Years of playing competitive soccer have taken their toll on my legs. It rained today and my right ankle started to hurt and swell. Apart from that, I guess it was a pretty good day, when I wasn't expecting to have one. This was my thought as I was sitting in Tweety's car on top of Sheares Bridge, the jam at the Rochor exit affording us a good view of the city in the evening rush hour, Mayday playing on the stereo, while storm clouds loomed off on the far left.

Had lunch with Prof Anthony Chin today, duck rice at south buona vista, and he was of the opinion that I am good enough for something better than working in the FAS. I think it's really great that a professor and his student can become friends and I promised that after I get a job, the next lunch would be on me. Next I bought a book from the Co-op, Slow Man, by J.M Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, according to the New York Times Book Review, it is " Beautifully composed, deeply thought, wonderfully written." It starts off well enough.

Spent some time in the library surfing the net, letting the food digest and then popped in to the econs honours room to look in on the people studying there and then Yasa called, which led me to Katong where we battled it out at Command and Conquer Generals. After the rain, Yasa went home to sleep and I went to Tweety's place fiddled with his Xbox 360 for awhile waiting for the ERP to pass. I left my bike there and he drove his Impreza AWD down to Fish and Co at Novena for dinner with our friends from hall- Clare and Elgin and my friends from econs - Martha, Olivia and Kenneth, well they all became friends after I introduced them to each other. Clare commented that I looked really tanned, but I haven't really been out in the sun alot, plus its been raining so much, so I really don't know. It was an enjoyable dinner and I was trying my best to stay in the different conversations of the 2 groups but in the end I decided to bridge the gap by giving a magic performance, which turned out to be a comedy perfomance.

Martha thinks a sunshine girl will be just right for me and everyone else agreed. The hard part is that I have to convince the sunshine girl that everything will be alright.We stayed till Fish and Co closed and then Tweety let me drive his all-wheel-drive Impreza, down to the new Marina Pier which looks really pretty at night.



I just love this mtv, ~ along a beach, a boy with floppy hair covering his eyes and a girl who deals tarot cards, a cursor of the fate which links them.And years later, all grown up, they kiss with soft snow falling down over the beach. Dunno why it just sounds better, with a tempo slightly faster than the radio version. The beach house is just beautiful.

you have stolen my heart.
