This Is It

I passed my basic theory test today! Nearly after a year that I signed up! Haha... Now I got my PDL and I'm looking forward to starting to learn how to drive! One thing I gotta say about BBDC... The girls there all look like they're into anime or something... Almost all are really white, have dyed brown hair and fake eyelashes. Then the instructors there look tired, like they just smoked a carton of cigarrettes and their skin took a beating from that! What a place of contrast...

After that, I popped over to Jurong East library and found some nice books. I found out then that they blocked my IC! Cos I lost my wallet and therefore my IC in 2005... So I had to replace the card. After I replaced it, I took the 2 books that I found and walked out... without checking them out yet! The alarm went off and all the security guard did was just to sit in his chair and look at me! Haha... ended up borrowing an encyclopedia of Calligraphy and a book on Art Deco.

In the evening, mum sis and I went to watch Michael Jackson's This Is It. Boy, if I were a fan, I think I'd be bawling my eyes out. Everytime I saw the trailer for the show, I got a bit emotional and watching the film wasn't any different. It was the parts when he talked about the ideas that he had and trying to perfect that segment of the show. You see the genius that he is during those moments. The first half of the show I was rather emotional but as it went on, I found myself smiling and just appreciating who he is. I really hope and pray that people will pay one last sign of respect to this great man of our time and just go, just pick yourself up and go to the cinema to watch his last moments. Please do not illegally watch or download this film because it will be nothing but disrespect to the King of Pop. Oh, and another suggestion... if your bladder isn't bursting by the end of the show, or if you're not in any rush, try to stay until the credits finish! :)

Food + Opinions = ???

I have been blessed with wonderful weekends!

Mid week however.... Sis cooked a meal for her boyfriend as an early birthday present abd we all helped a little. Then the next day we went to watch My Sister's Keeper and cried our eyes out. I read the book recently and thought it was pretty good. The movie however... I know you're supposed to view the movie and book as 2 seperate entities but no matter, under any circumstances, I think, that you should change the ending of the book! Sure, it'll probably please a lot more cinema-goers, but... wtf?!?!?!?

On Friday, I went to the zoo with a close dear friend and was pleasantly surprised when they all still remembered me and let me and Angie do some stuff for free! Sometimes I miss working there... Haha...

Saturday I met up with my poly girls. We caught up with Yu En on married life and the rest of us just chatted our girly talk. We walked from Far East to Orchard central and finished it off with a movie (500 days of summer) at Cineleisure. Orchard central? I didn't really like it... It didn't have much flow for me and the shops there weren't too interesting. I prefer Ion, if only I had more money... :)

Yesterday, someone told me that ''I look pretty, if only... its just my weight only...''. If I had a dollar for everytime I have heard that...
I wish that I could tell it: ''I don't have a problem with my weight or the way I look. YOU are the one with the problem, and before you say anything about me, why don't you take a good look in the mirror first? Being skinny does not justify you as being beautiful. Who the hell are you to let your opinions out for everyone to hear? Why don't you just take your opinions and shove it up your asshole of a brain?!''

Ah, if only we could say things and get away with it... :)

Thank goodness for 3 small digits

What a contrast thes past 2 weekends have been! Last weekend I was running around attending my friend's 21st birthday party (on Sat) and helping my uncle do a performance (on Sun) for a close friend of his' daughter's birthday. Needless to say it was a packed weekend and by Sunday evening I was exhausted, collapsed on my bed and slept completely still for about 3 hours.

This weekend... I wanted to make plans. Call my 1 of 2 single girlfriend and see if she wanted to do anything or call my guy friend and see if he was doing anything. But I decided to spend some time at home with mummy. We went grocery shopping Friday evening and bought stuff to cook on Saturday....

See, I've recently been in a cooking phase. I'm interested in it and I would like to improve on that skill while I have some time. So I've been watching cooking shows on TV and even bought 2 cookbooks! And after watching the movie 'Julie & Julia' I knew I wanted to cook something this weekend! Btw, that movie is quite funny! More of a chick flick and a long chick flick at that!

So on Saturday we cooked corn soup with toufu, eggs, steamed pomfret and stir-fried spinach. And on Sunday we cooked curry. I wanted to break out a recipe from the cookbook but I thought I'd begin with something more familiar, to my mother anyway, so she could teach me some skills.

And it just so happened that the Borders email that I subscribe to, this week, has a voucher for 25% off any Jamie Oliver cookbook! And since I'm a member, I get an additional 10% off! Guess I'll be making a trip down to town this week!

I also bought 2 new CDs this week. (I've been running out of cash but I got some extra money from the performance, thank god!) Paramore and Mika. Paramore still sounded pretty much the same, not too much groth to them, and each song sounded similar but not in a good way. Mika, however, was fantastic. I was doing housework while listening to him and managed to listen to the CD 3 times! There were variations in each of his songs and a total Mika-ness to them... But, after listening to it, I really have to wonder if he was gay or not. Look out for tracks: 'Blame it on the girls', 'Dr John', 'Good Gone Girl' and 'Touches You'. If you're a fun, quirky person, you'll definitely like this album!

A nice weekend

I like Sundays spent at home.... Mum's at home so there willl always be food when I wake up. She washes the clothes and burns essential oils so the house smells heavenly. I laze around as much as I can until mum chases me to do some housework! Haha... but today we're both lazy to do housework so it's extra shiok cos I can truly laze around! (Frankly, I'm tired of lazing around... can't wait to start work!)

Yesterday Jess and Ruyi came over for a little while. We have been trying to meet up for the longest time but Ruyi missed Jess by just 10 min! Trying to meet up on Monday night for dinner...

It was also my friend's wedding yesterday. A lot of people are shocked when I tell them she's 22. But hey, when you're ready you're ready right? It was so exciting cos she's the first person whose wedding I went to that I am close with. Also, all my classmates caught up with each other cos the last time we saw each other it was graduation! How quickly life moves along... and it's only been a year!

It's been a while, so here are some pictures...

Watched Funny People on Friday and it was hilarious! I cried at one point cos the family dog was licking the kid's ear... something Dixie used to do to me, only me... God, I miss her... I can't really remember her smell anymore.......
