long time no see!
yes i know my blogging record has been abysmal, but i have been busy (more like forgotten) about its existence. these few months i have been studying, essaying, been in london to be a very poor tour guide to abiel's sister and his brother-in-law, had my boyfriend pay for me to watch him dance "sensuously" with another girl (more about that, and a possible incriminating video later!), been to my friend's 21st, and went to prague, vienna and bratislava. phew. summary over now for a long entry.
let's start with the most scandalous one (well, sort of, anyway). imperial singapore society was holding a performance with funds going to charity, and abiel was involved. he whined to me quite a bit during the whole practice and rehearsal process about having to dance with another girl (cue: awwww) but anyway brightly informed me that he had to sell three tickets, and guess who already 'purchased' one. this was the first weekend that his sister and brother-in-law were in london, and he told them he would be busy but (i am sure this he did quite intentionally and gleefully as well) informed them that it'd be a boring show, and really, they shouldn't be wasting their time watching it. right. since he was busy, i was their (very lousy, they had more guidebooks than me) tour guide for the day, going to greenwich with them. digressing a bit, greenwich was really lovely, not the boring museum with a line in the middle that i envisaged, but a quaint area with an absolutely beautiful and expansive stretch of green pastures, and when we were there, framed by the azure blue sky. there are about 3 places to visit there, we went only to 2, the royal observatory and the royal maritime museum. the royal observatory was really fascinating - the building was essentially one very long house, sectioned up, and each little section of the house could split open, and a telescope emerge from within the four walls. yes, not just the roof, but the entire section, like this:

way cool isn't it! a laser shoots out every night exactly where the meridian line is, and can be seen for four miles from the observatory. i stood on the prime meridian too, haha cheap thrill. anyway we finally started to make a move, seeing ominous thunder clouds in the sky, and the winds turning into gales, making our way carefully past the pigeons (abiel's sister is really terrified of birds, especially when they are flying) when his brother-in-law remarked about the white specks in his hair. gulp. lucky for him (and us) it was not pigeon poo but snow! lucky them! this in a way reminds me of my run with zk. we ran through a very pretty meadow in oxford called port meadow, and one section was just choking with buzzing, annoying mayflies. i warned zk to keep his mouth shut but he kept insisting it was all right. well it was, till he choked on one? or was it took a deep breath of eau de mayfly? i am not sure. either way i was convulsing with laughter.
anyway i told them over lunch that abiel was dancing. the reaction was an immediate, simultaneous, "he's dancing!!?!?!" (insert big-eyed emoticon here) to which i said yes. they seriously contemplated paying 10 pounds each for the privilege of watching him dance for about 2 minutes. some kind of perfomance he must be putting up eh, to get paid so much for just a 2 minute dance. sanity prevailed in the end, but not before i promised to take a video of him dancing. muauahahahahahahahahhaha. i have the video stored safely in my handphone, but if anyone wants to watch how the pros do it, it's here . he danced from the slow part. (i don't have the cable with me at the moment so i cannot transfer files from my hp to the laptop) anyway the long story just about explains, i hope, how my bf paid for me to watch him dance sensuously with another girl. and in the performance he was the big buaya. diane was shaking her head, me too, tsk.
and now leaves me with my friend's 21st, and prague, vienna and bratislava. a story for another time, when i get the pictures ok? i promise! =) tata for now!
