all in all, we (we as in, with everybody that i've met this wk) ate too much food, sipped too much cocktails, played too much tennis, joked n horsed ar'd too much, sang till we go silly, and had a great week.

if u had watched "Swing Girls", maybe u wud have noticed that the ending song is the same one as the one in "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days". one thing led to another n before we know it, our memories were transported back to the days of, "Maid In Manhattan". that was after A-levels man.

everyone else in cine must've thot we were mad, singing such oldies. but i really can't help it. i sing when i am happy. when i am happy n am ar'd certain mad pple too that is.

it sounds silly and way-too-old to say this, but we agreed that we do wanna go back to being 18. no, 17. the clean feeling of showering after trg (or in our case, tennis), the sweet scents of various shampoos n shower foams faintly lingering onto urselves, pigging out on cartel's prok ribs after trg (tennis), then lamenting "put all the burnt calories back", having nothing to do but prancing ar'd orchard too much. ah, those days.

we met someone in cine too.. someone... hmmm. i always wondered why do all of us (oh ok. the majority of us) have r/s hangups.

n i realised that we are really scary girls who, deep down, are wishing for someone as possessive n as sweet n as scary (n hopefully, as rich) as daoming si. (so re-watching meteor garden wasn't that bad... right?)

i am still wondering.

if only i had not overslept at all for this sem, if i had not been so prissy n hop onto any cab when the mood strikes, then most prob i cud've bought another 20 books n spare change for more CDS!!!! argh.

*sigh* i want my milan kunderas n david secadas n blahblahblahs.

n middlesex is... intriguing. becoz we took... ah, that's another story.

it may be too late, too outdated to say this...

but my youngest sister is turning me into a jay chou convert.

i am getting so uncool.

the other one, for goodness knows wat, asked me about alsace-lorraine the other day n the all i cud think of is "quiche lorraine". so much for history. somebody, whom in those days way b4 "Waterboys" was even shown, said that she will name her daughters alscae and lorraine despite the bloody history behind it coz they sounded so romantic...

n now we've lost touched.

regrets? i do have a few.

i have been limiting, putting myself down in many areas n i want to break out of that. but it's the most difficult thing to do when ur back is facing the sunshine n all u can see are the shadows.

certain things, when i come to reflect upon the past few yrs, have lead to certain major changes. some are accidental, some are uncontrollable, some are irreversible, n all cud've been prevented.

but then hindsight is always 20/20.

for now, i guess i'll just have to try to stop bullying myself.
