The young and the restless

Went to bed at 3.30 last night, woke up at 1pm, went back to bed by 2.30 after lunch, finally woke up at 4.45

I love the holidays.

One month from now, it will be better. Chua Kooi Kuan Paul will be home.

Two months from now, it will be even better. I will still be spending time with him.

Some things my friends and I did to mark the end of Year 1:

Lunch at Pyramid after the Business Law paper on Thursday.

Toys R Us at Bangsar Village, while waiting for Mary to end at six.
Rosemary's Baby in the Monash library on Friday.

A quote from the movie Baby Mama:

Carl: I want you back. I haven't had sex in two weeks.

Angie: I've been gone for a month.

Opening doors

Did you know that there's such a thing called PsyD?

Doctor of Psychology is a professional doctorate in Clinical Psychology.

Clinical psychology or banking and finance?

Brunch

Konichiwa! Weekend Brunch at Iketeru, Hilton Kuala Lumpur earlier today.

Ma, Mary and I with my dad's third sister.

Regulation standard: Green tea ice cream Very good food. An even better way to get fat; we ate for over two hours.

Smile

On Friday morning, I planned wake up at 7.50, leave home by 8.15 to reach uni by 8.45, just in time for class at 9.

Instead, I woke up at 8, left home at 8.20. Hoped that the traffic would be okay, but as I was driving down the bukit, there was a crawl. Took me an hour to reach uni. Made an appearance in the computer lab.

Lesson learnt: Don't snooze too many times. Must get up at the time set. And it's exam period now, I can't afford to be late.

Some pictures of us in the library during the long three and a half hour break. We went Japanese and sat on the floor.

Nicole Tan PJ and I. 1991's.

Szehui said: Don't smile! Act natural.

Lefties.

Koko Krunch to fill our stomachs.

Gideon (I think that's his name!) and Szehui.

The secret

Dear.....

I am writing to say my huge passion for you

is over. In fact my total boredom

grows daily. The more I think of you, the more

tedious you seem. Sadly, the more

I feel this way, so the more I know I must

confess that I really never meant to

ask you to marry me. Our last date proved

there's absolutely no way on earth

I could spend my life with you!

Your revolting habits would depress me.

Being with you would overwhelm me with

misery and glum, and I'd never feel any

happiness, even in the smallest thing.

I know this is cruel, but

I really do mean it. I desperately hope

you accept gracefully and won't say

you long to marry me! You really are

lacking any resemblance to

the marvelous person I first thought.

I can't pretend

I long for your reply.

Now read it again, leaving every other line.

Keep holding on

On Saturday he said:

In life you get signs that show you things. I'm sure you'll see yours sooner or later.

The sign he was talking about is a note he mailed to me.

Your fault

During the Psychology 1B lab session on Friday, the tutor talked about Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Showed us some pictures, and asked us to describe what we see.

For this picture, I shared with the class what it looks like to me.
I said that the man and women are a couple, and they have just had a fight.

Such projective tests are used to assess personality, and the person is assumed to project their unconcious feelings, drives, and motives onto the ambiguous stimuli.

But a downside of the test is that it may not always be true. The tutor then said something like: Say for example, what she has described may not neccesarily mean that she has a problem in her relationship.

I interrupted the tutor and went Oh, no no no.

I do pay attention during psy lab, and not just Facebook throughout the two hours.

So you think you can dance?

I miss dancing.

From rock and roll. Point step point step back step. Windmill. Point step point step, Whee (spin).

To samba. I love the samba walk. Even better is dancing in a circle and switching partners after a whole sequence.

To rhythm foxtrot. Slow slow quick quick. Slow slow quick quick. Slow quick quick slow a-quick quick.

To paso doble. One two hip hip. Very sexy.

Home is the place

Friday evenings after class were spent at Paul's place. Occasionally we'll attend mass. Sometimes I'd take a nap while he does gardening. Afterwards we'll have dinner at home, and go out to get dessert from the pasar malam. Then there'll be the problem of What to watch? when we eat, and we'd end up settling for How I Met Your Mother.
The product of good orthodontics and even better skin care.

Come back already.. I want to eat the nice desserts :-)

Running to stand still

Met Rachel for dinner on Sunday when I went down to Singapore. Our usual meet up plan is very simple: Just sit and have a long meal where we can talk all we want. Funny stuff outside Raffles City.
Rachel, another meal when you come to KL soon?
