A Free Girl to Be...

Jun 30th marks so many things to me.

End of my 1st 24hour fast which ended 6am this morning but I only had my first meal in the last 29 hours at 10.30 am today.
3rd anniversary of my water baptism when I was born again.
most important, the day when I end my vow. By the grace of God I finally managed to pull through to the finishing line of this race.

Met up with Suet, Grace and Val for lunch today. Went to this modern European restaurant called "Six & Seven" in Marina Square. Great atmosphere there. There are many new restaurants there. Great place. Nice food there. Cheap too. Set lunch only $8.90.

Celebrate my end of vow? Not so... Grace asked how it felt to end my vow. O well... Din feel anything. It's just another day. No special feeling I guess. In actual fact, I dunno how I felt. When Grace asked me so how the both of us are, I told her those few incidental meetings we had. She advised me that we should not continue on like that. Why should I take the initiative? I'm a girl after all. Shall let God decide.

After lunch we went shopping. Many new shops there. O well a compulsive shopaholic like me.. I only buy when I want to, and when I need to. So bought a bag this particular shop and 7 tees from Esprit today.

Well when I went out with Siyin and Clarabelle yesterday, Bel kept blaming me for causing her to splurge. Hello? For all ur very info, I din force her to shop or anything. But both Siyin and Belle said I'm a splurging factor cos everytime go out with me, they'll surely splurge. HELLO? How often do we meet lo? The last time we met was last year during Chinese New Year and they came my house then after that we went JP Body Shop and they started splurging there cos I got the VIP card. They said they splurge bcos of all my membership cards but then again, they din use any of my membership cards yesterday. I somemore kept advising them to stop splurging. I din even spent a single cent ytd when I went out. Only today lo.

After shopping today, had to rush to pick Shawn from school. Was late for 3 mins and he was waiting for me in the general office. Sorry la. Then after piano lesson today, went for dinner with Uncle Allan's family and my parents cos today uncle Allan got his new MPV, Nissan Presage and we all took a ride in it. So comfy and big..

Home after dinner. So wat a day to end my vow. My biggie... But a free girl now.

How I really felt? I think I wanna pray for a miracle and a fairy tale but will that happen? I dunno. Do I miss him? I dunno. But I'm really glad that I was able to end this race by the grace of God although I fell along the way and was hurt badly. But once again, I'm made whole then so be it. I love God, I love Jesus, and I love myself. Life is full of love.

O but one saddening news I heard today from Val, that my 1st 3 mths classmate in JC jumped off a building and committed suicide bcos of BGR. Though wasnt really close to her in my years in JC but still felt weird after hearing that news that someone I knew died. Life can be fragile.

Say Cheez

Today before cg, we played the photo-hunting game "Say Cheez". Cg was divided into 2 teams, headed by Sheena and me. Shiyi, Terence, Jeremy, Gabriel and Jarred were on my team. We start at abt 1.20pm and had about 30 mins to go around Terence's neighbourhood to search for people who fit the theme of the photos which we were to take.

When the game started, everybody ran around the estate like lunatics, searching for targets. My team ran around Terence's estate and Sun Plaza and managed to take 5 out of 7 pictures in less than 20 mins. Then as we were running back to Terence's block from Sun Plaza, we met up with Sheena's team as they were going towards Sun Plaza.

Competition got more intensed when we took our 2nd last photo, cos we saw Sheena's team running back to the playground where teams were supposed to take the last photo of the whole team. Ah........ Denial hit me when Guanzheng came blocking me. Argh.... Wanted to charge over me like a bull. Hahaha... But I din. So in the end, Sheena's team took the picture 1st and they finished 1st. But....but....but....Sheena wasn't in the picture. It's supposed to be a photo of the whole group. So.. we presumed that their pic wont be accepted, so we happily strolled our way back to Terence's house. Haha....

my team

Upon the tabulation of score, my team scored full marks. Sheena's team... o well... not all their pics got full marks, but bcos they came back 1st, they got a bonus of 10 points... But..but..but... then again, cos Naresh and Guanzheng were both on her team and they were late for cg today, so Xiaowei deducted 10 points from them. Whahahaha..... So....My team won by 2 points. Hahaha....

The losing team had to do a cheezy pose for us to take pictures. Whaha...

Cheezy?

After cg meeting, we had a time of fellowship with cheesecakes and pandan cake, and not forgetting cheese snacks which Sheena bought from Japan.. What a cheezy day... Hahaha...

