since you've been gone

i was finally rostered to fly to cape town and went on a frantic sight-seeing/photo-taking rampage once i got there, tackling the gorgeous table mountain on the first day, then cruising out hout bay to see seals and whales, the penguin colony, wine tasting at groot constantia, climbing up to beautiful, windy cape point and getting blown away by/at the cape of good hope on the second. (wah very long sentence).

i turned 26 by eating a lot - dinner at saint pierre with gracie and andong, drinks at klee, supper at crystal jade with the klee boys, buffet lunch at the line with the parents, maccas with chern, buffet dinner at daidamon with tian, gracie, netty, debra, chern, step, ian, daniel, ang, charles and gabriel, dinner with edmund at blooie's, and dinner at valentino's with mark, gary, pet and fai.

watched avenue q which turned out to be okay - first half was much better than the second.

bought a pair of green ferragamo ballerina flats when i was in LA. yikes!

chern got me the nokia e71 i've been thinking of buying =)

you are stronger than you think you are

it has been more than a month and still it seems surreal, a nightmare i can't seem to wake up from. at times, i forget, and those are the best times - when i can pretend that i will still see your rainbow appear on my msn list; when i can pretend that i can still reach for my phone and text you some inane nonsense i just thought of; when i can pretend that going to normanton will still mean lazing around with you, playing mahjong, eating good/junk food.

i guess it does get better with time but you are still sorely missed.

i just got back from bombay yesterday evening. the night i spent there, terrorists attacked several parts of the city. they didn't attack my hotel but hey, if they had, i would be with you right now and that wouldn't be so bad, would it?
