Last night = BEST birthday bash I've ever had
I had arranged to meet Jen at orchard last night for dinner at Jack's place. We were supposed to meet at Taka Library coz I needed to borrow/return books. We arrived at the same time :p which was a very good start.
Now, I had to explain that I was in one of my depressive pits before I went to meet Jen. Was, in fact, half tempted to cancel coz I was so.. tired. I cheered up when I saw her though (mainly coz she was on time. haha) Nah. it was the way we "met" I was entering the lift when I heard her call my name :p so coincidental.
And guess what! "OMG CK!" (he walked in behind Jen) surprise surprise. I think Jen asked if he had dinner and he said no. So we dragged him along.
Then Tim came to the library to look for us coz I had asked Jen to check if he was free. So he "teleported" down. LOL. nah. he took a cab to meet us.
So I was.. relatively happy. And we all left the library to head to Jack's Place.
Only to bump into Shimin at the lift. I kinda entered the lift and didnt pay attn to who was in there. but Jen squealed.. so it was then i realized min was there :p
Soo.. we trooped down to Jack's Place and I was telling Jen it was wonderful coz our "2-person outing" became a party of 5. Then Min said something about her meeting Meng (that's why she was there, she said)
Soo.. my expected table for 2, became a table for 6 :p
Dinner was fun. I had the bloody (literally) steak I was craving for. It was good steak.. unlike that rubber-imitating-steak at Cafe Cartel. Min and Meng were having totally different conversations from the rest of the table at some point.. while the rest of us were talking abt a certain prof with a really weird name ( I will not say it here. but it was the butt of jokes the rest of the night), Min and Meng were talking about Meng's German supervisor :p and certain stuff about seeing half naked guys from her lab (it overlooks a rehab centre apparently)
Midway through dinner, Meng told me it was all planned. That life, honestly, isn't as coincidental as I thought it was. :p Jen had arranged for them to be at certain spots of orchard! *hugs jen* though it didnt happen exactly as she had planned it ( I was supposed to bump into Min at taka, THEN into CK and Tim at Paragon) Tim was like "Ohh, that was my station?" I laughed. but all was well coz it truely was coincidental the way we bumped into each other, ya get what I mean.
And they all wrote nice lil short birthday notes to me *dances* except Tim's was more like a composition/essay *laugh*
And Jen and Min got me a lil ting that said "I'm not fat, I'm fluffy" *laugh* ok, that's so me.
They got me a slice of Tiramisu (another surprise) and I thank the 2 of them for not getting the restaurant to play the cheesey birthday song (honestly, ppl with violent tendencies cannot listen to that song! *shudder*)
Made a wish, blew out the candle.. including the candle on the table :p
Then we trotted down to Acid Bar.. decided it was too drab after a drink.. and hopped over to Dubs.
They doused me with a burning waterfall. Then I had 3 shots of oatmeal raisin cookie *yum* and surprisingly I didnt even feel high. So we had a few more drinks here and there (Tim was egging me on.. he was! "if you drink this, i'll drink it with you" he said) We left at.. 12.30am?
I totally overdid it =( a cocktail, a burning waterfall and 7 shooters. no joke. Thank goodness I didnt accept Tim's offer of a flaming lumbo. *groan* I was telling Tim, never again. I left the pub and threw up in the cab. Tim stayed with me all the way and I've never been more grateful for his presence. Eternal gratitude for taking care of me last night :p
A million thanks to Jenny for arranging it all *hugs*
A thousand thanks to Tim for being my cab partner once again and making sure I was safe home (even though I now live on the other side of the country)
A million apologies to Tim for last night =/ No more Tequila. If I ever say I want some EVER again, knock me unconcious to stop me or something.
And many MANY thanks to CK, Meng and Min for coming. and apologies to CK (he was our credit card person) for burning your credit this month man. I hope your dad doesnt yell at you.
Let's do this again soon. with less alcohol :p
Thanks guys!

You scored as Libra. You get along best with the sign of Libra. Altough Librans may appears as fickle, or indecisive, they are wonderful friends to have. Librans constantly strive for balance; they do their best to make sure life runs smoothly and fairly for everyone. They are considerate, tactful, loving people. Who could posibly resist a Libran's charm =D ?? They are lovers of art and beauty. The only problem with Librans is that they can be very clingy and dependent upon others at times.

