so it's wet, raining, and generally bad for running. gah.

but on the bright side, meeting up with people is fun.

and OOF. i have eaten SO MUCH getting rid of the 5pounds is not going to be happening.

wargh! so yes, it's been late. in any case, flight over from logan was diverted to o'hare, and then to narita, and i had the luck to be surrounded with wailing kids the WHOLE WAY. wonderfulness. but it was ok, i guess. back in singapore now, it HASN'T STOPPED RAINING which kinda sucks since i actually have to run now. christmas was goood. um. will post more on this subject later mm. including doodles.

so i just spent $4 on random stupid foodstuffs because i ran out of quarters and i needed a dryer. who'da thunk it. bloody hell.

and syriana is CONFUSING AS HELL. i was SO lost it was not even funny.

YES. THIS IS MY ROOM.

on a side note, leaving tmr. funfun. oh god, admin stuff is annoying.

so it's been a pretty amazing post-exam period. since monday i've been chillin' and it's been great. spanish was not so bad (despite amazing one hour of last minute studying in eaton computer lab) which was probably due to

dinner at bertucci's on monday for our appreciate allison dinner, followed by hanging out at s.'s and subsequently b.'s house. which was hilarious and absolutely enlightening ("so. let's go around the circle, and tell everyone your high point and low point of the past week. okay, okay, week and a half to include semiformal. and who you have made out with." b's place is AWESOME. when i grow up graduate (i'm supposed to be Of Age now heh. yeeaaaahh right.) i want pad like that.

eggs for breakfast too :) cheese omlette mmmmmm.

um tuesday. did absolutely nothing, except ooh! lug a huge box 0.8miles (1.28km) to the ups store >.< i figured, it's not so bad a walk, i can run back, it's all good. right? WRONG. it's bloody cold, and to top it off i get distracted by a comics store next door. there goes half an hour. head back to the track, and proceed to run 400s in the cold. but there were geese on the lawn, so it was ok.

and then i spent the rest of the night grabbing music, running around campus, watching the antics of men in bathrobes in the library and cuddling a really cute dog. oh, and imbibing alcohol, but that goes without saying. hur. get to bed - 4am. wake up - 9.30am for jazz piano lesson (played billie's bounce! so fun!). hope i can take jazz next semester - that would be awesome. have to do a lot of work for it over break though. NO WORRIES.

andthenandthenandthen. we had. a run. where we just went to find christmas lights. it was GREAT. we're all probably going to hell for it, but who cares :) the photos were awesome.

i am NOT freaking out.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.


so yes, that was an anna shih.

just ran 8 miles. at a 10 minute mile pace. SO SLOW.

but hot chocolate keeps me warm mmmmmmm. *snuggles*

WAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

HUNGRRRYYYYY,

grah.



mmmmm reeses' pieces *smirk*

"plan b, cat, is to suck it up and stick to plan a."

BOOYAH!!

poikilotherm!!!!!

ogods do you ever just sit there and absolutely mind your own business and suddenly recall a segment of memory from a previous night that was so spectacularly out-of-the-ordinary yet it somehow totally slipped your mind?

yeah.

OMG NQR COLD RAN 5 ROUNDS HAVE PHILOSOPHY FINAL PAPER TOMORROW DIEDIEDIE OMG NAKED RULED AT BEIRUT WTF PWNT.

and i'm really, really full. at least half a pizza, at least. love peppermint bark. and chocolatecoveredcoffeebeans

so yes, i may not watch scrubs, but i do remember charlie brown and i do like this very much. the jazzy accompaniment helps much.

so perhaps some of you have heard the stuff about tufts and the racist carol done by the primary source. their funding'll probably be cut, i think. i guess coming from singapore, i was rather surprised that they weren't taken to task earlier - hell, most people i talked with were surprised that since they've been doing shit like this (i.e. publishing racist comment and articles) earlier they have yet to be censured for it. but then, hey, free speech right? but of course, there is no responsibility for your speech. how can you take your words back from the air. there is the complication of their typical exaggeration, and their tendency to be blatant and aim not to be taken too seriously, but still. uncalled for.

what saddens me most, probably, is that it had to go through a few editors to get published. and apparently, it was ok. i mean, i don't doubt that there were people who argued against it, but the fact that the call was made to let it go through...*shrug*

on a side note, got my essays and stuff back. bloody hell. incentive to study. and nqr tonight. funfun. as long as it doesn't turn up on youtube.

music of the moment - dave brubeck - away in a manger

priceless.

on another note: saw guster last night. was great, i love their music live now :) and had cpk, and cheesecake factory, and after that dance party. only bad bit - it was bitterly cold. very much so. think -15ºC. brrr. toes HURT.

semiformal now bye.

