for people to be more morally upright, then i think the world would be a better place, really. HALT selfishness

2010 new year resolutions:

1. be more daring and take initiative.
2. control my temper- already accomplished, actually! :D
3. be more selfless, respectful and understanding to those around me.
4. tamp down my materialism.
5. be more independent and responsible.
6. to stop getting entangled in messy relationships. therefore, staying away from annoying boys.
7. be more athletic- build up muscles!
8. help the less fortunate in every way i can.

that's it for now.

amazing. two very vulgar boys pissed me off on new years eve.






29 DEC

my mom had 2 complimentary free passes to amore gym, so i invited grace along.

first class, 11 am, pilates.

i thought pilates was a bit more relaxing (we had that class back at school) but turns out, it was harder than i thought it would be!

i always have to keep in mind when to breathe, the right time to exhale (when executing the movements) and suck in my stomach, making my navel move close to my spine.

my treacharous back refused to meet with the mat. so i was slightly arched, and the trainer have to keep pressing me downwards.

we had to curl like a ball and push ourselves up without the use of hands- only abs.

and damn, did my abs hurt. my mom was grunting and whining and grace was trembling. i started to laugh a bit, causing myself to lose balance and roll over to the wrong side.

lucky the trainer was patient.

and yes, i was drenched with sweat.

at noon, my mom treated us for lunch at Phin's.

waiting for food to digest (mom went ahead to meet up with her personal trainer), grace and i strolled along to buy some stuff before heading back to the gym for sauna.

we wrapped ourselves in towels and entered the blue-tiled smoky room. at 43 degrees, it was pretty hot, so i lowered it to 40.

grace: are you sure that's the coldest?? can you lower it further?
me: nope. 40's the minimum.

my calves were stinging with the heat (because the heaters were located at the bottom of the benches) and we were very wet, not much of sweat, but water vapour condensing.

grace and i just talked and laughed until the timer stopped. we then went to the pool to dip.

water was freezing cold by the way. i was moaning and clinging to the metal bars, afraid to let go. grace nudged me in.

swam for about 30 minutes (played with the floats!!) before drying off for aerobics.

aerobics is more strenuous than pilates!! arh. it's like ACES workout, except more exerting and much more faster.

we learnt kick punches, galloping, even some cha cha moves. and swaying of hips xD

grace was struggling- "i don't like this! so fast!"

the trainer is very toned. she has muscles bulging out of her tanned forearms. she cheographed the moves as the class "danced along" occasionally whooping with glee into her microphone chip thing.

how on earth she can have a conversation ("how you're doing back there guys? c'mon! move your hips sexily! ladies, faster! show me what you got!") while doing aerobics in fast paced music (really fast paced) baffles me. most of the people were panting and trying to catch our breath.

after that workout, we rested then went to the gym to try out the facilities. like the cycling machine, weight lifting- the usual gym equipment.

bathed and ate snacks. i had a mango smoothie and didn't feel at guilty about it at all :)

pictures uploaded on FB

30 DEC

1. dropped library books.
2. took the trash out for recycling.
3. stopped by joe's house to pass butter cookies and chocolate cake as a new year present for his family.
4. collect sec 3-4 history book from shahirah.

i sorta over-stayed my welcome, but sha didn't mind :D i thought her how to read guitar chords and played a few taylor swift's songs so her sister could sing along.

ate chocolate and played scrabble, so FUN!

then again, i suck at scrabble. sha's sister can beat me.






24 DEC, Xmas eve

went out to clarke quey in the late afternoon with my family to enjoy the scenery.

there's the soft breeze, the trees that offer comforting shade (couples making out in their private alcoves. ahem!) sturdy built bridges, bungee jumping, ice cream carts and soft jazz music- and the occasional smell of expensive australian wine.

my family ate at jumbo seafood restaurant and ordered the best chilli crabs ever served in town. i mean, singapore.

took plenty of pictures- will upload them in facebook :D

it became dark and the hanging lights went on. bars and clubs opened their doors to welcome the party people.

nightlife. joseph was absolutely right, of course. at night, that's where the fun begins. you've got throbbing music, intoxicating or classy drinks, mysterious strangers and careless horseshit that'll make you go crazy with delight.

so i announced to my parents that i will go clubbing when i reached the right age. my mom didn't blanched- instead she replied, "when you have a stable job."

