its been ages since i did something tt on impulse. on tues, i fully intended to go hm, perhaps swim before hitting the bks. but shopping with yilynn n bee bee proved too great to resist. afterall, its been approx a yr since i really saw beefong n i did need my d&d dress. =P

we walked frm orchard to dhoby ghaut. stopping at every shopping centre along the way, pigged out at gelare (1/2 price waffles!) n many other eateries. i walked soo much till my blister burst n there was blood!! whoever said slippers were comfy. bahx.

we ended up not buying anything.. sian, time is running out!! omg.. i wan tt perfect dress, tt perfect mani n pedi, tt perfect hair-do, tt perfect me. ladeedums~

btw, tangs lingerie dept is oh-so-fabulous!! the selection is huge.. not forgetting the superly posh changing rms complete with sofas, carpets, textured walls, dim lighting n all-around mirrors! each rm is specially designed to suit its fancy name. (e.g. luxe deluxe, queen of hearts, etc.) one wonders y the rm is soo big, large enough to prance around n the purpose of the sofas???

the kids section is also amazing. the clothes r miniature replicas of the adult version. (note: it is similarily priced as well.) the dressing rms also look like mini bedrooms with fancy lighting, sofas n dressing tables with those mega lightbulbs found in tv studios. no wonder kids today r spoilt!!!

sorry ting i couldn't meet u for dinner/supper. it was kinda late n as u noe, i do hv a curfew.. missing ya. =)

i can't wait for d&d! yippee.. plus, i'm super proud tt i surpassed target n sold 13 tickets w/o even taking up mommy's offer to purchase 7. joy has grown up n knows how to wrk for wat she really wants. yup yup.. its now time to change tt focus to the studies which hv been in "constant decline".

mr goh jon-keat: "ur will be part of the financial world. where u not only wrk u under pressure. u hv to perform n in fact, excel under pressure. stress is no excuse. carelessness is not tolerated as it is costly. a little more effort is nothing."

spent time with xq, wj n the other 2 girls in their class. one of them did my nails, french manicure. =) after which, accompanied zest to the salon to get his hair cut. its my turn on the 11th of dec!! yeah yeah.. everyone says the place is gd. its only sad tt they didn't treat me v well on the phone. oh wells, its free. so can't demand much.. lalala..

while waiting for his hair to be done, i sat at starbucks where mommy's voucher greatly subsidised my drink. GINGERBREAD LATTE FRAP. the new xmas flavour. yummy yummy. n i realised wat yilynn said was totally true, "eating alone is kinda therapeutic." so zen..

yes yes, start nagging tt starbucks coffee is packed with calories, i did do w/o whipped cream!! haha.. so hopefully tt helps a teeny weeny bit. there was also tis friendly n smiley uncle who spoke to me. he is old n nice in a grand-fatherly sorta way, but his eng is perfect.

old man: i heard tt u ordered gingerbead latte? do they really squeeze ginger inside?
me: huh? i dun tink it means tt..
old man: i wouldn't dare to try something so new. so abstract. u young ppl r brave.
me: haha.. its just coffee.
old man: oh, i'm old. we r resistant to change.
me: its a matter of trying. age shld not matter.
old man: *laughs* oh, there's my friend. i'll cya around. nice speaking to you.

i wanna grow old n b able to spend idyllic times jetsetting around the world n having coffee at up-market coffee joints with old pals. haha.. daydreaming again.

met up with santoso at cityhall before taking 174 to mr ong's hse for bbq. on the way to his place, we saw tis women who appeared to be having fits. having collasped on the floor, we helped her hail a cab to sgh. she seems ok at times n able to speak coherently but in the v nxt sec, she completely forgotten who we were n appears dazed. hmm, an adveture. haha.

but tis 2 somewhat aged ppl (old man at starbucks n woman along rdside) shows how diff two ppl of approx the same age can live two v diff lifestyles. i wanna be like the former. i wan my parents to live like the former. my grandparents likewise. so nv ever take health forgranted.

bbq was fun with, jessica, tianhock, sengwang, xueqin, wangjia, michelle, huixian, guiyi, santoso, richard, gerald, zest, guowei, darren and amir.

we played the swings till i scrapped my toes (ouch!), climbed on the playground, sang songs n gossipped till the food was done. the benefits of being a girl. hahaha. aft eating, we sat around to talk till it was time to head hm.

so much for waking up early n attending stats! the stupid newmann chew (i put his name bcoz he really is mei you yong can?!) tis time is not nv teach. he just conveniently opted to absent himself entirely. bloody hell!

awoke tired n sick today. stupid flu virus. so pon pacc.. but i will go for the 4 lects. i must. for the sake of myself n my grades.
