i woke up this morning to a Veritable Avalanche of facebook wallposts to and from shumin, a longish private facebook message from abigail, and, finally, to shannon being online and on skype - although i had no webcam so he had no chance to laugh at my just-out-of-bed hair. he had one though, so i got to take one look at his hair (before i decided to close the webcam window).
he recently won a competition where the contestants had to make dresses out of bedsheets, and his creation is currently still on display (i think) at centrepoint. go visit it if you have the chance to.
and i KNEW the guys wouldn't meet up without SOMEONE continually harrassing them to do so. quents if you're reading this it's time for some island creamery. though guys eating ice cream together seems the teensiest bit gay.

last night we had dinner at a cosy bar called lush, and we were waiting for happy hour before ordering drinks so paul couldn't quite bring himself to finish his burger at the speed he wanted to because he was feeling thirsty.
happy hour finally rolled around, and after our frozen lime margaritas arrived (probably the best i've seen and therefore the first i've tasted, it didn't disappoint) he took a few sips, and proceeded to give his beef burger a few pats before picking it up and taking a few bites out of it.
he put it down again when he realised we were all looking at him in amusement.
err, paul, why did you pat your burger? jinni asked.
he looked rather shocked that we'd noticed, then he just shrugged and said err i just patted it lah.
after taking a few more bites from the burger, he said after all, it's a beef patty right?

every friday night at 五道口 (wu3 dao4 kou3), the happening centre of our district (海淀区 (hai3 dian4 qu1)), an entire stretch of pavement will be filled with people selling things illegally, wares displayed on canvas sheets, ready to be packed up in an instant if the police come.
jinni and i have already contemplated helping xiaoyun sell off the clothes she bought on a whim and doesn't quite like anymore in this manner, except that we're lacking a canvas sheet.
there will also be people selling puppies, and i saw kittens being sold for the first time last night. they were so small and cuddly and furry and cute (a girly response, after all). we keep wanting to bring one home because we don't want to think about what will happen to them if they don't get sold, but we're leaving in three months or so so it wouldn't be a very wise idea.
i like cats. meow meow.
