tomorrow, i will smile more than i did today.
if i strain my ears, i can hear the fireworks going off over at marina bay. then if i close my eyes and imagine, i think of multi-coloured fireballs exploding into stars high up in the sky. plastered against the blackness of the night sky i suppose it would be a pretty sight. and all the faces illuminated under the light of the fireworks must add to the whole atmosphere.
and here i am, holed up away at home, being a total hermit. i'm not even watching the fireworks on tv even though my entire family (minus my brother who is as usual glued to his computer) is. sigh.
honey and clover has this really interesting bit about fireworks. i think it was something about their being so short-lived; they shoot up, explode, and then fade away into nothingness such that it becomes hard for us to remember what colour or what shape they were. but even if we forget how they looked like, we'll always remember the face of the person next to us at that moment -- that is why you can't watch fireworks alone. or something like that.
okay, 2008 hasn't been a wonderful year for me, but i survived, and there are parts of it i wouldn't ever want to forget. and i'm still supposed to do up a to-shoot list aren't i! okay, just for the fun of it, here goes.
1. chinhaha i've always told chin he's no.1 on my to-shoot list. and there are many, many reasons for his claiming the top spot. first, he teased me endlessly about flamingoes back when sam first gave me that name. then, he shot down all my zombie plans A to E! except zombie plan C, because that happens to include him. and, he bullies everyone on dota because no one except maybe peiyen is really his match. so that means i get killed a lot, and then he laughs about it. plus there was that time he stole my ezlink card which had my super embarassing primary 5 photo on it that i will not show anyone and TOOK A PICTURE OF IT. i hope you deleted it already chin, or i will come look for you with a chainsaw. if i think of any more reasons why chin's no.1 on my to-shoot list i think i will go shoot him right this instant, so i shall stop here.
okay, so actually the rest of the to-shoot list just consists of names that aren't ranked, because i've only ever classified chin as no.1 to shoot because he was so mean. anyway, moving on...
samokay, sam's on the list because she totally came up with the name flamingo! and because she tricked me into thinking she wanted to study with me, only to surprise me with like 1/3 of the class gathered at the food centre near my house. and because she's a pochama but refuses to admit it. and she also randomly matches me up with people and tells me they are good catches! *puts on a very serious tone* sam, i am loyal to ikuta toma, edison chen, kim ki bum, lee donghae, lee joon ki, josh hartnett...
rabwhat more can i say. rab's my enemy. she's my love rival (for sam, not charles lol), and we have this whole mutual hate thing going on. honestly. we hate each other's guts. we even write each other hate notes! i still have them as proof. we're true, honest-to-goodness foes okay. therefore she must definitely be on my to-shoot list. it's just a question of what gun to use really... hehe.
yimeanbecause she's constantly laughing at my height and making jokes like shortguns and all. pfft. i will grow mushrooms on your head yimean!! and also because she's the lamest person you'll ever meet, super random and always ready with a very lame thing to say that makes everyone groan because it's so so lame. haha. and she also keeps trying to steal ichigo from me!! not that she's ever going to succeed. hehe.
okay i'm too bored to carry on. and technically my to-shoot list doesn't even exist, because i can't shoot any of them. if i shoot chin, there goes my zombie plan C, which according to chin is my only viable one anyway. if i shoot sam, i lose my partner for all my zombie plans, and no more class outings would get planned. if i shoot rab, charles would totally kill me. and then i'd have no one to annoy and get entertained by anyway. and if i shoot yimean, there will only be rach and i left in the go-gaga-over-bleach-characters-club and it wouldn't be as fun. therefore, the way i see it, my to-shoot list cannot exist.
i am rambling so much today, and for no good reason too. it's probably because i finally finished reading grotesque, which was really nothing more than a rambling whine. so much for having to good read with which to usher in the new year, sigh.
sam tells me that the potluck dinner will probably be at my house. thank you for organising everything sam, it's been really hard on you! but i'm sure everything will be fun for the dinner. i promise i will be a good hostess and not cram everyone into the tiny room and make you guys watch the rest play xbox like i usually (and selfishly) do. haha i will go rummage around for my twister mat or maybe my ddr mats as well so everyone can do stuff instead of sitting around being bored.
but maybe... hopefully... chris will suddenly miraculously reply sam telling her that he can book a function room or something. okay i'm just being downright lazy here, haha. it's just that you guys must all be bored of my place already anyway, having been here any number of times...
alright i think i should go off and sleep. first resolution for the new year involves sleeping more but not excessively. the second is this -- tomorrow, i will smile more than i did today.
happy new year people. ^^