IT'S REALLY SNOWING NOW. 7.35~~! :D:D:D:D:D

it's 6.36am and it's SNOWING.

:D:D:D

so donut run was a lot of fun, and i would have run it if i hadn't run ten miles this morning. TEN FUCKING MILES. my body is Pain. and i fell, and skinned knee. lots of blood w00t. i heard hisses of intaken breath when i passed people. but YES. i ran 16km. i am SO PROUD THAT I DID IT. not in a pompous way, but in a good way. just really happy i survived.

and n. came over because of mit tournament and teammates not staying at mit. so went into boston, had penang with n. and m. who is in BU :) funfunfun.

ohgod my calves.




ohgod, work.
say it to my face why don't you. be better than me, who could never articulate how awkward i felt that i never got to know you, that i screwed up. all those fucking mixed signals, saying one thing and meaning another. saying you were open to freedom, yet chaining me subtly with words. no involvement my foot. geez. and surprisingly enough i'm not mad, i'm not even furious, i'm not even particularly moved. yes, there was guilt, but not from your ceaseless guilt-tripping. there was guilt that i let it get that far in the first place. you said you knew what it was like, but evidently it didn't matter fuck to what you wanted. so no, i'm not going to be your guilt font, i have learned the hard way that there are enough crosses to bear without bearing those forced upon you. i refuse to bear yours, when you are capable of bringing yourself up. i will not be your crutch [and may i be guilty of melodramatising, bear in mind your furious departure]. i'm just tired of theatrics, i refuse to apportion blame, if you want to blame me go ahead. i refuse to dignify your accusations and misrepresentations with any other reply than this. find it if you will. fuck your melodrama. i do not want this sort of shit.
gah.

moo. mood. of the moment - omgworkdie.
music of the moment - j geils band - centerfold. or all the jazz i was playing :) found someone to jam with OMG YES!

ny was AWESOMENESS. it was SO GOOD. i got there around 11am from chappaqua and i got to chappaqua because anna's awesome mom gave me a lift :) so i went and got lost in NY.

basically i rambled like a worm in a really amazing apple. saw all the shops, like lord and taylors and macy's' shop windows, and walked through those stores, got my boots (aerosoles!) and i WENT TO THE LIBRARY. IT IS THE BEST. IT IS SO COOL. but the best bit was when i went to the map room, and took out a REALLY OLD MAP of asia and looked at it for half an hour. it was amazing. that map was OLD, i don't know just how old, but it was amazing.

then t. came down, and we went walking. tried to get into chicago (cheap tickets) but they were out, so we kept on walking to the rockefeller center. we ate at some upscale deli thing (pom juice and something else can cost you $8!) and then we went to the top of the rock. which was gorgeous. it was a nice night, not too windy, and you could see a lot.

though i could just see snogging couples everywhere. it had nooks and crannies.

after that we went to find food, since we skipped out on our reservation with matasuri. we headed down to soho because i had never been there, and now i need to go there more. soho looks really interesting :P and we were outside balthazar, and decided just on the spur of the moment to see if we could get in.

we did. balthazar. it's NEVER EMPTY. and we got in. you have no idea how orgasmic the food was. it was GOOD. so expensive, but SO GOOD. then after that we walked to t's friend's club, can't remember what it's called (sublimation? starts with an i). it was a slow night, but the songs would have gotten anyone at mos or zouk dancing.

after all that was the looong train ride to connecticut. t has a really really nice house. cute kid brother, awesome sister, dad has a wicked sense of humour. brunch with his mom was interesting…and the ride back was LONG. stupid thanksgiving sunday jams. had dinner on the road, slept most of the way.

ok getting bored of blogging this shit. suffice it to say, life was good :)
