Stuff to see and do
Listening to: Matchbox 20 - Unwell

'Unwell' seems to be a fave for local bands doing covers - I heard it being done by Energy (not the Chinese band!) at Bar None 2 weeks ago, and another band at Balaclava today. The chorus is gritty and pretty infectious - go listen.

Found out why my uni friend LM hasn't been picking up my calls - she's pissed / upset etc for my not turning up at her commencement. I never gave a call after we sort of agreed prior to the event that we should take photos; to cut a long story short, she was left with only her family and her close (non-psych) friends to take photos with. Ok, I'm not the only one among our gang that didn't turn up - in fact everyone didn't turn up! - but I was the only one that didn't give her any advance / last-minute warning (it seems).

Anyhow, she's sort of simmerred down and we're back on talking terms. I think.

School starts on Monday and I've been trying desperately to fill my time with all sorts of social activities before the drudgery and demands of daily school life sap the energy and enthusiasm out of me. Farewell dinner for Patty (colleague) this evening at Sanur, and then drinks at Balaclava; she's headed back to NY and then onto to HK for her next posting. Sort of lucky (to be travelling so much?) but most of my colleagues seem to take it in their stride as a normal occurrence. In fact, they'd all just rather be in one nice place of their choosing - a fair number of them seem to be in the wrong place Am meeting up with Si and then hopefully the crazy psych bunch tomorrow evening for dinner and a fun (KTV??) night; pot-luck at Satoko's (another colleague) place on Saturday cos our initial plan to celebrate National Day (book Cosy Bay at Kallang Riverside Park and see the fireworks) fell through (Cosy Bay closed down apparently). Sunday will be family day I think - I've already managed to visit grandma this week after a 3+ month hiatus so I won't be visiting her this weekend.

Ohya, and Luke's back from UK finally, though he'll be off again to take up a position over there in September or so, so will have to factor meeting up with him as well.

Did I forget to mention the little issue about a thesis proposal I have to hand up? That's what's happening tonight...

------------------------------
All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why

* But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be... me

I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
