FULL RECOVERY

i managed to see waldean and pinky a few times this week since waldean was visiting from denmark on break. friday night we walked around city to look at the financial buildings since waldean's doing engineering and has an eye for architectural things. we went for dinner around covent garden and spotted the father from home alone at the table behind us! waldean and pinky were ecstatic and could hardly sustain conversation for all their excitement, and i just sat back laughing at them because they were so giddy. at the end of dinner, they approached him to confirm whether it was actually him (it was) and asked to take a photo with him. he seemed a bit disgruntled, but his wife was kind and smiled about it. our dinner went a bit past midnight so i had to 25 it back.

saturday night, waldean and pinky were going to come with me and adrian to fabric, but waldean decided against it. i stopped by pinky's room in lse's dorms and we had tequila shots in honor of his visit. i quickly dashed to fabric afterwards and met up with adrian. though i had some idea of what to expect, i don't think i was quite prepared for it, but having been, i don't think anyone could prepare themselves for the experience that is fabric. we had gone in earlier so we didn't have to wait too long, there was adequate time for adrian and i to get inebriated for the dj we wanted to see, akiko kiyama. she's from berlin and spins minimal techno (which is the most techno i can take at best). the place was fully packed and i was groped at more times than i can count. this middle aged man started saying lei ho ma to me, which i was surprised by because i usually get ni hao ma, so we gave him a glance that showed we were impressed. adrian started talking to this couple from russia and the woman was hilarious when she asked my name and i told her cheryl, and then she asked for my chinese name. ahh how quickly those four hours went! kiyama's set was really good and we took a few photos to remember the night. it was daylight savings so we had lost an hour without knowing it. got back at six in the morning and woke up with a massive hangover. it's never been this bad!

but now i've recovered and must get on with all the work i have. oi oi oi.
