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.......

feel
It's true what they say... ''There is no pleasure without pain''.
Without experiencing what it is like to hurt... we would not know the joyous sensation that is happiness.
It's like a story with no ending... it's incomplete. While we're on that matter, it's like a story with no beginning! You need both the beginning and the end to tell a story. The journey itself is inevitable.
We need both pleasure and pain to exist. Life is all about balance. Only when the scales are tipped does tragedy happen. Miss one emotion and you might forget what it's like to be human.
To be human is to feel.
So my friends, if you're hurting right now, fret not... embrace the hurt and make good use of it. Know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel... That after all this suffering, some good will come out of it.

It's been a long time...
Wow... it's been 3 months since I updated! I've just been really busy and some things have been going on and I found other things to do beside surfing the internet on my computer which I feel can give out on me anytime!
Ok, summarized update on what's been going on...
Been in a lord of the rings watching phase these days... I just think that the extended edition box set is THE BEST DVD ever! Movie is good and the extras are AMAZING...
Also, much to the delight of my friend Kalthoum, I've been watching Supernatural too. I put it on right before I go to bed and then after watching it... I find it hard to go to sleep! Haha... But it's thouroughly entertaining and the brothers really do grow on you.
I've also been trying to explore Singapore after many of my colleagues said that I'm a tourist in my own country. I'm doing it with someone who's just as much a tourist in her own country... Kalthoum! We've only been to Chinatown and Arab street so far and there's still many places to go! We basically just pick a street to start off with and just walk around for hours. Man, I enjoyed Chinatown cos there were so many antique shops and I even bought a very old version of Shakespeare's Othello for $10! Now, if only I understood the text...
I got a new phone: Nokia E75. Yes! I finally got rid of my Samsung phone! Seriously, I was irritated with it and often found pleasure in casually throwing it down on my bed whenever I had the chance! This Nokia is sooo much better. It reacts so much faster and the functions are just so easy to get. Plus, it has a horizontal keyboard that you can slide out and type so much faster! Love Nokia...
Some of my friends have recently turned 21 and I've been to their wonderful parties... Next one is Chin Yan's at Marina Square! And my lil niece is about to turn 1! Yay, older then can start ''bullying'' her like her father ''bullied'' me! Muaahahahaha...
Well, that's pretty much it. I reallly hope I have the discipline to update it more! :)

I'm 21!
Yup, I'm fully legal now... is that a good thing? Haha... Better watch my behaviour now, anything goes wrong and its straight to jail!
Went to KL over the weekend for a shopping trip. We literally stayed there for only 24 hours. Bought loads of stuff though... A lot of books and some shirts. KL sure has a lot of places to shop at! We stayed at Berjaya Times Square which is the biggest hotel I'be ever stayed in. It has a living room, pantry and multiple doors in the toilet itself! We walked from the hotel to the twin towers and yup, it is pretty tall! Man, sis and I took a whole load of funny pictures there. Too lazy to upload it and not sure if I want to! Haha...
Thank you to all who celebrated my birthday with me!
Assumption mates... It was a very fun day going to the games cafe which is always something I always wanted to do, thanks to may ann for organising that. Special shout out to Chin Yan for buying me those accessories... We have so much in common girl! Let's meet again when I can! Hee...
Kal and En, thanks for accompanying me to the Da Vinci exhibition. It wasn't all that great, but I think we enjoyd ourselves. Special thanks to Kal for giving me that special edition Jane Eyre book. I couldn't ask for a more appropriate book for turning this age. And, you're the first one to give me a book when I love to read books adn have always wanted one for a gift!
Last but not least, thanks to my cousins for bringing me to dinner. I love that Chelsea shirt with Ballack's name on it and I wore it at home during the last match of the EPL season! I really love the Tiffany & Co. necklace with the silver key... I've always wanted something from them!
I know a lot of people expected me to have a big birthday bash. Honestly, because I have such a wonderful mum, everyday is sort of like my birthday. I don't need a major party cos everyday is kind of like one! Haha... Anyway, I couldn't have asked for a better celebration: with people that matter.
Thank you! :)
