When the world gets into my face, I say,

"HAVE A NICE DAY!"

Right. That was completely pointless, but I suddenly recalled Bon Jovi.

Apart from the fact that I was late (because I dropped a contact lens), coaching was fun yesterday. It's so insightful to hear from someone else. Now I feel more motivated to practise Poulenc.

Yesterday, on the way to Bugis, I sat in a car silently, observing. My goodness, how can anyone possibly exude so much youthful energy? So cheery, so bubbly, so genuine. And I wondered whether I had ever been like this, at any point. I keep wondering how come I've become so much more reserved, quiet. I don't suppose very many people would describe me as quiet, but I do feel very quiet.

Dinner was fine and nice and dandy, but it was one of those days, when I just wanted to get away from the crowd. So I left a bit earlier to meet a friend. We took a long walk down Orchard Road (Okay, couldn't have been that long, Orchard Road is so short), listened to panflutes on the way, and settled down at this place behind The Dubliners, where we lay down to talk, facing the blue lights reflected in the dark ceiling above. We spoke for a long time, of friends, love, life. I felt so much better, I feel so much better. I'm so grateful for a friend like that, makes NUS so much less miserable.

Hehe I just noticed that Blogger has screwed up. My words are not bold when I click bold, and are bold when I don't. Random fun fact of the day.
