i had a series of horrible dreams last night, kept on seeing people getting knocked down or run over by trains, and even dreamt of us taking our a's papers on mrt tracks. maybe cos i played too much sudoku before i went to bed so my brains were a bit uptight. or maybe it was cos of my once-in-a-lifetime experience of witnessing jeanette dropping my physics tys onto the train track and still managing to get it back in one piece. haha i don't know la, but for the whole day i felt quite disturbed by the dreams, i hope they aren't any bad sign or what haha.

met wanqing and we shared a bowl of ice kachang over which i told her some stuff. and wanqing being wanqing, poured gallons of cold water on me, which actually cooled me down and cheered me up (: heh yes it was good meeting you too. and i got tagged by her on her blog, which i believe is a total waste of time, but for her cold water i shall return the favour and do the thing another day ok (:

anyway, people have been calling me up and asking me online regarding my phone, thank you everyone! though it doesn't deserve such a hoo-ha la haha (: well maybe except for ely la cos now her morning-entertainment-source is gone. but hey there's still me who's more than willing to be your 24-7 live entertainment :D i still go to bed every night these few days wishing that when i wake up the next morning i'll realise it's all a dream and my phone's still there. and i spend too much time wondering where it is now and who's holding onto it and does the person check my calendar and realise it's justin's birthday today and so sends the little boy a happy birthday message? heh. wanqing and fionalee have been telling me that jiu4 de bu2 qu4, xin1 de bu4 lai2. but i don't want a xin1 de, not even one of the exact same model. i just want THE phone with THE stuff back.

and i really owe chunhan a big one this time, for calling me up to listen to my whining, and to cheer me up by jumping on the road like an idiot so that i could hear the thud-thud sound of that piece of metal over the phone, and not forgetting for lending me his physics papers fresh from the photocopy shop even before he got to take a look at them. heh i owe you a huge one ok, i'll pay back in kindness! piece of cake, i'm always so kind x)

oh and i read this on the periodical sent from harvard:

it was the third night on campus, and i decided to venture upstairs to see if anyone in my dorm was doing anything interesting. three hours later, i was drinking tea and having a deep conversation about south african politics with a group of people from around the world. after making a statement about racial dynamics in the post-apartheid society, i realised that the places represented in the room were nigeria, california, wisconsin, massachusetts, and south africa. everyone had a unique and insightful perspective, with a wonderfully singular experience shaping his or her beliefs. it was probably the best discussion i've ever had, as we stayed up late into the night talking about whatever it was that came up. as i dozed off to sleep that night, i understood how lucky i was and how much of a better person i would become with such people around me each day.

heh a bit lengthy, and i don't know if it's more of a propaganda, but i'm quite sure it states the exact reason that attracts me to overseas unis. and ely! if you are reading this, pardon me for my dearth of knowledge on US unis and tendency to state stereotypes. i hope you can find the right person to talk to soon. and if you need someone with thick skin to accompany you to consult mr booth so that you can be saved from asking him silly questions, you know you can get me (:

and first step to qualifying for an overseas university: i should stop wasting time moaning over things (and people) that are lost and will never come back to me. move on move on!
