Yesterday was NOD (Night of Decadence) Where people pranced around with almost nothing on. We all paid US$10 to enter a party with people so poor they couldn't afford to buy clothes. Most people went in underwear, some in leaves (so stricken they could only afford to stick two leaves on), others as a variety of animals including cats, tigers, the male reproductive organ, leopards and bananas. I went as a... shepard?
Check out the sheep on my boxers and the sheep on the side of my face. That's Jason who got a mohawk specially for this event. They tried to convince me, but I'm not that cool...

Raza went as a 'priest'. And no he didn't forget his pants.
And those are my briefs you're wearing Raza...

Abbie, Lauren & Mimi hanging out in my room pre-NOD (yes, it's got a couch!)

So NOD was yesterday. It's like a crowded day at Zouk with people without clothes on.

Blur picture of my roommate Raza, Lily, Casey and me.

Yesterday was screw your roommate day. Nope, not 'screw' your roommate, tt's just disgusting, but set your roommate up with a date from another college (college's are residential halls here) It happened that we got another pair of roommates to go out on a date. It wasn't too bad, we went for dinner and then split up after that. My date and I went to Jamba Juice, set down and talked about our childhoods, then walked back to Rice and played table tennis at her college. It was quite a nice date. It was 12 before I got back to my college, but I went to speak with some of my friends. I learnt that Americans aren't big on this solo dating thing. In fact, it's supposed to be abnormal if you go out on dates. Hmmm, interesting... I mean I don't go out on dates, I usually go out on shoes, but okay. haha.. ok not funny.

Yesterday we also had a freshman flag football match, two in a row in fact! The problem was that alot of people had screw your roommate dates, so there were only seven of us on the second game. (just nice the number required) We lost the first game, but we won the second game! 13-12, so it was worth it even though I turned up 20 minutes late for my date.

I thought I wasn't at my prime yet, but apparently i'm long past it! Yesterday, I went for badminton competition followed by freshman flag football at 7pm to 10+, then while playing football, I hurt my left thigh and my right ankle... This didn't even happen in NDU lah... wth, I think i'm getting old. all other 73 people, so are you guys too haha. so there. erm zhi... when can I have a massage for my legs? I'll pay! 五毛。。。 HAHahAHhAH.

so apparently, i look like this now that's my tummy and the two stick hands at the side. I've gained about 5 kg since coming here? and it's definitely not muscle weight. haha. At least I won't die so fast if another ice age comes.

Today I laughed so hard I fell off my chair. Or maybe Heater pushed me off... Whatever it is, It's been the hardest i've laughed ever since I came here. Think i'm finally getting used to this place. Cancelled my plane tickets back to Singapore. Will be flying to New York for a white Christmas, and then to Aspen skiing. Meeting chengz, karen, joe, angela, mark, zy in NY. Lots to put behind me now, and that'll definitely take some time.
Meanwhile, I've been trying to get up to jog cause my six states are finally for real becoming one nation. Dragged my ass up at 7am today and on Monday to run round the outer loop. that's about 3. something miles. 5K jogs on monday wednsday and friday.

原来了解一个人跟了解他所说的这么不同。

Haha, thank you RaJ for your stepping out of the closet. I always suspected something going on when you hit me with those hangers "妈妈打你啊！” and when your hand lingered on my ass for longer than necessary when hitting me for laughs. speaking of tt, i miss my NDU days. Carefree is the word as compared to what i'm doing now.

My memory 모두 기억해요 그 순간
눈을 감으면 아주 작은일도 보이네요
You're far away 닿을수 없는 곳에
사랑한다는 말도 기다린다는 말도 하지 못하고
정말 몰랐죠 그댈 이렇게
다시 만날줄은 생각조차 못했었죠
아직 널 사랑해 이제라도 네게 고백할게

My memory
I remember every second of it
Even the trivial things, if I close my eyes, I can still see them
You're far away
I can't tell you that I am still in love with you, still waiting for you
It is not even in my dreams that I thought we could meet again like this
Therefore, I have to be frank with you: I am still in love with you
I wanna love you forever
If, it is not too late for us, I wish I could stay with you forever
For a long time, you have been alive in my heart
No matter how long we have parted, no matter how far you are, you are
always in my heart
It is not even in my dreams that I thought we could meet again like this
Therefore, I have to be frank with you: I wanna love you forever
If, it is not too late for us, I wish I could stay with you forever

Today, an atomic bomb dropped on my world.

Yet another wonderful dinner outing. We went to this place with not very nice main courses, but they serve the best desserts.. I had peanut butter ice cream cake or something like that, and it was absolutely wonderful. Fall break rocks!