my dad said, "when you're 40" and smiled at me mischieviously. so mean :( he was teasing, of course.

we also went to orchard road- which was a HUGE mistake because the entire street was covered with throngs of people. you can't even move, but squirm along with the crowd.

was stuffy, hot and upsetting. the dazzling lights and clicking of numerous cameras made me dizzy.

my mom ushered us back to Wisma Atria and she bought herself bright purple Nike sports shoe.

i love the shoe but i said, "Did you know that Nike brands exploit foreign workers overseas?"

i think the salesman threw me a look of horror.

sometimes, i gotta know when to shut up or i'll end up like khoon hwa, sprouting out knowledge whenever he feels like.

25 DEC, Xmas.

my tita Vilma came over for lunch.

helped my dad grill beef steak and pork chops, MMmmm x) - see facebook photos.

after that, watched "aliens in the attic". then, my brother's godparents came over. EJ and Ethan tagged along, so i switched on the xbox to let them play transformers.

and i was stuck in the playroom with a bunch of Transformers fanatics. my sister included.

i mean, it's nice and all, galactic robots that can transform into vehicles for deception, but ah, not my cup of tea. instead, i sat in one corner and dreamt about clothes, haha!

in the late afternoon, my family headed to Mimi Rose's house for a party.

their fruit salad is absolutely delicious.

one of the guests, a teenage girl by the looks of it, got a PSP from her parents. i just stared at her numbly, wishing i'd get a PSP too!! no fair!!

at night, we headed home for the opening of gifts!

i had a Burberry perfume from tito Doods (thank you, now i have a personal scent!)
a silver necklace from tita Vilma.
an organiser from Camille.
40 bucks from my parents.

not a bad haul eh?

xmas presents i gave:-

adorable hello kitty metal case containing with yummy sweets for lynette plus friendship poster!
a bag tag and DVDS for grace plus friendship poster!
handmade all time low poster for my sis
a bingo set for the whole family.

we played bingo throughout the night, my brother shrieking everytime his number didn't get called.

so i guess my whole family love the present :D

28 DEC:

the contracters came to my house to fix the ceiling. the wallpaper thing had come off. so two days of falling plaster and the annoying smell of paint and dirt.

my mom allowed me to go out (escape!) so i had lunch with sha and grace!

it was fun catching up since grace just arrived from america (having spent the entire christmas in a plane back to singapore- with babies wailing, disturbing her sleep)

she showed me and sha photos: snowy wilderness, packed street, glossy department stores, exciting theme parks, green, high cliffs and even the interior of a Victorian castle on a hill!

so cool, wished i had been there...ironically, i'm going to the US this june. then to canada, for good. sigh.

we took plenty of photos - see facebook again! and went window shopping.

<3

i will skin you alive. i don't care if it's christmas.






thursday- DEC 17

watched Avatar with wen ya and pin cheng.

initially, i thought it was some lame movie, but i tell you, it is KICK ASS AWESOME.

the effects are good. and when the avatars ride their flying dragons, i feel like swooping down in a rollercoaster.

it's 2 hours plus, so i was trying to hold in my pee, haha.

it is breathtaking and also has an underlying message- to protect our environment.

suddenly, i wanna be a tree hugger xD and throw stones at wrecking bulldozers.

after that we went christmas shopping for presents (lynette, i bought yours!) and wenya bought a nice checkered skirt.

zhan hao and cuthbert joined us and we headed to sunplaza park to rent bikes and cycle.

we cycled all the way from tampines to pasir ris, near downtown east.

it was fun! there were dropping slopes (we were yelling with glee- ok, maybe i was the only one...) and we crossed many traffic lights and bridges.

we dismounted and pushed. cycling on the overhead bridge would fine $1000. i made sure no one forgot that, shouting at any stupid passing cyclist, "Sir, be prepared to pay $1000!" or "be a law-abiding citizen!"

i am mad and loud sometimes.

we took photos along the way (see facebook). we took random paths and ended up in a prawn fishing river and a playground.

i practically jumped off my bike and ran straight first to the swing!!

i love swinging. i'm an expert at it too. push forward, legs straighten. pull backwards, tuck in the legs....and you repeat the whole process. it also trains up your abs! :)

wenya videoed me. and we all tried the see-saw too, trying hard to balance by practising Newton's law of forces and principles of moments. wahaha. the kids were looking at us like we were freaks with a deprived childhood.

