Recurrence

It's the same old feeling and I'm getting tired again. I'm going out everday but somehow I just want to feel domesticated. I feel like staying home, packing my stuff, ironing my clothes and laying on my bed. I seem to lose interest in almost everything which includes watchiing drama or reading a book. I don't feel like opening my mouth to talk. And I don't even feel like touching the chocolates which I bought on Monday. I just feel so sick.

I think I'm going to make a change soon. I hope the energy just comes back.

My mother just can't give me peace. arghh!! She keeps talking and make me talk!

A day out with my kid

Today I took Amanda to Vivocity cos she fared pretty well for her mid terms and she has been bugging me to bring her to the biggest bookshop in S'pore - Page 1. We reached there and saw Candy Empire. Both of us couldnt control and bought ourselves so many chocolate. Hazelnut for me and peppermint for her. Then she rushed me to Page 1 and we spent more than an hour there. She's the only person I know who really reads alot!


Then we headed for early dinner at White Dog Cafe. The mushroom soup and salmon are really good! Luckily this time, Amanda managed to finish her set of ham and cheese omelette or else I'll put on even more weight. So on the way to Keppel Tower to repair my camera, we chanced upon Cocoa Tree. dammit! cos I already bought so many earlier on. But I still allowed myself to get somemore, the kind ying always give me, cos they are only available in there. I'm going to grow fatter!




And we found an interesting shop - Build a Bear shop I think. The whole process is really cute.





I reached home, feeling totally worn out after the 7 hours walk and saw to my delight, a letter from Ms ting.
I feel so blessed!


Today is really a great day to start off my week! Can't wait to Wed, clubbing with my girls and Fri, clubbing with MeiYan. My life is so fulfilling.

Three days into my vacation and I've been in town for the whole time. GSS but I didnt manage to buy much. I was so turned off by the crowd and the weather.

Today Yuexin and I went to town early in the morning and had dimsum breakfast in Taka. The century egg congee and cha siew pao were really good. We spent the time moving along Far East and Herren, then to bugis. I really haven't been shopping with Yuexin for a long long time.
Although my feet and calves hurt like mad, I really enjoy spending time with you today, Yuexin. Thanks for always putting others before you. Thank you for taking care of me since the day I met you.

I reached home, dead tired but the sight of Goldy just brightens me up. So after dinner I took her out for a walk. We jogged 3 rounds in the park and that little thing almost got into a fight with another dog 3 times bigger than her size. I got a damn fright!





A sweet surprise from Jacinda.


And this is from Mabel.

Today's window shopping was almost a success. I went to town, had a short meeting at Taka and decided to buy chocolates. I went to Paragon and found Cocao Tree closed. I was so mad! It's a hot day and I have a heavy laptop to carry with me and my heels are giving me aches. It must be the heat! It must have expanded everything, causing my laptop to be heavier and my shoes to have more friction.

So happened that Steph sms me to inform me that GG>5 is having their sale. I u-turned and made my way back to Wisma. On the way, I noticed Guess having a sale too!!. Heh, my favourite 4-letter word. I took a quick browse and walked over to Mango. Scanned through the clothes quickly to avoid temptations cos I'm not intending to buy any at this moment since Mango sale is drawing close. Then finally I went over to GG>5. Surprisingly, not many people so I managed to get some clothes. By then, my shoulder and feet were already killing me so I decided to go back. But along the way, my feet brought me into Topshop and Forever 21. Thank god the variety of clothes are too much for me to take so I gave them a miss.

Then the went to Lavender to get my passport renewed. The website says that it's only a stamp so I figured it won't take long. But I was taken in by shock with the number of people there at 4pm. I took my queue number and decided to update my photo as well cos I had to wait until the more-than-200 people ahead of me to get cleared first. I went to photo taking booth, joined in the queue but gave up halfway. Some instinct beckoned me to check out the other floors. hohoho, I found the queue so much shorter and got my photo taken!! Then I spent the next hour or so for the 10mins processing.
gosh, so this was how I spent my first day of vacation.
I am so pleased with my self discipline today cos I can chip in more money into my exchange fund and hopefully I will get better deals this Saturday.

Finally got my new banner done while the other groups presented their projects. Sometimes it's good to present first. Speaking of which, Fixed Income officially ended. all my modules always end in a not-so-good note. but screw it, i was almost dozing off during the exam. too tired.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the next 3 months. I feel werid having so much spare time on hand. But I can watch all my dvds at ease, read the papers and take long strolls in Orchard. I can finally indulge in window shopping. I can even take in longer and deeper breath. Or like now, take my time typing out this post while enjoying the scenery of campus green.
Life is good!!

I've decided to come up with my agenda since MY did hers.

1. Get my digital camera repaired. crap shit, I've to go all the way down to Harfront Front but it's ok I've so much time.

