A park affair
Trying to mug the whole day...is darn borrring. And the fact that my mind is on all the numerous preparations which I have to make for my impending US trip! Such as, maybe checking out eyewear shops tomorrow for contact lenses, especially if I wanna go surfing in San Diego or something. I've been googling and read that if I'm wearing contact lenses for water sports, I have to wear tight googles with them. Also, I've only worn contact lenses a couple of times in my life and suck at putting them on, so I need to practise. Manually putting something foreign into my eyes just makes me squirm, you know?
Can the week(s) go any slower? After I have taken my 4 exam papers for this last semester of my schoollife, I won't necessarily feel so lost as I have all the planning details of my trip to look forward to and keep me busy :)
Hmm, tomorrow I have to drop by the US embassy again to finally collect my passport. Speaking of which, I have yet to update on how my visa interview last wednesday went. It was so informal, taking place at the counter itself, and not like, in a private room. The very thorough lady behind the glass wall asked me questions like, "what do you intend to do after you graduate?", ans- I was prepared for this as my program agent had told me to answer "I plan to start working/looking for a job", and then she HAD to go, "what do you plan to do?". I was a caught a little off-guard so I hesitated a moment and then just blurted out (i mean, she was asking in such a quick-fire way and we musn't show we were unsure with any of our answers), "I'm considering joining the police force (not really)" and refused to look right or left to see if anyone had any reaction to this. haha. especially my other program mate who was waiting with me the whole time. And then she asked "what do your parents do", and then when I went "my father is a civil servant(long story)", she gave this tiny approving nod and go, "civil servant huh?" So when the interview ended and looking back, I think I portrayed myself as such an upright modal citizen, don't you think? It was certainly a truimph when I heard the lady say, "ok, I'm gonna approve your visa...blahblahblah". That was honestly the first time I heard her saying that because she was rejecting others' one after the other the whole time I was there. And so I HAD to leave off saying, "thank you, Have a nice day" which she totally ignored because she has no sense of friendliness about her, only uptightness and efficency. bleh.
K so ANYWAY, I met up with my lovely bestie at the nearby botanical gardens. Personally, I know how being there physically for the person on the day of her birthday is uber important, so I MADE SURE I made plans with her that day. I had asked her if she wanted any present (cuz again, personally, I know how sucky it is to get a present one doesn't like) and could she tell me what are some of the things she had in mind but she wasn't really keen on that. She just really wanted to hang out at a cafe and chill. So i treated her lunch instead, yay. And she returned my birthday gesture by paying for my drinks during our walkabout in the park. We spent like, 5 freaking hours with nature and was wild with photo-taking. Did I mention it was Earth Day too? Which made the occasion doubly special. Whoo! Happy 22nd Birthday my dear tush! (Dunno where we got the mushy nickname for each other, probably while we were making horny jokes about the word one fine day and it just stuck! hehehe)
What can I say about her. Hmm...I don't know, with some people, you just have that special connection(like, out of my various old friends, she's one of the few I click with the most) . We are very much alike but different in that we complement each other too. Like, most times she's the crazy ever bubbly one while I'm the cynical, more grounded one, and then sometimes it's the opposite. We both love cats, cute boys, xiaxua (haha!), music (but she only likes radio hits and chinese boybands while I like mraz and angsty sensitive girl musicians), boy-bashing, feminist inclinations, wishings of more exercise and the occasional actual jogging together, and many many more. Anyway, here's to 2(x friends) 2(x joy)/4(x fun)/ 09(x yrs of friendship):
