Flipper's Gone.

A tribute to my ludicrously silly buddy. Actually, am too lazy to write so I thought I might just as well reproduce an entry written by her :

"Words of Wisdom

I am now in DC. Arrived on Friday evening and fell asleep on a couch at the house of the dinner host while waiting for dinner. Sleep some more for about 16 hours on Saturday (3pm-12 am, 3am-9am). Might as well sleep now, since I can only blame it on the jetlag for a few initial days.

Woke up hungry in the middle of the night and re-heated some food. Switched on the TV, and saw that nip/tuck was showing, causing me to giggle uncontrollably. Remembered a silly conversation about a year ago with afriend. Was telling him that the only reason I watch Charmed is because the devil (who became a doctor in nip/tuck) is cute. His immediate question was," Which one (doctor)? Nip or Tuck?". Decided last night that it's Nip after all.

When I was queuing up at the registration desk behind fellow summer program-going people, I was reminded of miera's parting advice," Jangan buli orang putih!". Haha! (she was elaborating to Muna's earlier advice, "jangan buli orang"). My mom is no better, the last thing she said to be, rather exasperatedly, is, "Try to be a good girl".

Scanned the horizon, and didn't see any "hot Italians", as Farhana ordered for me to bring home. Hardly surprising, since the last time I went to South Africa, she asked me to bring home '2 slaves' as souvenir.

Yes, I'll try my best to live up to everyone's expectation. Which should not be that hard since the standard asked for is rather low. No one told me to study hard. Nearly everyone said, "Have fun". Which medah and skar found disturbing, making skar to make a long five minute reminder that in Harvard, as opposed to uia, people actually have to attend classes. An that I should do that too.

The best advice i received? Have to be Ein's. She told me," You have to stop being stupid".

Speaking of which, I trust she'll be having the time of her life in Harvard. Thank you for making my final year in uni enraptured with a Beautiful bleak. Many happy returns to you all the same.
