Buy my clothes!
Credits: =assica
I’m trying to sell some of my clothes. Most of them (95%) are brand new. Selling them because they don’t fit.
Please click on the links at the right hand side of my blog to buy my clothes, under ‘Look Over Here!‘. It will be updated consistently as I have quite a few pieces to let go.
Help me to clear my wardrobe and please help me to tell your friends about it too! In all honesty, prices are extremely reasonable. Promise, it wouldn’t burn a hole in your pocket. Thank you so much people! Loves! Happy shopping!
Ho Ho Ho!
Is it me or did Christmas come early this year? Shopping centres, Starbucks and Orchard Road are all lit up and Christmas is more than a month away. I’m not complaining though, I love Christmas. :)
Had an amazing make-up cg meeting today. Felt reassured by God on whatever that has been happening in 2009 and i’m looking forward to 2010. It’s quite amazing how in less than 2 months, it’s a brand new year. Time is really flying pass.
In some randomness, you’ll never know what good might come out by just keeping on. Keep perservering, even when all odds seem to be against you. :)
Anyway, Happy Birthday my dearest sister! Hope u had the greatest and best-est celebration yet! Faster find a husband okay! Haha. Love you loads! :)
World that never stops
The past few weeks felt like a whirlwind. Been rushing from one dateline to another dateline, churning out 2000-4000 word reports. I am more than glad to say that I submitted my final report for the semester. It did, however, come at a price. I was out doing my report with Nicole and Cindy and we only reached home at about 6 this morning. Got a quick rest and headed back to school to do up some final touches and attend lecture. What’s more, I ended the day by walking home in the rain. Perfect.
It’s quite a wonder that i’m still awake and in the right and by that, I mean sane or the fact that my brain is still working, state of mind, typing this. Actually, I quite doubt my previous sentence, I do not think that I am in any good condition to be talking right now. So, if I don’t make sense, well, deal with it. Haha. I’m probably heading straight to bed after dinner. Speaking of which, I hope Wati cooked something nice tonight. I just realized I haven’t had dinner at home for so long. :( Moy actually said that she thinks I saw her much more the past few weeks than I see Jon. In fact, even my own family. I miss home! Okay, the loner in me is surfacing again.
It may seem like I can finally take a breather. In fact, I was rather thrilled the first 5 seconds of submitting my paper. But the rememberance of the fact this is already week 12 and examinations are in 2 weeks drowned every single bit of joy I felt. Strangely though, I’m really excited to just start mugging for my papers. I think I know the reason why. I kinda miss doing things on my own and I guess, mugging allows me to be alone? Haha. If I am making any sense at all. You must remember that i’m typing and talking with no sleep at all last night. Projects are great and getting to know Moy more, especially, has been wonderful. But, being the person (anti-social) that I am, all that interaction and stuff has been rather draining on me. I just want to hole myself up in my own room and not talk to anyone for at least a day. I have totally maxed out my need to socialize and be in solidarity with the rest of society for the entire month. I have run out of energy to be socially desirable and to constantly manage my actions and words to not be in conflict with the world values and norms. Sociology is getting to me.
Being able to blog now is in fact, rather therapeutic for me, at this moment. Suddenly, I feel that I have time to think of my own thoughts and not constantly be thinking of research problematic after research problematic at the back of my mind. It’s time to get down to business. Clean the room, do filing and fill up my new organiser. I have this obssessive need to be neat and extremely organized before I can start studying. It’s really the only time I’m neat.
Getting my much needed rest to battle with the world again tomorrow. :)
Melancholic
Today was a really friendly day, weather wise. It was breezy, windy and cooling with no rain (except for morning). It’s a perfect day to just stay at home and simply let time pass you by. If only the weather can be like that everyday.
Yet, it got me feeling a little melancholic. I believe it has to do with the genre of music I was listening to. Sappy love songs.
