twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Flowers outside Forbidden Palace, Beijing.

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?

Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give in
It's all over

When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

Norah Jones -- Shoot the Moon

So, sue me if I say that Chinese New Year this year is about as interesting as watching paint dry. I spent my morning playing Civilization III and trying to make Japan build a tactical nuke by 1920. (I failed) But the food was excellent, as usual. Looks like one thing never changes around here - my mom and my aunt's amazing culinary skills that make you look at their daughter and niece respectively and go "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO HER??"

Was helping out with Sierra Wing's steamboat preparation on Thursday and I managed to drop/break crabsticks while peeling them out of the plastics, prompting Lta Chan to label me a kitchen hazard. Hey - what's wrong with cutting tofu diagonally? It's more kitschy than having the usual tofu cubes no? Ok fine, lets keep things short and sweet, my future husband has GOT to be an Officer who can cook because Penny and I have decided (after Lta Peh's description) that we want a military wedding, and also because.. I can't cook. Don't know about Penny though. Heh.

Tommorow will be more exciting. (I hope) Maybe if my family stuff ends around two-ish, then I'll get my dad to drive me over to Mr Yong's house to join the team there. I want to take photos with Justin, Junxu etc. You know, since they're all hairless. Then I can tell them how OCS is pretty okay, while Tekong's prolly like the gutter. Fwahahaha.
