i love Candice Swanepoel to bits!

Happy Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year everyone!

Time to make resolutions!

Since i can't stick to resolutions very well, (yes i finally snapped out of self-denial)

I picked a quote that will or might inspire me on for the rest of the year, or sort of act as a reminder. Here: " Never leave that till tomorrow, which you can do today!" -Benjamin Franklin.

It just popped in my mind yesterday night 3am-ish that i don't have many best friends.
Friends that i used to think are my "best-est", aren't really.
But what makes a friend my best friend?
Since she/he is the best, I will only need one don't I?
As absurd as how i could open a sealed envelope faster using my fingers, than a letter opener, I Google-d this "How to find out who your best friends are."

Here's how from Wikihow . . .

1: Don't ignore your gut feeling. Do you usually feel manipulated by your friend? Do you usually have a bad feeling when they come and talk to you? Do you just feel like they aren't putting in enough effort?

2.Ask them if they can go with you on errands. If he/she says yes but afterwards refuses, you know that one's a goner.

3.Ask them if they could stay with you after school. If they say yes, but then say he/she has other plans, you know they probably don't want to be with you.

4.Call him/her to talk at night. If they talk for a while, but then say he/she has to go without a reasonable explanation (or makes up a "reasonable explanation" every time), they're probably not a true friend.

5.Notice if you're always the one starting conversations. If your "friend" doesn't email or call you like they used to, they're probably not your best friend anymore. Make sure there isn't anything wrong in their life that may cause them to isolate. Be open, and ask if anything is wrong; friendship is not a one way street.

6.If they call you behind your back they aren't a best friend any more. Just tell them whats best... Don't let them do it.

i figured now, that my best friend is .... my dearest mum.
Hahahaha, i so love Wikihow.

The music in my iphone sounds soooo good,
cos i haven been hearing these songs for a long time!
Last time i heard it was the period i had been preparing for exams?

Nice.

Happy holidays to all earthlings!

This holiday is all/mostly about:

helping mum with her work in

1.
DATA ENTRY
DATA ENTRY
DATA ENTRY

My eyes are going @_@ whirlyyy..

I swear and swear to myself i'll never apply for an office job, ever!

2. SPRING CCCLLLEAANING

Back's breaking,
finger's dislocating,
I swear i love our house to be clean, but if this is all the hardwork i need to do,
Oh wells, i think i might retract my words . . .

Still, i love my holidays.
Once again, happy holidays everyone!

x,
ET

I love TYN!

This is my mischievous sister 2 years ago,


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And this is her, now :)

Turned nine days ago, but still mischievous as ever!

At times i wished she'd bug me lesser.

At times i told her to shoo, to leave me alone.

At times i chuck the origami crafts she'd make for me aside, cos there're too many!

At times i so wanna strangle her for stealing my stationaries, sweets..etc.

At times i scold her when she's reluctant to share her fav things with anyone.

But all of these times, i know i love her to bits, and i wouldn't trade anything to have her out of my life:)

Random thoughts floating in my mind...

#What do i really like doing, why don't I have a particular goal in life?

#Immerse myself with a solid good experience from exchange and graduate a semester later, or skip the opportunity and grad on time.

#I am wasting too much time on my macbkpro. Ughh..the long spanning webs of the internet caught me!

Tuning to:

The only exception, Paramore

Maybe i know, somewhere deep in my soul

that love never lasts

and we've got to find other ways

to make it alone

or keep a straight face.

And I've always lived like this

keeping a comfortable, distance.

And up until now

I'd sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was worth the risk, but darlin

you, are, the only exception

Just back from a friend's 21st bday party/sleepover that made me awfully exhausted!

Not because i didnt get to sleep at all, but because the sleep isnt enough and good.

How and why:

-The room's air-conditioner is definitely working hard to freeze my head into some icy-pop! It was bbrrrrrr...too cold! I'd rather sleep in a stuffy room and sweat then shiver myself to sleep.

-Selfish of me or not, i 'don't quite' like sharing a bed. BAHHH..Who am i kidding! I NEVER like sharing a bed. Not to mention SINGLE BED. UGHHH...Just squeeze me into that blending machine already. The thought of the lack of space, sharing a pillow, sharing a blanket, not being able to toss and turn around w/o disturbing the poor soul beside you, it puts me off, puts my sleep off. THIS CLAUSTROPHOBIC FEEL. But since it's with the birthday girl, and there're lack of mattresses, i figured, alright then. See that's why i need a good nap right now!

DISCIPLINE, the ten letter word that's so hard to practice.

School's going fine.

No homework to do at the mo.

Facebooked. (2nd time of the week, that's it!)

Going Starbucks now. COFFEE!

Laters.

Sticklist

i made a random to-stick-to list while traveling from home to my tutee's place.

Here goes:

-deactivate FB/ set limitation, say twice a week or only when i'm tagged. (Yea..Obsession is my profession.)

-strong discipline and determination to finish up my tutorials without delay.

(Notice the word "strong".)

-Read e-books on my itouch whenever i'm on the move.

- Start some savings! My bank is well, depleting dry of cash.

(Yeah, i'm very VERY poooor. Always been, but will not be, if i start saving!!)

-Stick to my to-stick-to list.

That's it. Simple as it is, but hard to keep to it. Oh no, how can i be so determined to fail this time, again. L.L

:(

I miss my poly classmates.

The most recent time i've seen them was on christmas eve, LAST YEAR!

And they're going Malaysia this sat, but i cant, cos my mum's not giving me my passport! :(

And they're so not nice to switch for an outing in Singapore instead. :(:(:(

UPSETTING.

i love my sperry top-siders!

Though it's giving me blisters. BAHH!

Youth Olympic Volunteer

I have been a very lousy blogger.

BUT, this is my space, so who cares:D

What's going on in my life right now? Well....I'm a volunteer in the Youth Olympic Games (YOG)!

Awesome isn't it? How many people get to be involved in smth that means so so significant to Singapore? A once in a lifetime event!! Yea, i know some friends think i'm nuts, contributing effort in smth that i'm not paid for. Haha! As long as it's fulfilling to oneself, who cares whether u're paid? But of course, even if u like sweeping your house floor, doesn't mean u go around people's houses with a broom and work your magic! Anyhoos, the Visa debit card the YOG organisation had given us finally worked! It took quite sometime to be activated! I have been paying with my own bloody, sweatily hard earned money for my transportation! Suppose there's a glitch in LTA system? Bahh...

And ya..The Visa works like an EZ-link card too, that provides me unlimited bus rides and 4 train rides per day. Now, this is the ups of being a volunteer. A concession like such costs about $95? Oh wells. . .

little yellow flowers

i love the freshness, sweet yet not diabetic-ally sweet, quenching floral taste of Chrysanthemum Tea! Ultimately pure chrysanthemum flowers soaked in hot boiling water in my little Bodum coffee/tea presser.

A cup a day, keeps my parched throat away! :D

Transitions of thoughts with age

It's bemusing how one's thought and views changes as he or she matures.

I used to hate it when people smoke, and if they're my friends, I'll keep reminding them to smoke less and encourage them to quit.

But now, as much as i dislike people to smoke, I sort of understand how hard it is to quit, with the cold withdrawal symptoms and stuff...Not that i have been through it or sorts..haha! But i don't detest smokers as much as i did, younger!
