well you know
that movies make me cry
and i know
that you're always so afraid to try
and you know that i run away from spiders
and six legged creatures and small things that fly

well i know
you can't carry a tune
and you know
when i dance i trip over my shoes
but it's just fine
cos it's just the two of us
and there's no one else here
and lovers don't mind

we're doing just fine
cos lovers don't mind

and i know
you don't remember the day i was born
and you know that i always leave the lights on
and it's funny how long we can fight over nothing
cos i never give up and you never give in

but i know it's just a matter of time
we kiss and make up
you know it'll be good
the moment we wake up
i know when you're faking
you know when i'm making it up
when you're down you bake
when you give i can take

and we're doing just fine
cos lovers don't mind

blood donor

today, in a desperate bid to escape from the office, i became a blood donor. at 4:45pm, i ran off with my friends to keppel corp to do my part for society, and we all left our boss in the office to fend for himself. it's not like we didn't invite him though. when we got there, we were made to fill out declaration forms, at which Dung (not pronouced the way you see it) had to drop out because she didn't bring her identification. we had to declare lots of stuff, like "if you are a female, have you in the past 12 months had sex with a man who had sex with another man?" and "do you know that you can give someone AIDS through blood donation even if you look and feel healthy? (i wonder what it means if you tick NO)". So after letting the doctors know all my deepest darkest secrets, i was allowed to have my life drained into a plastic bag.

i had a quick blood test done, but i didn't get to find out if i had HIV or high cholesterol or anything, though the nurse did tell me with an approving smile that i had lots of iron in my blood. score!

the whole procedure was surprisingly painless. i was watching the huge needle disappearing into my arm and expecting to at least cringe a little, but i felt nothing at all!

f almost fainted, which was scary, but glad she made it through alive and otherwise i'd have had to eat dinner alone.