Listening to: Breathe - Blu Cantrell Feat. Sean Paul
I've noticed that I don't talk about Melvin all that much anymore. be it on the blog, or in my daily life. *ponders* Sometimes I wonder why it turned out to be this way. When you read blogs, there would be regular mentions of the "other half", so to speak.
It's not like you don't see his name at all. He just doesnt get mentioned.. much. His name pops up sporadically at the weirdest, most insignificant bits.
We had a conversation just now where he had me in tears in less than 5 minutes (which he apologized for) and promptly made up for it in less than 10 by making me laugh so hard, my sides ached.
And perhaps he is right. We complement each other rather well, but we simply, somehow, can't seem to communicate with each other. He, being afraid of how I'd react to certain things, chooses to keep certain stuff from me. Not lying per se.. more like conscious omittance of certain information. Or choosing to say stuff a certain way so i don't "take things the wrong way". And when I DO find out the bare truth, all hell breaks loose. Then I react by purposely omitting certain information myself. tit-for-tat. childish, yes. he says it's lame reasoning, but hey. That's the way I operate, mister. Anyhow, things then snowball to a point whereby we subconsciously dance around the main problem and never really TELL each other stuff.
Then Melvin will play the role of a brave fool and try to tackle the problem.
So far so good. I haven't clobbered him yet. And he hasn't lost his voice by spending an hour trying to get ONE point through. He IS long-winded =( what he spends an hour going on and on about, I can summarize in one sentence.
Our conversations are mostly like this:
Melvin: "blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah.."
Me: *eyes glaze over* "hold up. what you mean is blah and blah"
Melvin: *pause* yeah.
Me :*sigh*
*laugh* that naggiest guy alive, i'd bet.
God. how come I can be so annoyed with him at times, and feel/act like a complete sap at others?..
How can 2 ppl, so OBVIOUSLY not suited for each other (be it values, family background or personalities), be in bloody love?
life's a big fucking freakshow.

Listening to: Josh Groban - My Confession
Note to self: Need new songs.
Note to Jen: Send pls
Note to KF: where's that Twins song you said you'd help me get?
Note to Lianne: I want an SMU scholarship toooo.. (yeah RIGHT. if I ever get something like that, you can be certain the world's screwed over thrice)
Note to Marc: Be a Man *laughs* do the right fing! i.e. talk to her!
Note to Fongky: Thanks man( girl, whatever). for the talk.
Note to Jeremy: :p you remembered!
The good news is --> I've landed (begged/cajoled/charmed/batted eyelashes) myself into something remotely related to lab. One of the NUS profs is willing to take me in for a lil bit of training, at minimal pay. Part Time. ( all the better :p free time)
The Bad news --> only until October cause the "extra" grant money lasts only till then.
Even worse news --> I don't even know what i'm jumping into EXACTLY. For all you know, I'd be begging to head back to admin work after a week.
I like science. i DO. it's just.. research itself.. ya know. doesn't exactly.. suit my tastes. Come on guys, I'm like the laziest person on earth. Work just aint my cuppa tea. and the only reason why i don't want to do admin is coz it's soo.. "O"level, if ya get what I mean. I didnt spend 3 years in Uni to take a O level job .. ya know. But overall, admin isn't THAT bad. it's brainless and suited for lazy ppl like me.
Somehow, research just sounds better (which is a very lame reason for wanting that job). and yes, I dont have passion for it. Nor do I -really- want a PhD. Most PhD holders have screwy brains which I will nvr understand. they are of the intellectuals, I am not. so I will nvr fit in.
The prof did say there isnt much pt in doing lab work unless you want to get a PhD and draw lotsa money a month. okay, so she didnt say anything abt the money.. I was thinking it tho :p
I'm not the kind who would hand my life over to work. therefore, research isnt the way to go.
But hey, it's an opportunity! so i'm gonna give it a shot. and prolly end up taking some part-time marketing/business course as well (i'm gonna have to look at course fees.. class times.. "sponsorship" *giggles*)
Even more upheaval in my life. great.
