be warned: i am going to be boring and recount my day, because for me it was a day rather worth remembering. today was good and there was this whole nimbus of drunken high-ness about it. but i won't reveal the nice details, sorry! this entry will merely to serve to help me remember the rest which is firmly stored in memory and memory alone =]

today.. nus essay shite. it wasn't too bad, actually. and i ran into an old friend outside, who tried to sell me on some university scholars program. i really wasn't interested, because it would mean going to nus, which vaish and i concurred is a decidedly ugly place. it could be so pretty, being on a hill, with so many trees and the red brick pavements. but the buildings are grey and butt ugly. anyway vaish didn't realise that it was a friend that i was talking to, so she thought she was saving me the harassment by jumping onto a bus and since i was following her to the mrt, i barely said bye to my friend and felt very rude rushing away into the bus. and we went to some interchange, and crossed the road, during which vaish fell down a little slope thing which was rather steep.. it was pretty scary really, because she tripped over this thing that was sticking out, and practically bounced off the slope and landed near the edge of the pavement, and she would've actually been beheaded if cars had been going past then. anyway we hung around there laughing/commiserating about her skinned knees while i was on the phone with chit, and then we jaywalked across the road, with me flailing my arms and saying 'hurry up before we die', apparently very much like j poh. and it was only to discover that the bus stop on the other side had exactly one bus which went nowhere. and then vaish suddenly sped across the road, and cars were coming, and i almost did die. and we crossed over the other half of the road, thinking that the cars were all far away, but the same car which almost hit me on the first half of the road u-turned and almost hit me again. and it was utter madness, which sort of sent us high. anyway we were back at the interchange, and a kind girl told us which bus went to buona vista mrt. and i met nadia on the mrt, and did some catching up, and then went to bukit batok to meet chit. we had a plan to go for a movie or something, but there was nothing good showing and we were too lazy to go to orchard. anyway the post office was a disaster, so we had very horrible lunch at the food court. i ended up taking most of chit's chicken gravy rice, and the curry which looked vegetarian but the woman told me had small prawns, and which therefore i hadn't bought. well i didn't end up being very vegetarian anyway, silly me. i bought chit a coke in return, and wasted most of my food. i should've bought a burger instead, it would've been cheaper and better. or even a delifrance sandwich, would've cost the same amount. and so we went back to her house, and i was being silly and drunken and trying to fix up her love life all at the same time. she's going to kill me for revealing that, but who cares. aren't we all. and it turned out her mom had lent her house of sand and fog dvd to her uncle, so she tried to make me watch IQ, which was actually cute and i was giggling really madly and wearing my belt as a headband that looked awfulm, and generally being high again. and having a one-track mind. but somehow i fell asleep 15 minutes in. and i woke up to bnl sounds, which was very nice. i think i'm finally going to get into the bnl hype. i'm a little late on the uptake, yes. and then chit burnt me some music, and then i left. was too lazy to walk to the 75 bus stop so i cabbed home, again. her house is so inconveniently located. and now i'm home!

and yesterday was great too. cast party turned out pretty good - fun, a whole bunch of people sitting in my room watching qaf and, and then going downstairs and gossiping for two hours. pity it couldn't have been longer, or that there wasn't more food.

am listening to coldplay now. the clocks piano's been troubling my head since last night. needed to put it to rest. and now i'm having the most frustrating conversation in the world with kitson, about religion. to think, the question this morning that vaish and i both individually chose without even looking at the other options was: "ramakrishna famously claimed that different religions are different paths to the same god. discuss this claim from the perspective of hinduism."
