i already started to think of what to blog when i was bathing.
hmm.
where shall i start? let's start from today then. today.. i wanted to finish up a book i borrowed weeks back, but i only finished abt 5 chapters until now i think. yup. it's called 'i did a bad thing'. the chapters are written in quite an innovative way. now, flashback, now, flashback, alternatively. at first i found it quite hard to follow but after 3 chapters, it was quite ok already. didn't manage to finish reading, cos at first when i was reading chapt 1 in the morning, i fell asleep on my mum's bed until lunch time. after lunch i went to watch tv which was showing repeat of the korean drama 'the legend'. i still think it's rather cool that pple can make shows that are so historic/ magical/ or things like that, so realistically, as if they really existed.. after watching the show, had tea with sis and mum, played typing maniac on facebook, sis left to play bball outside.. i continued to read the book until 5 then went up to the room to do a bit of yoga, my exercise regime and then ride the bicycle. somehow bcos of being able to do that, i sorta regret buying my new running shoes... after exercising came down to slack and watch more tv, help mop the floor a bit, wait for my sis to eat dinner and watch more tv and bathe and here i am.. Haha! Quite a slack sunday.
Yesterday was sabbie's birthday party. went to work first. and work was quite funky yesterday. the first lesson with the upper secs got me a bit disappointed cos the o level guys still didn't do their work which was already 2 wks late. the 2nd lesson was quite interesting, cos we discussed some girly things, about pms and stretch marks. and the girls asked me why i am so quiet compared to my sis who is much more cheerful and lively. the last 2 lessons compared to last week, were much better. less stressed up, easier, and more light-hearted. i guess.. i sorta told myself not to fret over things too much when i know i've tried my best and again and again. well, my sis would tell me that everybody has been telling me this since years back... haha! after work, i left quickly to boon lay, to meet my sis and mum, cos forgot to bring sabbie's present, which i left on my table. After that, I rushed to take the bus 174. It was a damn worrying and boring ride.
At first, i fell asleep a bit, cos i was really so tired.. then i got quite worried. cos i was on the bus on 5.40, but 6.30pm, i still don't seem to be reaching.. I travelled from boon lay to jurong, to bukit batok, bukit timah, adam road, farrer road, queensway, then to holland. I got worried and called mo up, luckily she told me I was reaching. But still, when i reached about 7pm, I missed the bus stop. So i had to walk back for a very far distance along the highway, then over the overhead bridge, climbed more and ta-da finally reached redDot brewhouse at dempsey road. I was quite exasperated! Luckily my sis didn't come (cos she ate dinner with my mum), she would have complained. HAHA! But luckily i was listening to some really nice songs on my mp3, and i didn't mind the exercise. =)
I have attended a few bdae parties these hols, but all of them were different experiences for me. sabbie's bdae party yesterday was kinda queer for me at first, cos i hardly know anyone else there. I left the earliest i think, but it was bcos I didn't want to get home too late by myself, especially if i took the bus 174. Luckily there were other buses.. i took one to clementi and then 99 and walked home. I don't have photos from the party, only 1 with mo, so here's it =) My sis and i have thought of what our bdae party would look like, if we have one..We don't really dare to hope much.. But I've thought of nice food, nice music and nice pple. I've also thought of having a live band, it would be damn cool.. playing music like 'won't go home without you' from maroon 5 (my sis and i agreed with tt song...), matchbox 20 and lifehouse would be nice.., and some chinese songs too.. HAHA. But i guess what we are most worried would be school, labs and cas... last year we had a major lab report to do on our bdae, and an exam on the next day which i didn't study for it at all... It was really quite sad.. altho some nice frens celebrated for us on the day with the dreadful exam, after that, we continued to discuss about a group project...=(
driving's pretty much the same.. quite stressful for me i guess, i dunno.. but oh wells, i hope we get better and better day by day! met up with some people outside for dinners. firstly, mum, after driving one day, to do some shopping for house stuffs, at imm. we had tom yam steamboat, which was quite weird tasting and caused me to have diarrhoea the nxt day cos it was too heaty or oily or just unhealthy. secondly, my sis's ex-classmate, who gave us both a treat at the korean restaurant at jp, cos we found him his job. the food was quite good, but the atmosphere is only ok.. i guess it's probably cos we were sitting near the door.. thirdly, some friends from uni! we met at imm and ate ajisen. It was great meeting them, kinda fun too. haha. the food was not bad.. one of them brought some homemade buffalo (chicken) wings and pizzas. which were quite good too. HAHA! lastly, some friends from secondary school to k! it was kinda cool. cos it was the first time k-ing with some of them. it was kinda fun too! haha. cos we sang song from old to new. from really really old, like cai qing. and cantonese song, and hokkien songs! haha. it was really kinda fun. after k that day, we went for dinner and had some really lousy ban mian. me and sis got treated to sundae+mcflurry cos we were helping a friend do preparations for qet which really drained me all my energy.
