today was a nice day, simply because it just was. it's evening, there's nice weather, and two people in particular made my day.

the first was ruishan. i was feeling a bit bleah - it seemed like everyone i knew was representing silly qian duo duo so they had to come at 0930 which meant that i had to endure the bransome client interview at 1030 alone. well, not alone, because i had my firm with me. they're great people but it's strange being in school without the people you're close to.

but lo and behold, rui, mag and yalan's firm was also representing bransome! and lovely ruishan, being the lovely person she is (and also bored to tears) started smsing me in chinese. i've mentioned before that lcs is like our practice chinese class. and just so you know, it was reported in mind your body today that being billingual slows down the onset of dementia. it pays to be huayu cool, ok! hurhur and the first sms she sends me reads "wei she me ni mei you gen ni the zu yuan zuo?" except that she's put zuo dong xi that zuo instead of zuo for sit.

yesterday we also found out that when paul's bluetooth is on his laptop name is SUGAR. neither i nor rui know why and paul refuses to spill.

sugar????

the second person to make my day was THE TV ANTENNA REPAIR MAN!!!!!!

my mother actually said before that she only wanted to get our antenna fixed after the next door neighbours finished their construction, but i think not being able to watch amercian idol properly made her change her mind. not only is our channel 5 finally unfuzzy, for the first time in about FIVE YEARS our channel 8 is clear again! i kid you not, on that point - the last time i watched a show on channel 8 on an unfuzzy screen was in secondary three. that was chang jia, long vacation, the japanese show dubbed over in chinese. does anybody even remember it?

i told my mum about the lightning rabbit thing and she said my professor probably got the idea from john updike's rabbit, run. she said i should read it so i went back to the central library yesterday to borrow it. i hope it aids my public law assignment in some way - it's a satire on american society. i only borrowed it because i thought it might help - but maybe it's just an excuse, and in reading it i'm trying to convince myself that i'm doing work related things because really, it's a novel. but i suppose it would help in my perspective on why america and individualism isn't all it's made out to be. i'm currently half-way through the night watch and it was going fabulously but i haven't touched it since school started, i've been that busy.

sunday night with quen and jon was good. it felt safe, and just like old times, sitting on jon's carpet picking lint off his cushion covers as the three of us watched the devil wears prada. we ALL enjoyed it very much. incidentally, he has a chair upholstered in the same fabric as his cushion covers.

wednesday's still cca day in mgs, so i saw a lot of mg girls today. and i suddenly missed wearing my uniform. not school, you understand, i just missed wearing my mg uniform. because jon's such a retard maybe i'll be able to convince him to wear his acsi uniform out with me one day someday soon.
