miss you guys like crazy...

well i am starting to feel a little homesick... :)

it started when my other friend from NZ who's 21, mentioned that i seem to know what to do and what to say and stuff... i have been reading maps and instructions and all so i guess she's right in some sense... she says it's easy to just follow me around the school... and the procedures as well...

and then i thought of my family of course... i love giving directions whenever we go for hols and stuff... cause i like map reading... have this uncanny liking for it... getting my way around... :)

and then i had a quick glance at my textbooks and realised how difficult it's going to be.. and I don't have my sage around to help me with it... then i started to panic and miss home...

so i called home at 430am in the morning... didn't get anyone and was quite disappointed... good thing i tried again and got my mom :) he called back as well... which was a good thing... though knowing it's an american number...

feeling much better now...

and yes i have been praying like mad every now and then for my school stuff and to meet the right pple to get the right things done and all... all my prayers have been answered thank God... been reading my Bible more regularly... and it's been a good time of refreshing... :)

prayers answered (not in chronological order and not comprehensive nor exhaustive)
include:

1. Christian family host (me and mom prayed about this)
2. Church to attend (my hosts attend a presbytarian church!)
3. Admin and getting-there stuff (been smooth sailing though not easy but manageable!)
4. Weather (I have been adapting well)
5. Christian friends ( I realised my other two nus friends are christians. one of whom even attended anntic with me!)
6. Activities to join (there are options for me to choose, including college republicans as well as the christian fellowship thingy with the international orientation group being very active)

all the above have been answered not just in one prayer for each but countless... :)

thank God for it.

Thanks for praying for me all you pple in singapore!

though i would need more prayer in these other things as well:
1. Good teachers and good environment of learning
2. Being able to adapt to the new learning system
3. Meet good christian friends for support
4. Be a support to these friends as well
5. Be a light bulb in this world of darkness
6. Favour with God and men in everything I do and say
7. Adaptability with the climate
8. Money Management for my courses and books and stuff
9. Life style adaptation
10. Times of refreshing in the Lord!!!

whoa the list looks endless.. haha actually they're much for me to pray over alot as well...

Thanks again! Love you all...

campus visit

the area is so huge! there's a shopping centre, arts and dance theatre, many old and ancient looking libraries whose outlook i fell in love with in the pictures i saw and i most definitely would be taking pictures of the campus when there's better weather than the heavy rain that came yesterday...

well yes i am up again at 430am... which is irritating really... but i figured i could waste no time by getting online and checking out for my classes and all...

had most of my administrative stuff done, which is a relief... though there's more notably when school starts.. everyone's on this super long weekend and friday was a good time to do those admin stuff since everyone's a trifle more lenient... haha

and yes i have gotten two of four of my textbooks and they're so expensive. i gotta get the book rebate thing somehow... though 8% only... but still helps! imagine paying US500 for your books... can puke blood really... :(

can't find any course schedule thing going and so i guess it's going to be blind aiming for my courses till my instructor tells us otherwise... :(

new year's day... what am i thinking of doing? haha honestly? studying... anyway i haven't been able to sleep late here... so i might as well save myself the embarrassment of not being able to keep awake at any parties... though that might change with time... :)

had my first american big meal at johnny rockets! it's ex but i guess american food's generally rather expensive when you convert the currency to sing dollars... it's nice and much better than singapore's fast food really... but i am also looking forward to trying all the restaurants within campus... there are hundreds of them... no kidding and am not exaggerating! should take some pics soon... it's difficult to visualise...

walked in the rain the whole day on campus... might be getting a cold... but i sure hope not! it sucks... :( and it's particularly cold when you're wet and all in the cold and rain...

not to mention that hot coffee is most appreciated then! now you know why they're crazy about coffee here! :)

guilty as charged.

i shopped and splurged. ok i feel guilty. sorry... :(

but i had to get that bag for my mom. i know she'll love it. didn't really think about getting myself anything but a cheap wallet which i would need when i am there. and keep thinking twice about my expenses... which is a good thing... for all you know i might turn out to be more thrifty than you know!

well as i have mentioned my host Kathryn mentioned all about the christians' fellowship and the whole family goes to church.. so i would probably follow them upthere on sunday... :) Thank God!