next, we found ourselves in a mangrove swamp (stinks), beach, near the chalets and a shipyard. my thighs ached.

at nearly 7, i called it a day and took the train home with cuth and pc.






tuesday- DEC 15

i had to go to the US embassy with my sis and dad to get a US visa.

i sort of anticipated it would be a long wait, so i brought my ear piece (music!) and a book.

well, turns out the whole process of waiting is very long, like 3 and a half hours! and i fell asleep at some point of time.

haha.

wednesday- DEC 16

my bro got admitted to the hospital.

shocker, i know >.<

there was something wrong with him- he complained there was pain in-

so my dad brought him to the clinic, but it called for more expertise. so they went to KK hospital.

it's a testicle problem. yes, i am not joking. testicle.

he was fine when he was discharged the next day (cried because he wanted to stay in the hospital to watch cartoons in his ward -.-)

so i flipped through the doctor's report and found it was a cyst in his left er, testicle. biology students refer to as, scrotum.

aka. balls.

my mom told me such a condition is very serious (actually, not really) but i guess my parents were freaked that it may affect his fertility and prevent him from having children.

you know, he's the only male child in the family to pass down the Anunciacion name.

no pressure jayson.






monday- 14 DEC






I've come back from Bintan.

and I'm lazy to upload photos. sometime soon, or hopefully, sometime later. waaayyy later.

hey, don't blame me. i didn't just battled raging fever (39 degrees celsius. so i don't joke when i tell people i'm hot. because i'm scorching.)

i didn't just clutch to my lifeline, wheezing the hell through fitful sleeps.

so all in all, i am fine.

spent most days holed up here at home...nothing much to do except facebook, watch DVD or read my storybook.

i re-read harry potter (and still loving it. JK Rowling's got real knack for storytelling) and have just immersed from my chilling thriller novel. kinda makes me wonder and think about all the psycopaths out there in the world, sexually mutiliating womens' bodies.

and you think, pauline reads these shit?

yeah. i do. i also read sappy romances and cry. but i'm uniquely half. i have a cynic side too.

lately, my life just miserably drags on, like a piece of hunted animal dragged by the hair into the caveman's lair.

ouch. rug burn.

and everyday, closer and closer, the day my fingers will come in contact with my O level result slip.

talk about nauseating. i have nightmares, i confess. who doesn't? I'd freak, i get scared, i break out into cold sweat, thinking, "that's it. life will spiral downwards once i fall short of my goals..."

or maybe it's not the results. it's the BIG MOVE. i'd be lying if i said i wanted to integrate smoothly into canada. it isn't that simple.

me, i'd probably kick up a big fuss and resist all the way.

now or never people. it's there, my alternative route, in front of my like a tantalizing illusion, only hazy- unsure.

why am i having weird thoughts? doubts?

oopps. insanity kicking in.

i want to get out. i NEED to get out. or rot here and die. i'm going out to watch new moon with lynette, and i pray that that may offer some sort of comfort.

someone ask me out. anyone (well, except stalkers)??!! i will destruct, damage, die, decay and doom.

and you better have a nice itinerary in mind or i'll take a gun and finish myself off.

note to self: think about the perfect christmas presents for family and friends, but don't buy them. why bother when no one does, for me?






i have been asking my mom permission to buy takeaways for two simple reasons.



#1: no food in the house

#2: no food in the house would mean unnecessary, unhealthy frying of food, or convenience food like addicting instant noodles that are high preservatives and would eventually kill us, if not for a meteriote that will crash earth and end our lives.

#3: i take the mrt route, walking beneath the overhead tracks, and i have some 'me time'



which is nice. me time, that is. so calm, soothing (with wind) and silence, only hearing my feet scraping along the gravel. i people-watch too. i look at birds pooping and mating (what? i hear them cooing contentedly. ew) i look at trees, the greenery, the sky and my mind always wanders.



i listen to a happy song and so i smile, beaming at random people, and sometimes, if they're in a good mood, they smile back.



so today, everyday actually, i recall the happy moments i spent with my friends- secondary school, primary school, church, competitions. my family too. god i miss family reunions. i miss the delicious food.



kind of kills me to leave my friends behind when i move on to another phase in my life. and also kills me that trips back to philippines would stop once i settle in Toronto. or Alberta. or whatever freezing part of canada i'd be staying.



