it's 5:45 AM and I'm in the comp lab in SMU ... ??
hmm, strange huh? I'm here to help Dominic with some video editing for his presentation. Well, as usual, we were slow starting and now that it's dawning, we've hardly had anything done. I managed to help him plan the presentation abit, select appropriate music for the video, and look through all the raw footage. Now he's snuck off somewhere and I'm left in the lab waiting for the footage to be encoded to MPEG so I can bring it back to my place to proxy edit. yeah, and I'm waiting for Food Haven (the SMU food court) to open so I can go have a nice breakfast of waffles with egg and sausage. =) I like nice breakfasts - it's early in the morning with the air still chilly; I have a nice cup of coffee (latte will be great!) and food resembling breakfast; as I sip my latte, I'm reading the papers and listening to morning radio. Ah, Bliss, you seldom visit! Somehow most of my breakfasts are 1) hurried, 2) ANYthing that fills, 3) just a drink from the fridge, 4) lunch.
It was Felicia's birthday yesterday (Monday. hmm, technically the day before). I was so tired after staying up the previous night doing the Robotics project that I fell asleep in the evening (in addition to the 5+ hours of sleep on a bench at West HQ in Engin). Missed the mini celebration that some of the others (Ben, Eugene, Jason, Yeing^2) held for her. Heard there was good cake and wine. I think Yeing^2 msged me on icq or sms, can't remember. Saw the msg when I woke up 11+ thinking, oh no, I haven't got anything for Felicia and I probably missed whatever the rest had in store for her. Went to her blog and read about the great time she had at Mezza9 with her family. She mentioned that Jacq her good friend was the first to send birthday wishes at midnight so I thought, hey I can be the last ... haha!
So I was indeed the last to wish Felicia Happy Birthday on her 20th. Garry tried but he was a few minutes past midnight so it didn't count. Now I sound like a silly schoolboy. =P We had a good time chatting on the phone for an hour or so. Rather funny since she's like, just 3 floors above me. That's ok I guess, since she's got CPP (Caller Party Pay, gotta tech-speak a little sometimes) and I just simply have more than enough talktime.
Anyway, I think you might be reading this Felicia, so let me tell you: Thanks for being a great friend. You mentioned that we've been in the same class since first year sem 1, and that we've grown closer each sem. Yeah, I agree. =) Anyway, I think you're smart and talented, with a wonderful heart. Don't always think you're lesser than what you really are. And your cheeriness never fails to brighten up the day. As for your girlishness/motherliness/innocence/"frilliness?", now don't keep thinking it's a bad thing. Please stay that way! =) I know you will always be irritated when all of us tease you about those, so mwahahaha..... And by the way, don't worry about your SEP, I doubt people will forget someone as lovable as you in such a short while. =)
