A parade of thoughts

I must stay away from coffee. Coffee reacts with me in an abnormal way - my heart palpitates, my eyes feel pinched, my skin gets all tensed up. In the immediate aftermath, there are certainly the benefits of heightened awareness and perhaps a greater dose of inspiration (it has helped me come up with some good ideas for my book!). However, the boon soon fades away, leaving behind the unwanted currency of fatigue. Oh, but Ye Wei claims that JD's cafe sells awesome, one-of-a-kind coffee. Maybe I should go experiment and find out if it's unique indeed!

I need to find AWFUL-sounding songs. Anyone has some to recommend? Songs that will shriek into the walls of my ear-drums and make my soul shiver so that I will awake immediately? I realized that I have been using my favourite songs as my alarm in the mornings. And because of this, I have this tendency to want to finish listening to the whole song, immersing myself in the enchanting melodies... But the more I listen, the happier I feel, and the more I will tug my pillow closer to me... One thing leads to another, and soon there is no light, only darkness. And I am no longer awake.

That was what happened to me on Saturday! I set my alarm at 6am AND I WOKE UP AT 6! Only to fall asleep again. So I was slightly late for the AYC meeting, though I had to spend lots on taxi fare to ensure that I wasn't abhorrently late.

BB gathering was nice. The four dudes of the BB family have finally reunited after what seemed like a million years! The girls and the fantastic cake that they baked (read: the fantastic cake that they got Breadtalk to bake) were fantastic too (: haha and because Ye Wei and I were sitting damn far away, we used the mirrors in front of us to look at those sitting at the opposite end so we could talk more easily. Onlookers must have found it as amusing as we did.

Talking to Juan He about life, love and the universe is quite an interesting and amusing experience.

And I feel the urge to change my blog template again!

So that was yesterday. Quite an enjoyable day (:

Actually, I have been thinking about the topic of Infatuation vs Interest recently. Maybe I will write more about it soon, when I feel inspired. Anyway, just a snippet of my thoughts:

I guess most of us will think of infatuation as the red, syrupy haze that envelopes our minds and tints our thoughts towards the subject of interest, such that every little action appears to harbour hidden symbolisms and that every little reaction seems to suggest favourable intentions towards oneself. Yes, I totally agree with that description. What is wrong, however, is our belief that infatuation is a short-lived phenomenon, which it isn't always.

Meeting the Scouties soon! haha somehow when they talk about army stuff, it's never boring. Or maybe I am just prejudiced.
