" 'tis the season to be jolly...", and my girlies surely made this the greatest season in all of 2006. And I surely don't want January to come. . .
The Christmas season began with family dinner at Lemongrass on the eve, then interpop at home club with my girlies and lovin' friends owning the console. The next morning it was church, and then luncheon with family friends, and yet another dinner with the family. To end it off, it was dinner on boxing day at jem's place with reiner, yongzhi, juliana, foong, steph and sarah. There's definitely more food, parties, drinks and girly lovin' to be trippy about this joyful season :) can't wait.
on a less exciting note, results were released today. i did okay. nothing spectacular. we'll see what happens this coming semester when i do the modules i want, instead of those i'm required to do. planning the timetable is nerve-wrecking. let's hope i can give myself a 3 day week this time. :)

i got molested on the train yesterday. if not for the peak hour traffic, i'd have kicked him where it hurts most. i wanted to get out of the shoving and all he did was keep pushing me from behind, next thing i knew, i caught a glimpse of his hand sliding backwards when i felt something on my thigh. i should've done something and all i did was call my friend to rant really loudly on the phone. blame it on the crowd. it really beats me why singaporeans have to rush for the train. i mean, the capacity is fixed, and if you know you can't get on this one, why not wait til the next one? it's just 5 minutes difference. so i hope this bastard burns in hell and meets with the most tragic death.

i checked the new play writing module offered by my school and realised i needed to send in a short script and a couple of works. looks like it's essay time and the dateline's 26th. i'm just really pinned on submitting a good piece. but that can wait, for now, i'm basking in infinite joy.

in the cab on the way home, i thought, damn ... i'm so shagged i need a good bath and sleep. BUT. it's such a wonderful day that i couldnt help NOT switching on my laptop. and once that's done. click. click. click.
today was a girly-lovin' infested day, and I WANT MORE. two jewels back in Singapore on the same day, and everyone was present. with them around, who needs drugs. it sucks there's just so much to do but so little time. :( dell: I LOVE THE PRESSIE HUN. MWA.

another good thing happened. i must have done alot of good lately, because good karma actually came round on my side. i left my phone in the cab, and i didn't realise until i wanted to save someone's number in my phone. i had a panic seizures for the next 5 minutes thinking some dirtbag must have taken it. BUT. the cabbie and his previous passengers were such angels; he even offered to deliver the phone to my place. I AM THE HAPPIEST GIRL ON THE PLANET. wheeeeeeeee.

ahh. rain is nice. it's the bridge between sad and happy, at least for me. with all this free time and so much thinking, i might make it to the level of plato or aristotle or one of those incredible beings . . . . in my dreams. my dvd line up for the week was Garden State, Before Sunset and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, all of which I've watched countless times. Movies always draw you into another world, placing the fictitious adjacent to the real. It's realistic because it uses real people, dialogue, events, that convinces the audiences that such things could happen to them. I mean, that's why kids jump off the 92nd storey thinking they're superman right? Just like how I'd like to have my memory erased, or meet the love of my life in Vienna, then meet him 9586759675967 years later in Paris by coincidence and have him miss his flight back home. And then you realise that these things are just not possible. When the movie ends, you feel lost - like you've entered a twilight zone and now you're back out. just. there. stoned. wishing. for nothing. they say artists (performers, writers...) are the greatest liars. they make you believe, albeit momentary. from screen to book; on a rainy day, bad omens by neil gaiman and terry pratchett is a hilariously good read. so this is how my holidays will while themselves away amidst those Christmas jingles and blinking lights.

exams ~~are~~ were over (a week back?), and i'm feeling quite displaced. some things seem amiss without school - no readings, no essays, no common tests... maybe i'm a freakazoid. there isn't even holiday homework now, not that i'm complaining.
so the post exam itinery has been quite wild. barbecue with the cj dancers, home club, alcohol infested nights, catching up with ann, spring cleaning my filthy room, and movie marathons. a nice balance between home, self, family, friends and party. i like it. there's more to come though, so much catching up to do with so many people. i'm counting down to dell's and sah's arrival. that'd be the finest Christmas present. :) if you girls are reading this, i cannot. CANNOT wait. i'm already planning the slumber party, sah. (read: i might just kidnap you in my house and not let you go anywhere).
so everyone's drawing up their Christmas list for ~~Santa~~ friends. Some people say not wanting anything is the key to happiness (not that i believe happiness exists in the first place). I used to think that way. all the if i didnt crave for this, that or whatever else those consumer suckers put out on the retail shelves, then i'd be contented. AHHH. Materialism. Others also believe that if one were to compare themselves to the 'lesser fortunate' then they'd see life as more than fulfilling. This is the way i see it, though. Yes. The list of wants, if dissolved, will make us more contented. Yet, the basic act of wanting is human nature. And it's probably that which confirms our existence in the here and now. Because it is so human to want something more, it humanizes us, draws us back down to earth. Perhaps it's the only way we can feel as the world gradually becomes more decadent. So draw up your Christmas list friends, but don't thrive your soul on it. If Santa thinks you've been good, I'm sure he'll place it in your stocking this Christmas eve. :)

Dream away on the motions
of a spinning wheel that
turns without no rest on
that constant gear

Draw me the key. that
ceases this painful repetition
I want it three inches with two ridges.
Short.
Long. Respectively.

A perfect fit to unwind
MONO-TONY;
Reversing this tiresome motion.
Where my eyes look on with
such excitement until -
Another key needs to be drawn.

what's worst than having an open wound sliced open?
when will it all end. maybe i should just walk away. go. fly. die.
