kyoo wa muika desu.
another dreary grey day. it was a little grey on saturday, quite grey on sunday, and really grey today. ah well. but today is mummy's birthday!! i managed to wish her birthday at 12am on the dot. she must be having dinner now or soon. then after dinner, we'll wait for daddy to come home, and we'll all sing her a birthday song, except me. maybe i'll secretly singg here and maybe the strains of my voice will be carried by the wind halfway across the globe =P

otooi wa yokka dshita.
woke up really late - a usual saturday morning thing. well but the day got interesting. supposed to meet yoch at 2.30pm outside the chinese supermarket with jo and yy. but jo had to study and yoch was err i dunno, so we changed to 3.30pm. we were slightly late, took such a long time deliberating over what noodles to get, and bumped into yoch's fren (whom yoch talked to for some time), so by the time we got all our ingredients, the sun had set - like literally cos the sun sets here at about 5pm o_O well anw the party is supp to start at like 5pm o_O so we rushed back to yoch's place, it's not funny carrying like 1kg worth of grocery, braving the impossibly strong wind (like everytime it blows, jo and i get buffeted. it's not funny seriously, and running across the huge Meadows. (as in the place is called the Meadows o_O) well we had a little teeny problem with the curry chicken, ie yoch who was supp to teach us and who learnt it the day before kind of forgot the receipt. so yy and i just mixed everything tgt and hoped it worked out. it didn't really taste right. haha! well it was ok. we had lots of mini-disasterss, the drying of the noodless (with a hairdryer by william) and how the electricity tripped every 5 mins, so we had to station hianliang at the main switch o_O, the plucking of the beansprouts (and the thereafter giving up). haha. but anw in the end, it was all polished off by 12 hungry ppl =P the szechuan noodles were highly valued =P yays. it was good ok.. and of cos our beloved finale - our 6 tubs of ice cream.. phish food, chunky monkey, oh my apple pie, dublin mudslide, bailey's!! and strawberry from haagen dazs (the one with the gorgeously yummy strawberry chunks which i made kenny buy for me but william polished it off =( but i am nice and generouss and i admit i ate ahemm qutie a bit.) okk it was haevenly. boy do i love ice cream =)

kinoo wa itsuka deshita.
went to the gym to burn off the icecream - need i say more? haha.
then it's guy fawkes' day. didn't really think we'll be doing much, cos everyone was so nua today. so i (tried to) study and went for an early dinner. we were trying to psyche everyone to go up arthur's seat to watch (and set off hopefully) fireworks. ok but we din get fireworks (quite sad). but anw, the fireworks were cool. there were the noisy ones that end in an anticlimax nothingness, the sparkly ones, the erupt into flames, and the little flames then erupt into a burst of stars. the pretty purply ones. the ones that stroke across the sky, leaving behind glittery dust. the ones that make interesting squiggles in the sky and manymany more. it was all around me. here a bang, there a whoosh, we were stuck at thebottomish of the hill cos we were so awed, and we couldn't focus enough to climb. haha. it was so pretty. u guys got to see it man. and like we looked over the city, the orange sodium lamps dotting the landscape, tracing innumerous roads, and then across the city, as if in a universal common thought, fireworks erupt everywhere. and from halfway up the hill, it seems as though the lights are escaping form the streets into the black crisp air in an attempt to reach their fellow stars. it's so pretty. but all the photos look stupid. haha! cos we haf shaky hands, and cos the 'night' mode of the camera, leaves the shutter open for a long timee. we haf some pretty cool effects though. anw talking about cameras, i took out my camera to capture the first firework of the night AND it said 'low battery' and konked out o_O ok enough said.

anw, we had to go. cos arthur's seat caught fire!!!! some ppl wre getting pretty drunk. i noe it's bonfire night but.. err they aim fireworks at a farside cliff with bushes and stuff, and it caught fire, and the fire spread up the whole side of the cliff. it was fascinating; it was magnificent but it was morbid. there were at least a few hundred people on the cliff that night. it was dark, some people were on top of the hill. if the fire went out of control, and people ran, there would have been a stampede, and we were all kinda trapped in the valley by the growing ring of spectators. 5 fire brigade trucks came wailing up the road, and firemen came running out. by then we could see huge billowing smoke and the red of the flame illuminating the whole hill. but that was only up one peak. we went to eat fried mars bars later (to make up for the interruptino of our fireworks gazing). i shared with yoch okk so it's not so bad =P and byt he time we returned to pollock and looked at the hill again, we could see fire up another peak as well. two peaks ablaze in the dark of the night. the trail of fire slowly creeping up the dry autumn vegetation. it was scary but a new experience no doubt. anw blhablahblah, by the time i actually got to slp, it was 2.30am.

and here i am, 9.30am in the morning, having woken up at 7.55am for breakfast. i have a char siew bao in my room, beside me now.. long storyy. and this entry has been far too long so..
jya mata~
