mich helped me fix a new template. thanks love. really. it was hard to fix.
my family went out for dinner today. celebrated in advance. went to Au Petit Salut for french food.
had foie gras, escargots, veal tenderloin, french onion soup scallops and salmon. dad ordered champagne and red wine(which i can't really tell between all the other eds) the desserts were yummy. the creme brulee, orange and grande marnier souffle were really good. and the service was great too.
they surprised me with a sinful warm choc cake. yummy.
i like surprises. good ones anyway. don't you?

yesterday was one of the baddest days. but towards evening it got better.
1. got nagged in the car early in the morning.
2. got kena by teacher.
3. got splashed by the water cooler.
4. got kena by auntie on the bus.
so by the time i left school and headed for orchard, i was about to scream, cry shout and plain get mad. suan, shin, yisheng, damian, khengwee, anthon and i headed to town together. they were gonna watch star wars and i was gonna meet mich.
suan, shin me and yisheng took this really dumb shot.
headed to billy bombers to eat. met mich.
watched monster in law with mich. pretty good show and walked around a bit.
met my mom. ran into 2 np juniors in town. and bumped into lili and hui hsing too.
had dinner with my family after that.
today was a lot better. it being the last day of the term. you just wanna go and miss every single lesson. the math lecturer was kind, she let us off 1 period early.
we headed to curry wok for lunch. and stoned through the day.
went town and had marche's crepes and waffles.
miki and shar got me earrings for my 18th birthday.
yihan made this really sweet book of a compilation of all the poems and scribblings i've penned over the past 3 and a half years. printed, grammar-corrected, shortform-removed and decorated. i now have a hard copy of what i've written. thanks love.
ohh and this lily which is really pretty but currently on the brink of untimely death. it suffered great ordeals with me. hopefully it pulls through its comatose state and gets well.
a week to go. gotta keep being 17!

1. an apology. i really should have attended debs concert last night, she playing solo and all. but then i ended up at the esplandade AJCO concert.
2. i had a pretty good time yesterday. it was supposed to be an old NJ class reunion. but technically i was the only one present who was from another school. mar doesn't count since it was her performance that we were gonna watch. it really goes to show how much i still cherish the friendships which i made then.
so daph, me, jiachien, alina, potion, jon and angela met up. daph came in this super revealing shirt which she figured wasn't a really good idea so she bought this top and changed. rich girl!.
we ended up just strolling in orchard and took so many rounds of neos.
just a couple to peek at.
we had dinner. potion, jonathan and me shared BK while the rest had yoshinoya. quite thankful that the yoshi people didn't chase us out.
we went to the arcade and played daytona and air hockey. daph and i were screeching really loudly coz we kept losing. then we tried to cooridnate and play DDR. then there was this really dumb star wars game.
in the end we were really late for the concert. went in only during the interval. which i'm pretty thankful for. since i don't do CO really well. a single person doing a solo is nice but the whole orchestra is pretty overwhelming. the last 2 finale pieces were nice though.
had ice cream at haagen daaz after it ended and then came home.
i think it was all pretty amazing. i mean, i wasn't even sure about going in the first place. like maybe i'll run out of things to say. but jaded me doesn't have cause to feel jaded. i guess the first 3 months made a difference. it was a make or break thing. sure, we don't see each other really often. but i guess the impressions we formed then really stuck. i'm still the blur one who does unexpected and stupid things. w'eve still got the inside jokes brought forward from a year ago. maybe they've got their own inside jokes now, and i'm not sharing in them. but i'm still a part.
what struck me as surprisng is how freely conversation flowed. i'm talking to these guys whom i haven't spoken to in ages. and there's much to say.
so i guess it's, thank you for making it happen.
3. i thought i'd come up with my own list for THE one.
a. someone 7cm taller than me (it used to be 10cm)
b. someone who keeps me intrigued (i have to be interested. i've got to keep wanting to know)
c. someone who makes me laugh (i spend enough time making others laugh that sometimes i actually want to laugh too)
d. someone who does little sweet gestures for me (can be anything. it's the little things which make up the happiest moments of your life)
e. someone who will talk with me and listen to what i have to say when i'm down.
f. someone who's more heavily built than me (i actually like to feel protected since i feel like i'm continually dwarfing people)
j. someone who's not loud (dry/sarcastic humour. or the normal brand is fine. but not the loud type like the guy who came and gave a talk and was pretty ineffective as a speaker)
k. someone who's spontaneous (willing to take on dares and rise to the occasion)
l. someone who's masculine (it's self-explanatory)
m. someone who has younger siblings (they tend to be more mature and responsible)
n. someone who isn't squeamish/afraid of the dark or creepy crawlies
o. someone i like. (if i like someone, the above don't matter anymore)
happy vesak people!
