Finally

Finally got down to sorting out my photos on iPhoto. Mac's starting to look more organized. Also finally sorted out all 2.5k songs on iTunes.

Went for Thai food and made a cake for Mazzie's Birthday.
Only things left to sort out are my paper records and start planning my time.

Not too shabby.

Owww

They have arrived

My new babies have finally arrived.
Took them long enough.

Hmm... what should I get next?

BOOK WRAPS!!

Late pics

Went to Chinatown to do some CNY shopping last weekend.

Plenty of decorations already up.

The crowd was coming in for the opening ceremony.

Mom and Dad looking a CNY decorations. Yeah, it is usually red or gold. Auspicious colors.

I teased Dad, saying "If you stood still, people might mistake you for a CNY decoration." :P

Candy is a must of course!

The cutest red packets I have ever seen. The coming year is the year of the tiger and Mom says these don't look 'tiger' enough. BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE!

Was trying to psycho parents to buy this cat figure. It just looks so ridiculously messed up and happy.

Threat

Dad's been cheeky on and off these days. Two days ago, Dad sold me out to Mom and it nearly got me into trouble so in retaliation, I 'suan'ed him and went:

"Wait I hide the wii den you know!"

Dad's jaw dropped.

*Evil laughs*

We have sprouting! .... Sprout!

Three teeny buggers emerged coupla days back. Out of.... 32 seeds planted.

Annoyed, I soaked the rest of the seeds I still had and planted the lot of them into the remaining jiffy starters.

Lets see how they sprout now. Muahaha.


They sure are tiny little buggers though.

Vongola!

Chibi Mafia.

Muahahaha!

So cute. Heh.

How?

I am terrified.

Moonstone is safer.

Had an ah pek blatantly (and I mean propping his arm to support his head) stare at me in the bus on my way to werk.

Had to fight my urge to tell him, "your eyeballs are going to melt."

Ugh. *shudders* I feel violated.

Lesson learned, again.

Rule of survival. Always prepare beforehand. Never leave things to chance and ready yourself so you'd never have to rely on anyone. No-one.

Because they can never be trusted to extend a hand when you need it.

No one to blame except myself for my own stupidity.

Furious.

Test

3 glasses of wine and a lot of time, decided to doodle after months and months of rusting. And to also break in my new mech pencils.


Hmm.... I suck again.

Good news in a long time

Passed my theory G8 exam. Fantastic news. Had to stop myself from trying to jump in joy.

2 kids took G1 theory exam at the same time. Both got a Distinction.

There's red wine in the liquor cupboard.

Life is perfect.

High-rise mints

Trying to plant mint so I can have some greenery in the house and an unlimited supply of mint tea.

2nd day of germination.


And yep, I live pretty high up. 14 floors in fact.

Heh heh.

If these sprout okay, Imma try some other herbs. Wanted to get Stevia a.k.a Sweetleaf but as usual, it is banned in Singapore.

Boo....

Terrible

I'm becoming a terrible person. Let me explain.

Dad told me he might not pick me up from work @ Chua Chu Kang tomorrow. Curious, I asked why. He usually is rather anal with picking me up from CCK and I love him for it. Sometimes all I want to do is sleep in the car after running outside the whole day and getting my brain juice squeezed out with consecutive school lessons.

"Mummy lo, she say she go Karaoke."

Twinge of irritation. Well, actually, it was a lot more than a twinge, but I'm trying to be nice.

Yeah, I need to learn to be a better person.

Gotta love myself for picking a school which I have to travel 3 hours to and fro. But a deal is a deal. I got assigned these kids and I will teach them until they don't want me or they quit piano.

Yeah!!

I FOUND IT!!

I had this mechanical pencil for almost half a decade. I loved to use it especially for doodling. I also kept dropping it and the tip dented so the lead that came out was always in itty bitty pieces. It officially died a couple of years ago. Tried to find it but could never seem to find the exact same one.

When I saw it in Popular again, I nearly yelled in excitement. This time, I'm getting 2!!

Muahahahhaha!!!!!


Yep, Gin is deliriously happy. :D

Shittiest Soup

Parents said I had been looking a little bit peaky so Mom, in a rare mood of pampering, decided to brew me this Chinese Herbal soup that is good for blood production.

Came home and was presented with a medium sized bowl of brown-black soup.

1st sip, wasn't too bad. Kinda like Chicken Essence gone bad.

Half way through the bowl, the liquid was gone, only the sediments were left. Yeah. Half a bowl of pure grinded herb sediment.

That part was gawd-awful. Imagine fine sand and water. But brown-black. And smelly. And gritty. And uuuugggghhhhhh. The worst thing is, Mom insisted the sediments is the most nutritious part.

(I think she was secretly enjoying my pain.)


I think I'll gladly continue to look peaky.

Trying

It is easier to be alone than to keep trying to fit into others' time and space.

The only thing that should matter to me right now is my own time.

That's all I need and should need.
