her name is mel. that's all that people find certain of about her: her name. and even then her name changes with her mood, she's got two of them, and a few others you don't know of.

... Monday, December 15, 2003

i just slept from 2 to 5.30. i'm in a relatively bad mood you could say. i've been blog voyeuring and it amazes me how people can write so many things in their blog, for example:

todae, i went to pastamania with ling, junie, chrissy, jie jing ... ate lotsa stuff. i ate meatballs and garlic bread and then they ordered clam soup, pizza, creamy pasta, salty pasta, sweet pasta, pretty pasta.. it was superrrrrrr goood.. yum yum.. then went to cine to meet jamie and dan and watched love actuallie.. its damn funny and sweettt.. yup yupx.. well im reallll tired now so seeya laterrrr..

that was a very bad example because i wrote it and i am unable to do it properly. i know to each his own but it really amazes me how one can bother to and remember to list down every kind of food she/he has consumed and then even talk about tiny details and trail off. wait, and even find those important. i don't look to trap everything in the memory net - i just take down different thoughts. maybe i should become more diligent when blogging and talk about the different coloured jelly beans i bought - let's see, brown, pink, green, blue, yellow... i can't remember which one i ate first but they were all so yummmmmmyyyy.

yeah, right. okay, you may have figured out that i'm feeling particularly moody now. people who write in the above manner probably think i'm weird for writing about conversations that don't even take place between me and the nj principal. so, let's just attribute this outburst to deadly hormonal moodswings.

jason's mom called me from hong kong today. i find that rather amazing; she hasn't spoken to anyone in my family since i was probably eight. which makes that eight years.

jm: hello. is vyvyen there?
me: no she isn't in right now..
jm: this is mary. oh, is this melissa?
me: yes [thinking she was one of the banker's wives]
jm: i am jason's mother.
me: who?
jm: jason ko.
me: ... [silently: oh my God] oh right, hello!
jm: oh i didn't recognize your voice, you've grown up! -starts muttering something in cantonese-
me: yes..

conversation about wanting to meet up in hk because jase is going up to hk to visit her on the 26th and did i go to hawaii [possibly because jason told her] ensues. there you have it, i accuse people of taking down all that they eat but here i am taking down a conversation with someone i haven't talked to for eight years.

i took down her numbers because my parents lost them long ago when she moved out of singapore and proceeded to isolate herself because her husband's family would have nothing to do with them. i get the feeling she would never come to singapore - that would be a miracle. but all the same it is incredible she would call. perhaps she is hoping to get reacquainted with the friends unwillingly lost in singapore. it is always a beautiful thing, getting back together with old friends. i know my parents will be happy about it but it will be such a tricky situation.

jase was pretty uncomfortable when i told him. both of us aren't doing great right now, but it'll work out somehow.
