i managed to wake up at 7am to sms jessica, xueqin n santoso!! haha. so proud of myself. the ealiest i hv woken up tis hol wif the exception of spse camp - which doesn't count since i didn't slp at all.

showered, got dressed n went out bright n early for once. breathing in the fresh morning air, seeing the exceptionally still swimming pool n the morning dew on every blade of grass literally put a smile on my face. wat changed tt little smile into a big one was the innocence n laughter of the little ones as they sat by the fountain eagerly awaiting their different but equally sunshine-bright sch buses. in their bright n cheery uniforms, they played catching, or ooh-ed and ahh-ed over adorable babies in their comfy looking prams smelling of nice, warm milk powder.

n get tis, as i walked past, their maids, grandmas n grandpas made all these cute-voiced 3-5 year olds stand in a line to say n i quote: "jie jie ni jing tian hen mei. chu men xiao xin." (translate: big sis, ur v pretty today, take care n hv a nice day.) n baby xavier hugged me n he didn't wanna let go! omg. (coos in delight!) i lurve kids!! except when i'm in a rotten mood coz it irks me tt some ppl can be perpetually happy. haha. i'm queer, yes, i noe.

in kindergarten, like them, they look forward to sch each n everyday. in pri sch, u look forward to sch provided there is no spelling n if u completed ur hmwrk. in sec sch, u only look forward to sch bcoz u can go out n hv fun aft tt. in jc, u dread sch. totally. in poly, wat sch?? ur no longer considered students in the govt's eyes! (no youth day, no transport concession, etc.)

anyway, pia 2 sessions of yoga. sore muscles. but i feel strangely gd. hehe. n the receptionist at the yoga centre said: "joy, u haven been coming for a v long time." firstly, she can rmbr my name. secondly, she is aware of the fact tt i haven been attending classes!! out of sooo many members, i actually made an impression. whee~ ok fine, i'm prob one of the youngest full-fledged members there, so ppl r bound to notice. but its nice to be remembered.

then i walked around raffles place alone. absorbed in the energy of the financial world. ya, i hv no life. o_0 hungry, i sat at a cafe n people-watched. blackberry handhelds, subway sandwiches n starbucks coffee was a staple in almost everyone's hands as they scrambled back to the office aft lunch hr. black power-suits, jet black hair, pursed lips n briefcases sashayed around. tis is my future life. one w/o colour, one w/o laughter. but i like it! hey, i already said i was weird. so quit the funny stares?!?! hehe.

caught mommy at her business luncheon. professional, serious n no-nonsense. her tone was brisk n her smile was brief. she didn't even bother give me time for aimless chatter. oh wells, tis is the working mommy. my role-model. lalala. ^^

though, there is a dampener in today's otherwise pleasant 'a-day-to-myself'.. cramps. arggghh.. so its now, retreat to my bed, peanut butter cookies n "my lovely samsoon dvds". screw tt time of the mth.
i am all alone. n i'm feeling like crap. *whines*

i wanna get better for mommy's promised all expenses paid shopping trip n pedicure!!! how can i ever miss tt?!?! mommy calls tis "a back to sch perk." haha.. i love sch. lolx.