anyway, putting aside the long introduction, i decided to list down a happy moment with the important people in my life.

lynette- in primary six, ms norhuda, our form teacher, was absent so we split class- you know, the class would divided into groups and we are allocated to the other different classes, attending lessons as per normal.

lynette and i skipped split class, and instead, trashed this abandoned classroom, dumped our bags and played like mad- which included us dangling our arms down the railings and shrieking. we made wishes, played fortune telling, made up crazy stories and i was fairly sure i laughed till i cried.

shahirah- i couldn't attend US robotics competition and the sec 3 resilience camp, so i kicked up a fuss, so much so my mom grounded me. because of the phone bills too *coughs suggestively* sha stuck by me when we were posted to an "enrichment course" for those who didn't attend the robotics competition, resilience camp and working attachment in macdonalds.

well, enrichment my foot. we rode the newly opened singapore flyer, and ate free at pizza hut. (we also learnt how to bake a pizza because we toured the kitchen!)

i didn't want to go home so early so for the next 3 days, i sort of "camped at her house". hung around a bit and bonded with her sis too! i felt so happy, i forgot i was grounded.

grace- the week before O's, i went to her house to study. we were quiet, doing our own stuff for 2 hours, when she announced she was hungry, went to the kitchen and brought 'digestives' biscuits, nutella, raspberry tarts and fruits to her room.

she told me dipping the biscuits into the nutella would make an awesome snack- and she didn't lie. we ate to our hearts content, chatting about our lives, laughing, and then hushing up when we heard her parents walk by, and then laughing again. we raided her closet and she let me try out some of her clothes.

not a bad study session eh? :)

joseph- we went to suntec (we actually wanted to go to clarke quey and take a zillion pictures but it was raining), made a wish in the fountain of wealth, nibbled on auntie annie's cinnamon sugar pretzel and fed the fishes.

it drizzled a bit but we were sitting cross-legged on the floor, hurling fish food and seeing whose throw was successful: i think the fishes like my food better because they gobbled the pieces down the instant they land on the water surface. and we just...talked. had a nice, heart-to-heart conversation.

and i was shrieking with happiness when i pointed, "look!! the black fish is swimming upside down and eating at the same time!!!"

joe whipped out his phone and tried to video it. haha.

pei shan- we were, and still are, shopping freaks. once, school ended early so i accompanied her to her house to change, and we took a bus to my house so that i could change before launching to a crazed shoppping frenzy that would hurt our feet a lot.

no one was at home at that time, and i knew my mom wouldn't like it if i brought in someone without her knowing. troublemaker that i am, i still went ahead and did it. ps sat down waiting while i rushed about, throwing on my heels and fixing my dishevelled hair.

suddenly, there was the clanking of keys and the gate was clicking open.

ps and i exchanged horrified glances then i ran to her, she ran to me (luckily we didn't bang to each other)

ps *hisses* "what should i do? what should i do??"
me "omg omg. i dunno. hide in my storeroom?? under the bed! but-"

we were dancing about on the spot, flailing our arms madly. looking back, it was damn funny...

in the end, my mom didn't mind much, seeing it was only pei shan (haha. she would kill me if it was a boy) and we set off to the mall. we stared at each other (my heart was still racing for the scare) and laughed at our foolishness.

michelle- it was the period when michelled broke up with her first BF, and ps also did and we were all feeling so miserable, so mich decided we all go siglap KFC to eat lunch.

we ordered food at the empty KFC restaurant, ate, chatted- especially how dumb guys are, and cam-whored. i was engrossed with a book, and they pestered me to take photos with them -.-

one conversation i remembered was our proposal fantasy.

me "i want a guy to take me up in a hot air balloon, serve me roses and champhane and as we look down the many lights down below, he'll get down on one knee and propose."

michelle's fantasy was by the beach side and peishan's...was...i think a ballroom? i forgot.

and the four of us, me, mich, ps and grace, made a bet who would lose should one get involved with a guy, kissing, hugging and flirting and even having a BF to start with.

well, eventually ps and mich lost the bet. eh, they should have served me and grace as personal maids for a day!!


i have yet to include more people, cuthbert, pincheng, zhan hao, xin yun, aishah...and many more, i'll pen down my happy moments with you guys another time!

what a nice storytelling...

and looking forward to bintan holiday trip tomorrow. ciao guys!






