today i fell asleep during the neverending CNS tumor lecture, but was awoken suddenly by something which made me semi-jump into the air like i was having a convulsion. i was totally disoriented and mortified that i had just manifested some severe nervous disorder, and also, that i had just created a completely unglam scene for myself. then, i turned to my left and saw mark COLLAPSING WITH LAUGHTER. and when i demanded to know if he had just poked me out of my sleep, he couldn't even answer me because he was breathless from all the laughing. and when i asked him later what motivated him to poke me, he said he just thought to himself that 'it'd be so fun'. yes, how do i love thee? let me count the ways...

apart from that, we actually had an (unexpectedly) nice day. we gave iris a surprise birthday celebration at novena square, which involved looking for her present. i chose this brown bag which mark was totally skeptical about, but it turned out that she actually really liked it. i love shopping for people's presents! it's like the funnest thing in the world! i should be a personal shopper, like rachel from Friends. totally my dream job!!!

other than iris' bag, i also instigated mark into buying 2 shirts in under 20 minutes. this has got to be some kind of record or something. so anyway i was overall quite happy today, apart form the times when i remembered the poking fiasco in the LT. oh, and another thing. after lunch today i said out loud that 'i think i deserved a coke' (which reminds me- i think my coke addiction is really getting out of hand). whereupon mark said 'No, you -don't- deserve a coke because you haven't been starving yourself all day', and proceeded to list all the food which i had been compulsively eating throughout the day like pocky, lots of mentos, ice cream, ham sandwiches, breakfast etc etc. so i think i'm going through my binge phase again, which is bad cos it usually means that i'm feeling some kind of extreme stress and yet am in denial. or, it could mean that i'm having a growth spurt. but i don't think i've had one of those since like sec 1. shits man :P
