i have jon to thank today. my dear kawan without whom i could not have lasted the dreadful day at work.
thanks also to durga for breaking the monotony of lunchtime by relating her own hellish worklife.
thank you andrew for calling me at work and for being such a pig (? haha).
really - thanks for calling.

- i don't want to do this kind of job next time - don't get much satisfaction out of it (aside frm the free shoes, water bottle and cool AXN pen)
- lawry's last night was somewhat ungratifying. i hope tt this is only due to the fact tt we haven't yet warmed up to the season.
- good news: my stye has almost disappeared and i will soon be able to wear my contact lenses - yippee.

i want a cj reunion, but i'm so tired. it's hard trying to get pple to meet. it's fun to reminisce bout those good ol' cj days; pontang-ing chinese, doing LSD (haha, tt's Long Slow Distance ya'll...), playing badminton, taking bus with weizhong and prakash, running cross-country (i came in 77th!), having Toilet Club bitch sessions, prancing to the toilet, hanging by the piano, being a trusty geog rep (haha). not doing GP essays, falling for my prince charming... haha. yea, those were good times.

the other day i was thinking to myself tt the key to living life deeply is to empathise. pple don't realise it, but when you empathise, you see everything differently - life seems to become 4-dimensional or something. the realisation is a tad overwhelming if you're new to it, but then when you get the habit of thinking in evryone else's shoes, it gets a lot easier to understand pple and you become more introspective too. this could be to the very root of my schizo/random tendencies; still, i maintain tt empathy is more a good thing than bad.
