i've been there and back;

1. On clothes from Marks & Spencer.

Sophie:

I'm in a relationship with it.

It's made of Indian Silk, that's why it costs $50 bucks.

And it has a touch me sticker on it.

And its oh so soft.

2. On bags from online shops.
Siqi:
(leans over 2 people)
Eh what is the address of that online shop where this bag came from?
(points to bag)
Oh it's okay i remembered already.
(later on during lunch)
Eh yesterday I bought a bag! It was 50% off from the Island Shop.

3. On shoes from cheap places.
Charlene:
(ages ago)
Eh I need to buy shoes. All my shoes aren't pretty.
(today)
Eh I can't buy shoes anymore, I'm broke.

Lets do some mental winnowing.

1. I could finally stream Bones today (: && in a double episode whammy too.
2. Talking to Caleb is always good stuff (:
3. Worship today in service was, much needed. Thank you Father.
4. I do not exist for you to a) poke fun at b) insult when necessary c) make cutting comments about my friends / image / whatever you deem fit. But its okay, sucking it up in progress.
5. I saw this AWESOME black knit pants at m)phosis (: beams to self. It is very nice, and can feed my meals at NUS for a week. sigh.
6. Sometimes I wonder why can't we progress past meaningless conversation and mindless chatter and ask the questions that really matter ? After church today, we went to eat && walk around. Had a HTHT (heart to heart talk) at MOS burger with Jansen && Siqi. Such are the good times.
7. I find myself becoming more averse to, small talk. Especially when I'm tired.
8. Sent CHARLENE THE BAO THE BESTFRIEND off yesterday! miss her x 10 x 100 already.
9. There has been this INFLUX of Aedes mosquitoes in my room. All bloodsuckers the lot of them. I think they are Aedes Aegypti. Mega sian && fail because I fail miserably in killing them. Hence feet = stung.
10. Tomorrow marks the start of a full day wasted doing visitations. On the brighter side, there are always my friends, Ba Kwa && Prawn Rolls. Not forgetting sidedish friends like, Kueh Bangket && Pineapple Tarts.

Now only if friends could be classified into Friends, Sidedish Friends, and Not Friends. I know you classify your friends, and that is starting to discourage me much more than you know.

Course of action ? Bring it to the Lord, bring everything to the Lord and lay it at His feet and let Him do the work.

And my heart found a home again.

Meet my christmas tree at home, without ornaments put on it yet. I really really love my christmas tree cos its super oldschool and nice. And it flakes silver tree like stalk leaves. ANYWAY the point is that yesterday we went christmas shopping! :)
We are trying to navigate our way from Outram Park MRT to Tan Boon Liat Towers. Twas a ardous journey, plus it started to drizzle along the way.

on finding the TBL towers, which was supposedly near some duck rice place:
TGN: "Where is that Duck Rice place you were talking about?"
(May Anne points to a bare patch of grass where the temporary food centre was) "There."
TGN:"Oh. So the ducks ate the weed and it became duckweed ahurhur"

We opened the doors to SKS (which incidentally has a No Solicting sign on it. Then I pointed it out to TGN, who was holding the door for me & who didn't see it & thought I was purposely making him hold the door longer & who went ' HURRY UP LAH. Think I hold door for you free one ah?' Kids these days.)
And then we saw this book, to which we cracked some joke that involved Abby and learning how to positively love the negative abby-s in your life. MMM.
So, we finally finished, with Siqi deciding on her first love Tozer book, Jansen spending 80 dollars of his 200 dollars budget, May Anne buying 2 books (and squealing when she met Lydia and her very cute brother. I just realised yesterday who James really is, omg.) and me with my books + cards.

It is good, it is good.
Spot the flash of red in the background, I'm not sure who it was, but someone thought it was KFC. Fact: it was actually Avis: car rental. :)
Right around this time Siqi and I decided to march along the road towards Great World City. And then Jansen joined in. And it was good, it was good. And I shall not upload said video :)
Then we decided we needed to sit down, so we brought the little kids to Toastbox. And ate very nice toast but the highlight was when TGN pointed to the towering mass of butter and said: 'How come here got ice-cream?'
HMMM.

And so we galloped down the slope to the bus stop after buying stuff at M&S, and headed to Jansen's house for BBQ.
We had the best chicken wings EVER. I am still drooling at the thought of the honey chicken wings. And hence I will have to run to shed the calories, especially in the light of the parties that are coming up! (insert random anxious thought about impending exams and lack of time to study. okay done.)
And then we invented the action of the year. Seriously, it is that funny. :)
And then we had the soundbite of the year, I think it emerged from TGN's lips.
And then we met Abby's and Charbao's version 1.3, who is just too cute. And her steth's blue!

I think I shall write my cards now, and send them out. Then err, try to study and go and run.
Man, I can't wait for the Ham and Turkey and Spaghetti later. :)

got salt?

its been great with you guys :) 

Love, me. 

On a book rampage

After sunday lunch at Il Piccolo, we trooped to Bedok Community Library; where I swooped on 7 books. 

2 Nora Roberts, 1 Terry Pratchett, 1 Barbara Bradford, 1 Tami Hoag, 2 Michael Cox. 

Congratulations to me, nicely done.

Siqi's Russian Concubine is my the car's boot because she didn't want it to surface at her swimwear party. 

This week's the 2nd week of the December holidays, and with my days filling up fast, it only means 1 thing: time to study!

I will be at got salt? camp tomorrow through saturday. :)
