What a horrible week...

Things at home are getting tumultous and stormy...very stormy. There seems to be some malevolent spirit lurking in the eaves of my home...sowing discord and goading everyone in my family to hurt each other with senseless, malicious actions. Violent histrionics seem to be a predominant feature of this dark and disturbing play. It's no use pretending that everything is ok...That would be lying to ourselves. We scream at each other without any rhyme or reason. Defiance, oppression and concealment of the truth are the main themes in the drama of my life.

Went for my first Cuba Salsa class...I can't help but feel that signing up for this is a HUGE mistake...Cuban salsa is not commonly used in salsa clubs in Singapore...Most salseros follow the LA style...I guess it was curiosity that made me sign up for Cuban after I completed the LA syllabus... After one lesson, I found the Cuban style odd and bizarre...I'm pretty certain nobody uses the Cuban style on the dance floor...Worse, we got L. and B. as instructors...sianz...now salsa is like drill lesson liao...Listen to the following exchange:

Someone from my class: Why are there Cuban lessons when nobody dances Cuban socially?

L.: Erm...Well, there are lessons because enough people signed up for them?

B.: Hahaha!

L.: So there's a demand!

B.: Hahaha!

L.: ...and if you go to happen to go to Cuba, the people there will dance Cuban style!

B.: Hahaha!

L. : I am sure you don't want the Cubans to think you can't dance right?

B. :Hahaha!

Gosh...I seriously hope I go to Cuba soon...then it would justify me spending money on this thing.

Went for coffee with Stefan, Melissa and Shi Ling on Wednesday...This is the high point of the week...Really enjoyed hanging out with the rest of the FunkyGrad crew...Pity the others could not come though...it would have been even more happening...much more fun too...At the end of our coffee session, I was assigned to interview Daphne Khoo next Saturday...I know nuts about her except for the fact that she was part of SI'04...

Got a phone call from NUS Media Relations Office...Apparently, Lian He Zao Bao wants to interview me for their story on the Double Degree Programme. This is quite unexpected...I can't speak good Mandarin ( My bad, I admit...) so I got the MRO person to translate my views. I'm feeling a little worried though...MRO warned me not to talk about the yucky TV commercial to the media...but I just submitted a scathing tirade against the NUS Ad to STYOUTHINK...Now I'm desperately hoping they would not publish on Monday...It would make me look like the world's biggest hypocrite...

Oxford wants me back...Apparently, I have been offered a place there again...I was invited to some pre-departure thing and instructed to go for a medical check up...This is bad timing...why didn't they catch me before I settled everything with NUS!? Tamade...

Sorry to Desche, Evelyn and Jon...I can't join you guys tonight...have fun...

To Roy...Thanks for inviting me to MoMo on Wednesday...

To Derui, Kai and Ken...See you on Saturday night...Please be there before nine...I don't want to pay 15 bucks for a lousy housepour or soft drink...

That's all folks
