flawed work of art.

argh! stupid max ruined my blog entry. was actually halfway through when his dandy long legs had to turn the main switch off. whack him, man! okay.. lemme think what I was saying... ah yes, the weather in croydon is pretty good today. I love spring. hahaa. the walk from town to college through the park was actually pretty enjoyable. haha. beautiful flowers with quite a number of people out to enjoy the warm sunshine. even glimpsed a couple of the college kids lying on the green green grass. after my nice burger king lunch, the stroll through the park really made me feel like smiling like an idiot, but... I was too busy occupying myself by taking photos of the nice nice scenery. never noticed the medievel-looking rapunzel tower in the park. it's super tall and uh, brown. the funny thing was it's so monstrous I can't believe I didn't notice it! maybe it was because I was too concerned with walking quickly to my destination because of the blistering cold. or perhaps, it is the fog. oh well. whatever it is, I'm glad I noticed it today. no wonder my college's logo is of a tower. I feel all fairy-tale-ish.
actually wanted to catch pride & prejudice at the david lean cinema at the library. but it was all sold out. sigh. at least I managed to borrow 2 other books and got a chance to enjoy some live jazz music at the cafe. roger (bass/vocals) & peter (saxophonist) totally rocked. although the only folks sitting around were senior citizens (except me, of course) who were bobbing their heads or tapping their feet to the rhythm of the music. when I first entered the library, roger was singing 'you are the sunshine of my life', which is a fantastic song. lisa ono did a great version of it, by the way. oh and another reason why I like england, besides the fact that the oldies aren't afraid to express their appreciation for music, is that it's so liberal. a lady a few feet away from me just raised her shirt up and let her child drink milk from her bosom. yeah! try doing that in malaysia! you go, girl! but her child didn't look like, it was less than a year old or something. it looked pretty old! err.. being a kid who stopped being breast-fed after one month, I find it odd. it may be uhm normal, but to me it ain't!
let me introduce you to arthur, this russian college mate of mine. he rocks. you know why? he bought me a 4-finger kit-kat yesterday. he just plopped it onto my lap when I was conveniently sitting in the com lab. how thoughtful. unfortunately for me, I was surrounded by 3 hungry friends who each took one. serves max right for being greedy, he bit into his cheek as he ate the kit-kat. harhar. cursed. God is good.
I vow never to buy chocs anymore from the college vending machine. they jack up the price so much higher than the normal newsstands. what's their problem?! not supporting the school canteen anymore. they must be filthy rich by now! I'd rather walk daily to town to try every restaurant than eat there. terrible money-making guzzlers!
8 more days. no, let's make it a week. can't wait to go homeeeeeeee! oh and mom said she can buy the earlier ticket I want for a hundred ringgit extra from other travel agents, if I can't get it. cool! I'll be home soon! yay!

I missed the opportunity
to get you to stay with me
never thought I'd regret the excuses that I've made
like a song, it will fade
if there's music in the night
and it's really really right
it's the only thing I need
it intoxicates your mind
all your troubles left behind
so come on and take my lead
it's not just me who feels it
music plays a mind trick
watch me forget about missing you
