[ clubbing without u guys ] 

went to phuture last night.. finally. week after week i keep having the urge to club, but when wed or fri rolls by (and pasts), i never end up clubbing. till last night, at least..

went with eric and his friends.. really missed u guys alot when i saw all the groups of girls dancing wildly, having the time of their lives.. then all the songs started playing..

karma first. diana!! it's ur song now! made me think abt u(us) dancing, and cheryl too =D eric says that the song reminds him of diana too =)

then wanna get to know u- cheryl =D heheh and it reminded me of oye me canto aka erwin's song..

and alot of other stuff too.. like jon chan's mambo moves, how we would point at jac cos she can't stand it, dancing together with daph and di, getting high and having alot of fun =)

this time i stayed till 3. the music degenerated from 1+ onwards -_- got abit sianing and the tempo slowed down. my highness coincided with the highest point of the music last night, with sean paul's shake that thing and some other fast nice songs =D that was really fun (or maybe just the alcohol =)

miss u guys lots. am considering not clubbing till u guys return..

[ 爱我别走 ] 

我到了这个时候还是一样 夜里的寂寞容易叫人悲伤
我不敢想的太多 因为我一个人 迎面而来的月光拉长身影
漫无目的地走在冷冷的街 我没有你的消息
因为我在想你 爱我别走 如果你说 你不爱我
不要听见你真的说出口 再给我一点温柔

[ disappointment ] 

human beings are hardy creatures. they can survive without food. they can survive with all kinds of pollution.

but yet. a small simple thing called disappointment eats up your insides very quickly and cleanly.

[ origami making ] 

origami is a fine pursuit. it takes alot of patience and heaps of time, but when it's done it's really satisfying =D did this 30 unit 60 degree modular star, and it's so pretty! spent hours at the orchard library doing it with yvonne.. and smart us didn't bring the book out, so we had to figure out how to piece it together.. damn fun! =D and folding the 30 units is v therapeutic =) steps shown below:

step 1: one unit looks like this

step 2: one piece contains 3 units

step 3: halfway through, with many pieces attached together

this is the first successful attempt =D completed ball! yvonne pieced this together

and...... -drumroll-

my final product!! so proud of it!! i pieced this all by myself!! =D

[ i'm a (closet) rabid, rabid fan...... ] 

oh man i think i'm suffering the aftereffects of being starstruck. i'm actually wondering if having a job would justify the purchase of a US$200 special edition of neverwhere.......

no, i didn't act on that impulse. i don't have a job yet. but well.. just wondering =D heh heh heh...

at kino.. that's after the kino signing.. someone posted it on the message board =D thought it was really cool, but haven't been down to kino to see the real thing (if it was actually left there..)

have been reading his blog and the message boards.. it's really funny =D

from his post:

5) Eat first. I'm not kidding. If it's a night-time signing of the kind that can go on for a long time, bring sandwiches or something to nibble (some signings with numbers handed out may make it possible for you to go out and eat and come back. Or you may be first in line. But plan for a worst case scenario of several hours of standing and shuffling your way slowly around a store). (If it's a daytime signing somewhere that a line may snake out of a store into the hot sun, bring something to drink. I always feel guilty when people pass out.)

i wonder if like at concerts, do fans pretend to pass out so they can get closer to neil gaiman? oh but i guess that only works if there is actually a backstage to begin with, right?

6) You may be in that line for a while, so talk to the people around you. You never know, you could make a new friend. I've signed books for kids whose parents met in signing lines (although to the best of my knowledge none of them were actually conceived there).

hehe actually it's fun to make new friends.. inspired me to be a rabid fan (in my own rights =)

7) Don't worry. You won't say anything stupid. It'll be fine. My heart tends to go out to people who've stood in line for hours trying to think of the single brilliant witty erudite thing that they can say when they get to the front of the line, and when it finally happens they put their books in front of me and go blank, or make a complete mess of whatever they were trying to say. If you have anything you want to ask or say, just ask, or say it, and if you get a blank look from me it's probably because I'm slightly brain dead after signing several thousand things that day.

that reminded me of how sad i was for not being able to talk to him. it either didn't occur to me that i can talk to him, and it's a him, not a signing machine =D it was fun seeing him talk to erwin's friend maddy, and laughing at what he said =D and!! i really really like his books (well i haven't tried american gods, but...), but i thought it'll be really dig-a-hole-and-bury-myself stupid if i went up to him and gushed about how much i love neverwhere.. for one, he always looks half-dead from all the signings, and also cos i'm all too conscious of the gazillion and one people behind me waiting for their turn.. so well, i can only mourn the fact that i was so close to be able to talk to him, but i didn't.

