2. a nice nice treat at My Humble House... been wanting to go there for ages but think pocket always too empty to go in...
3. another treat at Equinox... been wanting to go there for the past 2 years but always nvr go... [i won't mind eating lunch buffet at Goodwood Park's Coffee Lounge this year...]
   
4. cash voucher from any shops... even takashimaya or robinsons oso can... but no NTUC though... would highly prefer tophop or mango or takashimaya... [would highly prefer cash angpow cos need to buy a new cam cos my ixus II died...]

Projects... Exams... Birthdays...

this is the period when everyone i know is super duper busy... even lele and EnEn are super busy... lele busy making a mess in my house and EnEn busy learning walking around the whole house... haiz haiz... but think only the youngsters like the jc1 kids or the sec 3 and younger kids are super free...

library in school is packed... think that's typical when exam periods are near... everyone is busy mugging for the exams... but me... i'm still busy with projects and term papers... not that i'm lazy and leave everything to the last minute... but i just got the projects and term papers last thursday... haiz... busy busy... do not even have exam mood... only project mood...

think lately i have an overdose of Li Shang Yin's poetry due to my Chinese literature project... been reading up too much on poems... tang poems that is... haiz... feel very poetic lately... haha... too much on the syntax, diction, versification, imagery and allusions used... maybe one fine day i could write my own poems....

oso had an overdose with the wastewater treatment plant thingy for a tannery... this one much worse as i can still dream abt it... but this module made me wanna be a vegetarian... esp the lecture on the slaughterhouse... the lecturer said he went to the slaughterhouse before to "witness" the process... he said he thinks that the pigs know they are going to be killed and will actually weep... he actually allude it to the Jews in the Nazi camp... haiz... made me emotionally traumatised...

in the midst of all these projects and term papers... i realised that my birthday is actually coming real soon... which means that vinc's exam is going to start real soon... with my 1st paper another 11 days away from my b'day... that's fast... haiz... birthday is good as i can be queen for a day at least... two days after mine will be tax's and 5 days after mine is jj's... 16 days later will be regina's... think november is a month when most ppl i noe celebrate their birthday... think december oso quite alot... haha...

Random stuff...

haven been blogging for a very long time... finally found time to come back here to blog... been wanting to blog but has been procrastinating... haha...

as usual... read the freewill astrology for scorpio last week and found the 1st sentence to be very interesting...

Scorpio Horoscope for week of October 13, 2005

To an optimist, the glass is half-full. A pessimist says the glass is half-empty. But in the eyes of an engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. For the foreseeable future, Scorpio, it makes perfect sense for you to think like an engineer. Resist all temptations to be either an optimist or a pessimist. Purge any reflex you have to indulge in hope or fear. Instead, maintain a neutral, objective attitude as you try to see things exactly as they are, then make a calm, reasonable response.

haha... i'm trained to be an engineer and so... should always think that the glass is too big... so, do u think that the glass if half full or half empty? and according to mudpie... as a businessman... even if the glass is totally full... there's always room for more...

MUST BUY the Singapore Woman's Weekly this month... got a booklet for one for one dining at nice nice posh posh restaurants... though there's no equinox this year... but they have the nice nice thai food Patara Fine Thai Cuisine... and the Coffee Lounge at Goodwood Park... must buy and go... can save a lot...

me went to the Legends at Fort Canning Park for their one-for-one saturday tunch buffet... to me its not really nice compared to Straits Cafe at Hotel Rendezvous and the Plaza Market Café raffles city...

well well... life is still busy but i'm enjoying life as it is... something that i find meaningful in an email i read:

"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

think it is important to learn from life's lesson and be a happy person... no one can make u happy if u r bent on making urself unhappy... embrace life as it is... even though life can be hectic... but one can always derive happiness from whatever they are doing... growing up is by choice... not a by-product of growing old...
