is currently an undergraduate student, and coping with her overwhelming commitments. I like long walks in solitude, cosy chats, usually sleep like a log, and beg your patience in tolerating my versatile humour

Just a little update on what's been happening so far:
1)Mommy day out again - after ICA trip we went for a JB day trip. Cabbed to Angsana and walked around, before we were looking around for a cab back to City Square when something surprising happened. Basically this Malay lady looked at us and was saying "Tolong tolong!" because of her huge shopping trolley which she was trying to mount on the pavement. We helped her and I gently nudged my mom to ask her for directions. Then this very kind hearted lady offered to drive us to our destination. (: Along the ride she was really open about her life and told us about her children, occupation, shuttling to and fro KL/JB etc. I think this incident reminded me not to be so cynical about life and people in general because of random unexpected acts of kindness by strangers.

2) Shopping with Nikki (: We were in town again (gosh I've been haunting central area nowadays) but it turned out her shopping was much more productive than mine. She's a good shopping buddy because she always has sth constructive to say about shoes/bags/clothes and we laugh at how everytime I'm with her we always either eat at Soup Spoon or look for shorts.

3) Ban mian and Vanilla milk tea with Carmen! (: Yay so happy to see her too, after eons. I always joke that booking me is like booking for a SSDC driving lesson - must be always two months in advance. Not because I'm exceptionally busy, but because things tend to crop up last minute plus Carmen is hen mang one hahaha. It was nice to be back in my good old tpy and immersing in the super hectic culture downstairs of frenzied Christmas shopping.

4) Passing Threadless stuff to people. This included Daryl, Joel, Andrew and Fishy. The Erwin incident during the phone call was really funny though - we had mistaken identities on both sides so the conversation went on for quite some time before we realised we were NOT the people we were looking for. HAHA. Oh and on the 24th I decided to be ambitious and incorporate my exercise routine by walking from my place to J8 (about 20-25 minutes by foot). Was reaching J8 when Joel called and said he had already gone home -_-" so I had to change my route. Then when I actually reached his place I forgot which block it was HAHA SIGH. Ended up doing some saikang for church wrapping numerous fruit plus and various assortments of sweets into 30 pretty plastic bags and twining it with gold pipe cleaner. And halfway Andrew dropped by to exchange presents too!
After which I was waiting for my dad to come pick me up so I bought my favourite $1 honey peach milk tea from the shop! Drinking it made me nostalgic and think about my failed maths tuition days back in JC when I went to the place with Aiming and Audrey (:
Went to Little India with the parents thereafter, and had our lunch there. Btw I think festive indulgence is getting a little out of hand because I'm eating meat everyday :/ And it's super heaty and messing up my skin again ): Offered to wash the car when we got back BUT Daddy was super apprehensive about my parking at multistorey carpark skills HAHA so now we have to wait until this coming weekend perhaps.

5) 26th - 29th: Ipoh and KL trip!
Very memorable albeit the numerous hiccups and insistence of relatives. Will probably upload pictures later on because blogger is not very picture friendly. First time I'm actually buying alot of stuff (for myself! that's a first too!) and I'm slightly worried about how December has turned me into this consumeristic freako ): Ok need to start keeping my cards at home to discipline myself.

6) Tourist trip with Fishy and Tings
Very long overdue meetup - because we are all from different unis we probably only see each other like twice a year or sth (quite ridiculous considering that we are all in Sg). Ate Korean food! (: Very yummy but I think my throat is starting to be scratchy from the heatiness so will have to down some herbal stuff later).

Now it's time to stalk the breadth/UE page and do something about my life. Can't really say I'm looking forward to 2011 (it must be the jaded senior inertia syndrome catching on) but I guess I'd just have to stick around and soak it up.

Here's to a better new year folks,
xoxo.

They always have the most sobering effect ever. What's worse than the aftermath is the flurry of Dumb Unfounded Accusations to deal with, despite the fact that I KNOW that I worked very hard.
I guess effort is nothing compared to competency.

Like I always mention, crazy month indeed! Been spending too much it's so painful just to hold my card in my hand. Too many sales and too little time! Women really do drive the economy.
Many things this week! Caroling practice on Monday and la la session on Wednesday! It was nice to visit all the lovely homes and their residents, I really liked the cute little girls! So adorable, regiment styled greetings all. Walk back to tpy with Mag and Becks was crazy mad, humidity plus drizzle was a killer. Collected my dress from senior! (: Rly happy with it but it looks so grand I dare not wear it for anything. Wanted to wear it for Rocky Horror but now that I can't go doubt I will. Why why oh why are good things always so pricey!
Thursday was Mommy day out, was supposed to go overstraits but found out about my passport! ): went on a cultural immersion around sg though, city plaza, haji lane and bugis! Got stuff and my third earhole! It's healing now and its hands off seafood for 2 weeks my gosh, life is so unbearable.
Friday was Kathy trip in town. Insanely early lunch with Andre, because army boys have ridiculous meal times and walking around. Bought the shoes with a stranger because it was cheaper to get it in a pair! Haha good deed to Indonesian strangers. And present hunting for her many many cousins too! Bought something from FOX kids because I can wear it! Teehee. And the mushroom soup too! We ate atas bread from the 313 Marche! (: Really love their mianbao, makes me all Christmas-sy inside eating toasted bread with tomatoes and cheese and onions.
Saturday was prep for Christmas gathering! Met jellywells at her place to do the deco: like the streamers and the huge sign leading to his place. I really like how absorbing art can be, the total concentration you need when you cut or paste or draw. Spent 2 hours in a row working on the first attempted papier mache crown but it turned out terrible so switched on Saturday morning.
Just back from the gathering! It went surprisingly well, considering the circumstances. Really lovely company and great social experience! (: Updating now as I wait for the photos to upload themselves.