Car & Emotions Crashing Day

Ahh... was woken up super early by Mom. Why? Cos daddy's handphone died on him this morning. Completely couldn't switch on or charge. Arghh.... Because of that I think I lost 15-20 mins of my beauty sleep...

Then went for driving at noon. Hai.. Din have any breakfast or lunch cos I rushed out of home, having to find the warranty card to daddy's hp. Argh... Din have dinner last nite, no breakfast or lunch. Argh.... was super hungry lo. Still gotta rush to apply for my PDL (Provisional Driving License).

Today's driving lesson was a completely disaster. Learnt to steer left and right in the circuit. Argh..... It was disasterous. Had so many car crashes onto the humps and krebs. And cant seem to brake properly. Always braking so hard. Ahhhhh..........

Then my instructor kept complaining, "See? Your car is crooked...Where are u looking at? Must see far." Fine so I tried to adjust the car and look far, but the moment I looked far, my car slanted to the side and vice versa.

Then my instructor was playing with the air con in the car, switching on to full blast and blowing at my eyes. Denial.... I was wearing contacts and it made my eyes super duper dry.

Spent the entire lesson of 100 mins driving rounds in the circuit. Was totally demoralised by my instructor. Actually I was expecting to cover 3 subjects today, but only managed to cover one and wasted my time to apply PDL today. Hai.... Was in a completely drenched mood today.

Was half-dead when I left the driving centre after the advance theory practice. Went to Causeway point to fix dad's hp and decided to go Burger King to lunch, which was at abt 4pm. So bursting full after eating the meal. Yet after the meal I still dun feel happy.

Then went to teach Shawn piano with low mood. Hai... so sian....

The Stayover and Makan Sutra in the East

Yoyo... have been so bz that I haven had time for my friends and family. It's has been so long since I last saw my bestie Suetie. Already half a year liao. The last time we were together was 2 Jan. So long... Not solely my fault cos last time this stupid girl fly my kite when the rest celebrated my birthday. We supposed to meet long ago but I bz and she moved house.

She moved from the west-Clementi to the east-Katong... Diong sounds far... But ok la... cos Singapore so small mah... I went to stay over and her place last nite. Had dinner at her place. Her mom cooked for me specially. Like I always said, Mama Ho loves me more than Suetie... Naninanibooboo.......

Her place quite nice, but small la, but condo is like that one la.. But the one thing I hate about her place is that there's an Indian Temple opposite her house. The chanting sound was driving me nuts during dinner. Siao liao... Having to live with it is torturing....

After dinner, her mom wanted to cut fruits for me but Suet din wanna eat fruits so she told her mom dun want, then of course I paiseh to say yes mah... I very shy one wo.... And Suet is completely disgusting. That time she still said she started to do housework and wash dishes since she moved house. Hello..... What a big fat lie.... I'm the guest lo, and yet she only wanted to wash her rice plate only, dumping her soup bowl and my plate and bowl for me to wash. HELLO...... I'M THE GUEST....... Her mom immediately took my dishes to wash and said "Aiya Xueming never do housework one la. Dun listen to her." Yaya... cos her house got the dry and wet kitchens where both each got a sink, but they only supposed to wash dishes in the wet kitchen sink. But stupid Suet went to wash her plate in the dry kitchen... Hahahaha....

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

After which we went to take a walk in the vicinity. Hello... I seemed to know the place better than Suet lo. Aiya also cos I always go to Katong and Upper East Coast to makan mah... We walked down from her place to Upper East Coast Road.. Walked down my eateries which I always go with my family. Then we explored the area. Wanted to walk to East Coast Park, but we dun seem to be able to find the underpass to ECP so we stopped at the fitness corner in a nearby housing estate. So we went on the spacewalker and started chatting. Not long later, we decided to walk back home to catch the 9pm drama. Hah...

When we reached home, Mama Ho just finished eating durians. Ha.. wanted to buy her some earlier on when we were strolling down Upper East Coast Road, but Suet said her dad bought a huge basket the nite before. Haha.. So as we were watching the drama, I was eating durian... What an enjoyment....

After the drama, it was around 10pm liao. Then we went for a swim in the tiny swimming pool in her condo. Wo.... the water was so cold. Tried teaching Suet how to float, but she dun seems to be able to float... Argh... what's with her... so high density... Had some spiritual talk in the the pool. Suet, must grow strong k...