don't worry i won't be spending too much from now onwards... though i would say that the textbooks sound like they would be mighty expensive.. i would be saving up to spend on those in fact! :)

clothes are cheap here as well though i didn't buyany... erm, the dkny and liz claiborne is so inexpensive... costs what giordano might sell for...it's winter but the summer things are still around here and there especially when it's at the discount section... ya... oh well... elizabeth (my host's daughter) told me that ross was really cheap... could get jeans for like 10 bucks... might want to check that out some time in the near future.. but meanwhile i would like to check out the school... tomorrow we're going to do that... sounds interesting and i am quite excited! i saw the gym in school and it's huge! it's like some mega california fitness thing which is just built... i could get there after classes or maybe just pop by the gym in my own hall which would be rather run down i guess... given the looks of the hall from the outside (we've been driving around the uni quite often)

the people here are friendly! and very nice... the store keepers are nice and all and they don't look at people's clothing and treat them as and whatever they want... even in the boutique stores which i went to check out how the prices differed from that in singapore... haha we need to learn a thing or two from the americans about service huh?

i took pictures of costco- which is a huge warehouse retailer... the stuff they sell comes in great quantities and the carts we had to push are huge! the samples they give out every here and there are very generous as well! and you might even say you could eat a whole meal out of the samples alone... haha")

which i don't mind of course... hehe

my host is constantly on a diet program and that's keeping me in check on my diet as well... haha... i went for a 20 min run upon seeing that she works-out three times a day for 20 mins each time and she snacks heathily 6 times a day!

amazing woman she is...

and the house has an attic, a garage like american homes do and i am currently sleeping in the basement room which you can't see from the main floor until u open the book case like you see in the movies! fun huh?

we're eating mexican tonight... the family, me and another student who's come to stay ;)

i keep asking about house prices and about the social life here.. it's not so different from back home... houses are very expensive in seattle and there's a rising number of people who are living singularly... the education poses a problem much for the fact that the school bullies are always at work...which is haiz... bad of course... kids get beaten up and bullied for nothing...

oh the political environment is crazy here...everyone's talking politics... my hosts support bush. i do too! i guess it's because he's such a godly person and most church going people support them... esp the jews here... since bush openly defends them..

ya i have learnt so much! and did my rounds in looking around... i don't think i have so much time to do so when i get to school... going to have much to do in homework and gyming! if i get to it... the weather makes me just want to sleep in everytime...

meanwhile i have been at the telly a little to help me to sleep...

oh i have gotten much over my jet lag! thanks to their hospitality of getting me out of the house the wholeday... it gets dark like at about 4pm or earlier... quite short days that they have but it's nice weather still... :) the lakes here are gorgeous... lake washington is the larger one and that would be the one that my hall overlooks... i can't help but feel excited about waking up to the lake every morning!though classes start at 830 and i would have to be up very early to make sure i be early and have time to walk to my classes.. from one end of the campus to the other.. lots of exercise there haha...

okies i'll update you guys again soon! I promise i won't shop unnecessarily... :) though i have taken looks at the boots here and they're really cheap... on discount. heh.

okies will save for possible trips and outings with the christian fellowship group! and books of course...

Sophie out.

learning republican ways...

had my tour around seattle and the city skyline's beautiful... :) although i was a trifle tired and fell asleep whilst liz was driving but the hot cuppa mocha woke me up totally... I would be too pleased to try to get about a little to work out but seems that it's no opportunity since well... things haven't exactly settled around here...

just got news from my prof, he said that my registeration stuff have been more or less solved and that's a relief cause it means that i don't have to do too much administrative stuff...

drinking mocha in one hand and egg nosh in the other... which contains wine of course... :)

kathryn's not supposed to give it to me since i am under 21 and the age for drinking here is 21 and above.. which sparked off alot of issues since people are allowed to vote at 18... and you kinda become an adult once you start to vote...

and kathryn's telling me to join the college republicans and go for their conferences which they sponsor for free... :) over the weekend... and just nice for myself since i don't have classes on friday which makes me very available for all that!

the campus is wonderously huge and beautiful... it has nice old building structures which i fell in love with when i was looking through pictures for the unis for sep... (that's why i chose seattle- the uptown in the city) they have this california fitness like huge building called the ima for students to use for free... i only have to walk about a couple of blocks down to exercise... although in the cold winter...

am getting used to the weather here... been looking around and asking about how i should layer my clothing and all... not so much for fashion but it seems that the girls here are intimidatingly stylish in their clothing... which they don't impose on others of course... as long as one's comfortable... :)

and i am! thank God i brought my boots along... should do the trick of looking uptown... :)

ah and i might try to join the international students' organisation in its activities.. fiuts...

