forever has now begun

so it's been a really eventful week. xinni tired; xinni has done more than her body can handle lately. xinni need SLEEP.

the week started off with like the usual drama.. well, a little more than our usual share for the week. i must say it made it veryy interesting. i like how there's always goss flying around in our group!

we (van, stef, elena and i) decided to do mooting, which i am super excited about, even though i think there's a high chance of sucking. i wish the timing of the competition is a little better, because i hate the thought of not being able to do my best for it. i was really determined to do it because i didn't want it to be one of those things i look back on and regret passing up.
more importantly, this is a brilliant excuse to buy SHIRTS *drools*
tommy hilfiger new season stock on sale this weds!! must validate spending money on shirts.:D

then thursday was the long awaited LAW BALL. <3
those of us that didn't go, went to karaoke and wailed our lungs out. something i've been itching to get out of my system for ages!!
even though i saw the pretty pretty decorations (ice sculptures and stuff) i don't regret not going. wouldn't have been fun without the group anyway. the APARTMENT got pretty interesting!
many drinking games later..
many interesting conversations later..
i stumbled into bed and fell asleep, and jumped out the next morning yelling for GREASY FOOD.

here's the loserish thing - i didn't get owned by the alcohol, i got owned by a greasy mcmuffin the next morning. puking twice in the state library disabled toilets = not cool. i am never having a mcmuffin ever again! know how you can taste it when it comes up? ugh. not pretty..

and we went in search of a restaurant for david's birthday dinner. after combing through like, all of chinatown etc, we ended up at docklands.

sitting on the boardwalk with the black water rippling smoothly around us, i felt all the worries of the week slip away. suddenly it was like i was living the moment in full detail, the lights glinting off the surface of the water, the wind sending chills down my spine, the fresh air so cold it burned when i inhaled, the stars sparkling above, the lights of the city, far away to admire and the quiet! so many times it's never .. quiet around me. there are always people wanting to be heard, noises from everyday life.. etc.
david was there, and van was there. i couldn't have asked for better company. two people i love so much, sharing the same best moment of my week. van found us the pointers and the brightest star in the sky. today i looked for them again and found them.. and i was sooo glad that they were still there.. the knowledge that some things will not change as the world changes around you is oddly comforting.

i could have stayed there forever.

and today was david's dinner. after all the stress of finding a place all week.. today was worth it.
david said something that made me want to cry, but in a good way.. and that for me made it all worth it. i want to write it so i'll never forget it!

janean came home, and all is happy :) i laugh so much when janjan is here, if anyone can make me forget stress, its janean.

we walked to the edge of the water again today. but it wasn't with the same tranquility as yesterday, not the same contentment to sit in silence. today's silence had an awkward tint to it, like people felt the need to fill it. yesterday's silence was different.

and so now, it's sunday. the week ahead is jam packed. i don't know if i'll make it through alive.

but i do know this: yesterday and today is enough to carry me through next week.

so thanks guys, thanks for making it special.
