I think some of the criteria for getting into the class I was in back in secondary school is a heightened sense of self-awareness, possessing hedonistic tendencies and a love of irony, as keenly demonstrated by an ex-classmate in her e-mail to me today.

I suspect we'll never be really happy, 'cos we'll always be busy hankering after the next good thing that we don't already possess. And I feel like I'm wasting lots of time doing absolutely nothing that is making me a better person, e.g. drinking, mundane work...

P.S. Forbidden City is having their grand launch on Saturday! More free food, more free drinks.
