A Celebration Dinner (and it was, really)
Just got back from celebration dinner, it was really fun! And I did enjoy myself, amazingly enough. Reached there a little early but had an interesting conversation with someone I don't normally talk to, who agrees my teacher is as zai as I think - ha! Dinner started late, so chatted a bit to various people about my DISASTROUS scholarship interview :S (cool interviewers though and lovely view, as always) and SSO and things in general. It was, pleasant and warm and polite and congenial and well, I felt happy and at home. Not exhilarated crazy, but stable warm happy. Which is as good as it gets I guess, at least for now.
J said I used too much rouge which is such a lie. Tried a new outfit today as you can see in the picture. Bought the skirt just yesterday, and after my interview today, during retail therapy (which was very fun in my power suit -black base and green shirt)saw some black and white clunky ish bracelets/necklace but decided not to buy.
Took heaps of nice pictures, MF wore the shirt I drew, which was a cute frog, and well basically it was just fun hanging out with everyone again and discussing JP's obscene blog bid *cough* they gave out thank you cards one by one, written by desk partners and mine was kinda funny because C had written 3 sides and H HAD to announce it when she gave it out haha...gah. It was nice of him though, now that I think of it, some of the juniors have really been with us for such a long time, I've known C,TY,L since 3 years ago, in the Beyond Boundaries concert, with Dvorak's New World 2nd and 4th mvt, and JO's Mendelssohn Concerto. Man that is ONE concert to remember. haha and TY twice in octet! well! I'll miss them, but its amazing how Strings binds people.
After that, we went to CHIJMES. Cramming in the car like illegal immigrants and waving to various people (who waved back) was very fun. Gave me a stupidly-happy sort of everyone-in-the-world-is-your-friend feeling. Took more pictures there.. had a seabreeze, which remind me never to get again because it had practically no alcohol and was 80 percent grapefruit. While taking pics, some random ang moh came up and sat down where we'd just got up from and said "What about me? Any room left for me? You're all done?" Haha wth. Drank and took more pics and felt sleepy and warm and J said "Hey I'm emanating heat" then we went home.
Thanks T for amazing pictures, i think the stable calm feeling is contentment. Interestingly soporific.
(When you were here before, Couldn't look you in the eyes You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry )
The last line is almost Laughably Ambivalent but still, for me, this Has been a phase.
(I don't care if it hurts I wanna have control)
Alright, enough angst for one evening. I am happy and I got just that glimpse and maybe it will be enough.
