happy new year to you all out there. I'll have to back track quite a bit since it has been a while.

So we lost ihg, worst case scenario style: level on points and on an inferior gold medal difference on the last day at the last event. I think there was a certain degree of complacency there, though nobody would admit, considering that we had so many chances to wrap it up but we didn't. Like they say what you fear most eventually comes back to haunt you and the match i lost really made a difference in the end. Ahh well, murphy's laws and sports comes hand in hand i guess.

Dance production was ok. Not that the show was bad. The sets were still awesome, the acting and the dances were still spectacular , the audience still wowed. The disappointing thing was the 'alright its over..finalllly' kind of feeling rather than the high you're supposed to get at the end of a performance. Maybe thats the problem when you start off your first year with too much of a blast.

Then cny. Whats new? Enduring relatives who ask you the same oh-where-are-you-studying, finish-ns-already-not questions but give you less ang pao money every year. Where's the love, man? Heh, still it's a great time to catch up with some olldddd friends, actually watching a DECENT movie during cny, playing mj, having some fun with df's dog and a ping pong ball.

Back to hall by wednesday for multiple dates with my books. Mid term break my ass. They should rename it mid term study period, period. The whole world left for zouk except me who had to rush some lousy econs essay. And what follows after clubbing nights for sure, are scandals that spreads faster than the bird flu, in a hospitable and incubating environment none other than the hall community. Alright, not so much about the scandals actually, because scandals are supposed to be err.. secrets haha. My point is, after a few of these sharing sessions over some beers, my priciples have really taken a knock, because sometimes (or rather, most of the time) nice guys do finish last. Heh, tricks get you the chicks eh? Dont worry im not about to change what i believe in just yet. Haha and it's good to see my neighbour not so emo anymore. BJD (read: bu jian dan) you sneaky fella.

Yesterday. Went for th productions, and seriously was not expecting too much. In the end, it turned out to be not badd. Honestly if you ask me, dp's still a class above in terms of everything, but you'll probably call me biased anyway so forget it. And wth, didn't know mari can reeeaaalllly sing man. ok noww i knowww and i must admit her solo was rather impressive. Disaster averted when i sat with the eh bunch instead of serene and mari's parents. After the show mari told me that serene(her best friend #2, they have no idea BEST implies one..) intended to introduce me as the guy who's interested in their daughter. Funny we're both taking everything with a pinch of humour, so casually, and perhaps even to the extent of being pretentious. Necessary evil, otherwise we will all suffocate, won't we?

Luck me, for the 3 midterms next week. Huat ah.
