haha!

woke up in his house and debated whether i should go to town. it was about 8am in the morning, and i really wanted to go to town early in the morning when nobody is there!

but i know, if i go from his place, i would reach real early. stores wouldn't have open yet! so, i called up a list of friends, hoping some kind soul would accompany me in town! AHAHHAHAHAA! all never pick up my calls!!!

i'm the only early bird in Singapore, i swear! hahahahaha!

so i went to town alone, and really had a lot of fun!!!

i went to Takashimaya first, and it was very quiet. the aircon wasn't switched on yet, and it was stuffy and smelly!!! HAHAHAHA!

i took the lift up to the 4th floor because i wanted to withdraw money and deposit a cheque, and in the lift, the aircon was just starting, and it had the worst smell ever!!! a damp smell! GAWDDDD!! and i don't know why the lift climbed up sooooo slowly! i was holding my breath all along and was about to die!!!!!

hahahahaha!

after withdrawing the money, it was only 9.30am!

so i sat down on the bench (no need to look for empty benches, there are plenty!), and started to scribble into my diary. i was really enjoying my time alone. hahaha! i'm so self-entertaining!!! messages started to arrive in my phone! haha! 

"i just woke up. what's up?"

"you called me?"

and other messages of a similar nature.

it was really nice to know that after i told some of my friends that i was in orchard alone, they did offer to come and join me. HAHAHA! my friends are so nice! but i was already out of boredom, and i wanted to walk anywhere i wanted by myself!

10am, and Kinokuniya opened!!!

mad happy! went to Kinokuniya and checked out some new books. bought Popteen!
 

this picture looks lame and inappropriate with the effects. effects are not done by me!! i just want to show you i bought Popteen. HAHAHA! and yes, it's Kumicky again!


picture reduced to smaller size so as to minimise your chances of puking. i was imitating Kumicky. That is Popteen this month in Japan! haha! (ya i bought 2 Popteens. 1 Chinese and 1 Japanese. hahaha! couldn't resist!)
 

after that, i went to buy a hairdryer.

FINALLY!!! i got myself a decent hairdryer!

i was kindly asked what i wanted for my previous birthday by a really considerate friend, and i had said a hairdryer. and in the end, i got a hair styling set!!! HAHAHA! so i became an owner of 2 hairstyling sets, and the funny thing was, i received a hairstyling set from the same group of friends some years ago!

so 2 hairstyling sets and still no hairdryer!

must be a sign!

so i got one for myself finally! super happy!


after this happiness, something suddenly raged inside me!!!

MUST BUY THINGS! MUST SPEND MONEY!

hahahaha!

mad.

no la.

i had actually written a list of things i had to buy that day, so i wasn't being impulsive. but because it's been such a long time since i've done any decent shopping in Singapore, i felt strangely excited!

next on my list was Home Wear.

i have decided to buy comfortable and pretty Home Wear, so that i can feel pretty even at home! i don't want to wear nonsense Lucify tshirts at home anymore. all my home tees are really worn out actually. i want to look pretty so that when someone arrives at my door suddenly, i can face them confidently. HAHAHA!

whatever.

ahhaha!

also, one way to lose weight, is to be conscious of how your body looks.

so with nice Home Wear of shorts and camisoles and comfortable tees, i can really note how my body looks. hehe!

i went to Cotton On where there was a sale. Buy the 2nd piece at half price off!! that's awesome!

i saw some really cute underwear and bought them! and bought 2 tees that was only 5dollars a piece! :D

i took pictures of my cute underwear, but i haven't uploaded them, so i will show you the picture next time!

as for the tee...it's a really basic tee...and this is me in my tee!
 

taken from his iPhone. i  look weird. it's so mad difficult to take self-portraits with an iPhone!
 

and after buying from Cotton On, he finally had finished work!!!!

we went to ION Orchard, where i was searching for Wacoal! need some new lingerie for the new year! :)
 

super happy! he bought 2 pieces of lingerie for me! so happy!!!!! and i got a free set of panties!!! so lucky!!!
 

after that, we went to Uniqlo and he bought a set of Disney Homewear for me!!!!
 

this is $19.90 and it has a camisole, a boxer pants, a scrunchie, and a little underwear pouch!!! oh so cute!!!!

we went for lunch at ION Orchard! hehe!
 

