The Law of Happiness.

oh mans. i am such a greedy girl. today i felt really bad that i shopped a lot. excessively. my mum said that she couldn't buy anything today because both my brother and i spent so much today. how sad. okay. tmr onwards i shan't buy anything. i want to promise myself this. who am i to spend all the money away? it's not mine to use. mary! wake up! you are not a princess, but a girl who still has not know how to value money yet. so ashamed of myself for always buying stuffs that i want, not need. sorry mummy and daddy.

shouted at dad today over the phone. why? cause he was so naggy. and i was also not in the best of moods at that time, plus he kept on pushing the buttons (about clearing the stuffs from his IBM), that i just raised my voice. thinking about it now, it's really nothing. he's older anyhow. that's how parents are. naggy. i should just tolerate it. well, apparently i got lots to learn still. first, to control my mood accordingly to circumstance. act in the best of other people's interest instead of my own. well well.

today i collected my new passport from indo embassy. ate nasi campur that i love. then realised that we were supposed to come in the evening, not afternoon, for the collection. so we left to somerset 313 instead and check out the shops there. found lots of interesting products in the Action City store. i just feel like buying the whole shop right there and then. what a cool shop! great place for buying souvenirs there. bought my third nail polish from FaceShop- shiny blue. within 4 days. i know right. i have some serious problem i need to dig into i see now. argh! changing the topic, the nasi padang from FoodRepublic on lvl5 was excellent! the best nasi padang so far in singapore i say. you guys should try it there too sometime if you have the time. worth a try. well then after that, we went to robinsons, supermarket. saw the rabbit from the pet shop. how i wish i have a pet! that would be awesome!

stopped by Kinokuniya store today and happened to pick up one of Andrew Matthews books, Be Happy. i found something interesting about happiness. a question addressed whether it is selfish to be happy. the answer is simple, according to the author. no. being happy is not at all selfish. whereas, being unhappy is selfish. so people, be happy! when we're unhappy, we tend to focus all attention on yourself. but with a light heart, you shall bring happiness to others. well, why i find it interesting is that these past few days, i find that my life is getting quite tiresome. i don't understand really why. hmm. when i felt that way, i tend to shut myself up and i know that it's unhealthy. but after reading it, i begin to think about my behaviour and think of ways to change it. well, i am still learning and finding my way in this world. the more i think, the more i see myself as a little girl still. with no principle and no priorities in life. how can i improve on myself? the least i will do is to pray. that's all i could think of for the time being...

tmr gonna see my guardian, finally. it's been ages since i last see her and the people who i live with in the past in the house. like poul, michael etc. she gave us duck meat, pork meat sometime back and we haven't really thank her properly for that. i bet her daughter anwen has already grown so much bigger.

no pictures for the day.

i can't understand that thick English accent in the movie. bleah.

slept at 3am yesterday? uploading the photos on facebook and blogger sure requires lots of patience. believe me, i have a lot of those "i can't take this anymore" thoughts while uploading. especially when facebook screws up and the little white box says "Upload failed. Please try again." well how many times must i try? hello? i've already waited for like 3 hours???

so then i woke up today reluctantly, out of bed. church. lunch @Rendezvous. yumm~ home. golf-ed. (we had in total 250 balls and 4 people altogether.) home again. yishun to eat the super delicious nasi briyani there. watched Sherlock Holmes after that. and who agrees that it suck? i do. so not worth watching. well, i guess if you want to kill time then it's fine. but if you want something worth it, i bet watching It's Complicated or Did You Hear About The Morgans will be much better. yawned so many times during the early part of the movie. i took some pictures, one with my brother i so rarely have a photo taken with. well, we seldom hang out.




tmr gonna collect passport from indo embassy. there's a chance to eat the nasi campur over there. haha.

i'm gonna get my sleep now. tata.

best of both worlds.

