So blind.

I am.
I have failed to notice that i have got very interesting clasamate...and felt that it a a pity that i only got to noe them better in these last few days of my studies....

People like Heather...my new good fren in school...whom I wnet shooping with one day....Laura..a very nice albino girl...I always think she is beautiful...becos she is so white.we are talking about some simliar things we do for our art...and i like her work...very poetic.....and she told me about this old fashion book shop which i like a lot....and Sandy...my techno freak classmate who collected as many computer monitors,keyboard, mouse and cables as I have collected my junk...he has got a whole room of computers...in the school storeroom....and I like his new spec...and Vangelis...his digital stuff...that sound piece which I have mentioned...very interesting...I have been residing in his studio space like a parasite feeding on his internet connection...and I am very grateful of him to let me....Alec...my studio neighbour...whom I share the same studio space with...we have coincidently placed ourself in the same space for 2 consecutive year( we got to choose our space every fresh year...putting a number...and we just happen to be together)....but we never tok much to each other...except for leaving notes on each other tables...saying things like " Heres the pen i have borrowed from you..."...and one that he wrote i rememeber " Sorry for the splatter on the wall...I will paint it up later"...and my reply...' It's ok...leave it...I like it"...and ocassionally....when we are both in the space....we are very quiet....one evening however...to my surprise....i saw him hugging a guitar having a drink in Sandy's studio which is just outside our studio....and he plays nice music....surprise surprise....did I also mention Soren...a Danish classmate of mine...he is the joker and graffiti boy.....was my studio neighbour last year .....he is funny and frenly.

And so...yah... I had been blind.
So blind.

But is glad that it is never too late to make new friends.

OCD

I told Jm that I suspect That i might be suffering from OCD....and I kind of felt very assured that it is fine by his repy.

He said, for OCD as long as my life is not affected by it...it is ok.

Yah...i suppose I am ok.

I hope.

OliVeR TwISt

I was making the last few bite on my lunch..and i heard someone came into the kitchen(studio kitchen)


He : Oh hi..

Me : (turn around to see who is it)Hi....

He : Is that Miso..?

Me : Close...is green tea...both Japanese....

He : Oh...are you still having your lunch ...can I join you?

Me : Sure.


I lied.
I have already eaten 5 pieces of bread with pate...
and thought I should save the rest of the loaf for tomorrow.
I am finished but i lied.

Anyway, 10 seconds later...he came in again.


He : I saw you very busy in the EMA recently...working on some videos?..

Me : Yah...not my major work though...but i thought it is a pity not to do something about those footage that I have been accumulating...

Blah blah....

He took out his baguette...and cheese...and ham....watever....starts to rip his bread into half and stuff the meat and cheese in it....while talking to me....

I took out another piece of bread and start to spread my pate...the 6th piece of the day...to extend my lunch hour...for him...

so he ask me about what I am going to do for my degree show...or what i had been doing....I told him...the bottles outside the kitchen open space is my recent work...and he is a bit surpirse.....he said it was a nice piece of work...and he thought it was quite poetic...

Ah....he is the second person to say that my work is poetic....which I am really pleased. ...and i hope he really mean it.

And...he also notice the colour arrangement....i have made...of cos...it is an obvious way to display.

oh...and so...we came back to the question about what i intend to do for my degree show...I told him...I intend to exhibit the whole lot of junks in my room....becos I have been collecting junks for a long time and accumulate a lot of things in my room.....I even told him I suspect I might be sufferring from OCD...he thought...i am too calm to be one....becos I can still talk about my condition like a third person....which seems to him...I am still very normal...fair enuff...maybe I am not as serious as I think....

I understand that I am not doing my image any good by telling a guy whom i used to like, that i have messy room and I might be mentally not normal...but i thought...since my crush for him is over....it is ok to tell a fren ...who I am..and not worry about spoiling my image...so...it is a good thing...i am not having extra heartbeats when i talk to him yesterday.

Anyway....we had a nice lunch chat....he finished his sandwich...bite on a pear....
and he run for his lecture....

I am thinking....if i am still having that stupid crush i had for him like last week...I probably would have been dumbfolded when he start to talk to me....but becos I have already gotten over him...it becomes more natural for me to chat with him...like he is a classmate. And...on top of that...I am beginning to suspect that he is a gay...so...I become less touchy and felt very comfortable talking to him now. ...just suspecting...becos there are too many gay element he is emitting....it is a pity...but i made a new friend.


Oh...and before he runs for his lecture...


He : Oh...I forgot your name...your name is?

Me : Sha... and you?

He : Oli....


Ah...
Actually I already knew his name long ago....not that he told me...
I found out accidentally (who am I kidding...ok,I found out intentionally, happy?)
Oh...and did I mention it before?...
Oli is the short for his name Oliver.
And Oliver is Olive boy.
I named him olive boy becos he wore an olive green sweater when i first met him...
and i swear i dun noe his name then.

What a twist of fate.......
And my title for the day...never been as appropriate...

Dedicated to this new friend.

Oliver twist.

What a day...if everyday is like dat...Glasgow is a very nice place.

Promise delivered.

Yes...I spent 7 hours yesterday to clear up... as promised. Rather disappointed that I did throw away some egg cases and milk cartons along the way....but i manage to stuff other junks under my bed. On the whole...I hope the inspection will turn out well.

Oh..by the way....my neighbour from room 4, Julie...she is gone.
I saw her room empty when i am on my way out....quite a surprise becos she had a big party just last saturday.....maybe that was to celebrate her moving away....she is a nice lady. and....she works in a pub opened owned by one of my classmate....wat a coincidence.

Anyway, yah...today is a fine day.
