A la Bollywood, cue cheesy music.
Oh you make my day, never mind we’re making ourselves dizzy with the quick changes of topics on nothing in particular, nope, wrong subject when you said no thanks, and I thought you were being cheeky with reference to my nick, when it’s the msg of a job offer.

Your birthday was my misery- from the very first few minutes when I was up to my knees in research and hearing the alarm in my phone to that it’s your birthday. And being in different rooms because my phone was being charged but without looking at it, I knew it was your birthday despite trying to forget the past few days and I did so successfully, but this slightest thing triggered and everything came flooding back.
I added you back on msn, to see that irate nick, and wished you a Happy birthday, despite my fears it would be my dignity and pride lost if what I thought were true.
I wished you happiness… but I knew it was sorrow for me.
Morning was a continuation of exhaustion following the night of project working, morning rush, afternoon deadline, afternoon class.
Then the day went on, happy because Kitty and Jas were larks as can be, but history frustrated me. From being late, to waiting for 3 odd hours to present. My restlessness is evident in my chowing of the candy, cigs and sunflower seeds. Loo breaks, and even returning a school library book. Bloody book has to trigger every fucking sensor, even on Sat’s date with crush and HMV sensors went off. But was saved the embarassment since I was walking in- still, FUCK U NAFA LIBRARY. I still love my school though.
Even the prospects of seeing Crush after school was well, crushed, cuz Portia has preview tickets to Lady In The Water which I wanted to watch since I adore M.Night Shyamalan. I walked away, not knowing we didn’t return, because there wasn’t enough time.
But the flick rocked, and a good friend so patiently waiting for me to complete my shots after that, pre-movie starbucks green tea frap, my FAV mtv SAY SOMETHIN’ in the cathay waiting area post movie- enough to save the day.
But as I made my way home, What’s left of me by Nick Lachey tried to break me down, and because I don’t cry in public-
12.10am, happy 18th birthday to you.

Oh green tea, I want some green tea now. I am still a coffee lover, but a green tea slave now.
