i'm on your back

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud

Zee introduced me to this Foo Fighters song while we were still in Bath. Now I've got Walking After You on repeat in my iTunes (as well as putting it on my blog of course). I think you're right babe, the very word to describe the song is poignant.

Why do I feel so tired?

I fell sick on Sunday, recovered on Monday, and had a relapse Monday night. Guess I shouldn't have had strained myself during the day, but I had a great time nevertheless. Met up with Cel for lunch and we had a nice girlie chat.

Question:
Is it girlie or girly?

At times I find myself in very unlikely situations. Situations that, if not for a single triggering event, wouldn't have been possible. Do you find yourself suddenly catapulted into such a position sometimes? I definitely can't say my life is mundane now. It's weird. And bittersweet.

Like how I always thought that days in Singapore and in SMU would be spent in G's company at all times. And then we had that MSN chat on Christmas Eve and suddenly we were no more. And then because of that, I had more time to reflect on friendships. And then because of that, I had a great time hanging out with different people. And then because of that, I feel thankful that even in an environment so thorny as SMU (we all know the amount of gossip flitting around) I have a nucleus of people I can rely on.

And then of course, there are the pals outside SMU.

How do you sleep?

I like to be tangled in my blanket. I'll curl up to one side, and then I'll pull the blanket all the way up to my chin. I like to feel the cool texture of it ooze over my freezing body. It's the most comforting sensation I ever felt while I was in Bath. It feels safe, like a coccoon that I would break free of in the morning, when I'm all new again.
