For the first time in a long long loooong time, I overslept! (I'm a good girl, really!) Thank goodness Sandy sms-ed me, thereby jilting me up at a bit past 11am.
This is precisely why I never turn my handphone to Silent Mode when I sleep, just in case I accidentally hit the 'Off' instead of 'Snooze' for my alarm (as did this morning), so at least there's a chance someone'll sms me and wake me up. In life, always, ALWAYS have a plan B.
So I missed my first class. No biggie, I could review the lecture. But that also meant I didn't have class til 2pm! So I went bouncing around the city just for hecks.
PROSH WEEK is next week! Yahoo00oo00!!! For 1 week each year the entire Uni goes WiLd!
They say "a picture speaks a thousand words", and none could say it better about Prosh Week than the cover of the University magazine, Farrago.
Owh damn, tomorrow's gonna be cold, wet and hailing! The past few nights have been nice and cool (at least, to me) but why, on cocktail night itself, does it have to be cooooold?!
Murphy's Law holds true.. once more. Hopefully my trench coat, scarf and stockings will help me out! I feel cold already... And pray I don't slip on the wet road in my heels and break my neck, knowing how un-dainty I am and how unused to heels I am. Scary scary.
Neway, I am quite sick of bloating after drinking milk due to my lil' lactose intolerance. (95% of Chinese are lactose intolerant; 5% of Dutch are.) Yeah, thank the ancestors. As my Turkish friend said, "Don't worry, Van, you'll adapt to taking milk. Just give it another 300 years or so." -.-
So I decided to switch to Soy milk. I tried soy milk before. Was sooo yucky, I gave the carton to my old landlord to drink. Hehehe! Jae agrees it's icky too.
How come our tao huay tastes so much better than the soy milk the angmohs here drink? Are they the same or different? Neone knows??
Well, I really wanted to test out this new change in my diet. Sooo... just on the safe side, plus the memory of ickiness rampant in my mind, I bought chocolate flavoured soy milk! Went home and had a cup.
Erm.. Tasted quite exotic la.
And then my mom called. Now she asked me the very same question about Jae that many many of my friends have asked me, "How come his parents didn't invite you out to dinner or anything?"
According to my mom, it "shows what they think of you", that they don't acknowledge my being a part of his life. Mmm... don't know.. Cos my friends' parents have ask their girlfriends/boyfriends tag along to meals and stuff.
I think I'm only just a lil bit sour about the lack of the gesture, cos I guess I just got used to his parent's indifference to me. More his mom than his dad, really.
Well, we've got a complicated relationship. Another question I'm asked a lot which I've not been able to answer is, "Wait, if you guys are already planning to break up next year, why are you even still together then?"
He'll be leaving for London in June on exchange for a year and we agreed to split up cos according to him, he doesn't wanna restrain me -while he's away and not be able to be there for me- from meeting someone who can be there. As for me, being a perfectly-balanced reciprocator (it's my nature), I was cool with it. So yeah... Good question these people been asking. *takes shovel* Let's go digging for an answer!

Those days are long gone now.
I am proud to announce that finally... FINALLY... after nearly 5 years of searching, I have the Phantom of the Opera Jap recording AT LAST!!!!! *maniacal laughter*
This one goes right into my POTO collection, along with my English, Dutch, German and Chinese versions. Now if I could just get my hands on the Korean one, then Italian, French and Spanish too.
If anyone happens to have em, please please PLEASE send it to me!
Speaking of Korean, Jamie, I checked out a Korean performance of the Phantom theme. Amazing. Their voices were both sooo operatic and powerful, fluid and Phantom-esque. Beautiful singing. And then you realize: they're singing in English.
The girl was good, but the guy... Wth kind of English is that?! Check it out yourself.
And then there's another performance, in full costume and on set. Omfg, the Phantom's voice is P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L! So Asians really CAN sing soprano!
Okay, moving away from the Phantom mania.
Ooh gosh I'm real excited about the Aa Cocktail night on Thursday.
But I'm concerned about the alcohol. Cocktails tend to be strong, and I'm a lightweight. As in, feather-light. A Bacardi Breezer could knock me out! And if I don't drink.. well, just wouldn't fit in...
... I see what secondary school meant by 'peer pressure'.
Anyone know how light-weight cocktails... that are also low on the calories???
My Melb Uni mates, did any of you see a girl in a denim skirt and brown boots with a bright red backpack hanging around the front of Union House with a guy in a grey Nike jacket between 12 - 1pm?
Yeah that was me.
I spent my lunchbreak hanging out with Winson (who was running for Welfare Coordinator on the MUOSS committee) and we were poaching people for votes.
I swear, the MUOSS committee is corrupt! LOL! It had nothing to do with me, but I was bored, and Winson's a real nice friend, so I decided to help him out by playing secretary.
Allowed me to meet new people in the process anyway. :-)
Ee, I better start getting into the habit of doing something constructive at night now. I seem to be wasting my time every night, munching and surfing and blabbering.
Oh, and just for fun, check out the back of my legs.
I know the lines are faint, but if you can see em, they look a lot like cheetah lines, don't they?! I so was a cheetah in my previous life. *miaow*
No wonder I'm a runner!
(Note: 1, My legs aren't crooked; I just had to tilt them toward a slightly awkward position to show the lines more centrally. 2, I starkly increased the contrast so as to bring out the lines more, so don't worry, I don't have any mild skin disease!)

The repairman will never have seen a model quite like yours before.

Ok, I've not gone crazy. Just that.. just that... I'm excited... cos.. cos...
The Phantom of the Opera 2 is launching soooon!!! And it's gonna be written by the original composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber!
Oh, and my building's management dropped a handwritten B'day card in my mailbox today!
A bit early, but nvm. It really made my day, even if I don't know em. (Well, I do know the receptionist.)
Yes OJ and Jason, I remember you guys saying that it's very easy to make me happy.
Never mind! Plus the good run I had later really boosted my mood even more!
I've not seen Jae since last Wed. He's been with his family since they arrived. He's been eating with them too, so we don't meet up for lunch or dinner. Ah well, I'm either on my own or with company when I can find them. Hanging out with Sandy. Sweet little spunk of a Japanophile.
Reminds me of Jamie, only chubbier!
Eh... still slacking... Damnit...
I know, I'm feeling short-cut-ish and random right now.

What would you change about your country if you could be in charge for a day? Submitted by |
Too many. But off the top of my head,
- I'd allow the right to free speech
- give allowances to the old (who've worked so hard in youth to contribute to the country's growth hence deserve to be cared for when they can no longer work!!!)
- reform the system so it's not so blood-sucking
...wait... will I get in trouble for posting this up?
