hey one and all! it's been an awesome week, if i do say so myself :)
sure there've been low points, but im being greatly cheered up by today's company and well, some other things im not at liberty to say.
on Tuesday i almost died cause my paper mural sculpture was sucky, to say the least. it's a HUGE understatement and once again i really wanna thank Jolene, Yumita, Pearlyn, Elizabeth and everyone who helped me! esp Jolene, omg she's a lifesaver. never again will i repeat what i did (or rather didnt) do.
but after school the day took a turn for the better when Sam, Seph, Pearlyn & i went to the nearby malls for some retail therapy.
gosh, did we walk the entire place or what!
it was so tiring but we had some good jap food and i got my brows done, so yay for me and yay for sam who got her tops.
and on wednesday!
was super excited cause i was to meet Minshan after 856029570925days.
HAH okay i exaggerate but it's been an awful long time indeed.
class crawled by at a snail's pace, and everyone was in CNY mood alr, esp since we didnt hv class for the next two days, so we were all like :D
and aft class i dashed off to Bugis where MS and i proceeded to trawl the entire Haji Lane for CNY clothes.
we found a total of none.
yes, unbelievable i know. hah! it was good fun though i wasnt feeling so hot myself that day. the weather more than made up for the hotness -.- okay bad joke, my bad.
i was supposed to meet Pearl & Sam aft tht but it was cancelled and since im SUCH an awesome friend i walked Minshan all the way from Bugis to the Flyer. yep that's far. i had on some comfy shoes :)
she did treat me to coffee. kinda. she paid for the most of it :)
needless to say after all that walking i was dead beat but somehow managed to drag my a$$ over to J8 to meet Mum and get some products.... i think i like passed out that night, i was so tired.
Thursday was even better.
because honey, i finally managed to find some clothes for CNY! it didnt come easy though, i walked a long way....
so i went to meet Pearlyn & Sammy at Marina Sq and they showed me this cute restaurant which serves kickin' fish (it is GOOD.) and then we went accessory shopping inside. i got nothing.
but we left soon after for Taka, where we hit Art Friend. i got nothing.
we then walked down to Far East where Pearlyn got her bag, and i considered one, but got nothing.
and then we bus-ed down to 313, where Sam got a necklace, and i wanted this ring, but they didnt hv one that wasnt damaged so i got nothing. we were gonna meet Seph there but it was pretty late alr (7 plus) and we still had one more stop to go, so we cldnt meet her in the end.
so we bus-ed down to dhoby ghaut and i hit Cotton On w a vengence and LO AND BEHOLD, i FINALLY FINALLY found that cardigan i'd been searching for!!! yeah baby! Life is good. hurhur.
proceeded to buy loads of basics and that cardi. yay.
we were all real tired after that so we split for home, and for the second time in two days straight i went to the flyer to take a bus home.
i just adore long bus rides. calms me down beyond belief.
and so we come to Friday.
ah, friday.
i couldnt get outta the house til after two thirty, which made me late to meet Meifeng already, but she was real nice about it as usual. (:
i got there and she presented me with....A HANDMADE KNITTED CABLE STITCH BEANIE/HAT! yeah i cant really decide what kinda hat it is, but it is helluva cute! :D
THANK YOU MF. i told her i wanted one like almost two years ago and she remembers and now makes one for me. AWWWW i feel loved.
okay pictures will be up when i next blog.
and she made me a pretty card too. i showed them both to my cousin Jasmine and my niece Rachel and they both marvelled at how the hat looked store-bought and the card printed, when both were handmade.
Meifeng shd be in design school, not me :)
i told MF abt this guy i was half in love with and well...i've kinda been obsessing over certain details....
Honey, he aint exactly the best speaker, his english leaves much to be determined....but he is very cute, text me if you wanna see yeah Meifeng!
and erm, you may have been right about his age....depressing, but appealing in a very strange way. gosh, i am hopeless huh.
let me just get this out.
HE IS SO CUTE. I LOVE HIS SMILE. BUT I HATE HIS SOMETIMES SMARMY EXPRESSION. AND OMG I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT SMARMY IS, BUT THE WORD FITS.
okay enough.
i got a floral skirt!!! yes im floral print crazy these days, this is the second floral print item in two days.
so in the evening i headed over to Aunt Angela's where the family was having our annual reunion dinner :)
Mum was really late, and i was real early, which is rare for me, but hey, new year, new beginnings right? ;)
it was crazy weird. tht's all i gotta say.
all through the night i kept feeling like i didnt belong, which isnt all that strange for me seeing as well...yeah. but tonight i had this specific thought that i was too old to be considered one of the kids (or so i felt. hell, im pushing 19. can ya believe that? im 18, im old, hello.) but way too young to be counted a full-fledged adult. the adult closest to my age was like, 30? and she's my generation. yes. it is a strange feeling.
so all night when someone said "kids!" i never knew whether to respond or not. and i had no common topic to discuss, and even my thinking was different. i just felt...different. i didnt understand why they didnt get the things i did. and i was real quiet the whole night...
that's gotta change.
im so tired of being the quiet, reserved kid with the low self-esteem in the background. and there's a lotta work to do, but somehow....i will change.
see, if you know me, the real me, you'll know QUIET isnt a word i represent. and that's just it, why am i not showing the real me? why am i holding back? i deserve to be heard. i do.
okay guys, what a long post, i didnt mean for this to happen, but it's just been such a busy week :)
time for bed y'all, thanks for sticking with me. watch this space!