yesterday finally meet up with the girls. it was a moment of catching up with lots of stories told. heart warming. yet refreshing at the same time cause we haven't seen each other since 6 months ago? like yy, she has started to work since her jc is over. my has some bgr prob, as usual. (LOL) jl blissed with her bf, which we all envy...
first, met my. then jl @tpy. ate Swensens. the pastas jl chose were delicious. and we got a 1-for-1 promotion offer, which was wonderful. after that, both me and jl went to orchd. i shopped while she showed me the dress that her friend wanted to buy. she kept on sms-ing her friend while i tried on the clothes. then jl showed me the super scary escalator that i dared not take. lucky i did not cause it started raining cats and dogs. or else we might slipped and... oh my. then i had to buy this 7-11 umbrella to shelter both of us to cineleisure from central. it cost only $6.60. met xueli outside cineleisure with her friends and one girl actually came up to me and said HEY. she looked so familiar, yet i couldn't seem to remember her name! when i asked her name, she became quite disappointed. then i remembered that it's sthg qi. when i probed somemore, she wouldn't tell me so i asked xl and turned out she's shu qi from anderson primary school, from pris class. lol. how am i supposed to remember?!? it's been what?!? 7 years-9 years? well, it was good that she can remember me. hehe. so we watched Alvin & Chipmunks 2 @cineleisure and it was definitely funny! =D i love theodore and elanore! so cuteee like balls!

after the movie, met the rest of the girls @lucky plaza. i recommended all of us to eat at Ayam Penyet Ria. surprisingly all of us can eat chilli and the response from them is all positive after the meal. duh. who ever hates that resto?! after we finished our meal, we took pictures and lots of it! i hope they upload them asap. hehe. so far only me and my did. but not jl. lastly, we strolled around ion and jl bought a checkered bag for her friend, from the very shop that i bought my canvas bag from. asa! i love that shop. on the way back i took mrt. it's been a long long time since i last took one. all the while, it's been our own private car. it feels weird actually. like you don't have privacy, if you want to like camwhore etc. can be a little bit limiting. anyway, it's good that there's the girls there to make me feel home even with so many people surrounding us.










today, was supposed to go out with the girls again. but mum asked me to go Jurong Bird Park with her and my sis. so i had to turn down my friends. feel really bad. but if i have to choose between family and friends, sorry to say, but honestly i will go for family. not that i don't value my friends but i value my family more. fair enough? i think most of my close friends understand that well already for now. so please don't hate me for being this way. =(

well, i thought that the bird place was the same old boring attraction ground. but i was dead wrong. i truly enjoyed myself today! so much! we were so so close to the birds...like i took pictures holding the parrots on a wooden stick and the photo was inserted into a snowglobe and it came out truly amazing! <3

stopped by the finest Australian cafe for a sandwich. then we got to experience our own feeding the birds moment. we were in a free-flight aviary. so basically around us lots of parrots were perching on the wood, random people's shoulder (so friendly!) and on our cups! but we had to be careful though not to smack right into a flying bird, because obviously some bird just don't get that we're still not used to being around them. they flapped their wings so mightily around us. i was shocked quite a number of times by them taking flight, like within a second. arghhh! we get to feed the birds the pollen juice that we bought for $3 in a cup! we took turns holding the cup for photo-taking. i will never ever forget the birds jumping onto the edge of the cup i was holding and licking into it. it was totally heartwarming. whenever i pulled the cup away, it used its beak to draw it back closer again. aww. but somehow, my arm developed some rashes after that. i have no idea where that came from. (i am well now.) and that was our last activity of the day because my lil sister got tuition at 7. but given the little time that we spent at the park, it was so fulfilling. (= lots of memories and photos taken! thanks mum for bringing us there today!!! <3

Facebook for pictures that will sure tempt you to play @Jurong Bird Park! (=

played Texas Hold'em Poker with my two brothers and lil sis (after her tuition) earlier on. lost twice and won once. terrible. i hate losing sometimes.

tmr will be watching Sherlock Holmes w/ my two brothers over @Yishun GV. booked the tix so we're ready to go after church! hope that it's better than what i expected.

