until i met this girl
who turned the tables around
she caught me by surprise
i never thought i'd be the one breaking down
i can't figure it out

sometimes i feel perhaps i might just do uni in sg instead of going abroad. even though the experience beckons but there's always going to be a little bit of inertia and all the "what ifs" in your mind. and of course the fact that studying locally'll mean that i wouldn't have to serve any scholarship bond (being tied down for 6 years doesn't seem like much initially, but it will probably seem like a lot once you're a fresh grad and staring the bond in its face). i've got the opportunity to do a double degree in social science and economics (dang i shoulda have put business management; i really can't foresee myself doing any more of that awful macroeconomic bullshit which i bumbled my way through in jc) in SMU. spanking new city campus and all, and i kind of like the vibe of the place. and SMU scholarships even have some kind of allowance, i've heard.

army market with ec yesterday, who was up in arms over the apparent disappearance of her ambush set. sierra's off for field camp from tomorrow, so she was understandably distraught when she realised that their section seemed to have misplaced the small gadget. "Aiyah I'll be confined till the end of service term la! How?" "Don't worry la! Ambush sets don't just disappear like that. You'll find it tomorrow when you book in!" "What happens if I find it after field camp?" "You'll find it TOMORROW la!" and so it went on and on and on and i bet you anything she'll find it later haha. pillioned on her bike to orchard after meeting up with yeeling and her boyfriend for all of ten minutes.

dinner yesterday was great- lots of laughter, tons of food, heaps of funny memories. not forgetting gs' unabashed showcase of her assets, which she never fails to do (i inadvertently remarked that they'd somehow increased in size, to which she was particularly elated). she kind of thrusts them in your face so you really have no choice, you see.

GS: (looking at her top) Hey I never realised that this top was low-cut!
Yours Truly: Well perhaps it wasn't low-cut before but maybe now it is because... because, uh, you know...
GS: (looking truly delighted) Oh really? (erupting into gleeful giggles)

so there you have it.

but a round table'd have been better because i could scarcely hear the people at the other end, and them us, so we ended up having two separate conversations going on at the same time. after dinner we adjourned to (where else?) lydia's favorite coffee place (which i fondly remember as the-place-with-twelve-dollar-flambe-coffee-and-who-the-hell-would-ever-pay-twelve-dollars-for-a-cup-of-ground-beans-and-water-with-a-stupid-blue-flame-on-top- well, perhaps lydia would, HAHA), TCC. so gs and i resorted to downing bacardi breezers from 7-11 (such cheapos, we are) and making monkey faces at the rest from the outside till we finished drinking. the TCC staff kept shooting us the oddest looks imaginable but they still gave us ice water with mint leaves when we returned which i thought was pretty nice of them.

i'm so
caught up
got me feelin' it
caught up
i'm losin' control
this girl's got a hold on me