After shower, I had to do my work while we were watching tv. While Suet is such a pig. It was ald 12 plus midnight, she said she was hungry. Had 2 bowls of soup and a quarter of a cheesecake. I only had a small tiny mini bite of it lo. So sinfully to eat so much at such late hour.

We chatted into the wee hours. Slept at 3.30am. I was woken up by an sms on my hp at 9.40am, finding no one in the room. So I went round the house to find Suet. But there was no one at home. As I was about to give up my search, I found Suet sleeping in her brother's room. Reason: she said she couldn't sleep the whole nite cos it was too cold in her room. Ha.. cos I used to sleeping in aircon room liao, but Suet cant slp in aircon room.

Left her place at around 11am and embarked on our makan journey in the east. We kicked off with a bowl of laska at the corner of the street near her house. Katong laska No. 49.. Sa dup... Yummy... After which we hopped onto bus 14 to Bedok to eat and eat again...

2nd stop: Bedok North St 1 Blk 216, Bedok North Food Centre @ 12pm..
We had the famous Chai Chee Ba Chor Mee (Mince meat noodle). Ah... it's so good. No wonder so famous... And we also had Nasi Lemak.. It's only so-so. We ordered it out of a herd mentality cos we saw many pple eating it and there was a long quene in front of the stall. Only the chicken wing is nice la..

3rd stop: Bedok North St 1 Blk 207, Bedok Central Food Centre @1pm.
This makan centre is just next to the bus interchange. Been there a couple of times le, but had something different this time. We had to eat fried prawn hokkien mee, but we saw many pple eating this stall selling fried kway teow, so we went on with the herd mentality. The stall is "928". So simple stall name with super good food. Yummy... We also had the special fried beancurd from this chicken rice stall which Claris ordered her chicken rice from last time. So-so only. We ordered it cos Suet wanted. I wanted to eat glutinous rice balls but Suet dun eat them. Hai... Shall go eat it with someone else in future.

Last stop: McDonald's. 1.40pm

Ordered a medium cup of ice tea. Wanted a large one but Suet dun want. Fine... Chat and chat and crap...

Had so much fun with Suet. We arranged to go Teaspa next thur on the day I end my vow. Relax... As we parted, Suet suddenly remembered that the cheesecake she had last nite was actually for me. Last nite we still thot it was her bro's. But this morning before her mom left home, she told her that she bought it specially for me. Suet, u are so sickening and disgusting. U deliberately want to kapor the whole cheesecake. I just knew it. It was her evil conspiracy to offer me with the packet of vitasoy this morning so that I wont have space for the cheesecake in the morning. Hello... I was going home liao then she told me the cake was for me. Still got 3 quarters left lo. It's from the Cheesecake Cafe near her place. Disgusting!!!!

Ho Suet Ming, know what, if I dun see a fresh cheesecake next thur, I'll upload all ur photos on my blog and the whole world shall see it.. Whahahahaha.....*Bie bi wo*.....

So hungry now. Haven had dinner today. Nothing to eat at home now....

Happy Daddy's Day. Love my Pa...

Happy Fathers' Day...

Slept til noon today. Super tired the past few days. But nonetheless, today is Father's Day. Dragged myself out of bed and washed up, then crawled over my dad to peck him on his cheek and hugged and cuddled him like I used to when I was a kid. Haven done that for some time. But I just love doing it, cos I'm daddy's precious princess. haha...

Then we took out the cake my dad's boss bought for him yesterday. His Boss bought Father's Day cakes for all the directors. How thoughtful of him... Hee.... and I saved up money too... cos no need to buy cake... hahah...cheapo...

The Father's Day Cake

Haha.. I tricked my dad to act cute to take his photo and after which I told him that I'm going to put it online to show the whole world and he felt cheated... Hahahah.... Yup .. I know.. I resemble my dad..

Din have time to have lunch with my dad. Needa go for cg. So rush down to meet my parents at Causeway Point. Bought him super early dinner at Sakae Sushi. Then I insisted to go into this very particular shop where u can make ur own soft toy. I really wanted one of my own. Then dad said he wanted a panda bear. Cute and unique and it was the last one. So I wanted to buy him one, but then on a 2nd thought, he din want it cos I've got too many soft toys at home le. hehe..

