it's been the most eventful semester i've ever lived through, in every sense of the word. throw me a linear editing machine and i'll show you how to mark in, mark out, auto-edit. tell me about McDonaldization, Coca-colonization, and i'll reply you with Orientalism. ask me who i want to meet and i'll say he who rode a unicycle whilst juggling balls down the hallways of MIT.

in a few weeks i had to figure out 4 programmes from scratch. boy it wasn't easy, like how i spent 2 hours just figuring out how to automatically paginate my 12 pages, or how trying to figure out the roll-over effects made me literally want to just roll over and over and over.

but i've got so many good memories to leave me feeling warm and fuzzy. like how we randomly trotted up to the rooftop to lie down and busk under the sun, or how i bought a slice of tiramisu just because i wanted to eat tiramisu at the benches. my secret little piece of Maldives in school, and my favourite stretch of road. my favouritest quiet conversations, and those deep soul searching ones. my swims during lessons, that yummy crystal jade lunch which started my xiao long bao fettish.

ooh how can i forget the beginning of it all, with the windsurfing and the lindy hopping, all that ambition. and the *you know what* which got her saying "i've never seen tiff get so irritated". yep, i've found what i don't like to do.

it was all about school this sem, all about school. but more importantly, it was most about those school friends. :)

and because i've been so busy, i haven't had time to thank some people i really wanna thank so here goes!

"you look hungry, do you want some popcorn?"

love the entire set up, love the movie, love the poster (which i will frame), love you people.

"...this is our last chance to try and make this day special."

believe me, you did. :)

the stack of paper plates are still on my table. whenever i look through them, i smile. and your cheesecake and ice-cream kept me company during those lonesome nights of studying.

thanks so much so much so much. thinking bout it makes my heart smile la. :)
