We hold hands across the table. The conversation is intense, and perhaps the woman two tables over believes we are lovers. I sip lemonade through a straw as the cadence of your words wafts around us like glacial breezes in a heat wave.

It's Sunday, and it's 28hours before meeting Aurelio. Yep, Yap and I will be meeting guy selling Aurelio tomorrow and I hope everything goes well because I love the phone much much!

Anyway, I was reading my January entries just now. It's a long story as to why I was reading Jan entries but anyway and I found this.

2009 New Year resolutions.

1. TO BE spiritually healthy. That includes:

• No more gambling. OHMYGUANYINGMA I DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT.
• Never to take up smoking/drinking so much I get drunk.

Like, don't you think it's so easy to take on the wrong path at this age? So many people waste themselves away. Some are friends, some are acquaintances, and sometimes looking at them makes me really afraid I'll become them just to fit in.

But then again, gambling isn't that bad... is it? Meh. Okay, I'm quitting gambling. I'll only play no-money Mahjong from now onwards. Or maybe from after CNY onwards. :)

2. TO BE physically healthy. That includes:

• Exercising.
• Less junk food. Yong tau foo ftw.
• More veges (difficulty 4.5 stars).
• Drink more water per day.

3. TO BE happier. 2008 was such a depressing year, with Ananas haunting us every other day in school. Teachers kept going on and on about how seniors regretted not working hard during their term, or how if we don't start now, we'll never start (that's really true), or how it's never too late to start, or so on. I hope 2009 will be happier even without the big C called Concession. I will also:

• Continue keeping in contact with close friends. Like Sokmui/Priscilla/Naomi and Mel/Yixin/Sheralyn and MY ABT :D and yadah yadah. The NJ people helped make my life in NJ more bearable. (How else can I survive Chemistry/Econs without Bugs doodling with me?)
• Be nicer (I'm already nice) to Minghan, and make him less 重色轻友 so Laimeng will stop complaining about him.
  
• Watch more Spongebob.
• Regret less.
• Spend more time with my family.

4. TO BE more enriched. Ohyes, I want to take up classes if I have the time and moolah to. Probably after I stop work in like June/July. And before I start classes in uni (hopefully). Or while I'm at uni. Take up extra classes like:

• An instrument. Probably a harmonica. Or a flute (thinks of conversation last night with Pris and gang... Okay maybe not.)
• Yoga/Calligraphy.
• Art classes HAHA.

Haha, I think I'm failing utterly in my new year resolutions made some 8 months ago. Some things already don't apply anymore, anyway. But no more gambling is really funny. I wonder what made me say that. I miss yong tau foo though. There's something about Deck's yong tau foo, it's not superb but I keep feeling like eating it. =0

I should get back to having regular meals because I keep getting hungry at the weirdest times. (4am, hungry, breakfast; 3pm, hungry, lunch; 9pm, hungry, no food to eat, skip dinner; 12am, too hungry, maggie) My mum keeps saying, at this rate, I'll have more than 30 health problems when I grow old. Except she's not bothered by it because in her exact same words "ni hai nian qing". Ohkay lor, aha.

I'm gonna bathe and get some tutorials done. I'm an aspiring mugger (said since 2005). But I'm hating Linguistics more and more, not just because the stuff's really technical and doesn't make sense to me, but more because I really hate the clamshell lecturer because nothing can be done about my Friday tutorial slot. I know I shouldn't blame her, but there's no one else I can blame. And being angsty kid, I blame the teacher. So, damn you clamshell Linguistics department for giving me a Friday 3-4pm tutorial slot when Friday is supposed to be my free day. What crayfish.

Seriously, I can go on ranting about the Friday tutorial slot forever. Why will they schedule a Friday 3-4pm timeslot? The fact that it has the most number of vacancies (15 slots left after two rounds of balloting, what?) goes to show not many people want it right. Won't it make better sense to reschedule the whole class instead of telling us how much they sympathise our situation (I really do sympathise your situation. However, please understand that there's no crayfish we can cook, because our department is pretty screwed and I can't be bothered to spend more time trying to make your life work when I can better spend time watching Transformers, Garfield Edition. Nevermind there's no Garfield Edition in Transformers, that's the whole point, don't you see, we'll rather do things that don't matter.)

Alright, that's just rant. Skip that. The lecturer's doing much by emailing us stuffs to answer nerds' questions. Not that I read them, but spare her the credit since at least she bothers, or looks like she bothers, okay?

Sian. The more I think of it, the more sian I become. Ohwells, at least there's Aurelio to cheer me up tomorrow! Bling ftw!

Alright, bathe and get tutorials done. I'll mug till I become root beer (stupid old joke). Byebye!

12:42:00 PM because I say so
