last night at cell, at alex's huge pad with a view - kinda reminds me of 60s/70s californian interior spaces - i got a surprise birthday cake - oreo ice cream cake chosen by daniel - sob. very touched. plus, i really like thursday nights.

IT'S FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE!

i think i'm getting the hang of it - running in the morning makes me feel good throughout the week. my internal clock wakes me up at 545am even before the alarm clock does. i'm also getting the hang of making myself get enough sleep. last week i managed to run 3 out of 5 weekday mornings - this week only 2, but at least one was a super good one. maybe i really can wear out the running shoes by september - can't wait to buy new trainers.

plus tonight was quite nice - coffee with some arki friends after collecting the grad gown. talking about work is, in itself, rather interesting - i think we're all somewhat happy. then mingyao picked me up and we had (not really crispy) prata and (too sweet) teh ping at jalan kayu. seriously, upper thomson is better for indulgent suppers.
