Stuck in Reverse

Took a short break from blogging for C4. But now I'm back. It really is quite a commitment to blog but I want to make it a point to post consistently and for an indefinite period of my life.

I miss Paris

Today, I am going to blog retrospectively starting from this current time.
It's 11.58p.m., sitting quite pensively alone in my room at home listening to Carla Bruni. She's this really talented French artist married to the French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Many fans are disturbed by this. Well, I don't really care. I really love acoustic French music of this kind because you don't understand what the artist is singing but it still sounds really beautiful. Have a listen:



A while before this I finished an episode of Chuck which was quite sad. Chuck and Hannah ended their story arc. :( I hate how Chuck episodes either end really extremely happy and awesome or really quite sad or frustrating. It's always one or the other. The only remedy to resolving either of those outcomes is to watch another episode! Well, self-discipline dictates that I watch a maximum of one episode a day. This is for fear of finishing the series too quick like I did with Scrubs and then getting really sad because it was all over and I couldn't do anything about it. Heh.

Today CNY holidays began. In a way I was looking forward to it as a good break from everything. On the other hand, it did begin and it felt quite normal, quite anti-climactic. Perhaps it will get better. See, most Chinese kids would have much to look forward to during Chinese New Year. But for me, I feel that the new year's tradition has somewhat died out. Oh well, we'll be optimistic and see how it goes.

Two nights before that, Win Sern, Dzarif and I had a hilarious night-time hang out session in my room. With Dzarif on the guitar we chose songs and found the chords online and subsequently proceeded to sing out the songs (horribly) karaoke style! Just for kicks we found chords to a Jay Chou song that neither I nor Dzarif knew.
Dzarif played it although he did not know the timing. 
Win Sern sang along even though he was tempo and tone deaf. 
Me the non-Chinese-speaking Chinese did my best to sing along too. 
FAIL! In any case, we all had a great laugh at how horrible and incoherent we sounded.

Minutes later at midnight, Pitipat walks in with a handful of Korean food and sits down with us while we were thinking of which song to sing next. Suddenly he goes like, "Oh, I have a song for you guys to sing for me. It's called 'Happy Birthday'." We didn't realise it was his birthday! Poor guy; we did sing him birthday anyway and in four languages too.

Well, why, in the first place did we have an impromptu "karaoke" session that night? It was a celebration of a few things.Well, earlier that night, I had just finished my C4 Maths. Yes, the last Maths module for me! No more Maths classes, no more Maths exams. I was super happy and the exam went really well too. Aces. :) Even earlier before that, Win Sern threw a surprise party for his girlfriend. (Eh, Win Sern, *pointing* foooyyooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!! :P Excuse the inside joke)

The best part was that he bought bubble wands for us to play with! We were having so much fun even before Jovi was there.

 Everyone was really excited by the bubbles. It was like going back to our childhood. Yes, we were all upper sixers, but for that short half hour we let the child inside us play and laugh and forget the worries of young adulthood. Everyone except for CT who just doesn't like bubbles.

sullen-faced and in blue: "I hate bubbles."

As for the rest of us, we were having a jolly good time.

Mind you the birthday girl had yet to arrive.

Sarah BK was really good at blowing huge bubbles. Hence the nickname, Bubble King. (BK - Burger King, but it's bubbles not burgers? Get it? :/ ) HAHA!

Well Jovi finally came. We sang we clapped. They hugged. It was so sweet. :)

Love this pic

 The only sad part was the candles which were inextinguishable were lit too early and hence melted the cake.
:(

Nevermind. We ate it anyway. Everyone was happy. Especially these two. :) :) :)

Alot more has happened before this but the interest of time, or more importantly sleep, I will save it for another day.
