Mephisto asked, apropos of absolutely nothing, "Yes or no?"
After I got over the wtf-ness of it all, I remembered this, so I said, "Yes."
He chuckled and walked out of the office.

Orange And Lemons - 'Let Me'
Album: Moonlane Gardens
When I first ran, it wasn't from you, but a part of you - which I hadn't seen since - and I'd missed you terribly then, even more than I miss you now.
And I miss you plenty.
Post from a year ago, to the day: "Are we all living like this?"

Leona Lewis - 'Bleeding Love'
Album: Spirit
Okay, so I figured I'm sorta 'itching' to pull the m.o.c. stunt only because it's that big red button that's labelled 'DON'T PUSH' - and wouldn't ya know it, I just gotta ...
But, more seriously, I've been googling today and toying with the idea of setting up an FD in NZD: NZD 20,000 for 3 months in a local bank (prolly DBS unless there're better rates out there); then maybe I roll half of it over for another 3 months while moving the other half to National Bank of NZ for 6 months - pretty good rates in NZ (even though IRD'll take a large chunk of it =/)?
Wish I had a brain for money ... =(
(Embarrassingly, I'm wicked mad about this song right now.)

The sound of you sleeping
The parents will be in Korea the whole of this week, starting tomorrow, and I feel like I have to take care of everything in the house, make sure everything's all right - it's so different than living on my own.

The sound of you sleeping
I feel good about myself at pole today. Was rather disappointed we didn't learn any new tricks; all we did were a combination spin, and a revision of all the inverts we'd done so far.
But during pole prac, I managed the butt-slide without falling over, did the headstand (less problems kicking up than anticipated, but still needed some guidance for the legs), and - YESH! (at long last) - the inverted saddle. Also tried going into the ball from scissors, but it looked funny - gotta work on that.
Back: Hurting like fuck, in additional to beaning myself with a spannar on the temple.

The sound of you sleeping
Woke up with horrendous gastritis this morning; thankfully it sorta disappeared by 14:00, so I didn't have to cancel dinner with the Unholy Trinity.
Today's crazy idea: Marriage of convenience - Jason's suggested solution on how I could get out my money from the CPF without giving up my citizenship. It also involves some property speculation.
The scary thing is, I am considering it, considering how easy it is for me and Germ to marry (just SGD 5 each and we're set).
Hm.
(Happy Mephisto's Birth Day.)

The sound of you sleeping
Mephisto is forced to hang around town 'til late next week.
Day 2 of having him in the office after such a long hiatus: Not to tempt Providence, but his presence still cheers me some. Today, I got to play with his cell phone, fixing to set 'The Gunner's Dream' as his ringtone. (He made me read the lyrics yesterday, and they reminded me of this poem we had to read for Modern Poetry).
I've pulled something in my back again. Yesterday's salsa and half-hearted pole prac didn't help. Was in a bit of pain today, just sitting in the office.

Mephisto seemed to be in a good mood today. We had an easy lunch ('easy' by my standards - as opposed to 'stilted' and 'awkward') during which he bantered and referred to my non-existent boyfriend at least three times.
Much easier to nod than remind him I don't in fact have one and don't know why I don't have one, so I did.
Seems like everybody I know is inquiring about my boyfriend, Mr. Right; but when your boss starts 'nagging' you about it ...
Gaaah.

The Frames - 'Star Star (Pure Imagination)'
Album: Set List
I am reverting to form. It's like 2006 all over again.
I am reverting to form. It's like 2006 all over again.
... can't cry
because the molten lava of my marrow
has been inurned
by a cuirass that's frozen numb

Death Cab for Cutie - 'Your New Twin Size Bed'
Album: Narrow Stairs
Feel extremely discouraged tonight - a good-at-nothing.
Everybody's good for something - even if one's destined (not to be too fatalistic about it however) to be a sounding-board or a doormat - but to be good at something, that, I think, is an entirely different ball game.
I'm good at nothing (except whine and complain, of course).

The Frames - 'Dream Awake'
Album: Burn The Maps
Time to start making lists and plans again. They usually make me feel better, a little happier - more hopeful, perhaps - if only temporarily.
There's something to said about this, I think: One, of course, being something to forward to; two, maybe I do need some sort of structure in my life, even though a fixed routine in the long run will only make me even more miserable.

The Frames - 'Pavement Tune' (live)
Album: Set List
Guess I should stop complaining about how I think the classes are slow and just keep at practising the spins and inverts we were taught.
But the Wednesday prac session makes for a really long day, not to mention, an exhausting Thursday at work.
Feel ... stranded.

Dick Lee - 'Mustapha'
Album: The Mad Chinaman
Attended Jasmine's engagement party at Beer's Bar, had two flutes of champagne and am now dehydrated and dizzy. Guess salad's not that good a stomach-liner. Spent most of the evening discussing pole with Geraldine, and, later, tattoos and piercings with Kimmy who had a corset piercing(!) once upon a time.
Okay, so the evening wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. But, in my not-completely sober state, I'd told Darren I'll have dinner with him. (But how to say no to a request, "May I have the honor of having dinner with you?" without being curt?) Sigh.
I want my baby chick.

I LUUUURRRVVE this song. (Wonder if it's still possible to find the album in the stores ...?)
Had been discussing food as pet names when I suddenly remember this song and decided to search for it. Heh, the amount of food used as pet names is astounding - papadum, hum jin pang, puttu mayam, onde onde, and curry puff.
I've got another - my Chih kueh ...
