wednesday: dinner with nat. i had bumped into him after the crab thing and was looking forward to catching up, the kinship of course having been forged by all going through all those math s tutorials together (one rung down from life in the trenches). we settled on suntec for food and then managed to choose just about the worst restaurant from those round the fountain (the thai one: avoid if possible).

the last time i had spoken with him was over kopi peng in the smm canteen, 9/9/2000, so there was five years to catch up on. still, there was time by evening's end to chat about intelligent design and schroedinger's cat (and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings) -- and there always should be. my ringing cry: don't be defined by what you do!

so it was fun, and he'd like to catch up with y'all as well (unless i was the only person among us who was nat's friend back in rj in which case please return to your regularly scheduled lives).
