Eyes open.

Can’t sleep.
Went on Travelfish. Planning imaginary holidays in my head to escape. Swinging on a hammock during those lazy afternoons, sun-kissed skin, lying on the beach at night under the stars, talking about anything and everything, falling asleep by the whir of the ceiling fan. Having nothing to do for a week and being glad [...]

4am calls.

Posted by: yibis on: February 26, 2007

Take care, sis. Wish I could be in the room across the landing from you, just so you’d have someone to talk to. But failing that, I’m just a phone call away. (hugs)

Gung Hei Fat Choi..

.. to everyone!
I called home today (rareness!). Definitely one of those days which make you miss home, and all the friends & family & food. Sadly, I hear this year’s reunion dinner was more severely under-attended than usual. I used to feel so bored sitting through those dinners, and I’m certain I would feel equally [...]

Calling all self-confessed Facebook Whores.

Posted by: yibis on: February 16, 2007

Woot.. Now you can make yourself a Facebook badge!
Why go to bed when you can make a Facebook badge? Why go to class when you can upload photos and tag tag tag people? Why do your work when you can Facebook stalk (via Isi)? Woohooo.

V day.

Valentine.
by Carol Ann Duffy, from Mean Time (1993)
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.
Not a cute [...]

School’s Out!

Posted by: yibis on: February 12, 2007

Last night, I resolved to attend all my classes and lectures for the coming week. So I woke up this morning, in time for my lecture, and was about to get out of bed..
.. till I was tipped off by a friend that school was cancelled today. There had been a power cut in Central [...]

A chance encounter.

Posted by: yibis on: February 4, 2007

We took a trip to Borough Market on this fine Saturday afternoon. A few photos are up on Flickr. It was good fun and our bellies were kept very happy, but that’s not what I wanted to blog about..
I left the group to buy some coffee from the Monmouth Coffee Company. I was waiting to [...]

Alternative Energy.

Posted by: yibis on: February 3, 2007

For my solar-powered girl. I know you’ve been working your butt off. I wanted to check the weather for you.. I’m glad it’s not gloomy where you are.

Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on the porch ’til you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I [...]
