the past 72 hours has been a reprise of what my pre-student life was. noodle's bday dinner was a blast despite hiccups from the staff of heeren's nydc. horrid, horrid service. then mustafa for two that emptied my pockets but was unfortunately a little too crowded to enjoy properly. then drinks with ham fran june at indochine that included overpriced goreng pisang with icecream and further birthday celebrations for noodle at Home after which i was bored out of my wits and tits because since everyone dresses the same at poptart events, there's only so much to make fun of. typing all that out has just made me wonder, rather incredulously, how my body managed all of that and more, weekend after weekend, and often on weekdays too. all the people from a past life were there but moving around in different directions and speeds in the orbit we call life. i suppose i'm rather proud of myself for not throwing myself off the cliff into a dead-end valley like some of those that have. i'm not a lemming. or perhaps one, but with aspirations, ambitions and expectations. many, many pictures to come from these two days. many of which have disguised artfully, cleverly the rifts and fraying ties. pictures sure don't speak a thousand words, but they certainly are fun - if only for the moment[s]. speaking of pictures, for those who've stuck around since my spun-sugar days might have noticed that i hardly or never posted pictures of myself. i figured, what's the point, looks don't really matter beyond the words. then again, i used to take blogging a little more seriously then. but one thing i would never do is post up lists of things i bought. sure people read blogs but what makes bloggers think that their audience has a pressing need to know what and how much they spent on? it is just another frivolous, pointless need that is often more self-satisfying than anything else. very funnily, it is the same people who feel very individualistic and all 'oh don't judge me you twats' while not realising posting such time-wasting petty frivolities is just begging for people to create fodder for judgement.

the textual siege.