Hopefully, i’ll be happier tomorrow. :)
Monday Blues
I’m officially suffering from Monday Blues. I need help to get out of this rut. I guess it helps that I am both physically and mentally exhausted from writing my report. It does not give you the energy to feel depressed anymore.
I’m really thankful for awesome project members like Claudia and Moy. Understanding, smart, kind, loving, fun and people who will work late with you through the night to finish up the work. They don’t claim credit, are not selfish and believes in the work of everyone. They are honestly, God-sent. I have NEVER had so much fun on my field trip before. Really grateful and thankful. :)
Am also very thankful for a nice boyfriend like B who comes and send me home from school in the late hours of the night without a single word of complain and within 5 minutes from when I texted him. A total life-saver. :))
Anyway, was just having after-thoughts after a conversation with B yesterday. One that I continued dwelling on when I reach home. How often does one buys gift for another? Or spend money on another? I strongly believe in the notion of ’where your treasure is, there your heart will be’. It is also for this reason that I like to buy gifts for people around me and I actually spend a lot more on people that I love rather than on myself. In fact, I think I can be rather stingy on myself, except for when food is involved. Haha.
If you spend all your money on yourself, only buying things for yourself, does it make you a selfish person? One who simply loves himself/herself more than he/she can ever love anybody else?
It is ALWAYS better to give than to receive. The next time you decide to buy something extravagant for yourself, think for a moment if that money can otherwise be better else spent on someone else.
Make somebody other than yourself happy today, for a change.
Okay, time to sleep in preparation for my presentation tomorrow. Also, another day of writing reports! I need a break!
Wear your chocolate and Eat it

This is why we need a Chocolate Fair in Singapore!!!!!! But the chocolate will probably melt in the hot weather before we even get to see it on the runway.
On a different note, i’m currently drowned in endless literature reviews and 3000 word reports, not forgetting my presentations. Can’t wait for my last submission. Actually, i’m not looking forward to it either. Since that will mean more readings, texbooks and examinations. Why did You ever have to create an institution that fries every single brain cell that we have over mundane and sometimes useless information God?
Something to be happy about though, got back 2/3 of my mid-term tests results and they both turned out to be surprisingly good. I thought I was going to fail one of them, imagine the panic on my face when I realised I still have half the paper to go with only 15 minutes left, but it turns out that I actually scored above the average by a few marks. God is really good. All those lateless nights have proved themselves to be of good use (this was the first time I really studied and cared about my tests since entering uni). And of course, I prayed like crazy before my paper. Haha.
Tick tock, tick tock…

I realised that people have a tendency to make this statement, “is the world willing to wait for me?”
Well, my dear friends, the world, waits for no one. People move on even if you don’t. Time passes flies even when you’re not doing anything or simply brushing your teeth. The world continues spinning even while you’re asleep. Day comes and day goes. 24 hours a day, that’s what you have and that’s what I have.
This is the very sad truth. To a certain extent, it helps me to understand what Bourdieu, Marx and Illich are talking about. The reproduction of the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). The disadvantaged (people who have lesser capital – Social, Economic, Culture, Symbolic) are constantly playing a game of ‘catching-up’ with the rest of the world. This happens when the rest of the world, is, at the same time, improving themselves too. It’s a never ending vicious cycle. No wonder MM Lee said that there will always be a social divide. It seems almost impossible to eradicate. I guess the issue is on how we can minimize that divide rather than to entirely remove it.
How nice it would be if everybody were to be TRULY given an equal chance and opportunity for success and access to resources. I’m not talking about pseudo-meritocracy or democracy here. But, for that to happen, it takes every single one of us to stop being so self-absorbed, insecured and start being selfless for a change. Now, what are the chances that will ever happen?
My answer: The second coming of Jesus :)
Say it isn’t so
My brother and sister-in-law brought their daughter out for a haircut. This is the story of what happened.
Before. When little baby Amanda was still cute and happy, not forgetting hairy.
The ordeal the parents decided to put her through.
BOTAK AMANDA!!! Who looks, scarily, EXACTLY like my brother. Oh the horror!