2. Plan exchange. OIR says we should plan 6 to 7 mths ahead.

3. Buy WeiHan's birthday present. It's long overdue.

4. Re-read IE and FIIM. They are interesting courses.

5. Watch Pride and Prejudice. so that I can return MY her dvd.

6. Finish reading Freakonomics, Unlimited Power, The joy Luck CLub and For one more day. I have gotten 4 bookmarks stucked in them.

I probably should find a job cos MY said that a 9 to 5 job will get me sleeping better. and I can pool in more money for my exchange and maybe a BSM to Taiwan. I'm going to travel more!
And last week, I found an effective way to sleep. Red wine. now who will be kind to donate some to me?

Time flies when there's school. This coming week is the last week of summer 3A. Lectures have already ended which left me with a presentation and the final exam on wednesday. Talking about presentation, I'm quite pleased with myself because I actually spent time preparing. And now my throat's pretty sore after rehearsing for the past 3 hours and having dinner at Coca with cousin just now. I used to enjoy presenting because I like talking. I just hope it'll come back naturally and that I don't trip and embarass myself again.

Oh my gosh! It's already 4 and I am still not sleepy. I can't carry on rehearsing cos Stephy is so annoyed by my husky voice and my repetitive lines. But I forgot how I used to fall asleep in the past 21 years of my life. Insomnia is really insufferably. Nowadays I sleep after 7am which means I toss and turn for 4 hours and sleep for only5 hours. It's good in a way cos I'm training my body for European time but my lack of sleep turns me really grouchy. I hope I won't suffer from hair loss problems or weight gain or permanent dark rings. I can just die!!

Hi Meiyan, if you happen to read this post, please call me at 9am. I won't want to be late meeting you later. I think beside Yuexin, she is the only person who has dedicated a substantial amount of her life waiting for me. And they never once grumbled.

I made a hasty decision yesterday. Jan called and asked if I would like to join her for a trip to Bangkok and without much thoughts, I agreed. And she signed up immediately, giving me no room to back out. It was not a bad thing cos I was too tired to plan my finances and I know how badly I want to leave S'pore.

I haven't planned much for the remaining vacation but somehow I'm feeling really good now. I don't know why. Maybe because I have a whole lot of dvds to be watched, maybe because someone enlightened me, maybe that something is disappearing after bugging me for so long. Or maybe I have bigger plans next year. I don't know. I'm just going to welcome every tomorrow with both arms.

hello world, I am so TIRED!!
I had Fixed Income Mid-terms today, on the 3rd week of school, and a heavy dinner at Astons. I have been eating incessantly these few days because of exams. I get really hungry late into the night and I gorge myself with bread and nutella. The worse thing is that my biological clock is screwed. I only get to bed after Glenn & the Flying Dutchman greets me in the morning because I realise I need to sleep. this is so bad.
Now I'm at Harvey's house doing the Fixed Income Project and he just made us this super nice garlic bread. wahaha, I learned the secret recipe so I can cook for Meiyan during our exchange. lucky girl.

A good thing our banking system is so efficient. I lost my wallet last monday and within 3 days, I got all my cards replaced. I was so miserable the past few days with only $70. I had to suppress all my splurging needs and withhold my destress therapy. Never lose your wallet!

So today, I went out with Sarah to eliminate the torturous withdrawal syndrome. I bought shoes. It has become a weekly affair for me. The problem now is not that I'm spending too much but rather, no room to store my shoes.

haha, I remember someone asking me why I need to buy so many shoes when I've have only 1 pair or legs.

The Greatest Thing

I think I’m blessed to be able to meet my girls in this life of mine. I can't describe the friendship I share with them. They just made a difference.
It is always nice to sit around and catch up with one another every Friday night. Stories are never ending and no one will ever be sick of listening.
I am thankful to have friends who can accept my flaws, not that I have a lot, and can share my joy and tears. Being with them just make me feel good, even silence is sweet.

The simple happiness esstential in life

The thing I like about being in SMU is that I get to meet more people. I like talking to people because I gain insights to different views.
There are some people who I can trust and engage in deep conversations such as life and thoughts. They can share with me things as though they are able to read my mind and totally understand what I am thinking of. They can give me their answers to issues I have been probing and change my views.

I guess reality is a matter of perception. Some people have everything but they think it's not enough. Some people have a hard time trying to live their lives but they are contented. Some people have nothing much but there aren't anything else they want.
Good or bad, life can't be altered, it is the way people deal with things.

Today didn't start off well. First and as usual, my insomnia.
I'm getting pissed with my lack of sleep and starting to feel that I am over-reacting. I felt that that need to stay alive but probably my body is special, I don't even need to sleep at all, which I've been praying for. But the thought of the tons of things I have to do just make me want to attempt sleeping again. misery.
Then I received some bad news which I won't want to speak of. Okay, I realize how un-smooth my life is. misery x 2.
And my brother is bugging me the whole morning because Chelsea lost!! This how important the ball is to him over me.
