i almost got that shirt from dangerfield. your memory is a pretty funny thing. it fails you when you're trying to recall in an exam - but it never fails to prode at you when you're trying very hard to forget something. right. not like i have much to forget in this short span of 20 yrs but you get what i mean, dont you? the brain likes to associate. sights, smells, sounds, to people, places, objects, feelings. and i hate the way songs can teleport me back in time. i've got happy songs, taboo songs and those that reminds me of him, her, you, us (please note the randomness in the people) and stringing some of these songs together in the form of an iTunes playlist proved to be a big mistake, especially while you're sleeping - you'll only end up getting a mega weird dream with too many unwanted main characters. and if there's anything more destructive than that - it'd probably be karaoke. well, go figure. my cross pendent fell to the carpet while i was fiddling with it. after a few days, many attempts at finding it and a vacuuming session, it remains lost. i am extremely displeased. and speaking of displeasure, this happens all the time prior to my return: i can't decide whether i'm excited about going back at all (1 week 1 week!). i know i should be - i'm really trying, but i'm just not all that enthusiastic at the moment. not on this friday morning at least. i agree with bun (i'm glad she's my best friend) overseas students dont have it easy because holidays spoil alot of things. relationships and trust are built over time and holidays/endofdegree disrupt consistency - by the time something is up-and-going, the holiday comes along to ruin it. with that, i'm almost glad i dont have a break next year - i won't have much a choice but to stick around then. but the fact that 2006 is the year that the bun and the yf are going to be back for internships disappoints me. t w o y e a r s! i've almost forgotten how they look like. i conclude that expectations set you up for disappointment. i'm hoping someone can disprove me - because i think i'm expecting too much.
