oh, tim tams!

yesterday was an excellent piece of evidence as to why ill-disciplined young children should never be left at home alone. i didn't get a stitch of work done. or the day before. or the day before either. and i should really stop here. so much for getting my homework done before leaving.

van and i went down to the spca (too) bright and early in the morning. there's a new baby there. i have no idea why i say baby when i really mean puppy, but there you have it. it's a perfectly adorable two-month-old crossbreed. and i bet someone will adopt it soon. it's too cute to resist. not that the other dogs aren't; but this particular one has such an adorable little baby face, and the way it shook its head vigorously with its toy in its mouth was awww-worthy. maternal instincts, galore! then there was a male dog with the prettiest face - and way of sitting! it crossed its legs. i am not kidding. then again, as i told van, with a name like huerd, what do you expect? i would have named it draco, with its arrogant face and stately air.

and i wish i could strangle annie. the awful girl showed me ugly pictures of tom felton. i am now traumatised for life. i never said tom felton was good looking. draco and tom felton are two very different people. takeshi kaneshiro is hot though, just to digress. anyway my point is, i'm madly in love with draco and remus as they are in fanfics, and not as they are on film or in the book. although i must say that i like draco's smirk very much. there's something about arrogant people, isn't there? it's all very banal to want something that you can't get.

last night ally and i went out to celebrate her birthday in advance. i planned to surprise her with a bumboat ride down the singapore river, but her pictures turned out a bit shaky. excellent dinner, though. after that we sat by the river and watched the water.. at least, i did. she was busy with her tripod and camera. then we decided (trust me, it took forever and three days) to just go on the boat ride anyway. uncle jay was very nice; he still remembers me, and was as friendly as ever. there was no one else on the boat, and we didn't make any other stops. we sat on the deck (is it a deck? i have no idea. the flat place in front where you aren't allowed to stand) and let the breeze whip our hair into tangled messes. being so close to the water, with no railings in front or anything to block your view, i could almost imagine myself flying. almost. the steady forward motion that ate up the river and left ripples in its wake.. and the lights all around, and silhouettes of couples standing too close by the river..

today was boring. i alternated between sleeping and eating. my conscience now demands that i have my first supper and procede with my homework. how i'll ever finish in time is beyond me. it's so much nicer to curl up somewhere, a hundred soft clouds to dream into being. and slightly chilled tim tams, of course!
