY THINGS HAPPY THINGS
