} amazing but true (VANISH power O2 - bang! and the dirt is gone!)

today started on a crappy note but things just got better and better as it went along.

somehow i found some strength and awake-ness within me to more or less finish the case summary assignment on 3 hours of sleep, even with my strangely defective MS word (that doesnt let me select/highlight any words with my mouse, so i have to rely on arrow keys to navigate, which gets irritating after a while).

i think i may have learned something from the extra contract lecture, for the first time since law school started.

for one or two surreal hours, my family felt like a family.
and the moment was captured on camera.
and i've given up on myself in taking good photos, haha, which i kinda see as a good thing cos maybe i can be less vain.

i was, like, the first person to hand in my assignment! HAHA. ok im not so competitive as to be so happy about this kinda thing, but its a first, so... i feel strangely proud of myself for finishing an assignment so FRIKKIN EARLY. HAHA. (of course its only because i know i wont be able to submit it last-min since i had to go to work...)

i met 2 of my BRUDDERS
which is always a joy in itself
although the joy was further EXPANDED with good food.

i got lost
(from clarke quay to city hall)
HAHA. when these things happen suddenly everything seems funny. ok im weird.

and i had a marvellous! shift at max brenner's. i really enjoyed working today. my brain, and other people, are telling me that i should stop soon, but truth is im getting very attached and i know i'd miss the place terribly. but just in case. i got myself a souvenir! hahaha. one of the signature max b's cups was chipped and wendy (the lady boss) told me to throw it away, but instead i got it washed and brought it home.... shhh.

and i discovered, or re-discovered, the kindness of strangers and acquaintances.
makes me feel like i dont always have to rely on myself. and i can afford to be stupid once in a while. ok im stupid a lot of times, but i can afford not to feel guilty once in a while.

God is good.
life is good.
the 'Baa Baa Pita' at coffee club is also good. everyone should try it.
