r a n d o m << s c r i b b l i n g s >>: Ages since i blogged!

yes, it feels like ages since i last blogged. oh well, there's not much to say anyway, life has resumed it's boring normality...

the ridiculously huge toy is invading my bed space! i'd hafta kick it off my bed in order to sleep!

but it's darn cute, no? love it's ridiculously big round head cause it looks like me! :)

anyway, vday was spent at my lil' nephew 1mth baby shower! Lil' benjamin is sooo tiny, i haven't seen such a tiny baby since....well, my sis was born. lolx. i love babies, their innocence and fragility and the way they resemble their parents. it's amazing and beyond comprehension how something so complex can come out of a mother's womb.

i would love to have a tiny infant that looks like me but i'm too self-centred and scared of giving birth that i don't think i ever want a child. So i'd just have to make do with playing with other people's chldren or..... kidnapping them.

i've gone off topic yet again. ahem, where was i? oh yar, baby shower. my cousin catered buffet for us and the food was yummy. i kept hogging the bubor cha cha, which i usually avoid cause i don't like coconut milk, but it was really good. Then there were the typical ang ku kuehs and red eggs that people have during baby showers...i wonder what's the meaning behind it? good fortune?? because i kinda relate red to fortune....like cai shen ye (god of fortune) who wears red and ang baos and red underwears??

and we and the other relatives watched "12 lotus" together. It's the local movie directed by royston tan. it's pretty good for a 99% hokkien show, i found myself actually liking the hokkien songs! *horrors* i thought it was a pretty good show depicting the tragic life of Ah Hua and the temporary presence of men in her life. everyone else thought otherwise. they were complaining that it was too boring but i like movies that are slow and realistic, there doesn't have to be a climax. I just felt that the whole story was well pieced together and the 12 chapters of Ah Hua's tragic life was well narrated.

i guess i just like boring shows.

And guess what?! I just dyed my hair black!! omg. it's so black, i can hardly stand it, i haven't had black hair since sec2?? it feels so darn weird, i'm practically killing myself not to run to the nearest watson store to buy some DIY dye to dye it back. Initially, i wanted to add white highlights but they wanted to charge me a crazy 260+bucks. HELLO??!! i could go on vacation with that money!

but the service was good though, the hair stylist even better. lolx. a good-looker and quite a charmer too. it was money well spent. he helped to style our hair even after the cut so we walked out looking like tai tai with our well coiffed hair. but still...i want back my brown hair! oh gosh, i hope i last at least a week with my newly black hair.

-------------------
just had my mcq test today. i was sooooo on the verge of taking mc today, i was practically practising how to fake a headache instead of studying! in the end, i was sooo distracted, thinking about ways to fake illness that i didn't even finish studying and yet after soooo much thought going into "the art of feigning illness", i couldn't bring myself to lie to the doctor so i literally dragged myself to school for the dreaded test. i've had friends getting 1/10 for the paper and i've hrd horror stories abt it so i was really dreading it. and the worst part was that the prof. hinted to us to take mc as well!!

and the result? it was hard. but not a killer. so thank God i went and stopped being an escapist. i would hav felt even worse if i knew i could manage the paper and yet i didn't go for it so yay! a pat on my back! and Praise the Lord!

after which, i went to meet lilian for a congratulatory meal! haha, nah, just a small dinner and dessert. JI DE CHI in JP has quite a good range of desserts! i'm gonna hog that store whenever i go JP next time! i have such a sweet tooth!

yay! RECESS WEEK is coming in a few days time!!! HOLIDAY!!!! YESH!!! EVERYONE HOLLER!