Man, really loving my holidays despite my complete exhaustion (: I'd be really sad when school reopens because it would mean I actually need some kind of direction in my life.

Until then,
xoxo.

Alright, this is the much overdue post from my birthday! (:
My birthday week was rather eventful, in fact I don't recall being so happening before this entire semester! Still in a bit of a woozy because I ended only last week (So Angerz) but oh well.
I remember watching truckloads of chick flicks over the weekend (The Proposal, The Notebook, Confessions of a Shopholic, Music and Lyrics) to make up for lost time. Friday was a trip with Jason! To the hatched outlet which he has been endlessly raving about since god knows when and practically booked me a sem in advance so I couldn't pangseh hahaha. I love the food <3 EGG HEAVEN! Had the birds' nest - which came with 2 sunny sides, grilled veggies, potatoes and caramellised onions! I was in Egg Mecca :D And we had island creamery after! My gosh it's been so long since I've been there! Really liked my foodie outing.

Some thing that happened during the birthday week:
1) Alot of surprises and double crossing! My gosh I am too gullible hahaha.
Monday I decided to go to to the doc to get my back checked. It's so paiseh to tell people that it's mugging-induced > sports injury. Anyway fyi, it's really important to stretch your back once in a while when you're seated. I learnt it the hard way.
Afternoon was the lunch with the Arts Comm! (: We met up to celebrate Jells' 21st so Ash planned this supercool elaborate surprise which had us stationed along marina square. Of course we didn't expect her to lose her way and I guess I kinda spoilt it because she accidentally saw me ): And I was double crossed! Wth! Hahaha imagine coming down an escalator to see them with a birthday cake, too sweet too sweet (:

And the night was equally eventful! Hahaha stupid Joel conned me I swear I didn't even see it coming- all the fake anger that I was late, making me walk several miles up and down the houses because he was 'lost', meeting Guin and Ernest along the way, and finally making our way to Fat Boys. My gosh I am so terribly oblivious (a little dense for a girl!) I didn't even know everyone was seated inside until I was shoved in hahaha.
Thanks for the surprise dearies! (: V v touched by all the effort put in to make it special, even ppl like Mama who had to book back in right after dinner - I feel the love <3 <3 <3 Felt very grateful for that night company and dinner and the accompanied walk back to the train. Love love!

Tuesday.
Carolling! With the girls (JLC<3) at QOP (my gosh all the way in the East!) and we were la-la-la-ing which made us super exhausted and hungry! Went to Clarke Quay (indians were on time yeah man) with the law students and random engineer to try mussels and beer!
Btw it was my first virginal experience trying museels, and I must say it was rather nice! Was expecting a really overpowering seafood, icky taste but it was cooked in this delish cream based thingy with veggies so it tasted NICE (:

Wednesday.
My real birthday! Haha I met Kathy to watch Rapunzel which was such an endearingly light-hearted film, very entertaining to watch and touching at some parts too! (: Oh I didn't tell her it was my birthday so it was quite amusing haha plus the fact that she is currently disconnected from any social media makes her completely oblivious. Wonder what's her reaction gonna be when Dre brings it up at our lunchdate.

Thursday-Saturday.
CSS Retreat! Was not really all hyped up about it because of my back which was achy (and the thought of having to sleep on the floor) but still went with Becks for mass first day! I think Retreat was slow-paced and relaxed, which suited me. But it was also the first time when I wasn't actively involved in it, merely a partcipant and it made me very itchy inside. The gnawing feeling when you have zero responsibilities other than to turn up on time and clear your food containers. Haha.
Made some new friends and met the freshies whom I've been evading for an entire sem! It's nice to know that the young bloods are so full of life and wanting to serve our community. Recon was good for me too, although of course sitting during Ado is always a painfully emotional experience for me (I am recalling what D from Fuel used to say about it being radioactive: you can't see it, only feel it). Food was great! I mean, considering camp conditions. Much much better than advent last year.
Left camp feeling under the weather, and after a power nap of 3 hours, woke up to a scratchy throat, terrible skin and dehydration.
BAH, unnecessary consequences of camp.
Now to get better soon so that I don't lose my voice for carolling!
I am trying to shut off Daryl's voice at the back of my head which is reminding me to start reading my lit texts for next semester hahaha ):

Till then,
xoxo.
