time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
yes, it does. positively zooms. and to think i kept promising myself that i would do such exciting things with my life during the holidays all through the exams. and to think that the meagre gruel of 3-weeks-short vacation from All Things Medical spooned grudgingly down my ravening throat would be enough to satisfy my diametrically-opposed desires of relaxation (dota, xbox, cloudwatching etc), self-improvement (clearing my to-read list, exercise, commencing/recommencing various classes, studying--ha. ha ha), excitement (movies, arcade, skating, beaching), and reconnecting with old friends.
so far, achieved:
1 meeting with mgfriends
2 books crossed off the reading list
3 stan bbq/tennis/madness (is this cheating? haha)
4 good movies (not counting a goal from the back. that was just sophomorically-weird)
5 (+1) outings that involved a "short detour" to borders
okay i'm tired of making lists. boring.
saw dlam and angela at takabasement. was a hot day so i had my hair tied up. havent seen d with her mouth so wide in a very very very long time. apparently there have been rumours about my hair (my hair has a rumour all to itself. dont know whether to be flattered or creeped out) floating about the exmgmates. makes me feel like going back to mgs just to see the teachers freak out. doublekill! longhaired me the future doctor. bet that fat old rhinoceros florence lim would faint. haha.
mummy just came home with the mail! and the first xmas card of the season hath arrived. courtesy of charity tay enhui whom i havent seen since... j1. in marche. haha. yes its time to break out the pilotpens and beg/borrow/make/steal those damned xmas cards again.
okay busybusy. need to change sgd for the tuesday batam trip. and then-- law and order: special victims unit on at 10! yes! tvaddicttime.

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
