to take up where i left off last time;
tuesday.
met up with anand at boston common, went to see return of the king (but i slept halfway through it). saw ubeida and his friend (whose name i forgot) there. huma called, and muz was there too, it felt weird having a three-person conversation over the phone. anand and i met up with zamir at penang afterwards. we also saw wan and this other chinese guy from mit whose name i could not recall.
wednesday.
dewi, diah, marlyne and i went to burlington mall. originally intended to get a haircut, but i chickened out. my hair is hopeless, nothing can be done to it. bought a new perfume, which made me really happy, cause i'm getting tired of the old one. went to barnes and nobles and wished we could have spent more time there. it was huge, and there were so many books, and so many people. but we had to drop diah off at central square, which we did, and while waiting for her, we spent more time at a bookstore in harvard square. it was fun, reminded me of the time when i was kid and could not get enough of reading. when did that stop happening?
thursday.
woke up late and spent the morning watching battleship gallactica with dewi. we dorks :) the rest of the day i spent on the couch, with a book in my lap, and tons of snacks on the table to keep me company. went to haruna's for christmas-themed dinner. the food was excellent, the company was marvelous. got acquainted with yusuke's cat, TJ, which resulted in me coughing the whole night, that cat sheds more hair than i do. watched the world idol, and had a really hard time trying to figure out who's not gay among the contestants (the nirvana guy and the norway guy, kurt). and of course, we had to play poker to polish our newfound skills, and i am proud to announce, i did not finish last.
friday.
can't believe it's only been a week. although dewi and diah have been nothing but excellent hosts, i do feel i need to get out of the house soon, shouldn't keep diah out of her room much longer. planning to go to new york on sunday, and stay at rafeya's. come back on wednesday, and spend new year in boston. go to huma's on the coming monday, and come back on thursday. after that, who knows what will happen.