After which, I went over to Chantal's place.. So.. this is the Father's Day I gave my pa..

One Flaw in Women

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.

An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"

And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."

"But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."

The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"

"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."

The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."
And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness,
love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
.
1 Corinthians 13 : 4 - 7....." Love is patient & kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love, does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."

Poor Fishies

Went to farmart on Sun with my family. Farmart is somewhere in old Chua Chu Kang, and along that road, there are many farms. So fun and exciting cos I've nv been to a farm in Singapore although I've been to farms in other countries. Mom said I was like a kid let out of "prison" after decades--- mountain tortoise... Whatever.... There were so many shops there, and there's a pond for prawn fishing, a bee farm etc....

When we came past this farm shop selling guppies, Shawn wanted to buy the guppies and we could fish for our own guppies. So we went to the back of the shop to fish for guppies. I was helping so much fun that I really wanted to fish for my own. So I asked dad and he said ok. So yippee, I was fishing while mom was choosing which guppies are nicer for me to fish. Finally caught 10 beautiful ones. 10 for $12, plus 5 more free. Wooooo...... So excited as the shopkeeper was packing my beautiful fishes.

Then we proceeded to the next farm, the vege farm. It's like a huge market selling all sorts of vege and fruits. All so fresh and cheap. And there was a nursery at the side of the vege farm selling all sorts of flowers. I saw huge pots of sunflowers and dragged my dad over. He almost bought me a pot of sunflower but it was too huge and we dunno where to put it. If we put it outside my house along the corridor, sure kana stolen one lo. Hai... Guess will only be able to buy it when I moved to a bigger house.

In that vege farm, there was a giantic fish tank and in it were many giantic fishes. There were 4 arowanas, each as large as 10 year-old kid. Super big. So scary lo...

Then we went home to put my beautiful fishes in my fish tank where there were big promfets. Mom said that we should put the guppies in a separate tank but dad said no space liao, so I poured all my guppies into the big tank. Dad said the big fishes will eat up all my guppies. Argh... I bind that in Jesus' name.

But true enough, when we came home after dinner, my 15 guppies only left with 5. Ahhh.... Total denial...... Worst still, this morning when I woke up, all the 5 also gone. Ahh.... There goes the $12. Dad said it was an expensive meal for all the big fishes. Ah.... my poor fishies. I indirectly caused their death. If I wasn't so hyper and excited at that instant, I wont have bought them, and they might still be swimming happily in the fish tanks in the shop. So sad....

Emerging: Feeling Reborn

Have been really busy the past few days. Well, tuitions, work and Emerge Conference. This year's Emerge conference was very different from the previous years. Not so much on the preaching but more on worshipping. Pastor Kong wanted all of us to focus on worshipping God. It's a very different experience. Beyond words description.

Just as Ting said, I've been crying too much, too many buckets of tears for him that I guess my tear glands got immune to my emotions. But the past 3 days, I've been crying buckets again. Not for man, but for God. Was crying so much since the 1st session of the conference.

The greatest reward I got from this year's Emerge was a deeper love for God. Felt God mending back what have been malfunctioning in me. Revelations after another, visions and dreams filling me once again.

I've been so imperfect, yet God took me in as I am. Many a times I failed Him, sometimes even badly. But nonetheless, He still loves me evermore. There were times when I turned away from Him, yet He sought me back. No one could love me more than God. The deepest thought that struck me since the conference was what would happen to me if I dun have God? I guess I wont be where I am now. I cant imagine a life without God. If I haven known Him, maybe I'll be living a purposeless and meaningless life. Yucks...

Many people I know on the outside seem ok, yet many of them are empty on the inside. Yet they dont realise the fact that what they are really missing out in life and instead they go around searching for the wrong things in life to fill up the feeling of emptiness in them, like worldly relationships, man's approvals... etc... Hello people, give urself a chance to know God. He's the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He created you way before u knew about it. Only God satisfy u and give u the answer to eternity.

O well, yet I do know that maybe some of u might wonder if God can satisfy me and fill all emptiness, why do I still feel so miserable the past 6 months. HELLO.... for ur info, me not empty lo. I was just rebellious in my spirit and stubborn and lost, yet I din dare to seek God's guidance cos I felt unworthy of it. But my thinking was wrong cos God's grace is so great that it can abound all things. I may be unworthy yet God loves me so much that He sent Jesus to redeem all my sins.

