So my birthday week has arrived at my utmost delight!

Didn't quite strike me that it was upcoming till I attended Janice's party
last saturday. And today I had a surprise cake after geog lesson. Gave quite an
adverse reaction because I was truly shocked but thanks peeps for the lovely
surprise!!!!!!! : ) I'm really touched by the effort. : ) Sometimes I wish we were all in the same class then I won't have 'lonely' syndrome. Haha.

Well I guess it can only mean that things WILL get better as the week
progresses. Or at least that's what I'd like to psyche myself up for. I'm trying
towork out a proper plan to get everything done in the most efficient way but
as of always something does crop up BUT thank lord for no assignment
deadlines next week. And also I'm really grateful for really helpful
family members who have helped inthe prep for this Saturday. : )
Everything's falling into place! Nothing big, but just a little something I planned.

Full packed day tmr. Am gonna trod to Tampines at 7 sodding am to see the doctor again (hopefully for the last last time) then head back to nie for classes before going out for a nice poshy dinner with Jason : ) His birthday falls 4 days before mine. In this week itself there are 4 birthdays! So here are the shoutouts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANYA BOBO!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!!!!!

Hope you guys have a fab fab fab birthday and may you be happy always : )

Whoooops easy peasy time!

This semester feels really different. Almost 2 weeks into school and I feel
the strain of assignments pouring in but at the same time I'm enjoying the
tutorial classes very much. The tutors take such a different approach and
from the normal sitting down and dreamy state I used to be in, now I find
myself laughing at the jokes inserted here and there and participatnig in some
sort of activity. : )) At least school's not so much of a bore anymore!

Anyway I wanna give a shout-out to Anne, Mimi, Grace and Yansy!!!! If you guys
still read my blog that is, because I really really really enjoyed myself last night. 3 hours sitting at New York New york just zipped by and before I could
even get a hold of my hysterically laughing self, it was time to say our goodbyes.
Many lame jokes and funny brain teasers were exchanged. I was given the task of
identifying many patterns of which I only managed to get one rather quickly. Haha
dense is my middle name sia. But the food at that upbeat cafe was fab! And they
gave us such a cosy little booth we were suddenly struck with the idea of creating
an alike one in our own homes next time. hahaha

Looking forward to seeing you girls next sat yeah!! Speaking of which, I have a
zillion things to see to.

Gotta run!

A scare in the morning sent me flying to the doctors just to get an ease of mind.
It didn't help that mum was scaring me further with kidney failure possiblities
but yes I have truly learnt my lesson NEVER to EVER hold my pee again.

Thank God it wasn't anything serious. I was praying so hard outside the doctor's
door. I was so knackered by the end of yesterday that I thought I'd fall into
a deep dlumber the moment I hit the pillows and my trusty bolster.
Sad to say, it was the worst night ever! I woke up a million times to pee and
had chills so practically I was up most of the night.

Had a good rest at home and drank loads of water before heading out for some dinner.

School woes are settling in. SIGH. But first and foremost, let me just heal myself
back to the pink of health.

I'm so glad things are back to normal now. After that near game-over last week,
I was left high and dry but sometimes I think meeting up is the best remedy after
all.

The weekend has been a blast. : ) So based on the weekend itself I have bounced
back up from the brink of a little depression to being a happy bird once more.

I'm ready to face 830 mornings. Bring on the new week!

Aps, I hope things will iron out soon. Can't offer much help but well, tmr will
always be a better day : ))

Silent still of the morning
As I lie in bed thinking of those words
My heart still stinging with much hurt.
I wonder if you meant it
And what I would do if you did.

As much as I've tried to stop my eyes from swelling at the very thought.
It's tough.

Mini road trip to Malacca....

WAS LOADS OF FUN!!!!!

I enjoyed myself entirely. : ) We left yesterday afternoon and arrived
just in time to chill out a little before heading out for our long
awaited Satay Chulup meal. Satay Chulup refers to many different types
of meat and tofu and what-nots stuck into skewers then we chuck it all
into this middle bowl of boiling satay sauce and when it's cooked just
whip it out and right into your mouth!!! Quite a Malacca tradition I think?
Cos I haven't seen it anywhere else..

Anyway following that we went for some SUPERB chendol!!!!!! Along Jonker street
and it was seriously divine. It's the Gula Melaka that makes it tastes soo
heavenly. And our late night eat-out didn't stop there. After scouring
Jonker street for some souveniers and earrings (They're damn funky!!)
we headed out for a durian search and were nicely rewarded with some small
but good durians.

The next day brought us to the oh-so-famous Nancy's kitchen. Peranakan food
at its best I would say. We left with some kueh kueh to bring home haha...
Yup and before I knew it it was time to head home..

But during the trip I received an early bday present from my Godma!!
So now I have a spanking new Esprit watch. : ))) Am so happy they'll
be coming down on my birthday to celebrate with me.. Appreciate it loads.

Weekend trips are fun!!

The weather was perfect for a swim today. But I was bummed out and
rather breathless after the 20 laps. Gotta blame it on my having
slacked off on exercise ever since the return from hk. Nonetheless it
felt good to be splashing around in the pool again. The only thing that
makes me think twice is the toilets. I wonder if they ever get cleaned
because it is the residence of a gazillion flies and I feel all itchy
when taking a shower. Therefore normally I exit within 5 minutes with
my hair dripping wet and clotehs rather wet cos I can't bear to stay
in there any longer. Yucks.

Watched "The lake house" just now and it was rather touching. Aside
from the smelly feet that I had to endure throughout the movie, it was
a good one. : )

Thought for the day: Sometimes words and actions are said and done with
regret which comes along as an after-effect. I blame myself for not being
agressive enough at times and as a result I feel discounted. But on the
other hand sometimes words and actions fly out too fast for me to stop
and think if it's right and it results in unhappiness. So i wonder when I
will ever achieve a balance. But I suppose we learn things as time goes by.

Am gonna try and wake up early tomorrow to get some stuff settled before
heading out for a full day.

Good nighty!