Me harrassing Alex. I put his wrist in that position and he didn't even realize it haha. That's Katherine on the right.. She can run really really fast long distance.

Lauren, me and Kels. We were all supposed to stick our tongues out.
Guess who didn't and is still grinning away at the side.

Me & Kels :)

Alex and Heater in their favourite poses.

Fall break has just begun. 4 days of holiday (including the weekend), bet it'll pass really quickly just like all the other holidays. Anyway, I went to a chinese restaurant for dinner yesterday, and finally, some 像样 food. Not the best chinese food ever (apparently best in houston) but good enough for me.

Lauren, me and Jason

Both of them wearing my clothes!! What was I wearing then?

The weather has finally fallen to something respectable, and I have to stop wearing shorts. It's like airconditioned even out in the sun. One more victim of the worldwide flu bug.

Kels all wrapped up to fight the flu

Haha, i picked this off from one of my friend's facebook's wall comments.

"Are you sick of all those "friendship" poems that always sound like Hallmark cards, and never come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that really speak to true friendship:

1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and forget about everything up till that point.

2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile - I will know you've had sex.

4. When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how
much worse it could be and tell you to quit bitchin.

6. When you are confused - I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- stay the hell away from me until you are well
again, I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath...I pledge it till the end. Why, you ask?
Because you are my friend."

life is awesome, i got a C for Math one-O-one. the class where u're supposed to score a hundred and one for everything cause its so easy? Anyways, aside from advertizing my stupidity, i'd like to talk about what an idiot I was for thinking dimensions meant perimeter when it means area. Someone's gotta do something about the america-british english understanding thing. There should be only one kind of english in the world.

I wish I could go back.
让我握着你的手，
让我搭着你的肩
就这么一刻也好，
至少曾经做到。

想再次一起走街，
想再次见你一面，
等两个月我不怨，
不过要你等几年？

电话中说不出心里的悲伤，
抱着你的那最后一刻一直打转
想回到过去现在会不会太晚，
永远忘不了这一刻的遗憾。

你愿意陪着我孤单，
你愿意陪着我受伤，
虽然不是永恒的，
但我还是感到心安。

这世界里有多少人，
能像你一样，
制造这样的浪漫，
让我有这样的情感。

电话中说不出心里的悲伤，
抱着你的那最后一刻一直打转
想回到过去现在会不会太晚，
永远忘不了这一刻的遗憾。

No one's gonna believe what i just ate!

Yes that's right... Eat your hearts out. It's BaKKwA. Just received 5 pieces of vacuum packed bakkwa in the mail today. (okay, this picture was koped from mei zhen xiang's website I was too lazy to take a picture of my precious bakkwa... now only 3 pieces left ;'((( Along with one pack of cuttlefish strips and other random food items. Hehe, my mother really knows the way to my heart! Woohoo! OH NO, i almost finish my cuttlefish liao. kns..(kena sai, a singaporean curse phrase mixing malay and hokkien -- which means get hit by birdshit) good times never last.
Mid-terms are over. I guess I didn't like screw up anything, but I didn't do as well as I thought I would either. We'll have to wait and see. Perfection is no longer the issue.
Visited one of my O-week group members at the hospital this morning. Had to get up at 7:30am! It's his third time to the hospital in like 7 weeks. First time tore a muscle or something, second time allergic reaction, this time auto-immune something... but we don't really know what exactly yet... Hope he gets well soon.
I can almost count the number of strands of cuttlefish strips I have left. The night's going downhill from here... that's for sure. Back to the homework i've chucked aside to study for midterms.
Midterms are over, but hell sure ain't frozen over yet.

Did some community service today. I went to help out at a children's museum this afternoon... and i played with some of the kids... the two kids who were most attached to me happened to be twins!
They're called Lauren and Daniel... We were supposed to be stationed at one place and move to different allocated places every hour, but they dragged me away to play with them. It was so much fun. I love kids.
That's not very clear, but they wrote their names for me too. nice~

Of course the highlight of the day was in the 'grocery store'. It's just a place in the museum where the kids can pretend they're in a grocery store buying fake groceries using fake money. Kels spotted a fish that she loved so much. Kel's my fave!"zhe! I can't take it, I love this fish so much! It reminds me of the fish I flushed down the toilet bowl back when I was a kid..."
Okay... whatever makes you happy... It's okay Kels, we still love you.

And N-Y the clown with XXX inscribed on her forehead. Wonder what she does for a living... hahaha. kidding.
