"No grounds whatsoever. I'm playing my hunches. There's got to be catch. I've felt that the whole time I've been talking to you."

how very cryptic.. haha
i always found murakami was too abstract and 'chaotic' for me, but clem's recommendations made me see otherwise. :)
oh and before i forget, i had one of the nicest sunday mornings lately. :)
-
1-2am: mucking around in the kbl, listening to the boys tinkering various pieces on the piano (including the fatal sarigama pardeenisa hahaaha!)
2-2.30am: getting to know little cute or irritating or Both juniors and listening to music alone, surveying the school campus
2.30-4am: talking and eating crap (m&ms, chips, top!)with the boys. (it's highly amusing that i find myself always either in a girl or boy-saturated situation but Never an evenly-mixed one. haha, i wonder why.. )
4-6am: sleep (surprisingly well) in the freezing 4.13 :/
6-7am: showering alone at the wonderfully heated squash showers. the scent of shampoo and clean water and the quiet sight of the astroturf in the early dawn light is :)
7-8.30am: catch up with mdm r. (she grows on you after a while and i find myself missing her omniscient presence :( )and bumming around the kbl (it has a nice sofa now that you can nap on!! hahha)
8.30-9.30am: headed down to holland v with the two Cs for some better breakfast and conversation. their platoon people sound interesting, seems like army does expose you to much more than the jungle..and i realise i do miss those two morons and all their nonsense (though i must admit i think i am worse than them). :/ haha and i realise some things never change; like how we still have to depend on Coll to decide where to eat and how Clem takes forever to decide what to order.
9.30-10.15am: returned to school to deliver Mrs Wan her kopi and continued bumming around in the kbl. Clem started to playing that nice Japanese piece (Fisherman's Wharf??) and Coll played some jazzy chords for Sunday Morning. :) good music in the morning makes me a happy person! and after a while, I had no idea why but three of us started singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow (hahahaa, we startled a few churchgoers i'm sure) whilst trooping down to dump our stuff in the Still lizard-infested, bbq-scented room.
10.15-11.59am: went for the ACS Sunday Living Waters Service, missed the choir's first song (typical lateness :/) but heard the other two songs.. met becca, steph saw, ali and his cute sister (who didn't know i was teaching in sm. lol!) and some others :) and listened to the sermon about living water. really some food for thought. (i really appreciate the daily devotions i get/got in ac and sm, it scares me to think that in a week or so, this presence or ritual/habit will be gone.. :/)