they are really active and i love the sound of it... i had signed up for the shopping trip with fiuts
and should be looking forward to it in a week's time... suppose would be trying to join them for all the other activities... heard they dance alot and hang out skiing and stuff...

i went shopping today, well technically window shopping... :) and i was trying to resist myself since i wouldn't want to use the money i could well spend on making this trip more memorable... i mean... i would rather use the money for skiing or something...

ah yes, i visited the starbucks headquarters... probably for the whole world! hehe... was nice..

starbucks is around every corner... around every bend...

ah yes i finally got in touch with the politics here.. and i finally understood why it's so important to americans... i only wish the asians would be more outspoken to voice their own opinions as well...

don't mind me speaking american... i think it's probably going to last a long time... !!!

sophie out.

Enter Seattle!

I am using my host family's internet access now... ya kinda got settled in and the flight was good except that at the last part i was trying hard not to puke from the poor ventilation... guess it got the better of me at the end... good thing we were landing then pretty soon... I'm 16 hours behind that of singapore and guess it would be weird timings that i would be online but i would try to figure things out as soon as i can!

:)

and yes there's alot of food in this house that i can have... which is a good and bad thing... good thing is of course i wouldn't be hungry at all, bad thing is that well... size increment can be a real concern worldwide!

My hosts are really nice and in fact i would be accompanying the daughter to the mall later... in midafternoon, which would be probably 8am in the morning for you? I don't know but you guys are probably asleep now...

well i got to make the most of this coffee and tea crazy city! had my chamomile tea and it was fabulous... went around to look at the city skyline but it was a little dark and all and so i didn't take pictures (ok the real reason was that i didn't know how to operate it)

and had an idea of the prices of food in seattle... generally pretty good for the amount they serve.. they've got lots of veggies and all as well as the great big burgers and sandwiches... starbucks is everywhere and i think it's pretty much the same in singapore dollars per cup... shouldn't be drinking it too often! :)

i'll update you soon... :) very in fact!

to breakfast to breakfast to eat all my fill...

home again home again... back to the packing still...

breakfast was nice and cosy and warm! Thank you girls for waking up so early to meet me! (though you guys came late... haha)

then we watched the chronicles of narnia!

nice movie it was!

and it's 12 more hours to my going away... checking in and all... i'm so touched he and possibly my cousins would be coming at 4am... in the morning... from practically the other side of singapore...

just remembered about my epi assignment by jon... ha... he ah always on my back for the articles leh... *joking* we're just always talking about ONLY epi stuff isn't it Jon? :)

and I am forever writing about RELATIONSHIPs...

some things don't change... :)

a simple dinner... and a ginger bread man!

The day kicked off well with half a loaf of bread for breakfast! (due to the humongous amount of leftovers from yesterday's party) and followed up with my whole family going for a dip in the pool... was a good thing since i hadn't been exercising in ages... :)

then went out and got so shocked with presents of a essential dessert cookbook as well as a huge gingerbread man from coffee bean... the time spent was gorgeous...

if I could only stay on longer... to spend the time with my loved ones... seems like it's never enough when you realise the time's too short... :(

spending on some and splurging on others... sheesh

ya sheesh. can you imagine me bringing bottles of shampoo over (actually more for the suitability of hair care products) and having to buy my own telephone and water heater and reading lamp there?

it's unimaginable. I can almost picture myself trying to peer into the darkness when the day falls short of sunlight... especially when i am going in the winter- which has short daylight hours...

good thing we don't practice those daylight saving hours s***...

or i'll hover in confusion...

well the party we threw for our relatives and all was really nice and successful! my cousins would be sending me off and i was so touched... after all i only started catching up with them very recently... and yes one of my many cousins who went overseas just came back fatter (which is a good thing for his very slim body) as well as a crop of greyish greenish jap-styled hair... was so darn cool!

my dad asked him to give me some tips about living abroad and the funny thing is that he actually asked me to first convert my licence into an international one and rent all the sports cars to drive and all... he's one daredevil kind... haha... cousins... we think alike.. though for good reasons of cost i wouldn't... but then again... hey i have got that ise card which gives me cars for US $40 a day... very reasonable...

haha... then again... i love to be driven...

if only i had met my good friends in business earlier (since i only got closer to them this sem) then i wouldn't be having these problems... would most probably be going with them to the US (at least with those who are keen on going) and then we'll all work things out together... like the renting of car and stuff like that...

