SUPERSTITION AND MAGIC
Some promising prospects turn bleak. But the others, they remain as prospects, still brimming with promise... though never fulfilled 
On Friday, Sara slept over. We went to Clarke, starting from this cool street called Circular Road with little bars, resturants etc lining both sides of the road
Made it to Homeclub, its small and personal. But empty, so stopped by Helipad which was also empty. We passed by Attica and were greeted by strict bouncers who insisted that everyone has to pay for entry
No way am I going to pay for somewhere I always get into for free! We walked past LeNoir and I spotted the bouncer I know well, sauntered up for a hug, and was told to drop by Attica around midnight when his shift started. Went up to ChinaOne, hung about, headed to Attica. Made an obscene scene of knowing the bouncer there who invited us in for free. I took a look at the sandwich he was eating as he walked me in with his arm around my shoulder. It was one of those "take that bitches" moment, and I rarely have any so that felt unusually good hahaha
We did silly dance moves inside and it was fun. Drank nothing but incredibly expensive Fiji water in miniature bottles for the same price as alcohol. Lucky we didn't have to spend anything at all on it
Three bottles of that later, and blistered feet, we came home. I ate. And we happily reflected on the night, proud of the fact we had only spent $7 each in total for the entire night - on the cab home.
Kevin told me that Grandma went somewhere to have fortunes told by shaking sticks from a canister
When she did one for me, a really wonderful, rare stick that she had never seen before (which must mean something seeing as from what I know, she seems to do this alot) proclaimed that this year I'd have amazingly good fortune
Tiff reminded me over the weekend that once - when I was young - I tried to hatch an egg and made a nest of blankets to sit in
We were sitting at Brussel Sprouts for lunch on Sunday afternoon. I ate braised rabbit for the first time, and ate alot of it too. It tasted nice
Free flow fries and mussels cooked escargot-style
While waiting for a bill, this "entertainer" (as he referred to himself) stopped by and did some "magic" for us. He picked an invisible speck off Kevin's shirt and put it in his mouth, talked a little, and then from his mouth came a bunch of playing cards. I had my eyes on him the whole time, and it just didn't make any logical sense
He did this one trick where he asked me to draw a card and write my name on it with a Sharpie. Afterwards, he stuck a random card he had drawn from the deck (after replacing my card in the deck) it in a clear plastic holder the size of the card and slowly shook it. We saw the random number and red colour turn to the card with my name on it. He then gave me the card as a "souvenir" and we sat continuing to marvel
I like my new bookmark. Things with a story are always more precious to me, even if it is only a two of spades playing card with my scrawl across it
After that, we walked to Zouk for a fleamarket and I bought a leather bracelet for $3.
Today, Kevin came home
with a fish-eye lense
my new love. I am infatuated with the black, round border. I love the smoother curvature created in the pictures, I love the drama, the almost melancholic feel of a twisted world. I love the soft ring of blurred colours around the edge of a sharply focussed centre
He did not disclose how much it cost, which is probably better for the health and ease of mind of us all. Mom in particular
Cheese tortillas and milk tea have been my latest food obsession
I've been slacking with my aligners recently... ugh. Because they are not tight anymore, and I feel as though I don't really need to wear this set. Also, I really hate loose socks with bad elastic... so that they slide half way down your foot
Annoying. I have decided to make the best of this though, and use my purple socks to make sock puppets. After they are washed of course. I've been inspired to draw many characters, paint them and make cards.Taking full advantage of this, it is a better way to waste time
