had cap reunion today, which ended up kinda lame, cos no activities were really planned. the councillors' excuse was that the cappers were supposed to "connect by themselves", whatever that means.went home with xuan to spend quality time with family, instead of going to burgerking with the babirussas. i love those people, but spin the bottle is not my thing. (i have nothing particularly juicy to share,unlike a certain...um..alcoholic drink..lol)
speaking of that, had a great time at cine yesterday. it's been a really long time since the bunch of us hung out together. even though our topics of interests often deviate from each other, i'm consoled by the fact that the comfort level has not decimated or anything.so, kudos to the wonderful peeps, you know who you are, (it's so mushy to list u guys out, and in what order?alphabetical?sen's gonna feel super indignant..lol,kidding lah)

really happy in a strangely nonsensical way. it's most probably cos blocks are over. no, i think it's definitely cos of that. i promise to refrain from squandering my time by watching crap tv. any alternate activity would surely be more constructive, even writing in this blog. i've been recently thinking about writing a poem for my grandkids every year, starting from this year. i'll hopefully have accumulated 50-60 pieces by the time i kick the bucket.it'll be interesting to see how i've changed. heck, it's interesting to read my past entries, and i've never ceased to be amazed by how much growing up, how much change can take place within 6 months.geez, i'm thinking about when i have to leave hc.don't know how i'll feel...but i'm definitely more emotionally attached to hc than i was to crescent. it was light and fluffy for all its worth, but...yeah, in retrospect, there are a few people i've met there whom i'm thankful for today (cue nudgenudgewinkwink), and if nothing, i got to study biology! ok, i don't know where that came from.

haven't posted anything for a long time, so, here goes (written after visiting the night safari, where i saw real elephants and statues of them):

Ivory Elephant

but there are no tusks,
only small flecks of crimson
showing scabs from elemental soup.
Such a strong leash offers no protection.
Your gaping heart is out and trunk-bordered.
But when I put my finger behind the hole,
your heart is flesh again.
If you ask real politely,
I could Jesus you up.