unfortunately... i'm decidedly braving it out (and by choice mind you)... cause i could have lived with the singaporean friends i met before all these stuff were confirmed but i chose to live alone, or with the locals... just not within such close proximity! haha... but got to learn to share the space and let go... be independent... think american... which isn't such a bad idea since i think we chinese have alot to learn from them... the smart americans are some of my finest role models... like steve jobs from apple and bill gates from microsoft... oh not to mention the butt-kicking scott mc nealy... ha.

i'm not in the least bit bothered by the alcohol in my tummy... had alot of bailey's to drink... irish cream is superb i tell you... and yes since i wouldn't dream of drinking too much over there... with my family, it's safe and good... :)

though i wouldn't deny my wanting to hang out at the jazz pubs within my campus... oh no not the ones off campus... not at night at least...

got to catch up with fun...

my uncle told me about his turkish experience... and showed me some pictures he took with his phone... was very nice... and amazing... do you know of this mosque/church which used to be a church but was converted to a mosque once the muslims took over the country in turkey? It's the Hagia Sophia or something... for my name's sake i should visit! haha... and they only found out it used to be a church when the plaster the muslims plastered over the gold-plated painting of the apostles and mary and baby Jesus started to peel due to weathering...

God uses nature-something he created, to show us his glory and beauty once again... amazing.

church was nice and warm today... said my last good byes to my friends whom i won't see again except for the brady bunch of micah 6:8! we'll be meeting for breakfast on tues...

okies i have been eating alot these days and skipping my exercise... seriously... i think i don't have so much of a care anymore... and it's frightening... i need to get in the 'zone' esp when i still can...

though the baked fish, honey ham, roasted turkey and pao dian were so good my mom gaped when i had my like 7th round?

am not exaggerating. my mom is still gaping!

not done.

just not done with my packing. can't as yet! Now that i have gotten the letter for my housing, for which i really thank God, they state that i have to bring my own lamp and bed sheets and stuff... oh well, maybe it's a common thing to be for housing on campus but haiz, guess the whole problem is having to keep adding things to the luggages which are starting to resemble bloated pillows... what with the cute colours they are in...

i'll be bringing everything you could possibly think of... down to morning cereals for the mornings in which i wouldn't know how to get about to get my meals and groceries... and doing everything i can think of... down to dividing my things into two bags in any case of luggage loss...

ha. the singaporean kiasuism...

everything is still all over the place but i guess i like the fact of packing with time... that makes me a little calmer... which is surprising... since i am the sort to do everything all at once... which comprises all the stress as well...

my results? well i guess i maintained it. which isn't a thing to really rejoice over since i am at the borderline... of a future choice i might have to make... to drop or take up... double or get out.

for now... speak american slang... use american bucks... study american ways... and erm... my friends are making me try for an american bf... haha... please... my parents and relatives would freak out! totally man...

my family would be throwing a christmas party tomorrow for my relatives... and yes i would be seeing them once more before i leave... :) which is nice...

but the preparations are under way and very intense... our marketing lasted three whole hours this morning till afternoon and in no way was any time lost... *grit*

had been having those headaches for a long time now... don't know why and don't understand them... maybe it's a lack of supplements but definitely not a lack of sleep! maybe it's too much rest.. which makes me a little more pudgy than before and yes possibly having those throbbing headaches...

i am assigned a triple room! *horrified look*

I guess it's God's way of getting me to get along... i was so adamant on staying alone... but it didn't work out... because they wouldn't allow a newcomer to have one room on her own... so i tried the double room and man they gave me a triple.

the double room is retrofitted to accomodate three people

yeah right. i would imagine a huge squeeze.

less volume of space, more particles, more collisions... which may mean more of those you-know-what... *shudder* I hate to think of cat fights.. they aren't pretty... uh uh...

of course i could be accomodating and nice and we'll be great friends! and shop and stuff together... :)

sounds fun...

oh, got to travel a longer distance to my business school... i initially tried for the housing opposite my school but they gave me one on the other side... sheesh... and i have 830am classes!

though i thank God for the well-equipped gym facilities... and yes this place actually allows me to hang out with more different kinds of people.. which is good la... don't get too cooped up in my own little world there... main thing is to mix!

and find my caucasian bf... *shrug*

*joking!*

more things to make me feel like coming home already!