and tuesday i'll be meeting my dear fren who reads my blog! =DDD at imm. (eh wait.. again? hmm. i'm going to sms you to change venue. maybe. HAHA. i'll think about it k)
me and sis have been hanging out in the west so much.. jp, imm, west mall... last saturday i had wanted to go clarke quay/ national museum, cos there was a festival ongoing there.. but my sis didn't, i was a little disappointed.. We had our dinner at jp. and continued walking ard there. Cos of the gss (great singapore sale), there were really a lot of pple, + there was this raymond lam signing session, promoting alicafe coffee, from hongkong and this 933 event at bossini. I went to try on some clothes, that i really liked, but didn't buy, cos i knew that i had no occasion for them. Like i really like those pretty shoes and heels at this really nice shop, which were not expensive, but i knew i couldn't buy, cos i wouldn't need them. so other than meeting out with some people for dinner, driving, yoga and some exercising, holidays were mostly spent watch tv and at the comp and slacking. which is really quite boring and sad i guess. i wish i could have done things like travelling and jamming or just exploring diff places in spore.. but haiz. dream is not = to reality. i'm a disappointment myself i guess, cos i gave up hoping or trying.
there was this day. one wednesday, after yoga class and driving and running the first time with my new running shoes, waiting for sis to come home eat dinner with me after her bball, and then eat while we watch tv, and then suddenly started to quarrel with mum.. and in the midst of that, somehow i still managed to wash all the dishes and pots etc. my sis dragged me out and together we stayed out just downstairs till quite late. my sis and i shared a bottle of just 8% alcohol and walked home after that. just that bit of alcohol, we were flushed already, but somehow instead of getting high or anything, we cooled down so much. and even discussed what we were going to do and stuffs.
haiz.
at the end of the day, i just hope everything will go well.
anyways, my frens started a blog selling really nice and cool clothes. do support!!
I've been watching General Hospital 2, a bit of Knock Knock Loving You and Tokyo juliet on miotv. the first one got me a bit sad at first, reminding of my inabilities and disappointment.. Tokyo juliet was quite funny for me, cos i refused to watch it at first, cos i dun like the lead actress. But i got bored abt the i love you, you love me, i hate you, you hate me, and jealousy kinda stuffs, i nearly dozed off a few times when watching it, and had to forward it for a few episodes. Dunno if i'll continue tho..
Still, I haven't finished watching The Ulitmatum yet, even though channel 8 has finished showing it, the newspapers had a lot of hoo-haa over the low viewership and the wrinkles of one of the actresses, whom i thought has superb acting skills, and yesterday's newspaper even published a column for pple's mail-ins, and included mine in also. Although my 1000+ essay was cut down to less than 100 words, i guess i've shown my support for the show and its actors already, cos i really felt unjust for them. It was similar to how i felt for the korean drama 'The Slingshot', which had superb directing, music, filming and acting skills which were very convincing and deep, but didn't have high viewership. I would think bcos majority of the populations are housewifey pple who watch the tv, the ratings for such shows are lower and ratings for shows like family and stuffs which are easier to watch, are very high. like the 172-episodes korean family drama which ranked 1st and 2nd for almost every episode. How did it manage that?! I was really astonished when i found that out.
to end, i'll share 2 songs. first is song from tokyo juliet. I liked it just on the first time i heard it. cos it really expressed how i feel many times.. the next song is 'won't go home without you'.
on wednesday, strangely, we, as in bro, mum, sis and I, went to eat lunch together.
after yoga class, i walked back home, changed into shoes, then we went to jp to eat lunch. we had lunch at crystal jade, which made me and sis very surprised. somehow my bro was in a good mood then.
food!
we ate super a lot that day. so much. we were so full; both sis and i were so shocked and surprised that we ordered so much food. 4 bowls of noodles, hai jie, xiao long bao, shui jiao, fish, nuo mi ji. woots.
yesterday i bought myself a pair of running shoes. my old running shoes from 4 years ago, already thrown away...didn't intend to buy actually, cos i thought i could just run in the shoes that i wear to driving.. but i guess running really need proper shoes, cos my legs hurt really quite badly after that.
i decided i would run more often, especially since now i bought new running shoes to run with.
spent a lot of time, walked quite a no. of places, before i bought that pair... dun want to spend too much, but still want a good pair... trying to save money..since i made new specs, and in future for my hair i guess.. hmm. i think i need new clothes for schl too.. but i guess i'd probably save that too..
i hope time will pass slower... and cors not to come too soon.
and everything to pass smoothly.
♥reflected @ 7:12 PM
REFLECTIONS
I sit and cry thinking of all the regrets
How life seems to be always unfair.
I move on putting any dreams away
Hoping that I'll find them come some rainy day.
No matter how tired and weary
I will walk on.
