hello, old friend. 11:31 PM



...is not in the mood to run 10 X Pandan Reservoir!

...or whatever crazy workout we're gonna have today for training.

And normally training along reservor routes can be made marginally more bearable-r when I imagine I'm an elf in some wild nomadic elf tribe forging through the woodlands but today I'm just too tired to imagine I'm an elf. pixie. fairy. orc. whatever.


Two friends and I have two very different things to say to you two:

Friend#1: ...thank God for tentative "...d'you miss me?" text messages.
I personally find it unnerving that two people can go around thinking the other's brilliantly happy and not in need of her in her life, when both of them're actually secretly devastatingly lonely...
But we're survivors, remember. We're gonna pull through this and we're gonna make it out alive.

Friend#2: ...d'you honestly think this is high school like in the movies???
You were born an individual-- it isn't that hard to be one. You could be so beautiful but you're always caught up following in someone else's footsteps. Laughing with too many teeth at jokes that aren't funny.
Get a grip. And a backbone.


...yesterday was spent with Amrit and RJ; hatching our nefarious and absolutely uncomable-trueable plan to snag the AirAsia flight deal to London at the end of the year.
"300 SGD! Only 300 SGD omg omg!!!"
...we were in the midst of planning our damned itinerary when we realized that there, in teeny tiny small print, was "...one way only."

damn you, universe.
Why couldn't we have conveniently found out the "one way only" bit only AFTER we'd actually gotten to England?
"hi mum. yeahhh...we're in England and we're safe and sound.
...about that...apparently it's a one way only. so. love you see you whenever bai!"

spent the rest of the free period plotting dastardly, hopeless schemes to get ourselves to the UK. This is what we came up with.

The General Plan:
1) Go to the airport and picket around with signs so we can get free rides. (Amrit's idea.) Signs should read: "...will f--- for flights", "will roll for rides", etc.
...'course we're only kidding. Moral values >>>> ride to UK ): and all of that.

2) Survive on watercooler water and tubes of grape-flavoured Mentos (to be rationed) until we save up enough kaching to sustain us throughout our UK trip.

3) Just get the 300SGD tickets anyway and go to the UK and then survive just on McDonald's. This plan seemed feasible until we all realized that an average cheeseburger there (and we're not even talking Filet O'Fishes yet) costs about $15. ...yeahhh.

4) Steal Santa's Bell and ring it while standing outside Salvation Army dressed as hookers. (I had no part in this. ......again, Amrit's idea. You probably knew that anyway.)

5) Hide out in Joe's sheep shack (though I tried time and again to explain to them that just because Joe lives in Tamworth doesn't mean he's a sheep farmer...) instead of renting a hotel room. And then live off the land for food. (I believe in some parts, they call this subsistence farming.) Any sudden and mysterious disappearances of sheep, cows, chickens, other vaguely-edible animals etc will have absolutely nothing to do with us.

5) Get some dirtcheap Air China tickets and then bring our own belts to use as seatbelts since they probably won't provide any anyway.
Inflight entertainment options:
a) watch Chinese porn
b) watch the inflight movies screening from any other planes that happen to fly up alongside us

6) Get the damned 300SGD oneway ticket and then canoe/swim our way back home.
Amrit: "...after all, Europe's kinda near Asia anyway."
Cara: "...only on the map, moron."

Aaaand then we all realized that it'll be the heart of winter when we/if we/will we(???) get to London, hence: goodbye to awesome London fashion! + hello to disgustingly layered, oversized, frumpy winter clothing.

Amrit: "...we're gonna look fat, dammit!"
Cara: "& what about food?"
Leonard: "what if you guys get lost there?"
RJ: "people get mugged in London, y'know."
Amrit: "...fat and hungry and lost and broke!!!"



ah well.
they call them Dreams.
