with friends like these.... :))))

so i woke up at 4.30am to finish my damn ampullary stenosis presentation and was procrastinating yet again by checking my yahoo mail which i haven't, in AGES.

and found an email! i thought it was a forwarded one at first, Pikachu is notorious for that :D (see i got you a new nickname, Angelic-Scamp too long la :D Pikachu is the original one right?) but when i opened it, it was a REAL email!

man, i suck. i like getting stuff, but i'm always bad at reciprocating. tomato plants! argh. selfish me.

anywayyy...THANK YOU PIKACHU!!! you put a big smile on my face. made me feel less lonely :D

most of the people i know probably think "ah well, she's used to going abroad, meeting new people, living on her own.."

weHhell...i'm not as strong as you think...but i'm trying. i think i'm under a lot of stress living here, trying to make a good impression, adjusting to a new culture (yes, it is new to me, despite what you think of my angmoh-khuan-ness), being around people that i don't know at all...

i like being thought of. and yes, i do think of all of you, at one time or another during my day :)

here's the song i got with the email. at least someone's helping to update me on the music scene! :D
