Bridging Fantasy & Reality

I've never been a party pooper, neither have i been the life of a party. I'm usually the one who always has fun, mixing around, maintaining a low profile yet having a blast. (unless the party is mine, that is, hence the limelight's on me) But David's party was a whole different experience for me. There was a lotta sitting, eating and bumming around. And then, there was the game that never took place and the erratic weather that took the party perpetually from indoors to outdoors. I'm not complaining-a party's a party and David's certainly didn't lack yummy food, great (and i mean awesome) music, an appropriate venue and some decent people to boot. But unlike other parties, i felt unusually wallflower-y.

So, for my very diva like attitude (ie, apprehension to mix around with his frisbee-playing, HELP going friends, not helping myself with the food enough to the point of having his sister come over to serve us) i would like to apologize to the host-David.... This is as good as a public apology so if you ever do read this David, i hope it makes up for my prima donna-esque self yesterday.

But on the upper hand, i think i managed to catch up pretty well on what was/is happening in Hsiao Vern and Leeza's lives to this date. There was a lotta laughing amongst us and we managed to chat up a storm and really fill each other in on what was going on in our lives (not to mention other peoples lives as well). Leeza Foo is really hillarious when she gets all worked up. Anyway, we both agreed that it's tough blending into a crowd when you don't really know most of the people. Hence, we might have appeared stuck up but really, we are both very unstuck up people who were trying our hardest to sniff around for fun.

After the party, we decided to drive to the Curve, i'm unsure of our motives for doing so considering it was already close to 12 am at that particular moment in time. I guess, we were both in denial that the night had to end in an anticlimax manner.... First, we decided to watch a late night movie, then decided against it. Our plans to indulge in Baskin Robins also met with failure when the big 'closed' sign on the glass door stopped us in our tracks. A short stroll around the half shut mall made us finally succumb to the night & gohome. I must say though, that the situation wasn't half as bad coz i still managed to catch American Idol on 8tv at home...

Met Wai Yi at the corner shop this morning while buying chee chong fun. It was good seeing her, made me wanna start e mailing her all over again. Seeing her brought back fond memories. Made a mental to catch up with her one of these days.....

College starts again tomorrow. Mixed feelings of
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! and
YEEEEEEEEEEEEssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Hmmm, perhaps the year of the boar holds much to look forward to on my part?? Well, i must say that the year of the boar kicked in pretty well for me.... I'm normally not the celebrative type when it comes to festivals, be it CNY, Deepavali or anything apart from christmas (I personally think that no one can resist the joy of christmas)... But this year, i was literally dragged into the celebration without me even realizing it!

I tossed yee sang twice this year which is a true record considering i have never done it before in my life. Once, with my college mates before bidding em goodbye for the one week holidays. And the second time around, with my friend's family and extended family... Strangely, i did not wish for anything on either occassion. I think i was too preoccupied with trying to get enough yee sang between my chopsticks to think about anything else.

Anyway, had a huge dinner at my friend's place last night and i'm still bloated from the scrumptious cuisine. There was stewed duck, roast duck, stewed pork, mixed vege (my Gawd! the mushrooms rocked!!!!!), roast chicken, chinese cabbage, ABC soup. If my stomach capacity was larger, i swear, i would've stayed longer and eaten everything! Koniyaku jelly was served for desert together with a mandarin orange... And i even got two ang pows from the very same family. This CNY just knocked my socks off and i have Lee Hua to thank for it. I'm coming to your house again next CNY, you can count on it!

Am slightly bummed that the holiday is coming to an end and i've not touched any of my homework to date. Sheesh! Plus, i'm gonna have to resume my old sleeping patterns of going to bed early and getting up early, one thing that went outta the window throughout the entire break. But on the bright side, i will be able to see all my friends again!! Can't wait to see what the year of the Boar has in store for us......

I CANNOT for the life of me understand why some people refuse to get it?!!! If a girl tells a guy that she doesn't want to hear from him any longer, it means that she doesn't wanna hear from him at all.... I know the stuff from the infamous "Men is from Mars, Women is from Venus" states that men and women speak different languages, but some things are clear- out right clear! When a girl tells a guy to buzz off in a very irritated tone it means she does not want to see him again nor does she want to receive text messages from him or calls.... u get my drift...
It so does not directly translate as "hey, come irritate me some more... that's exactly what i want coz i enjoy being bugged 24/7"

Especially not if the guy ambushed her while she was walking to her car and practically forced her to give him her number. That's just stale. He's adamant about meeting up now. It's frustrating to feel like you've acquired a stalker. A stalker who thinks you don't wanna go out with him coz you're discriminative against "his kind". Why can't he understand that whenever she thinks about him, all she feels is pure fear? Why can't he accept the fact that she's not ready to meet up with him or any other perfect (or imperfect) stranger, not now, not ever? Why can't he just put her fears to rest and leave her alone????? Because they don't do that do they? Stalkers just stalk.
