3 degrees of Seperation.

Hey! I'm in early today! Had a good siesta this afternoon so i'm in a mood to say something more than 'i'm tired' :P

So many things have been happening so quickly this month! Its almost crazy! But, hey - i'm loving it! I realise one thing important- that being appreciative is actually the key to one being happy and not having so much that it could last u for 10 lifetimes. Just a simple sense of gratitude neh (: Wonder how it took me so long to realise that. Maybe its because it took me so long to learn how to appreicate and accept things. But, i'm definitely learning. Learn fast Mae! haha (:

Yesterday, i went for some karaoke with some University peeps. Its sometimes cool how you are a friend of another and how people can actually be link to you in some complex web of friendship or another. But, i think i should get use to it considering how small Singapore is - they say six degrees of seperation - but here, its probably only 2-3 degrees of seperation.

Thats how close i am to you and you are to me. haha.

Well, the other day i was in NUS to submit my student exchange documents and on my way out from the Japanese Studies department i met this long haired girl with a very Japanese air to her. I had thought she was Japanese! We got into the same lift and i asked her "which floor?" since i was nearer to the lift buttons.

She: "i don't know"

Me: "hahaha. where you wanna go? Canteen is on the second floor bla bla."

She: "Where are you going?"

Me: "History department to collect something."

She: "Oh! Are u a History major?"

Me: "Nope. Japanese studies Major"

She: "Ok lor, i follow you"

Me to myself "This girl is cool lah. (: "

We became fast friends and on our very first very interesting meeting we chatted for an hour! From 3pm to 4pm! I asked for her number as i had enjoyed talking to her and then she told me she couldn't get mine as her phone had dropped into the toilet bowl. hahaha (:

I was starting to like this new friend of mine even more!

Well, apparently this other friend of mine knows her. And i received a very hyped up call from a very excited Totoro aka Jansen (:P) one night.

Jansen: "Mae!!! You know Wan Wei ar? The one who drop her phone in the toilet bowl?"

Me: "Oh yar. I met in the lift the other day in school."

Jansen: "wahahahhahahahahahahahahaha"

I forgot what he had said, all i remember was that he was very very very happy and sounded very very excited upon realising that we are actually linked up in the friendster kind of way! haha.

Next thing i know, we were at Cash Box Karaoke yesterday singing to our heart's delight along with other friends of Wan Wei's. The Karaoke joint was darn cool. I think it specially caters to Japanese people as the Japanese songs are endless but the Chinese and English song list ends very soon. haha. A pity i only know a handful of Japanese songs but everyone was very game and very sporting. So, we were encourage to 'never mind la and anyhow sing.'

And anyhow sing i did (:

Oh well, that was yesterday's karaoke. San san san, i'll make it a point to bring you to cashbox soon! You'll be so fasinated by the Japanese MTVs and the songs la. haha. No more scenes of penguins walking around on the beach as with the KBox music videos. hehe (:

"Sakura Sakura..lalalalalalala." Their Milo was blah though. $6.00 for a cup of dyed-brown-hot-water. ): heh.

Oh! I met up with my sis -Dolldoll- on Monday! ^-* Super fun la the KTV! We just mangled all our songs and screamed along when the notes got a little high! *Gaffaws! Dai Ai Ling's Tui De Ren is a killer song to nail and with more screeching practices, i'm sure i'm able to sing it in front of more people other than my best friends and sisters. haha (:

Anyways, after that we went to Genki Sushi for some sushi. haha. like DUH. She introduced some salmon wrapped sushi and it made me super happy la (: hahaha. We talked alot while eating at the sushi counter. Okay. I have to stop here though i have more to say about our conversation.

Mum wants to go for supper! (: *yeay!

haha! Good that i have a greedy mum like myself.

:P

Oyasumi.
