well, my new year's eve was fun. spent it with college friends and also some new found ones. the countdown saw both raya and i doing track and field practice by running all the way from friggin' concorde to rum jungle just to be able to catch a glimpse of what was left of the fireworks. bleurgh. raya and i have thus decided that we'll be going to kl tower next year. and as the restaurant revolves, we'll be running with it (i hope you get that. bad joke. bad!)
later i went to kuya bobby's place with the parents for early morning makan-makan - well, it was early morning. almost 4a.m. when we left. oliver was there! haven't seen the dude in ages!
on january the first itself, raya had this get together for makan-makan at her pad. it was loadsa fun! lotsa pretty people showed up and guess what?! i ended up crashing at her pad! what happened was we didn't realise that dzul had already left so i was stranded in a nutshell.
but what's really cool is that all of mys firsts this year was with raya. my first few moments for the new year was with raya during the fireworks display and our 400 metre sprint, my first kiss of the year was with raya, and my first night of the year was with raya.. not the bad eh?!hmm... come to think of it, even my first depressing attempt at shopping this year was with raya! after crashing at her place, i followed her and her fam to mega mall. and everything on the clothes racks looked ka lot like raya's infamous ballet flats - sotong kering! hahaha! i even bumped into oliver again. how uncanny.

my first night of the new year... on raya's bed!

i must say that raya had some really kick-ass birthday cake that night. and this is coming from someone who ain't a 'cake person'. aaargh.. i'm craving for some of that chocolatey goodness right now!

well, so far the first week of my year has been pretty dull. after the whole stint with raya, i haven't really been up to much. got to hang out with an old friend last night though so that was good. while both our moms, aunty kathy and mama aji yappered till the wee hours of the morning, eizaz and i decided heck, we'll just yapper too! we were both dragged. grunt.
i miss sharon. ever since she left, i've had this strange void in me. like when i'm bored, i have no one to call; when i feel like going out, there's no one to drag with me; and so on and so forth. i prefer to be straight to the point when i write. unlike some. curdle/shiver.
sigh. this is my last year as a teenager. i'm getting old.
