caffeine-intolerant

so last night i came home from work at 11:30pm and purposely drank a whole mug of milky coffee

yes me, who often gets palpitations after drinking mocha and who can get 'drunk' on latte, drank coffee at midnight

i purposely "punished" (to quote jx) myself this way because it was high time i properly filed and sorted out my notes and folders, and there's no better time to do so than in the early hours of the morning

while doing so, i also had my first-ever skype conversation with jx, whom i haven't spoken to over the phone in ages. he sounds so different, the accent has definitely become more american than ever, and at first there was the tiniest awkwardness (not bad at all, considering back in those days we used to have actual 'awkward silences', which would be followed by either him or me proclaiming, "that was an awkward silence")

but then we soon got chatting and it was really good to catch up. 5 years ago if someone had told me that jx and i would end up as good friends today despite the transatlantic gulf and the past drama and all that, i would have laughed myself to death

we're making plans to meet up; i figure if i continue working part-time i could save up to visit him next year (hmm but then i want to visit zl in moscow as well) - new york is only 4 hours away from where he is, apparently (yay!)... also we're both graduating in 2007 and there's a semi-pact involving us gallivanting around europe together during that summer, and maybe get loo to come along

speaking of loo, he's still busy playing soldier. oh well

.

so he left a voicemail last night while i was at work

at the end of the day, it's all about timing

bad timing
