.Stop counting down. PLEASE.

..urgh everyone's counting down counting down counting down to Manilla, and it's starting to get me down too..i don't feel ready for it, i feel too tired, i ate too much and i didn't rest enough..(ok fine i'm just whining but just humour me, will y'all?) The team's leaving next thursday, exactly 6 days from tomorrow..die la..suddenly it seems so near..and i was just getting comfortable complaining about how our tapering never seems to be coming..-sigh- oh well..
seems like everyone's starting to making my day their life-duty..hehe..(ok dat sounds ego too but humour me one more time, will you?!) today lyn gave me 2 collages that she rushed in the afternoon (which reminds me, i better go read the letter stuck behind..)..well, the glue were smudgey in some areas, not enough in others..and the pictures weren't exactly plasma-screen quality, and some were cut wrongly and hastily stuck together..but that's what made it so sweet. it wasn't so much how it looked..or how well the pictures were pasted..it was the memories contained in all of the pictures that made the collage(s) so sweet..-grin- i think i've got the sweetest friends..not the best-looking ones or smartest ones, but definitely the sweetest..=P
anyhow, 3 days ago marcc dedicated his latest post to me..in return for my dedicated post to him and map..and the collage (hrmm now come to think of it collages DO seem to be the IN thing this season, huh?) he did was really lovely too..pictures of us ever since the montreal trip when we started to actually utilise our cameras (and he forgot to bring charger..Einstein, that guy.) and again the memories of botha us just being total idi*ts making a fool of ourselves infront of the lenses just came rushing back. Everyone's getting so caught up thinking about medals and results for the games, but i think i already got the best gift anyone could get.

Friendship

ok fine so maybe it sounds damn cliche and some of you probably rolled your eyes and mouthed a "sheesh"..-shrug- call me mr. cliche then..haha..(i wonder what he looks like..i know mr. messy's kinda cute..mr. worry has a nice colour..hrmmmm...)

leo's coming back day after tomorrow!! haha..dat means dinner + presents from him..can't wait to see the ah beng..he did kinda well although he fell sick there..poor chap..nvm lyn will nurse him back to health in no time..and ann's gonna buy me dinner tomorrow AND this weekend the office guys are having a farewell dinner for me (followed by Zouk but i have a self-imposed ban from there till the 6th of Dec.) and then pam's organising an early birthday gathering for herself (haha..so cute la she) and all of us gotta attend so..looks like weekend is packed. (And i'll have more miles on the road than a comfort taxi driver on any given day. )

..tomorrow i'm gonna cut my hair..let's see how that goes. i'm out.
