haha you're funny too

Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

Flowers fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have their seasons, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me!

the coffee from booth X at the careers fair today is working wonders for me at this small hour of the morning. well done coffee bean! anyway, law careers fair today was not a disappointment there was complimentary food to be had --> money to be saved + happiness to be eating sth other than canteen food. it was rather saddening that we were discriminated against because of our age; we were denied gifts because we're year 4. do not discriminate! treat older workers equally! :p that aside, this is my last careers fair and next year, i'll be the one at the booth (hopefully) trying to convince kids that the office where I'm sweating blood at is fun and merry land. such a sobering thought and once again, i sigh for my age.

i do not take well to gambles that turn out badly on hindsight. yes i know hindsight is 20-20 and that there's no point crying over spilt milk, but i just feel such a sense of waste and wahlao-ness when something better subsequently comes along. a few weeks ago, we thought that our $1.4k flight to San Fran on NWA was a great deal, and based on the knowledge we had then, it really was a good $500 or so cheaper than the average flight. but today, there's some pre natas promo on cathay for just $1.1k. arggg cathay service and flights are so much better! i would feel some pain if the flight was also $1.4k too, much less even cheaper. sigh, i shall fly vicariously through Adr who will be taking that flight 2 hours later than us. but if life were an open book and u knew the ending before it came, any decision wouldn't really be a choice then would it? would you rather be satisfied with every decision you make, or choose to live for the day and relish the rights and celebrate the wrongs? somehow, i might actually want to read the story of my life.

OMG! i can finally blog! OK, even though its 3am, i shd post something in case this joy is short lived...
yep, i just got back from the party i planned for khel and i'm glad that everyone left full and "liquidated". they liked the cake that ying, sm and i baked, the food that people made/ bought was yummy, we critiqued and found flaws in the storyline of some HK show together, albert went on a crazy rampage making the k(h)elvins drink beer in some super quick mode; some people handled the mess better than others (pictures will reveal) and it was generally a good get together =) Christmas time is coming, which means the festive/ year end celebration, revelry and feasting will commence, which is not good for the exercise regime at all. but heck, the good times tip the opportunity cost scale conclusively.

now for some veryyyy overdue photos. blame vox for preventing me from blogging the past 2 weeks or so!

// group photo of the day // ying getting china girl bangs which she hated // ping's bday dinner at la nonna. wonderful pizza! // bday girl struggling to pop the champagne that the manager very kindly treated us to // ping n her girls //

before the exam month of november arrived, there was october, and before october ended there was halloween. and on halloween night, we went to show off our *amazing brainiac know-it-all* skills at the quiz at penny black. we won a whole lot of drinks (1x rose wine, 3x jugs of beer) and ordered some more, so that made for a high spirited night. hur hur. i'm glad to announce that both team N*US A and B trounced "the others" in the 1st 3 categories of alcohol, shopping and music; too bad we're not couch potatos or jocks so we lost out on tv and sports. it was more fun than the strait-laced thing i'd expected, and when our powers combine, we could actually answer some of the weirdest questions around! ok, rather fewwww la, but still, we did quite well.

// we like rose wine // slow dancing in a burning room // aunt peggy mae with the prune face // the females // chug //

the 2nd edition of gotham photos to be up next time.

our localised celebration of oktoberfest at kr50... for the poor post exchange guys, i'm sure this was but a mere shadow of the past, but well, beggers can't be chosers, especially pre-exam beggers.

// eating is a very exacting art // you're my wonderwall // hark who goes there // us again // kong starting to get tipsy not too late into the night //

// high, literally // a rather freaky art installation in the yong siew toh conservatory lobby // having some fun as the guys cowered by the sides // hello can you be my friend? // min // pet //

// wonder why we took such gender specific photos. hmmm no wait, there's a sistah in the guys' shot // wendy and her beer // candleburn // cheerios //

and then on halloween night, there was beer, wine, mirth and merriment again at the pub quiz. good stuff, especially since the booze is much sweeter when it's won and earned. clubbing with vampires, pharoahs, walking bedsheets, pale faced people with bad makeup made for an exciting night. the photos will come soon, but for now... i have to study for an exam in 5 days! fug.

// lonnngggg ago in september, we went for mortini hour // cutesy pop tart aka tart // nice photo of my girls // the intricate gold carving on the wall that probably contains some good confucian values that the more erudite might understand // Yes i know even october is over already, hrmph, i'm late so that you can reminisce ok! //

// spiderwoman in her early halloween get-up // sometimes, even bimbs can be quite bright // pretty cars // fast cars zooming around the marina square area //
