i go shopping with karen today
but i realise i've spend a large part of wad i earn yesterday
so dun hav much money to spend

im shocked
i went to this shop that sells 'baby dior', 'baby armani', 'baby guess'.........
n i jus randomly check out e price of a jacket (the size of a campbell biology textbook)
its aproximately S$325
jus shocked

n im amazed by e photography exhibits along 'forum the shopping mall'
im jus awed by the awesome photos of nature
n i literally "wow!" n "ah!" all e way
its v inspirational for a photographer
n v v v motivating too :D

i din purchase much today though
but glad tat i found a sling bag for my younger bro
* i wanted to get him one a long time ago*

sometimes i wonder if it is right to shop
cos normally, i wld spend tons of money in 1 shopping spree
n e money is hard-earned
i got to learn to b more thrifty


things tat happen today makes me reflect upon my actions
i hav a lot to learn
n im growing
:D

yeap!! i hav my third baito today

ya, so it saves me all those hand signals n mouthing n actions :p

i only realise that they've been to chinatown only after e baito
but we brought them to chinatown nonetheless
argh... no wonder they not v interested w chinatown


well
i went for karaoke
heez...
funny, cos i end up reading cleo in e room
but its nice listening to japanese songs
how i wish tat 1 day, i wld b able to sing a whole japanese song......
n to fully understand the lyrics too......

after tat, we went to maxwell market for dinner *or is tat supper?!?!*
took almost 1 whole hr jus to travel there
haha...
n as we were eating,
it started to rain heavily
i mean HEAVILY
yeap
we end up waiting....
then shaoz came up with some weird games
i mean WEIRD
but at least it keeps us entertained for some time :D

we decide to leave only at 11pm

n me, shaoz, brandon n roger decide to share a cab home
.....
we wait
..........
n wait
...............
*change location* n wait
....................
n wait
..........................
*call cab* n wait
...............................

in total
for
1 hour +
cant imagine its so hard to get a cab

[somemore, we were right under a drizzling rain for tat duration... mus thank roger for being such a gentleman for giving up his umbrella for me n shaoz :D ]

we end up walking all the way to pearl centre
n manage to get a cab
it was 12am then
w midnight surcharge n everything
= a lesson learnt indeed =

reach home damn late le
n damn shag too

yeah!!! i finished my last paper today :D
im so so so happy
n so so so freed
hmm... but there comes a sense of worry

well, i should enjoy myself before my result is out

looking back,

i learnt
- to b consistent in studying
- to b punctual n attentive in lectures
( actually a lot of lecture are not even closely related to the exam--> a lot of qns frm book )

i realise
- the encouragement from my spiritual family.
- the care n concern from my friends
- the love from my family

.
.
.
exams are still awful nonetheless
esp those in NUS
argh...

Don't lose your way with each passing day.

You've come so far, don't throw it away.

Live believing - dreams are for living,
Wonders are waiting to start.

Live your story - Faith, Hope and Glory
Hold to the truth in your heart.

If we hold on together,
I know our dreams will never die.
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by,
For you and I.

Souls in the wind must learn how to bend,
Seek out a star, hold on to the end.
Valley mountain, there is a fountain
Washes our tears all away.
Worlds are swaying - someone is praying,
Please let us come home to stay.

If we hold on together,
I know our dreams will never die.
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by,
For you and I.

When we are out there in the dark,
We'll dream about the sun.
In the dark we'll feel the light,
Warm our hearts, every one.

If we hold on together,
I know our dreams will never die.
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly,
The clouds roll by,
forYou and I.

n they are so sweet to give me a gift
(its all made-in-japan :p)

sth for non japanese-speaking ppl
" watashi wa nihongo ga amari wakarimasen "
= i know only a bit of japanese language

i felt sad
cos one of my girls was having a fever
+ its damn hot at Chinatown
so she hav to go back to e hotel cos she's too sick to continue

n there is a shop tat does e henna thing,
BUT
the lady who normally does e henna was'nt there
SO
another lady cant do e henna, n can only do spray paint
HOWEVER
the gadget got some problem, so we end up waiting there for ages
AND
we are late for out trip to UCC (university cultural centre)
IN THE END
i bought a henna stick, n drew henna on the girls' hand myself :D

well…
wanted to bring them to Bugis
but have to change our plan cos we don't have enough time to travel back
*suppose to go back to e hotel by 3.30pm*
i felt really guilty for not bringing them to bugis n
letting them have a super late lunch (@ 2.30pm)
- but glad they like e meal at crystal jade (e shanghai xiao long bao :p)

after e break *4.30pm*
all of us took a chartered bus to the zoo for buffet dinner
( how cool is that?!?! :D )

on our way there, it started raining badly
then this very kind n sweet girl offered me shelter
yeap, that’s how I get to know this friend :D
she's yeli!!!

We happen to sit at e same table for dinner (cos we jus happen to be from group 5)
we went to night safari together
I learn about the animals at a greater depth than I wld hav
hav a super fun time there… though my feet breaking soon
- watch e animal show
- took e tram ride
- went through all the trails (got past a bridge that's pretty eerie)
n in the first place, I din even expect I wld go there
IT’S LIKE A DREAM :D

suggestions??

studying at fajar mac
its been ages since i go there to study
(recall... last time i used to study with TCS aka yi hui)

today... i went there alone

start
motivated to study-- cos all the sec n jc students are so damn hardworking

then
slowing down-- they begin to talk n it became really noisy

finally
stop studying-- cos i cant take it le

yeah... not going back there to study anymore
mayb i shall go woodlands library someday :D

kinda miss all my past hangout place for studying

i used to think that if u love somebody, u should give love unconditionally
like do things w/o expecting anything in return

words frm a lawyer (haha... my cell leader, jasmine)
u noe.. i used to think so too.. but i ended up being very hurt.
love without conditions, is unconditional love
the unconditional love is to be shown from parents to children, children to parents, siblings and within the confines of marriage lorh
so .. as for romantic love.. have to be careful.. to give unconditional love too early, or to expect it too early.. can kill the relationshp and oso end up injuring all parties

yeap... all for my stupid expectations

well... din i say tat my blog is to b POSITIVE?!?!
absolute +ve
argh...

the 5 love language

1) physical touch
2) words of affirmation
3) gifts
4) service
5) quality time

how true is it??

i believe the most important is quality time
with friends
with family
.
.
.
QUALITY TIME :D

argh... im stressed with all those unending schoolwork
study
STUDY
AND STUDY
the worst is, exam is coming
*shiver*

well
i am thankful that i can attend school
:D
*thats thanksgiving #2*
