bye bye nice girl.

"IT'S FOR ONLY FOURTY DAYS." - that's the mantra i am chanting this lent - i'm giving up carbs + sugar for lent. this means no rice, bread or potatoes. no dessert or sweet drinks (though i'll still bake!). this means cranky me.

spent the day watching an awesome CSI Miami marathon. I would kill to be Horatio's wing woman. And how difficult can a CSI's job be when you have basically all the the technology that avatar has.

oh, some woman died - swab her mouth put it in some bottle and shove the bottle into a machine and nah, there's your killer!

then, with my dripping nose and chesty cough, i went for some good ol' butter chicken with the gang at swis ling. damn good, even if i couldn't taste have of it.

headed down to barnyard to catch emily's gig - let's just say the guitarist was strumming my pain with his fingers and killing me softly with his song. em was pristine though... how she didn't manage Singapore Idol is beyond me.

(ps, andrew gracia in top 24, yooza!)

finally, got the dose of L4D2 with the gang - though the beau left me dying metres away from the damn helicopter. wah lau, in the real zombie attack, i'll use my last dying breath to trip him so he would die next to me.

i'm a romantic like that.

now, i'm home, clean and still woozy from being sick.
meh, so much activities and yet so little time.

it's good to be me, i guess.

gong hei.

so chinese new year was pretty fantastic.
i got to see people that have more or less faded into the oblivion of my life.

tonight, i met up with some friends i haven't seen in a long time.
though some events startled me, it was a common comfort i find in knowing that after all the shit has settled - nothing has really changed.

we talked about mass comm - the goods and the bads, the dos and the don'ts. it made me realise what a blessing in disguise mass comm was to me. i met the best people there, experienced heartbreak, learned about the depths of the human mind and finally actually found who i really am.

yes, it's a two-faced shithole when we talked about it - tons of scandal and lies but then again, mass com defined my life in a way school couldn't.

i'm glad i was in mass comm... and i'm glad i stuck around with this bunch of people throughout.