having a wisdom tooth suck!

yesterday, golf-ed at Sin Min avenue with mum and bro. it started to rain whenever we approached the area. even when we're eating at novena @ the super delicious chicken rice stall, the rain started pouring, lightly then cats and dogs later. when we returned to the golf area, it drizzled somemore. i bet the clouds were chasing after us that day! it seemed to be! well despite all the rain and humidity, we had fun most importantly. i hope we can return there again soon, but have to wait for my dear thumbs to heal first from all the friction. i kinda forced myself to hit those 50 balls really fast and non-stop. bubbles appeared that night after gym-ed.

today woke up early. collected my IC @ MOM. then did passport renewal @ indo embassy. after that, went to kinokuniya taka to exchange the dvd that's faulty and then to my dental appointment regarding my wisdom tooth. actually the whole day my mind was filled with the thought of wisdom tooth surgery. heard that it's painful. so i asked the doctor whether it's true.

turned out the surgery has lots of side effects. scariest of all is that my face will definitely swell for 3 days max after the surgery. noooooo... that's super scary. plus it will be painful around the area as well. the doctor talked about stitches and drilling and the thought of it made my heart freeze. how can i possibly go through all of that? i told him all my worries and he said that for my case (looking at the xray film), that it should be no big problem. actually there's no risk involved. because the wisdom tooth is far away from some nerves along my jaw. so it is not something that needs worrying. i was honestly very relieved to hear that. but should i do the surgery then? should i not? HOW??? i asked mum for advice and she encouraged me to do it. called my dad and he said that he had it done before and it's not painful. so i should do it right? =( well, dr lim said that if i don't act fast and leave the teeth there, food particles might accumulate in between the neighbouring teeth and cause tooth decay and that will be a major problem and lots of pain for sure. i guess i have no choice now, have i?

after that, mum and i walked around ion and taka while eric had his haircut. i finally bought the tank top that i've been wanting from mango. turned out it only cost $60 plus. not $99. but still expensive. mum said i have to take care of it really really well. no machine washing, just rinse in warm water and dry. also i bought taiwan hand-painted sneakers. it's really cute! =D then bought watches. necklaces that's super sweet. tees. and plastic earrings. (i am quite sensitive to the metal ones, i may develop headaches wearing them for too long.) happy day mostly, apart from the wisdom tooth consultation. really ruined my day!

my plan for tomorrow? gonna go to Duke NUS to collect some samples of MCAT books. then go meet up with my friends from secondary! been long time since we seen each other! quite excited honestly. have they changed? i hope they have, for the better that is. (=

well, gonna go watch my korean drama "my fair lady" now. then have a beauty sleep. tml morning swim maybe 5 laps? haha. that's exercising enough for me. LOL well, let's see how tomorrow goes...

HAVE TO LEARN INDEPENDENCE SOON!

Sentosa trip '10!

yesterday was much fun. although tiring.

mum, erica, vani, nadya, albert and i went sentosa for some fun. and we did found it quite easily. it's really hard not to have fun in there. even for me, i've been there lots and lots of times to that place (that the sound of sentosa is sick to my ears and i'm not bragging, just stating the fact), it's really hard not to have fun there. few laughs. some excitement. first, it's probably due to the sight of the crowd. it's so fun sometimes having had to rush for the line to get tickets, like to the 4D show. or hearing children laugh. but on the other hand, it's a real pain in the a** having to queue for like an hour and then realise that the ride only takes 5 minutes. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!

anyway, sentosa changed a lot since the last time i've been there. like 2 years ago maybe. the cable car is under renovation so we had to take the sentosa express mrt-like transportation system. it was freaking crowded with lots of people from all over the world. but most of all, there are the indonesians and indians. sentosa was swarming with lots of us. i bet a tenth of singapore housing is already accommodated by indonesians and indians. sorry, fellow singaporeans. i dun mean to say that indonesians and indians have similar taste, no no, they're so very different i have to say. but judging from yesterday's overall crowd, the first place goes to indians. second place goes to indons. hey, why am i ranking them in the first place? sorry, my bad. lame.

