"indemnity"
---------------
the indian stall outside my house was burnt down last night...not the whole thing, but the cooking area. we can only speculate on what had started the fire, but i'd prefer not to say anything at all. all i can say, i really pity the owner. it's not like it was a thriving business, but he really did put his heart and time into it. it's been here in my neighbourhood for a long time now, and seeing it just go down like that is just sad. a mainstay of my neighbourhood [i'd dare call it an institution]. i don't know what happens now, but all i can say is, i guess i won't be having quick breakfasts or zippy meals any more. it sounds silly, just writing all this about a stall where you eat in, but i guess you'd have to be here to understand.

well, besides that, helen called me last night to confirm that we've got free entrace into viva after the ball. plus, we might also get discounts on drinks and such, but we'll probably need to write a proposal regarding it. so let's get it straight now: a ball, and then clubbing. that sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

yea, well. life does go on for some of us, i suppose.