[ neil gaiman rox my (non-existant) sox! =p ] 

yay!!!!!! i'm so glad i decided to go for the neil gaiman book signing at kino on tues.. i'm a newly-minted neil gaiman rabid fan!!! =D don't ask me what came over yj and i.. we actually went shopping at bugis before the signing, and reached there close to 4.. when the signing was at 430.. the queue was CRAZY. there were like 500 pple in front of us.. all mad fans =D well anyway, we made friends with the pple in front and behind us..


gaiman fan-friends
left to right: alton, erwin, me, xiaohui, andrew, yj


gaiman signing
and this is neil gaiman signing xiaohui's no.13 death figurine =D cool stuff!

we were in the queue for abt 6 hrs.. =D pretty fun, actually.. and i bought the little endless storybook.. so cute!!!!! and neil gaiman signed them!!! =D will upload pics of them the next time =D yes i'm starstruck... he's so cool!!! and super nice =) we went to queue again the next day at borders.. ahh!!!! more photos soon heh

anyway, on tues night, spent a few hrs at starbucks (where else but our usual haunt?) with erwin and yj.. discussing our literary blog.. and yes! i actually have an idea! =D my brain feels rusty and underused (which is precisely what it is), think i can't write anymore.. but well. just heck la =D that was a v fun night.. we really should put up our iwonderhowlongwecankeepthisup.blogspot.com haha =D

wed was the date-date (to quote cheryl and erwin)... hmm ok i think i can finally understand why erwin was so insistent on his date-dates with cheryl.. anyway, it was a pretty bad idea.. ended up at california pizza kitchen, not talking, not doing anything.. then a minor fight, alot of public embarrassment, a few pieces of wet tissues, unfinished food.. the pizza wasn't nice =( the pasta was ok.. the spring rolls were pretty good.. anyway, we had to rush off for the movie.. war of the worlds! met yj and erwin on the way (half-running) to get the tickets cos we were late.. and my wonderful smart bf forgot to bring his card out, so. more time wasted trying to get his family members check his card, but no one was at home.. then a v v v v v nice manager just wrote us tickets for the show, no questions asked. how nice was that!!!!!!! this is good service pple normally expect, but after the disgusting service i got from the whole shaw management (diff departments -_-) and from s'pore as a whole, i'm stunned. maybe s'pore has hope after all =ppp

[ woozy ] 

woke up disoriented. was a bad night, woke up feeling thirsty and hot and cold all at the same time.. and i couldn't go back to sleep. when i finally did, it was some twisted dream.. a la gory films, kill the pple and they come back alive and trying to kill u.. argh was just hiding|dodging bullets (yeah these zombies don't bite or leak green slime, they use guns -_-)|trying to escape.. and help came in the form of some little girl stuffed in a backpack some zombie was carrying.. it was weird. felt weird. draining dream.

finally crawled up to a -horror of all horrors!- spring cleaning day. argh. something possessed my mum. wanted to clean the whole house.. but it's good la cos my room's like a war-hit zone. it's so terribly messy.. but argh packing and cleaning is not good for an achy body =(

anyway, tennis yday turned out ok after all.. was pretty lazy and tired, didn't feel up to tennis.. and anyway my tennis sucks. but it was fun.. think we were all pretty tired after that.. from laughing more than really playing tennis, i think =ppp anyway, badminton next weekend! and bowling some other day! =D yay can start losing weight [haha fat hope =( ] heh it was hilarious to see yj and erwin jumping around (and i bet i was equally entertaining to them =) and eric's whispered plot to get them crash into one another by hitting the ball in between them (cos they were so uncoordinated =DDDDD ) heh! it's much less embarrassing when all of us (excluding eric) can't play =)

and yeah, just a note: was listening to my ipod mini (yes!!! i got it back!! but it's a little screwy now ='( ) and i suddenly noticed the lyrics of "don't phunk with my heart".. think it's v fitting for erwin haha! =D

yay! going out tmr! =)
