sat night - balaclava with the sailing gang. the outside was really relaxing and the ambiance, cool with its controlled splashes of red and black. must have been the people too, comfortable conversation with lots of crap from c. w with her swishy short skirt and b with her swishy smooth top. lime juice cos i'd have to rise early the next day, and porridge supper at chinatown with b and w and their volunteer friends.

last week i met up with shu and caroline. pat thai by the esplanade. talks of travel, of canada, work and the otherhalves, our first loves and girlish batter about the whys and whats, and reminder that the grass is not always greener on the other side and to work hard.

managed to clean up my room today, save for the sorting out of notes. realised how little i wrote in my diary in 2003 and 2004 and aims to write several pages everyday. the intimate stuff. the closet-self stuff. will iron my wardrobe over tv later.

make christmas cards. attempt an 8 - 10 km later in the evening before dinner.

wait for MY CHOY to return home.

the last image of p, happy-faced on the bus from school laughing with his friends. i'd like to keep that image in my mind though we weren't close at all.
