so the weather is hell hot, the drinks are fuck all pricey, and the people are just plain rude...so tell me why do i still love this place so much?

i honestly cant quite explain, but everytime im back in singapore, its like a whole new...thing. i dont even know how to describe it, but i think i kinda like it.

yesterday was quite terrific. hung out with sammii all evening, had coffee and dinner at indochine and had quite a wonderful and enlightening chat. have decided to live life a little, and let bygones be bygones. or something like that. my twin is just terrific, she really is.

headed down to zouk for femme quest with lynn and claud and all and had quite the entertaining time. i do so like dot, she's as cute as they get these days. and then theres my winkie, whom ive missed terribly since her departure from melbourne. and lastly, wakey and andrea and anne..they're so cute all. yummy prata supper at bkt timah ensued our reunion.

today was another day of reunion..of sorts. had coffee with my homie claud, and then dinner with lynn after. she's truly funny that one, so auntie and all. she and kevan are really the cutest ever. later, had drinks at indochine with my huney, diamond, and claud, whereupon claud makes a very NOT funny and almost rude geylang joke..HMPF big time.

at any rate, have just returned home from movie and drinks with anne. i know im kind of slow and all, but day after tommorow is really quite hell cool. sure, the plot and the lines were trite and shit, but conceptually it was interesting. plus, life is dreary as it is, its nice to watch a show that is in essence all about having hope and keeping faith. i think i like that alot.

i dont quite know whats going on tommorow with sam in JB and what not, but i think i will want to go out and do something, especially since work (in all likelihood..cross fingers) will start next week. i will give my friends a call since i have been a turd by not calling them since i came back. jun and all, i do apologize. :)

i miss melbourne and i dont care what anybody says, theres a ton of stuff to do in melbourne, and a ton of wonderful people to be surrounded with.

its not always rainbows and butterflies
its compromise that moves us along
my heart is full
and my door is always open
you can come anytime you want


goodbye melbourne, goodbye you.

contrary to popular belief, i have not died, nor have i run off with some hairy aussie dude into the deserts of darwin. i have been doing what i should have been doing all semester, that is, being a good student, and getting my work done.

but thats alright. i've got it covered. another 500 words and im home free. thats if sammii stops yapping away on msn. WAHAHAH. aww twinnie, i miss you like so freaking much. and we're only going to be apart for like 4 days? oh nose. i cant bear to think what'll happen in july. ok, not thinking.

last week in its entirety was spent with sam and jev, and i mean that literally. we ate together, watched tv together, did our work together. it was most fun. i dunno, i guess i just wanted to make sure me and sam could spend our remaining days in melbourne together all the time and not have to deal with low batteries, lousy Optus talk times, and pesky tram conductors.

i am still annoyed that i forgot the gist of my clever analogy of cheese and sluts. most upset. twin, do u remember? i was trying to tell claud about it, and then i forgot. most anti-climatic.

friday was heaps of fun at evo. it started off slow, with a majorly sleep deprived me and alvi and claud. jev and sam arrived a little..well ok alot later, and we had loads of fun laughing at ah-lian-in-the-house and guy-with-black-singlet-making-funny-hand-motions. winkie, i saw NNC (no neck cathy) and she was so totally bitching about me. that slut. and i dont mean that in a "yeah, im char and i likey the sluts" type of slut. ugh. angers.

saturday was fun party with claud and friends.

and sunday was just a really long day. after picking cyn up from the airport, we headed to 10am service at church. post church, shanghai. afterwhich, headed down to greville with claud and sham for some lazy sunday afternoon shopping. lazy shopping turned out to be pricey heavy shpoping. and now i am stuck with heavy books i know i am going to fuck myself over for when i realize how super heavy my luggage is.

claud has been the best. she'll listen to me whine and whinge about how me and sam used to do this and do that. say for example the car stopped at the traffic light on russell and lonsdale, where china bar and stalacites is, i'll go "oh claud, this place has super memories, thats where sam brought me the first morning i arrived", and all that stuff. you know how i get.

oh, i also bought an awesome book of digital art at the greville st bookstore. i have decided to turn it into an amazing scrapbook and call it something cheesy like "MELMORIES" .. u know, melbourne memories. HA. but really, it'll be a teriffic scrapbook thing , although i think i am quite loath to call it a "scrapbook". anyhow, claud left me a funny little note in it. i do love that homie to bits and pieces. sometimes i tink i just want to hug her, but seeing the way we both are, i think it would not sit too well with her.

dinner at shoya tonight with claud and nick and joey. i do so love green tea ice cream with red bean. i also do love vegetable tempura although i think the one at tokyo garden was nicer. but still, overally yummy, complete with funny waitress and her "banana pancetta". i still dont know what the hell she was trying to say.


the dandy warhols - you come in burned
