Sorry ah, to all the guys. This entry's pretty much about all things girly. Hee.
Anyway, people who have been out (window-)shopping with me should already know I'm seriously quite a cheapo/miser/poor/niaogui at heart. If I do find something I like, like this Fox pullover, I'll mull over the price for a few weeks until they finally don't have my size anymore. and there, problem solved. :(
Well, part of it is because my family aint the richest around, and also, that first part led to my very very modest allowance (I don't wanna say its pathetic, cause I know there're students out there who have to work part-time cause they've got zero allowance) and gradually I developed this innate reluctance to part with any money I had.
SO. after a long hiatus from contributing to the economy (if you think I'm going to start talking about Lehmann and all, you don't know me very well. haha), I finally SPENT some cash on non-food and non-schoolrelated items! :))
NM3220 Project (don't ever take research modules unless its a do-or-die choice, in my case it's do-and-die. nice.) was driving me and my project mates crazy. Went to Westmall for dinner with Chun and bought THREE bottles of nail polish on impulse, like fifteen minutes before the entire mall closed for the day. I'm starting to realise I am most willing to spend when I'm with people I hardly shop with. That's $8.70! almost my entire day's allowance can! (go do the math)
And thus, I put them to good use. Hello, I don't go spending $8 on some frivolous items for nothing k. I spent some quality time during my family gathering painting my aunt's and my nails. Inhaled enough toxic fumes in those few hours, to put me off nail-painting for a while.
I actually photoshopped the following photo. Siao liao. considering how much schoolwork staring at me in the face.

And today, my mom got me two tops from Pepperplus. NEW CLOTHES!
I was really beaming carrying that shopping bag around, with my two precious tops in there! Checkered tops too, I've always wanted to own one. Yayyy, can finally stop wearing my pink love/hate shirt so often already. Heh hehh.
Darn, photoshop jammed on me. noooooooooo.

reading this girl's blog http://www.wretch.cc/blog/meltsinangie/, made me feel rather melancholic, and this rush to write in Chinese!! Melancholy cause I used to write and speak a whole lot of Chinese/Mandarin (darn, do i have to be so accurate all the timeeee) in River Valley.
And so the mad and rather confusing surfing around to try and get some free online software so that I can write in Chinese! But, nahh. I downloaded this silly penguin's Chi software, which started showing a lot of not unlike Webdings characters in textboxes, and I was tryin to guess at which button I was supposed to press. and finally I gave up, after the boy urged me to. (the web address didn't seem too secure) SIGH.
I think I'm writing a bit funny right now, cause all that reading of those Chinese entries has got me kinda thinking in Chi too. (like how I used to in sec sch!! at least i think so. hmmm)
Anyway, about the previous entry, I'm uber (allow me one act-cute word k) grateful for all those who tagged. :)) You guys have changed my mind about making my blog private, and I think I shall be writing more for quite some time. :)
Now that FM98.7 is blasting from the speakers, the English songs are starting to ebb away at any of those Chinese urges. SIGHHH. I'm starting to get what was written in Singapore Society notes, about the fact that Singaporean Chinese are the most deculturalised of the other races in the nation. It's quite true hur. and you know, that IS the official reason why SAP schools like RV were started?!?! it was to preserve the Chinese culture in Singapore.
No wonder we had to croon (and croak) the patriotic Chinese poem-schoolsong every morning. :)

I don't mean to sound all whiny, but i don't like that tiny (bigger if i'm already feeling insecure) deflating feeling when i keep going to the 'beautyoflanguaguge' button, and there's no new tags. It totally doesn't spurred me on to blog, coz there is still this self-exhibitionist streak in me.
Honestly, I don't blog for myself, more coz i want my friends/people interested, to be updated (and i wanna put some use to the photos i take) about what's been going on. but if there's no feedback, there's no point. It takes an awfully long time to post up those photos, and why would i keep spending precious time on that if nobody's even looking at them.
urgh. maybe i should make this a private blog. hmm.

hello. my former angsty post actually made me feel a tad guilty, cause he's afterall my father. And he's been a good dad, even if he is a bit cocky at times. So.
Anyway, tonnes of photos I wanna share.
At the Fish&Co glasshouse, after yet ANOTHER hell week (hello, its hell semester in fact, damn)
erm, sorry for the photo diarrhoea ahead, especially of me and the boy. HEE.
fantastically chewy GRILLED (good choice boy! hee) calamarie starters. Rarely do we order appetisers, but because there's a 1for1 fish&chips promo, thus we splurge. a bit.
(i suspect i'm using a lot of conjunctions wrongly here)
ahem. we went bonkers. i even tickled myself at the pits to get myself to laugh, which set off loud guffaws from the cameraboy. hahah.
Dedication letter to the band in the house!
haha. paiseh, promise this is the second and last part of the we-are-siao series.
Remember i said i was going crazy thinking about clay ideas when i'm supposed to be studying? I gave in to those tempting colourful balls and tadah! my little egg princess with lovey eyes. haha. colours chosen to match the daiso pencilcase which it'll be hanging from.
A few weeks back, when I was still recovering from fever and
had to pack homecooked macaroni as dinner.
nevermind my half squint expression, my darling looks so happy here! :)
the boy can't wink. hahhaha. and we're imitating the expressions on the
snackbags, if you can't tell. the bubblegum shake flavoured one is pretty icky though,
and it's still in my kitchen till now.
FINITO.
damn, better get started on my 3220 assignments. ASSIGNMENTS LEH, siao one, plural form. one week got TWO. SIAOO BO. I never keep to my self-assigned objectives. bah.

i don't know how my mom takes it.
all of those self-absorbed comments, all of those snide digs at her singing. hello, i don't care if you sing well or what, your attitude truly sucks sometimes.
quit being such a snotty ass at karaoke, stop all that should-i-join-a-competition musing, quit giving her singing lessons and putting her down while complimenting yourself. fuck, what shit person says things like, 'oh, this song is really hard, with all the twists in pitch. if you sing ah, sure all over the place one.' and looking smug cause you think you've totally mastered the song.
seriously, shut up. god.
and mom, stop humbling yourself and fluffing his ego just because he's your husband.
