i'm kind of tired. it was a good meet-up though:) i haven't laughed so much in a long while.. i miss my laughing fits. which earned me one of my nicknames. happily, a semblance of my fits returned today, which is quite rare nowadays. wonder why. forgotten how to laugh? forgotten how to be silly and not care and just enjoy it? i'll miss them loads in sept and in the months to come.. it's easier to be jaded than to be happy. haha oh dear i realised how bad that sounds. reminds me of the sloth at the biodome.. fungus grows on it cos it moves so slowly. i think it's just my current mood. i certainly hope so, if not there is a huge problem.

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
Of course I have played outdoor games. I once played dominoes in an open air cafe in Paris.
Fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Society produces rogues, and education makes one rogue cleverer than another.

wow, this is the first time in many many days i've slept so much:) very satisfied, albeit a little woozy. fell asleep at 8pm yest, woke up at 6+, went back to sleep till 10. yay!:p
and i have discovered the quotes from the first month of j1.. they're hilarious! here's my all-time favourite..
context:
Ms Eva Hor was lecturing us on water, and giving an example of how water is incompressible (and therefore able to support large aquatic animals) "The whale is the largest mammal and it lives in water."
Raphael (who had obviously taken a dislike to her) "She wins the whale because she lives on land and she's the largest mammal"
I think it's the way he said it that's so funny.. "she wins the whale" I really think all his future patients will love going to him..
anyway church camp.. the girls rather surprised me a little. as in, they had a lot to say about other people. and i helped with the children's class! haha. some of them have perfected the ability to drive pple mad.. guys who don't stop talking (esp at the top of their voices), girls who are petty and don't stop complaining.. but there're nice cute kids too of course.
i'm quite glad i went, except for the fact that i got cornered by the visiting preacher.. who so coincidentally happens to be based in california. i got introduced to him because pple found out i'm going stanford so i'm quite obliged to go to that congregation unless he miraculously forgets about me. dunno whether that's good or bad also.. it takes like 1.5h to get there from stanford. i guess we'll see what happens.. luckily the girls rescued me the second time i got cornered cos they wanted to take photos. haha.
yeah! finished all my forms! woohoo~ haha i was quite high after that. anyway i still haven't finished packing oops. nevermind.. off i go.. first time to msia (hahaha yes i noe i'm the champion) be back on thurs afternoon.. hope i don't forget to pack anyth!
haha. lunch at this restaurant near my old house was funny. the waitress brought the bill, my dad was holding his credit card, getting ready to look at the bill and then place it in the black thingy (whatever it's called). and then the waitress (old lady) just took the card and the bill away before my dad looked at the bill. i've never seen pple do things like that.
and just now i took a nap (had to, given the 3 hours in the morning. and i finally fell asleep and had quite a gd nap!) and my mom woke me up at 7. i opened my eyes, looked at the time, couldn't figure out whether it was night/morning (it was semi-dark), started panicking because my first thought was that it was morning and i was supposed to go for camp and i hadn't finished my forms. "is it morning or night?" mom was very amused "night" clar heaves a huge sigh of relief. k i don't know why i immediately thought it was morning. maybe cos it felt like a gd long sleep. but it was sufficiently alarming to wake me up.
yay i shall get this done fast so i can sleep more later haha
