the four right chords can make me cry

bang, ang, ty and me

I'm so HAPPY! Ty (see photo) called me on my handphone this morning. Didn't really understand what she was saying, (I caught "email mai dai" and "chok dee") but it was good to hear from them anyway. I say them because I could hear at least one other kid in the background trying to get a word in. I didn't think they'd actually call me, but they did! In more ways than one, my thailand expedition was really NOT an "exercise in tokenism" (to quote tim), unlike most other expeditions. Although we can hardly understand each other, I sincerely do miss the people in the village. I will understand them better after thai1 this sem! Yay! Really looking forward to that =)

I had a good time meeting Esther and her friends yesterday. Dinner at Mumtaz Mahal was exceptionally yummy!!! Tandoori chicken, papadum, naan, curry, briyani and ice cream! Thanks so much to Bala, who was wonderfully nice about the whole thing. He even called again to check if everything was ok. Esther, if you're reading this, Hi! Hope you had as much fun as I did =)

Then we went to Chinablack! Meet joel, ben, timo, gabs and kel (in order of appearance). Then later Anne joined us as well. Honestly, I was kinda worried that my 3 different groups of friends wouldn't integrate, and I would have to shuttle between all 3 in an attempt to ease the awkwardness which i'm not terribly good at, being so awkward myself. Especially worried that Anne might feel out of place, cos none of my other thailand trip friends came. (I really wish I had gone out to see Pema tho! Twin sister leh...) But it turned out pretty well, everyone had a good time and I was pretty happy. Chinablack? Drinks were practically non-alcoholic, music got really bad at some stages, and they seem to believe that dancefloor is to can is to people is to sardines. (people who've taken SAT will understand that analogy). But hey, it was good in the end because the excellent company more than made up for it. Thanks guys, I had fun, but I don't think i'll be going clubbing again any time soon, my mum will think I'm become pai kia and I anticipate a clamp down.

do six impossible things before breakfast!
