ok. got over it. from now on, i am going to try and stop hoping that anything nice will actually happen on my birthday because it won't. without hoping anything, at least i won't feel so pathetic.

but i think that is somehow impossible cos humans are a creature of hopes to begin with. but at least doing that will somehow minimise the impact?

had a talk with wenqin eariler in the afternoon and it was kinda funny with the two of us comparing whose birthdays was worse. felt better after that.

the past two days weren't too bad actually so it would have been a pretty good weekend if it wasn't my birthday.

the class celebrated my birthday with the usual two one person size cakes that everyone gets. come to think of it, there's really alot of people born on august isn't there? i think the time 10 months before august is a good time to do something?

anyway, it was pretty funny cos they got me the trick candle which would reignite after blowing it out. pity was that i already knew what it was cos i saw it once on my uncle's birthday where he blew 40+ of them out and got a shock when they all relighted.

tip: if your candle looks very thin and the flame is super strong even in the wind, chances are that it's a trick candle so prepare for it.

sat was kinda packed. went for the film forum thingy cos i couldn't find an excuse not to cos the teacher already asked mrs koh for leave. it was pretty interesting though, with film makers talking about the process they went through when they made a film. there were a few guestspeakers like a horny old man who made a movie 30 years ago when where was still wilderness in singapore and the author of talkingcock.com. it was pretty interesting to hear a lively q&a session for once although they were mainly by outsiders.

felt pretty bad about not going for mrs koh lecture though... especially as i even went to ask her if we could join the lecture halfway cos i didn't want to miss the whole lecture but in the end also nvr go. but really could find a good time to go la.

then after eating a hurried lunch, took cab down to sdba and had to like almost immediatly jump into the boat.

rowing was quite ok that day and it was pretty fun on both the mixed boats and on the guys boat but for different reasons.

after we got on shore though... it was horrible. i got pinned down and tortured. shalln't mention how i got tortured here cos it's too embarrasing. it was freaking painful though.

went to golden mile to eat with some of the guys and then went to some super ulu place to play pool that no one would have expected to exist if someone didn't bring you there. had a pretty fun time there too.

after that though, i made a bad choice. i saw suntec city de building in the distance and thought we were quite near it and convinced the others to walk to there instead of walking to lavander station which was near there. turns out that what you can see isn't always very near cos we walked for like 50 minutes before we got to city hall? lol... walked from kallang to city hall lor. win liao.

luckily, the others were nice ppl and didn't blame me for it. had an enjoyable time walking through a part of the CBD that we wouldn't usually see. and there was alot of great looking food on the way too! pity we had already ate...

there's this steamboat shop that spans a huge stretch of the street with full tables all the way and loads of ppl queuing. and i really mean a huge stretch cos there were 3 seperate long queues for the steamboat. though the food didn't look that great to me la.

walking long distance in slippers is not good for your feet.

anticipitation brings hope. hope brings you to hope about surprises. and hoping for surprises that never comes makes you feel like shit.

if i can have a wish, i wish that i can forget my birthday so that anything that happens will be a pleasant surprise instead of having to hope for something that never comes.
