i just got down to reading my cousin's blog. and in the many paragraphs of the many entries i went through, i realised how little i knew of isobel now, when we'd grown up together and were once close as sisters. at the same time, reading the same blog, i discovered so much about her and her life then i'd ever did through the few conversations that ( Read more... )

idiavalo's supposed to watch irreversible tonight with some of the css people but they just found out that the tickets are sold out. i'd say it was a pity if it was a show that didn't have a 12-minute rape scene. i'm not being prudish really. it's just that i have an extremely visual memory and i'm not sure if a show like that is going to stick around my ( Read more... )

i just came back from attending a talk by Indonesian Major-General Sudrajat on the political-security situation in Indonesia and its implications for the South-east Asian region. the bit in italics was the actual title. what a mouthful ( Read more... )

i've been up to my neck in retreats and camps. ever since the exams ended... first Antioch pre-camp retreat, then CSS combined retreat, then Antioch camp and this whole week's gone to caroling... it's something or other every week and i've just been too tired to write... why do people keep bugging me about it? i'm not being anti-social or ( Read more... )

i seem to be feeling especially nostalgic and sentimental this holiday. just came back from the combined retreat, having had lots for breakfast, lots more for lunch and even more for dinner. and all that before supper. they just had to provide meals buffet style. seconds, thirds... aiyoh ( Read more... )

i typed an entire entry and the server didn't load after that, so i effectively lost it. dammit.