WOOO!!!
 

i love Katsu-Don and that is Special Katsu-Don with an egg on top of the Pork Katsu from Ginza Bairin!!!

eh it's mad delicious!

both of us shared this one bowl, because we are both on a diet! hehe! i love my boyfriend!!! he actually does not need to diet, but i think he's just supporting me in my dieting plans! I'M SO HAPPY!!! hahaha!


after that, we went to Isetan. there was a Hokkaido Fair there, and we bought a melon bun!

the bun has the fragrance of the Japanese melon and the filling is cream cheese!!! it's so yummy!!! we shared the bun! :D
 

I'M SO HAPPY!!!!
 

at home, i tried out all the lingerie for my mother to see and she said i looked very lovely in all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was really very happy!!!

i think i look nice in them too! and if only my tummy can disappear!!! and my legs can be longer and slimmer! then i would look like those gravure idols who you always see in those photobooks! HAHAHAHA!

oh well.

i'm getting a little bit hungry. i shall go shower now, get ready to meet dearie. we are going to Ikea today! and then we can have an early dinner maybe! ^^ i love mealtimes! hahaha!

hey there!

what i'm supposed to do now is, go to dearie's house and figure out the sewing machine.

but what i am doing now is, sitting in front of my computer and pretty much staring into space.

my mind is kind of blank. i'm trying not to think about a four-letter-word, that starts with 'F', and ends with 'D' with 2 'O's' in between.

HAHAHA!

just finished doing my daily sets of exercises. always feel super accomplished after those.


the first 2 weeks i tried out my new healthy lifestyle plan, everything worked out PERFECT!

i only ate when i was hungry. and i exercised regularly.

and now, i'm actually into Week 3 only, and it's crazy, but i'm back to my bad habits of snacking.

got to stop!

i still stay within the calories intake i set for myself. but i've went back to snacking on my favourite breads and cookies. *smacks forehead*

that's so naughty!!!



ok i'll stop boring everyone with my calorie-counting yawn-story.

the other day, my brother received the results that he got into Ngee Ann Poly's Arts Business Management Course through JPSAE, and both of us were thrilled!!

his O level results weren't so impressive, and he set his eyes on that particular course. so the previous night before his JPSAE application, i assisted him in filling up all the blanks in the form that basically was telling him to show off himself and tell them why he deserved to be in that course.

he got an interview after that, and also passed through that one.

my mother and i just knew he could do it!

WAHAHAHA!

now HE'S the pride of our family. not me anymore. which is kind of a relief. i was nothing much to start with. i just knew well how the system worked. you can be really good in exams but good at nothing in real life. and that's me.

i think i'm very lucky in studies because i just happen to love reading. and all my textbooks and notes, i just treat them as storybooks and read them all with a passion. HAHAHAHA! (unfortunately, this method of reading with a passion doesn't really work well with maths.)

 

*high fives myself*

YAY I'VE DONE IT!

i got my butt off the chair and exercised!!!

even though i was reluctant at first.

VERY GOOD! :D



i've been reading a lot lately.

and not just reading silently.

when i'm at home alone, i read out loud.

and i also watch any shows with English spoken in it. (Correction: any show with English in it, except Singapore-made ones.)



it's sooo important to speak properly. and i want to speak proper standard English. because it makes so much difference to be understood. and to a certain degree, if your spoken English is good, people perceive you as being more intelligent. HAHAHAHA!

i'm not about to change myself into a Banana (yellow-skinned, meaning, Chinese, but white inside).

i want to be excellent in all the languages i know.

which includes writing and speaking.

good is just not good enough?

hey...i don't know when is it that i have adopted Virgo traits. i'm starting to become a perfectionist in all that i do. and i think that's not bad at all! 

i find being focused on what i want not so difficult anymore!

so, anyway, every morning before work, i practise speaking English.

i have never recognise the importance of speaking good English until i started teaching jobs. it's too embarrassing to supposedly be a role model, and having my English so badly spoken.

whenever i don't know what else to say, or can't describe something, or can't pronouce what i want to describe, i just say, "and you know, stuff."

yes, i use the word "stuff".

gawd.

hahahaah!

i only realised how lame that was when i have students having sincerely confused expressions on their faces.

my spoken English really do suck.

i do not have much chance to speak English in the environment i was brought up in.

if you speak perfect English, you are most likely to be condemned.

even now, when i attempt to speak English, my boyfriend would ask me to shut up.

i try my best not to adopt any accent, but it's hard! how can you speak English without any accent at all???

tsk. i think it's impossible.

anyway, i feel like i'm talking to myself. (which i am.)

whatever the case, i'm going to practise my spoken English everyday so that i can speak confidently to anyone next time!! :)

i always pronounced 'grocery' as 'graw-sir-ry'. HAHAHAHA! and it was only the other day that i learnt from M that it is 'grow-sir-ry'.

More words i used to mispronounce:

- stupid (stew-pid. not stoo-pid.)
- poem (po-erm. not po-yerm.)
- poet (po-ert. not po-yert.)
 

and many more...

i just cannot recall any right now.

i want to speak all my languages accurately and fluently as a form of respect to the origin country.

good luck to me. and i'm going to sleep now!

5am tomorrow. gawwddd....

I LOVE MY JOB!

hahaha!