DEC 2, jamming with wen ya and liew yung.

wy was very kind to invite me to jam at leo's house that day.

we ate lunch at 18 chefs- a nice western restaurant tucked away behind eastpoint mall.

their food is really delicious (i love spaghetti like hell anyway) and so is their hand-made lemon tea. the student meal comes with free ice-cream, so it's affordable and very worth it.

thanks to lynette for introducing it to me xD

it's like a chain reaction, so i introduced it to cuthbert, grace, aishah and pincheng. and wen ya too!

to kill time, (liew yung, without surprise was late) me and wy went to popular, scanned O level books- social studies, maths and science, and laughed like mad.

i guess we were very sadistic to the sec 3's who would mug next year. hehe. our time for suffering has already passed, whoo hoo!

i grabbed A Level GP topic model essays book and stared blankly at the hard questions posed, like "....freedom of speech...media....today?"

i forgot the rest of the question because they were too complicated to be registered in my brain. haha!

i refuse to tackle GP. luckily i'm out of the country before the end of next year. if not, i'm heading to my own doom. think of it like suicide.

anyway, wy told me ly's house was nearer to simei mrt station. i think her definition of "nearer" is somewhat fuzzy and unclear because we ended up weaving through many void decks, hiking up an overhead bridge and crossing many carparks.

but we chatted.

me,"i hate walking under the void deck corners! bloody napkins always drop here. once, i missed one that fell from above by a few inches."

ly, "be glad it's not a flower pot. when i entered my house, a lizard dropped on my head ok!!"

me, "it probably mistakened your hair as its nest."

wy laughed.

liew yung, or i can call him leo, that's his facebook name too, lives in a HDB mansionate (is this correctly spelt??) so his place has 2 floors. it's nice. it's very clean, can you believe it?

sometimes when i go to other people's houses, i am appalled at their state of living. i could almost imagine hearing my mom gasp and then collapse upon heart attack, that is, if she ever laid eyes on piles of dirty laundry, rubbish strewn on the floor, hair strands clogged up on the drains, furnitures madly arranged, stuff like that.

haha. ly helped me tune the guitar and wy started to play the piano. ly also played his own composition on the piano and i told him it was nice. he could add lyrics too, so he can sing his own song.

ly and wy made me watch his facebook video on his international excursion. there was a guy singing at the background, playing his guitar so flawlessly. so i sat there, staring, listening while wy and ly started laughing silently. i knew something was up. eventually, ly paused the vid and told me a very shocking news...

ly, "that's me singing."
me, "you're the one playing the guitar??!!"
ly, "yeah!! me and wen ya were thinking how long you would figure that out!"
me, "but the guy is so good. i can't believe he's you. you don't sound good live anyway."

ly made a face. it's very fun to suan him, you know.

wy and i begged ly to play the guitar because we wanted to do a piano and guitar combo cover for hey monday's "candle".

ly, "why'd you want me to join anyway? i suck live, remember?" *looks pointedly at me*

he relented so we all did so many trial and errors. who knew making a musical arrangement was hard? ly on guitar, wy on piano, me on vocals. not actually bad, though i went slightly off key at the end.

i went home and had a movie night with my family. we watched "The Proposal". very funny! haha.

photos with wenya uploaded on my FB account!






science centre, Dec 1

i met ghee kian at tampines mrt and guan zhong, his brother and khoon hwa joined us in the train.

gz's brother looks scarily alike as him. it's like the exact replica of gz when he was sec 1. now gz's sec 2 moving up to sec 3, he has gone through a massive makeover, which includes him spiking his hair and wearing all black. black skinnies. with white sneakers. even i didn't grow up that fast.

