Decided to boot out Donne and replace him with this poignant four-liner by Robert Graves; the sweetest thing I've ever read in a while.
I've been walking my feet off all day, exhaustion is an understatement.
Crayfish pasta + rodeo wings + banana split + kiwi-strawberry Snapple = walking bag of cement.
Did a little shopping, though. Huixin kept frantically adding up her purchases on my calculator I'd brought hoping to do some maths in school before heading to Orchard (riiiiiight). The sweet girl spent it all on presents for other people, but still worries.
Han was satisfied with gaudy new laces.
Got a new pencil-case though I'm still quite sentimentally attached to its nice, roomy, grubby old predecessor.
Stood staring at this uniquely understated prom-style dress with a willow-patterned floral design on pale pink in a shop window. Was jarred back into anti-materialistic reality by the $169 price tag.
It is a graciously wonderful thing to be able to spend a day with friends you no longer see very much, and who still give a flying banana (?) about your life.
Now I need a bath and mental preparation for schooool.
