the four right chords can make me cry

i screwed up my computer... so blogging from my bro's comp today.

Today me and darren went to Tea Party, which is in sixth avenue, near my old house. I'm a sucker for nostalgia, (at least, the fragmented, scanty memory that constitutes nostalgia for me), so i insisted we walk around a bit before going home. Made me think about the past a lot, who i was, who i am now. and since i didn't have my computer to entertain me at home, i went and dug up all our old photos. I was quite freaking cute as a baby... don't know how come i've always imagined myself to be an ugly baby and kid. i think low-self esteem does that to you.

anyhoo, to summarise the past few days... Tea.

1)Exam teas.
it was really hard to start talking to people at first. but i'm glad i mustered up the courage to do it in the end. for non-vcfers, exam tea is when we invite people studying in the library to join us for some hot drinks and biscuits, and from there just talk to them and get to know them. it's kinda weird starting a conversation with a stranger, i already find it hard to start conversations with people I already know. but evangelism is not about me! so just had to put aside my awkwardness, and i think it was good. some people are really friendly, most want to know why we are spending our time doing this.

2)A nice cup of tea and a sit down.
Me and serene had such a good laugh over this! but if she's staying over again this sat, we are gonna be sleeping early!

3)Tea party.
do a bit of publicity for this place, which is mark choo's brother's place. (don, for those of you who know him. oh yeah, speakin of which, i just got an email from Dr Lo saying that Dr Don recommended me for the job of writing assistant which is what i really wanted!!! YAY!) ANYWAY.
fantastic range of teas there. Me and darren had this student's meal, was quite substantial and only came up to $10 each. if you go there, MUST try the duck pizza. picture the crispy duck skin and succulent meat encased in cheese! had strawberry cream and pieces iced tea, huge scones with jam and cream (mmmm cream...), and mushroom soup!

have some more thoughts... but its already 3:42am. some other day, whenever my com gets fixed. hopefully i don't lose everything.
