In Transit
March 18th, 2006
i know i can only have this much of good fortune in my life, much less in one week. i know i really shouldnt ask for any more, and be grateful for what i already have. so i’m just sitting here trying to tell myself not to be disappointed or upset in any way at this turn of events today. i am succeeding quite well so far, i think. though it would be very nice to know exactly WHY i keep screwing things up for myself.
on a cheerier note, i absolutely love it when i come back home and find a package/parcel for me. it’s one of the best cures for bad moods and down days, even more effective than takeaway ice cream while watching an excellent movie at home with good movie-company (i swear, this is so hard to come by nowadays), or a good long shower. today, i got The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. from Chi :) i heart you, old man. you brighten up my days so much!
Aira is leaving for NS - the HORROR! - in two days, so yesterday a bunch of us got together to have dinner with her. Jon hijacked it halfway through and turned it into 50% his farewell, since he’s leaving for Vancouver, Canada in about a week. like, for good. it was weird cos everyone was shaking his hand as if they weren’t gonna ever see him again. even i felt quite obliged to take one final photo with him. it’s so strange, he’s exiting our lives as quickly as he entered. hmm. many people come and go, but some will always be particularly outstanding in the archives of my mind.
anyhoo. the last time i posted a meme thing, Alvin thought that the 7 Known Things and 7 Lesser Known Things About Me were scary enough to frighten off all my potential life partners … so, okay, i’m gonna re-do it cos i dont wanna die lonely and unmarried :(
7 Known Things About Me
1. i collect pigs and ducks (of the cotton-stuffed plushie variety)
2. i am an optimistic pessimist who hopes too much and expects too little
3. i dont buy CDs
4. i should never be allowed behind the wheel
5. i write killer surat aduans (complaint letters) ..!
6. i’m really picky when it comes to guys (okay this isnt helping)
7. and i’d make a really good wife :(
7 Lesser Known Things About Me
1. i LOVE shopping for birthday gifts
2. i pay a lot of attention to how i sign my cards and emails and letters. cos different people require different signoffs.
3. i sometimes feel that i treat my friends the way i would raise my children
4. a brilliant and welldone ad campaign can lift my mood immensely
5. i am a relationship packrat. i’ve got boxes and boxes full of mementoes (there are some REALLY strange things in there) from all my past relationships that i let no one look through
6. any productivity comes from me only when my OCDness has been satiated
7. i’ve been in love with someone for 3 years. he doesnt know. if i told him, my best friend would kill me .. :D
****
okay now that that’s done with. let’s move on to the most important part of this post.
DAMIEN RICE. 30th MARCH. SINGAPORE.
WHO WANTS TO GO WITH ME?!?!
i’m dead serious. i dont know why, but i seem to know no Damien Rice fans?? faster faster, tell me you will go with me, and we shall buy our tickets right away! let this not be another Jason Mraz incident, where his tickets sold out in like 2 SECONDS :(
