i cant believe you still have the habit of going to the toilet halfway through our conversation (the echo is evident!); i know you so well i can tell what ildm stands for with just 1 guess; we've come such a long way that we've moved on to talking abt my sister's wedding and HUSBAND, not BF; how you're probably the only person who calls me vainpot (and stressing on the 'pot' bit everytime u say it) and that i get reminded of you (and how you say it) whenever i think of that word; that you've finally decided that you'll give jeans a go after sooo long; that you think my daughter is going to be such a spoilt pink princess you just have to give her some blue clothes to offset the wardrobe.. and most of all i cant believe you bought a 4.8V vacuum cleaner that doesnt even make a piece of paper flap. to think we have to resort to calling cards when we once lived only 10 mins from each other. and to think i freaked out at the thought of moving to the east when you're now in a totally different hemisphere. phonecalls end up being so precious when you haven't heard from a friend for a while. but at least we've got geographical distance. so what's your excuse? i can hear the birds chirping already and i figured i'll just take this chance to stay up since i cant really do that on weekdays. i'm like a nocturnal trying to wean herself off late nights but still gets occasional withdrawal symptoms. the mooncake supply in our house officially ran out tonight and all my efforts of trying to make it last has been pretty unsuccessful considering my weakness for that sweet and fattening thing. alongside with pineapple tarts, i'd gladly eat it for dinner. strangely these are the things that make me miss singapore. not laksa, not nasi lemak, not chicken rice. but mooncake and pineapple tarts. i'm getting bored. i need some kind of lifestyle makeover. if lou really follows up with her threat to pack up and return to singapore for good after this yr...(and hence deem me housemate-less) (noooo...!)), i might just do something as drastic as moving into college. but she reckons i'd need 2 rooms. 1 for living in...and 1 for storage (and wardrobe?) purposes. pooey. i realised that everytime i make a momentous decision regarding this same thing that has been bugging me for the longest time, something would come (in the most timely fashion mind you) to thwart my big plans. im really beginning to feel like it's either a cruel joke being played on me...or that you have fixed some kinda surveillance in the little corner of my brain to watch my thoughts closely. either way, it's not funny. if i stayed awake for another 20 mins, i'd be in time for the cantonese news on sbs. my goodness. i cant remember the last time i heard news in cantonese. the neighbours are back..looks like i'm not the only one up!
