Mood: not too bad Happiness event of the day: A rather successful dinner party Event of the week: Attending a Destiny's Child concert this coming Sunday. I was really anti-social during the backpacking, so much so I won't quite be surprised if my trip mates thought me hostile sometimes. It's not that they're not nice, but I just didn't feel like putting in the effort to talk to them. So, I was quite surprised at myself, that I agreed when Li suggested that we invite them over for dinner. Cooking for 10 people wasn't easy. Especially since I only had an hour between my last class today and the appointed dinner time. Fortunately, I did some of the food preparations before I went for class, and most of the guests turned up late anyway. Heh.
Dinner parties are not that extremely rare for me, since I tend to invite people to join me when I actually cook a good meal. It's just more special tonight because I'm not even particularly friendly to these guests tonight. Yet surprisingly, I actually had a rather good time. I still didn't talk much, but I was so much more comfortable in my own turf, I guess it showed. I still don't think I'm going to see much of these people anymore, but I don't care. I'm just glad at least I could kid around with a few of them, at least tonight. There was the horribly "mean" Greek who reminded me so much of my own hwachong guy friends, the way he teases and pokes fun. There was the ever-energetic American girl who is always fun to hang out with. The very charming europeans who are so funny, in their own little crazy ways. When they finally left, about an hour ago, we had our farewell hugs and one of them even gave me a goodbye kiss on the cheeks. Very pleasantly surprised.
Tonnes of work to do tonight, but I'm in a good and constructive mood, so perhaps I'll be able to stay awake a little longer than last night. [By the way, I overslept for my class this morning and didn't even hand in my homework. Gggrrr...] It was a good evening, and I'm amazed. I want to hold on to this happy feeling, this feeling of actually being sociable, instead of a hostile bitch. Time for a good hot shower, maybe singing a song. Lalallalaa....
