it was couples' night out last night and we watched Initial D, kelly jude (hello kelly!!), james sis and me ko.
after the show everyone's in a vroom vroom mood, and on the way to james' house jude continually makes psst psst gas noises while he "switches gear" in his auto car.
then a song comes on, i can't remember which, and james turns to my sis and asks, "hey do you like switchfoot?"
and my sis asks in all innocence, "oh! is it where you change gear and then quickly switch your foot from accelerator to the brake pedal?" (or something to that effect)
"no, switchfoot. the band."
eli and my sis should be twins instead.

so i'm waiting the whole day, trying very hard to watch the chinese news at 7pm, and to catch a glimpse of the climbing team and myself on tv, and the report comes on about the "I CAN" climbing clinic that we had in school today, and my eyes are glued to the screen, and i see ruixuan! and kaiyin! but then i don't see me.
so i wait, till the 10pm news on channelnewsasia. and i wait and i wait and i don't see anything. and i think, ohh well, nevermind then!
but then i come online! and then lipeng tells me she saw me on the news! and i feel cheated, because i waited the whole day to see myself on tv and i missed it.
the cheap thrills in life.

i think music is fascinating. that somehow people from different parts of the world can unite because they share smiliar type of music preferences. i loved how i spoke to this danish guy about micheal learns to rock, westlife, alil bit if paul oakenfold (because he interviewed him before) and a lil bit more of some alternative bands and boybands. i loved how i spoke to my mexican teacher about love parade and ministry of sound.
and as random as this is, i wanna tell eli that my ipod is still the most beautiful thing i've ever owned!!!

so there's nothing much to say except that I've been having fantastic adventure dreams of which i cannot rememeber any now, but i think that my fantastic dreams have been happening only to make up for my fantastically boring life.
you know how life always goes up and then down? this is definitely a down. my weirdass boss hasnt' called me in the past umm two weeks or so, which means i've had no work for the past umm.. ican'trememberwhen, and that also equates to a horribly rapidly depleting bank account. plus, my tuition girl hasn't been in town for the past couple of weeks as well. to top it all off, i can't even partake in my leisurely and cheap pasttime of climbing because of an injured back.
murphy's law.
oh why yes i almost forgot, my boyfriend lives in a lan shop, sis is a workhorse, eli is only free when she's not climbing, addie's sleeping or working, raymond's in sydney, lori's in phillipines, alicia is/was in china,and nat yes well i think nat is in um moreira, ALL add to the reason I've been roaming the streets of singapore alone, watching too much tv and eating too much junk.
ok done complaining.
i buried a bird that died in the shoebox that i put it in to prevent it from being eaten by my dogs yes my dogs eat birds.
and oh i saw lionel's mummy i like lionel's mummy but i can never tell if she's jolene's mummy or if she's lionel's mummy.

4 weeks in mexico. its been tiring yet fun. well at least sometimes, it gets tiring cause theres alot of tension within the group. and for those who know me, when theres tension, i simply shut down. and learning a new language is really really frustrating, unless u're with the group, its 100% spanish man. no bullshit. but neverthesless, heres a brieft summary of the past 4 weeks.
don't mind the funny picture sizes please. cause i've been shrinking as many pictures as i can so that they all can fit into my iny bity USB stick.
so like the say, mexico is full of culture. the people, the landscape, the lifestyles.. its so rich in tradition, i almost feel bad to think that we have the richest culture. these pictures are taken when we were taking field trips to other cities.
the landscape
ancient pyramids in Tzingzunzan and Tingabatum
tzingzunzan
tingabatum
the national park at Uruapan
the little town of ceremics, Capula
Patzcuaro, another little town
Santa Clara de Cobre, the little town of Copper
Morelia, where i'm currently at
the mexican people..
my Spanish class
the girly shots..
the bars and the clubs..
and other events and excursions..
and last but not least, the lighting up of the cathedral and the fireworks.
i just spent an hour and a half of my life posting these pictures. hope u guys like it.

- anasazi lace ups ( which i have yet to completely season with all the comps. going on recently. cant wait to break into them though its got excellent reviews everywhere.)
- solomons ( looks nice, feels not so nice. nuff said)
- boreal matrix (comfy! my first pair and falling apart and i still cant bear to throw it away)
3 pairs of shoes and i still succumbed to buying another pair on saturday
- mad rock shark!
i bought it over from liping and its brand new and the toe hook was so sensitive i couldnt resist!! the fit felt like a glove, its like the difference between wearing nike prestos and some cheap and heavy running shoes. one feels like a stocking the other feels like a thick leather boot.
now i have 4 pairs of shoes to choose from when i climb.
and when my feet finally gets desensitized from all the seasoning of my shoes, ill aim to buy 5.10 v tens!
a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes. =)
rockamania finals on saturday, the only thing i have to fear are my nerves. once i get nervous my arms and legs go everywhere. focus focus focus.

their backs diminished in size as they headed for the depths and darkness of cyberdome, and i thought to myself that this would probably be the last time in a long time we'd all ever hang out and watch a movie together. and i did feel a twinge of sadness.
afterall, where would i be without these people to pat me on the back during my vomitting sprees at zouk with those oh so reassuring words, "don't worry i won't tell ko".
we've come such a long way from the days of starbucks headquarters.
a new phase, a new life. all the best guys, all the best. :)

i dreamt that I wanted to blog about something important and in that dream I told myself specifically that I had to get up and blog because it was something of earth-shattering importance. Now that I'm up, I can't remember nuts, except that in another part of my dream this guy i didn't like got attacked by my dog, which happened to be a big and ferocious German Shepard.
I think its all Kelvin Ong's fault now. In a bid to prove that I am forgetful, he made me repeat, "I think I am forgetful" 5 times. Now I really believe that I am forgetful.

as much as i feel like i'm growing and changing, it seems to me that i'm slowly converting into the same person as i was before. i think its a good thing because in the past, i didn't hold so much. i loved life, i loved my friends and i loved everything.. teeeheehee...
i finished reading this book about prostitutes. and i will admit that i've always been fascinated with hookers.. although i live in the hub of prostitution in hawaii, i still get this kick when i see some hooker chick bring home a guy. ha. but anyways, it always amazed me how people can manipulate an intimate act and make a living out of it. and this is the same for all one nght stands too. sometimes, i wonder whether i feel this way because i've never engaged myself in such situations. but i don't not because of fear of thomas finding out or anything. moreso, i'm afraid of the impact it might have on me. that somewhere along the line, having casual carnal sex would diminish the very meaning of it all. its just a thought. since when did this intimate exchange simply become physical pleasure? or is it merely numbers, an ego booster??

princesses, thomas said hi. he asked me whether i still talked to the both of u here. and i miss the both of u very much.
when u're in a strange country and struggling with the language, its already frustrating. i can do without the irritating whiners and the cheap broke ass people. so at times like these, i think of the both of u and how u girls are my ideal best friends...
i love u babes.. so much more now that i'm stuck here. enjoying this mexican life but fucking frustrated with spanish...