another change about sentosa is that i saw the construction that they're making, perhaps, for the casino? and also i saw some Universal Studio-like globe within the construction areas, along with Disneyland castles (but not as gigantic as those in Disneylands) and huge rollercoaster tracks. i am kinda excited to look forward to visiting sentosa again. but maybe in two years time? til then, i hope that it's all ready!

the best ride yesterday i would say is the Segway Fun Ride. the best of the best, for sure!!! (=
ok. the picture showed me stressing. but that's just the beginning people. i didn't know that it's so much fun after getting used riding on it. i saw the staffs do a drift with it! so cool! (=

gonna upload more pictures on Facebook. so stay tune!!!

we head home at around 10pm. so so tired. rested immediately after i got home.






today early in the morning, some drama happened in the house (i shall not name anyone for privacy). well there's church @ bethany. then ayam penyet for lunch. after that, we went to plaza singapura. bought hello kitty mechanical pencil and automated pencil plus really cute ez-link card sticker. (i hope to use it in melbourne for the ez-link thingy as well, cause melbourne transportation is taken over by singapore company so we'll be using ez-link type of system too over there. LOL.) caught Avatar finally. omg. the movie is serious fun! like it? love it! but i'm quite disappointed to see all the human beings killed. the main character is quite a betrayer, come to think of it. i dun know. i just think that he should just remain being a human being instead of becoming that monster forever. but it's understandable that he would want to remain as the monster because he got no legs in real life. oh wells. who would not die for a pair of legs if they haven't got one and those really cool monsters that they fly around with?!? come on!!!

ate frog porridge for dinner then home sweet home~

tomorrow school begins again for most schools. aww~ as for me, i get to still enjoy my holiday as much as i want to! huahaha.

Gone with the Old. Welcome to the New!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010, EVERYONE!

whew. a year has passed and a new year has begun. i still can't believe it. it just feels like yesterday. no difference at all. i still feel like the same old me a year ago or two years ago. hmm. but that's a negative assumption on my part i guess, of course i do have changes. positive or negative, i am sure that i am being mold into a better person. i just know it.

watch the fireworks on tv yesterday. but it's the same old fireworks every year. nothing new or special. i feel unimpressed. anyway who am i to criticise. i am just an ordinary person who is not contributing whatsoever to this society. maybe shopping-wise, i did have a small contribution but apart from that, i have less and less faith about myself. bad huh?

yesterday after the new year celebration at a hotel, we saw my sister and her friends passed us by. it was a pretty shocking coincidence. little did we expect that they would be there. i wondered what they could possibly be doing there in that little unknown and insignificant mall. my sis friend was so haughty. she could have at least said hi to us or something. it's not as if she hasn't seen us before? maybe she's just simply too young to understand simple, basic courtesy to elders.

after that for dinner, we ate at Tony Romas. i had half-slab ribs like i wanted. corn soup plus potato skin for side dishes. yumm. it was satisfying indeed.

actually planned to go to Marina Bay to watch the fireworks but felt kinda lazy. so stayed at home instead and watched it on tv with my cousins. but i didn't regret not going because i'm sure it's damn packed there and we might get stuck in traffic for another hour? HALLELUJAH LORD!

today while everybody in the house went out, except for my maid, i stayed at home. watched korean drama. watched Primetime- this comedy show my cousin introduced me. this girl named JengKellin is similar to MsSwan from MadTV. it's freaking hilarious. really made my whole afternoon and evening time when i watched it with my maid.

tomorrow they're going Sentosa. supposed to be just now, but there's been change of plans i think. i don't know whether i should follow or not. hmm.

alright, gonna play Monopoly with them soon. like now.

xoxo,

ps. i need to work on my new year 2010 resolution list asap!