went to the hangout at Becky's place and it was fun! We played this pyramid game sort of thing and got to know everyone from everywhere... her friends from overseas and friends from other ministries and stuff... it's amazing how when christians alike come together things always start on quite an even par isn't it? and we kinda more or less get along... :)

then went for a drink and some supper with drew and jan... humourous. i guess that made my going away more desirable since i know i have friends to look forward to meeting and sharing about my experiences and such when i get back home... three months perhaps might be too short a time... but oh well... thing is to get my stuff ready for now... should be busy in recent times... :( till i get there and there's only more really...

wonderful time

thanks for the wonderful time of watching perhaps love and the game of pool which made me know and understand my imperfections very well... :)

wonderful malaysia...

ha thinking of being malaysian for now... :) seems to me that the life here is good, the food is fantastic, the homes are very affordable and the prospects are good since the brain drain is from here to singapore!

what a change in mind?!?

haha... but i really don't mind earning in pounds and spending in ringgit or other currencies... :)

which is what alot of malaysians are doing really...

we went out with aunty maryanne's family to bukit tinggi to see the wonderful french village of a hotel and with a view to kill! it was wonderful, sipping ginger and lime tea and eating ipoh char kway teow... ohh... :)

and finished it off with two plates of beef and fish hor fun...

goodness i really do need alot of workout and diet control for sure after this... or else someone else is going to complain about me being a huge rolly-polly! but then again this week is going to be done in with alot of pigging out and catching up sessions... finding what i need and buying those.. packing alot.

madness.

am so tired but somehow finding the time to blog about my part of sunny life for now... after all i won't be having much of those opportunities until three months later... I don't know whether to sob or to jump about in excitement... i feel that the former sounds a little more feasible for me to carry out for now though... ha

and yes i went to my parents' friends' home where kind aunty maryanne showed me her drawing and painting prowess as well as her way of taking things around the house... man she's pretty, sporty, cooks well, bakes well, and paints- good enough for sale pieces... she's got so much going for her... and not to mention that her 9 year old son is quite a sensation- he's one of the most charismatic little boys i have ever met in my life!

now do i wisfully look forward to being an equally fantastic house wife? hm... like i said to andrew the other day- depends on my future husband really... it's all up to him... :) and of course depends on whether i can bake and cook as well as she does... haha

ate so much today i am going berserk. ha

and the other thing that is driving me nuts is the lack of time i have in planning my packing for my three months overseas as well as the meet-ups i have with friends during the course of the week... and my parents' indecision on staying another night here and there or not. it disrupts my whole regime. quite tormenting... haiz... i think i need to learn how to be a little more flexible though...

hi it's me reporting for an impossible life.

eating, sleeping, shopping (ok so i was the one dragging water bottles here and there while i watched in amazement at how i would be passing up chinese new year with my family buying their new cny clothes) here in the heart of malaysia. shopping whole day long. KL's known to me like my fingers and yes I have been tested by the force of resistance to cheap deals.

what an irony! I was just having my anntic camp a few days ago and with CCR's youth retreat in toll just before that and now I am faced with the prospect of learning how to handle these worldy stuff on my own.

*grit*

but God has been good... I don't really fancy the shopping too much! In fact I enjoyed the eating much more... imagine eating kenny rogers' and secret recipe and the like for half the price... hehe... that's what i call a real bargain...

ah yes, it would be apparent to alot of you that i haven't been back in singapore in a long time and i hesitate and regret to let you know that i would not be in a long time to come... will be back in Singapore from KL by 18th Dec.

would be flying off on the 28th Dec 2005 for seattle, for my exchange program and would be coming back on the 28th March 2006.

the accomodation's not confirmed as well as with the home stay... yeeks. God's giving me the peace though practically i should be crying... ha.

and my air ticket's not collected.

God help me.

week coming up brings two pot lucks and outings so far. thank God for those seasons of joy.

