(wednesday 1am, actually)

i wonder, if everyone were to blog about goodbyes, would it all read the same? would we all write about how everything seems brighter, bigger, happier, sadder...? would we talk about all the "last times", last breakfast, last walk to the grocery store, last kiss, last bus ride, last swim, last....whatever? would we all talk about the things our hearts left behind and the things they now carry forward? i figure it would all sound the same, especially at that "final goodbye".

please excuse me. reading about z's last days on exchange, recollecting my own in wildwood, jeremy and joyce leaving tomorrow, fanglong leaving next month, me leaving tomorrow night (only for 2 weeks lar), people dying...it all just, you know, makes me wonder...

on another note, it has been raining incessantly! and now, there's this hole in my ceiling and the rain has sneakily found its way there. and THROUGH there. i realised putting a pail underneath would be pretty futile because the water splashes in all directions once it gets through that hole. so, little miss smarty pants shireen decided to put a plastic bag right under the hole, with the help of jeevan MUTTON-NI!


here's a close-up of the ingenius contraption.


a blue plastic bag and a whole army of wristbands from moreys piers. god only knows how useful those things were.


and we can only hope that as i sleep tonight, the bag will not come loose and release a torrent of cold rainwater onto my face. tonight, the wristbands of morey's will be put to the test. yes, tonight, we will see.

alright, time to sleep. think i should be able to blog from the states. pravin, be good. i'll miss you. seriously.
