I have been a Busy bee

On monday,
i crankily woke up and trudged to uni to sit for my probability test. later that evening, feeling liberated and totally elated, i donned a dress and headed to mayfair to meet my sponsors. i found myself outside the entrance of the office as it approached 7, bent over trying to yank of my heels and slip my pumps on to facilitate the little sprint i had to do. as usual, i was late. swan lake, the ballet, was due to start at half 7. i sat in the coliseum and watched petite girls with pointed toes and men with chiselled bodies prance and twirl, doing little pirouettes, being so light footed that they could have been cats. to the background music of tchaikovsky, the sad love tale of a prince and doomed princess unfurled on stage.
On Tuesday,
We had a guest from lancaster. Drinks before bed lulled me into sound sleep.

On Wednesday,
I happily strolled around covent garden, trying to kill time while i waited for the fortune theatre doors to open. this time, i was overly cautious and arrived very much in advance. Woman in Black was creepy and absolutely brilliant. the very vocal audience shrieked and screamed as the two man show took us through the death of an old woman in the Eel Marsh House to the fear that grips the little town near it. this play has been running at this very theatre since the time i was born. the boyfriend, frightened out of his wits, gripped my arm tightly throughout. haha.
On thursday,
as the clock approached midnight, the whole lot of us congregated in my room. we hurriedly put together an economics presentation, the final project of our first year. sap and hanad indulged in the only staple food that is constantly plentiful in my room. peanut butter and chocolate on seeded bread. sinful delights.
On friday,
to celebrate the official start of easter break, we had a korean dinner in a place tucked behind tottenham court road. funny that we only discovered this little korean town almost at the end of one year when we frequent that shopping area almost on a weekly basis. the festivities continued in the halls which resulted in a very hungover kuhan the next morning.
On Sunday,
qj and i stopped over in hyde park, hoping to grab a bite in hard rock cafe before we went to the apollo theatre. unfortunately the queue outside was unbelievable. we wound up at the bar instead with two huge , yummy cocktails. and i am not kidding when i say huge. especially since we had to guzzle it down and dash back across the busy roads to get onto the tube. we wanted to catch jason mraz's opening acts, which happened to be a m2m sister and a band from cardiff.
standing in the crowd, feeling the spirit and enthiusiasm of the people around me, the urge to pee was building up just like the anticipation of seeing jason mraz taking centrestage. the cocktail was making its way very fast to my bladder. jason mraz's smooth voice however pushed the thought to the back of my head as he serenaded and entertained. fun fun fun. the laidback jazzy attitude was to die for.mraz's photos courtesy of hweeyin
On Monday,
the boyfriend insisted on having tequilla slammers. so we played articulate with a container of salt, finely chopped lemon and some social lubricants. it was team tequilla vs team sober vs team soberest. and the winners were.....team soberest(dom&i)!!! our little red playing piece leading the pack. before we broke away and did the final sprint leaving everyone behind. wheeee! nothing like a winner to give me a good nights rest.