Anntic Camp 2005 by VCF

wow.

i believe it apt for me to reflect and update on what has been happening in the last 6 days and 5 nights- which have been most encouraging and spiritually refreshing... enlightening to the eyes.

so many things have happened during the camp and i feel like that little rambling girl who did so for her previous camp in vcf - her foc camp, about a year and a half ago. it seems like such a short time has passed but it hasn't. everyday brings me closer to the probability of wasting away my time in the most astonishingly disgraceful manner. i need to rethink students' ministry and call it my own.

i was the logistics head for the camp and with it carried the responsibility of ensuring that everything that needed to be brought there was done so. thank God for Ian and Taiyu who helped me with the stuff... really appreciated the help and thanked them in my thanksgiving speech on friday night. angeline was chairperson, gilbert the camp commandant, danielle and tze fong the experiential games heads, lingyin the treasurer, yinbing the secretary and esther my co logistics personnel.

man it was a mad rush trying to tie things down at the last minute which could not have been avoided as we really had no time after that of the exams. nevertheless we made do with what we had and thankfully, God made things happen where we seem most inadequate.

i thank God that the t shirts came on just fine and so was the delivery. the games me and esther planned went well and good. where i had to make speeches impromptu i thank God for the eloquence and the wisdom in speech. where i had lacked i thank God for allowing me to bring joy to my bunk mates by chatting them up... though different groups at various times which made me sleep a lot less!

hehe. and i ate like a pig. 6 meals a day. morning, break, lunch, tea time, dinner and last but not the least supper at about 11 every night without fail. i thank God i didn't grow too much fatter. and what with the lack of exercise... ")

the theme talks and the workshops (1. Sacred and Secular Divide 2. Apologetics 3. Social life of a Christian) as well as the games though being a station master and the seafood dinner on the last night was amazing. I loved every moment of it all and I only wished that time could have stayed a little longer with us... :)

made wonderful friends in my group AMOS :
taiyu, amanda, jonathan, ri xin, vivien, delia, man ting, kin yew, donn, chien hua, becky and me.

we were touted the noisiest group but so what? haha... had a lot of fun albeit crappy and it's been an amazingly hilarious time!

the only pangs i felt was when i let some of my friends there at anntic know that i would be leaving singapore in no time at all... sadness filled my heart as i know that i might not be able to meet up with those friends who would be graduating by the time i get out of exchange...

jan ho, taiyu, wei hao, andrew, vivien, all the dinosaurs, angeline, kelvin tan, marcus, ronald, joel etc... haiz.

goodness knows where all these would lead us to? but what's most important is the friendships that i have found in them and that that they have found in me. if we were to meet in the future one day. thank God! otherwise i would hope to see them in heaven anyway... :) so i shall pray for them...

prominence and success have given themselves new meaning in this camp. they don't mean as much to me as before. i felt it strongly when God spoke to me. he is God my Banner and in no one else will i find my jehovah nissi. :)

someone's going away although not in the near future... albeit never stating intentions in the beginning... why. eyes have seen that caught the wind of a seemingly bleak outlook, yet hope sparkles in the eyes. talkable eyes.

btw do i really look like a prc? or an abc after being heard? apparently so. was quite amused. :) some people speak with tact but give away clues in purpose. original. but i sense no hope in silence and mere help from others.

argh a gratifying of the ego.

mayday mayday!

help. one wrong turn and the rest goes tumbling. you wonder if this is a trial set up by yourself or a trail intended to secure certain things in life or both?

interrogations done in bad taste though i reckon they have been found wanting of an earlier timeslot.

can't blame others for the sudden outbursts. it's been a difficult time for explanations and understanding.

especially when they haven't been following up and keeping up.

God's been telling me something despite the wrong turns and hard knocks. he still wants me. question is whether i am willing to open my heart to let him want me? I do. I have experienced at least somewhat enough to know that a day in the Lord's presence is even worth fighting for. what not eternity?

fulfillment and justification of your own actions... which takes precedence?

serving the Lord with bliss and pride or a lacklustre spirit? if with the latter i would rather none. till things are right again... then again things are never going to be entirely alright isn't it?

and alot of words are mere nouns. words have lost their meaning in translation and time... people change and labels become obsolete. but i don't think it's my task to convert the converted. but to let go and see what God makes of it all...

another buffet lunch. third one in a row this week alone.

another shopping trip this week. two to date.

the whole world's pmsing...

and no amount of satisfaction derived from having a part in the vs sale would applease...

which is left to your imagination to guess what it represents...

retail therapy for me this time... and it doesn't really bring a kick in unless i can truly verify the fact that my money was well spent...

went out with my mom and sis today... it was a little too bad i had to kick it in with a couple of temper outbursts... as well as with my sis'... it was a little horrible.. but nevertheless fun!

had home made bread for breakfast - had three slices! then it was fish and co... ate rice.. then went to lagoon at east coast for good stingray, satay bee hoon and beef noodles!

i know i'm back to gorging... but so what?