"are we there yet?"
"no."
"are we there yet?"
"no."
"are we there yet?"
"NO."

and so gz's bro pokes him in the armpit to annoy him further. haha. i bet my brother is even more behaved than gz's brother.

we alighted at jurong east station and i asked for directions to the science centre. we walked around for a bit- circling the library and kh had the nerve to ask me whether we were heading in the right direction! -.-

we walked to a bus stop and took a bus there.

ate at Macs (i am so sick of Mac already. SO UNHEALTHY! oily. salty. crowded. ok, but their ice-cream's really good. and cheeseburger.) and bought the tickets.

we went to body worlds first, and gk told me the dark, silent atmosphere makes it creepy.

i took one look at the first few posters and burst out laughing. this is what one statement said:

"The man's penis can bend like a boomerang when inserted to the female's vagina."

gk and kh didn't find it funny at all.

anyway, i saw foetuses in developing stages until it hit me that these are the actual ones. i was carried away by a sea of emotions. imagine, that small little thing enclosed in the glass can undergo cell division and become a full grown human as the years progess. i was viewing something like the un-living. for all i knew, that tiny baby could be walking, thinking, eating, breathing, sleeping and be just one person amongst the face of the crowd, given it had the chance to grow. so i was in a state of confusion and shock- my hands were covering my mouth, and kh was looking at me weirdly.

gz and gk went a way ahead of us; me and kh went much slower probably because the both of us were absorbing all the interesting biology facts. we already know some human body facts and functions. psst, info can be found in Biology Matters textbook. really. i remembered them all!

one thing i remembered was (nothing sick or horny, i assure you) was intelligence is measured by the number of neurones in the brain, not the weight of it.

*where neurones are nerve cells.

i was scrutinising kh as i read it, trying to calculate the difference between the number of neurones he has and mine. he probably has a thousand more than i have.

i saw stomach, intestines, hearts, lungs, nerve fibres, skeletons, brains, muscles, kidneys and god-knows-other organs i never thought existed.

there was a gigantic dead giraffe (it's heart is bigger than the size of my head!), reindeer, giant squid and horse. cool eh? all blood red and muscly.

while i said in facebook that kh doesn't really have a sense of humor- he tells lame jokes, unfortunately- he mentioned a funny one.

me, "whoa! the liver's really big!"
kh, "what's that? yao ming's liver?"

haha.

=========================================================================

after that, gz's bro dragged us to some science demonstration.

something to do with electricity-like man made lightning? i wasn't paying much attention (see pictures below).

the woman, "what gas do you think the balloons are filled with? helium or hydrogen?"
me *rolls eyes*," helium duh!"
kh, "what the heck. hydrogen's-"
me and kh, "flammable!"

the woman switched on the electric supply and the electric bolt sparked off a fire- and the balloons exploded.

ok. so it was hydrogen. who the hell would fill balloons with hydrogen gas??!!

woman *to audience* "so at your birthday party, what gas would you fill your balloons with?"
some idiot, "HYDROGEN."

alright, if i were a guest, i won't go to his party.

=========================================================================

we went through different types of exhibits- sound (i did a few cool recordings), marine life, energy, eco-life...

kh, "pauline pauline! come see this! you will like it."

i stared at him suspiciously, rotating my ankles to get rid of my foot cramps.

kh, "really. you would like it."

thinking it was some kind of WOW-science thingy, i hobbled into the entrance- and screamed.

there was a gigantic poster of a cockroach, and i'm fairly sure there was a moulting stage too.

it was sickeningly gross!!! i was pissed so i hit him. gz and gk cracked up. really, even during the science competitions, they never let go of the knowledge of my fear of insects- they take the utmost delight to torment me -.- boys.

we also went to the futuristic side- a space exhibit and nano technology (i saw brownian motion!).

it's awesome. kh and gz were trying to make waffles breakfast with the virtual menu and refrigerator. a simple few clicks and presses on the touchscreen can bring a piping hot meal or cold dish, whichever you prefer.

whoa...can't wait for the future to bring automated fridges then. looking forward to it :)

after that, we strolled along the maths department and kinetics garden (i forgot the actual name) and went home, exhausted.

haha. we were crapping and catching up on the train. gk and gz's bro were so tired, they sat crosslegged on the train floor.

i tried too, but while squatting down, my head banged on the metal pole in the process. twice. and they laughed.

my crazy sciency friends! will miss you while i move on! :)













in a matter of minutes, i'd be heading out to the science centre with khoon hwa, ghee kian and guan zhong.

i know this sounds mushy, but forgive me for i am a girl, i miss them like hell.

i miss lots of people actually. people like grace, shahirah, lynette...some of my church buddies too.

kh, gz, and gk have stuck with my irritating, quirky behaviour (and my drama!) all throughout the science competitions, so i think it's cool we hung out again.

funny, i could have picked a better place, but it's the science centre anyway. pretty ironic.

i'll take pictures!



note to self: never ever forget your friends. stay in contact!
