One week ago, I'd never imagine myself to be this happy. Not that I was clinically depressed but I was practically empty.

It's strange how things can change within a matter of days when it remained stasis for years (one year and 364 days). And all it took was a moment of honesty and courage. Maybe if I had had that courage way back in time, I would have been a much happier person then. But nonetheless, I'm still very very happy now and I'm glad to say I survived the entire ordeal.

I'm sorry friends, for all these cryptic messages but you can probably guess what I'm writing about. I don't think I've announced anything officially but if you've been following me on LJ long enough you'd know (eh sama! that means you too!)

This week's passing quickly but wayyyy too slowly at the same time. The only thing that made me really happy since sunday was the long stroll from somerset to novena on a typical tuesday night. I can't wait for friday and then I can't wait for sunday! School's been a bitch but I've had awesome friends to pull me along and I know there's a fantastic someone who's with me at every step.

At least the day before hell begins has been rather peaceful. A late morning, slow walk, car ride (joy ride:D - haha!), a quick jog with marcus and qb. Then dinner with the rest! It's feels awesome to see James, Moses, Buns, Song and Jo again (thank you Jo for organising this mass gathering cause it must not have been easy). And I'm so gonna miss relaxing nights like these where we can just sit around and play card/board games for 2 hours, chill out with Tau Huay the minute the clock strikes 2pm tomorrow - it's the start of the 13 weeks of hell.

So anyway, HELL begins with a 2 hour lecture tomorrow (I'm still 1 module short btw). And usually I'd give intro mods like these a miss especially when (... keith would understand...) but because it's project save C-A-P, I shall stick to my resolution to go for lectures no matter how dreary they will be. Just 2 pictures to sum up all the fun and laughter we had tonight.

In the meantime, I shall rid depression by killing zombies.
 

After we were all stuffed with food because we kind of over-prepared, we played a few rounds of TABOO! where we spent so much energy laughing, we could have dessert after that. In one particular game, team SJI (consisting of James, Qb and Mel's primary 3 brother) had to guess the word "pierce" and Qb was desperately trying to describe it to James through the description of piercing ear holes but instead of using the word "pierce" like normal people do, James used to word "punctured" - hahaaha- puncture a ear hole. 
 
POST dessert saw us taking a risk on the adventure of our lives - a ride in Mel's car (after Fel left). Before we were even out of our condo's compound, she already mounted the curb once and nearly crashed into the wall. We made it to Dempsey successfully and took about 15 minutes trying to park the car nicely into the lot but we still failed in the end. But it was the trip home that was most exciting! After dropping qb off, we were cruising along the highway peacefully when a crazy car sped past us. Mel panicked, swerved right and crashed her right mirror. So from that moment onwards, we were practically driving around without knowing what dangers lurk on the right while changing lanes. But we managed to get back home safely albeit the little adventure.

Oooh we took so many pictures last night on Mel's new camera! I'll post some here once she uploads them - that may mean weeks later when she gets back from Japan.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
