hi emily !

do you remember those days. the mornings where you like felt your legs are detached from your upper body after alot of running but you still make it to paragon by noon time. you only care about what kind of food you ate and you functioned like a calorie counter. and you only drink berry smoothies for dinner. and how you pop by f21, topshop or zara for a quickie because the shops are closing soon ? do you remember how nothing else in this world concerns you other than whether geraldine gets in the next round in campus superstar ? you hang out with a happy friend, jill. and you were happy every other day.

how about... turning back mid '04.

you make it a point to pigout every now and then at chomp. you couldn't be bothered with how much calories you take. and after a huge glass of sugarcane, you'll still hop on happily to coffeebean for chamomile tea. you'll sit there with your friend, wenling and hear her tell stories about life as an intern in an events company with a lazy boss and go hahaha. when you're feeling emo, you'll tell her about your sad love life and how much you love your dog, biscuit. on wednesday nights, you all will be sitting at the alfresco of cafecartel instead of the usual coffeebean, and watch singapore idols, talking and eating icecream waffles at the same time. you once had a tinkerbell balloon tied to your seat even. and the people sitting behind said that the balloon's blocking their view. remember remember ? and how you insisted every miniature schnauzers you see around serangoon gardens is your lost dog, biscuit. you were at serangoon gardens 4 times a week. umm hmm um.

and turning back early '04 to late '05

you were only interested in making money. you had no school and you work like a full timer at fish and co. what you do everyday is to total up the no of hours. and *5.5 in the calculator. and say " wahhhh ! lets go shopping tmr sarah !! " and there was once your colleague, jason, wrote a note on a masking tape saying " I LOVE MONEY. I ACCEPT CASH, NETS AND VISA " and pasted it secretly behind your "sea of love" blue polo tee and you walked around the restaurant not knowing. sometimes, you felt like you had enough from the annoying customers of parkway parade who demanded for this and that but you never ever wanted to leave. because everybody at work was like a big family and you all run the restaurant on weekend nights like crazy people. up and down and down and up, been through it all. do you remember how you cried when jason accidentaly splashed some hot lemon butter sauce on your hand ? how about cooking for everybody when nobody cooks for dinner and you make them say you cook nice dinner ? you take turns with your colleagues to go into the kitchen to pop a few fried calamari into your mouth before taking orders for customers. you put on extra whipped cream for skinny girls you're jealous of when they order chockie junkie. all of you will be "sian i today do till closing. " but at the end of the day, you all will be at kim tat seng (kts), eating supper and go " today very busy hor please. ", " the customers all today very fuckedup la i don't know why " or the most commonly heard one, " wah lau eh, i'm doing opening again tmr. " and " i also ! "s all over the place. thats how you all became close. same faces from opening till closing, day after day.

'04 and '05 were so cool. but whatever happened to '06 ? not exactly peachy rightt um hmm umm.

love,
your alter ego

p.s : so fun, those days.
