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.

Yesterday was a crappy day. Was really feeling down in the dumps and went walking around Cityhall area by myself after doing some of the WITS project. Walked from Raffles City to Citylink like 5 times because I had absolutely no idea where I was going. (Reminded me of how our NavEx group got lost for 5hours before finding our 1st checkpoint) Walked into TCC intending to have lunch, found out they didn't accept NETS and ran out feeling bloody embarrassed. Thankfully I didn't start ordering anything yet or else it would've been worse. Drew $100 in Suntec, but blew $44 on chocolates from Candy Empire. Funny things people do when they're feeling bleargh huh?

Plonked myself down at Esplanade and read some of Mammon Inc. Then things got a little better when someone decided to do something silly and come all the way down to "accidentally run into" me despite running on an insanely tight schedule. Thank you (: Such gestures like that are really gratifying.

THEN, met up with the family for dinner at Bobby Rubbino's CHIJMES. I love CHIJMES. Apart from the fact that it was the old IJ, it's so beautiful at night. All the pubs and the al fresco dining with dancing tealights on the tabletops lend the place a rather warm, dreamy atmosphere. Plus the architecture is so.. antiquarian, so ornate. I think I'm going back again next week, to play hide and seek along the ancient corridors, soaking in the history and experiences that practically ooze out of the old white walls. Part of me wants to wear my old IJ uniform and do that. Haha. We'll see how it goes.

Sierra people having Section Live Firing now. Sounds like lotsa funnnnn. Take care guys (and girls)!