God created me to be His worshipper. Yet becos of some setbacks, I slackened myself on that. But now I'm coming back and I'm all the more determined to do it. 20 days to go. Go go Jo. I just had to set my feet right back on track in my walk with God.

Upon hearing all the testimonies of the various pastors and zone supervisors, I began to look back on my walk with God since I first began. I used to have great dreams of what I could do for God. But I gave them all up when things fell apart. But now, these dreams and passion and visions are coming back. However, I still think that I should take things slowly. God will lead and direct my path. Besides, I'm still on my way to full recovery. Soon, soon, soon.... I'll be back on my feet to fight this great fight of faith. Amen!

First Hands on the Wheel

Umeya

Yesterday had a great time fellowshipping for my members after cg. Guanzheng, Terence, Shiyi and I went makaning at the food court at Sun Plaza. We talked so much, anything under the sun. I never had such great time with my members in W161, besides that time with Ting and Max. O well... Gone is gone...

After makaning, we stood at Umeya House (a titbit stand which sells all sorts of plums) trying all sorts of dried fruits associated with "mei" (chinese of plums or berries). I got hooked to the dried strawberries(cao mei). So special. There's also love fruits (ai qing mei) and lover's fruit (qing ren mei). Terence and I bought the caomei, Guanzheng bought ai qing mei and Shi Yi bought the Xi Prune (xi mei). Haha... what a "mei" day.

Then we went to NTUC to check out the prices for the pasta event. We spent so much time in there and brainstormed so many things which we wanna do. And know what GZ very fan leh. And also very off lo. He very insistent that we muz try cooking pasta with oyster sauce and making Chinese tea to go with the pasta. Siao liao. So off lo.. Hahahaha...

Had a fun time today. Ald a month in E205 le, time really flies cos it seems like I've been there for a long time.

Me? A tai-tai? No. I'm just a princess-wanna-be.

Me? A tai-tai? Maybe I am a tai-tai in some ways bah. But deep down in me, I'm not and I dun desire to be one. I only love to indulge myself occasionally, erm say perhaps 3 times a wk? Haha.. Maybe that's too much.. But I just love to indulge as and when I like and when my mood of indulging comes.

Well I prefer to be called a princess rather than a tai-tai. Why? There's so much differences between both.

The life of a tai-tai only sleep and eat, shop and relax, and play mahjong. Always doing the same things. So boring. A tai-tai got no dream and things to look forward to, besides how to spend their day everyday. A tai-tai grows to be fat and ugly and always has those kinda bee-hive hairstyle. So ugly. Tai-tai got no brain one lo. Yucks. I dun wanna be one.

The life of a princess is more or less the same, except that princesses are more open to new things and are more vibrant. A princess more elegant and those sophisticated one got brains lo. Haha.... I wanna be one with brains and can enjoy life yet work the jobs I like.

I'll die if I were to live like a tai-tai everyday. I'll be bored to death. At least I sometimes do like to work.

Yesterday when Xiaowei heard that I got pilates class on Friday, she said I very tai-tai leh and asked if I got any other tai-tai activities such as yoga. Eh... Yoga, pilates and aerobics aint tai-tai activities anymore. These activities are open to the public liao. These are all sports lo. When I told her I got kickboxing lessons too, I guess she couldn't believe it.

Well I just love to live an indulging yet purposeful and meaningful life. But somehow not all the people around me know how to indulge and enjoy life the way I do. Different people have different ways of enjoying.

Ok I had to admit that I'm kinda pampered and I love to be pampered yet not totally pampered to be those totally ignorant idiots or spoilt bratz.

I love going for spas and facials, going for high-tea in hotels, shopping for branded stuffs (only certain things and certain brands) or even just shopping and going home with my hands full of bags, love to go for musicals and spend a day in some good atmosphere cafe with a bunch of my buddies. Well no one taught me how to live such a life, and my mom isn't so approving of the way I spend my money on spa and facial and branded cosmetics and beautycare. My dad is ok with it. But both of them are ok with me buying branded clothes. Cos my dad always buy branded clothes for my mom. O well.. that's why they are ok with it and I'm all the more ok with it cos my dad pays for my clothes. I love shopping with my dad cos he pays for everything. Cant wait to get my credit card in 9 months time. Having debit card really also not much of a kick.

Well, I know I'm kinda of a "bad" influence to some of my buddies. I taught Suet how to watch musicals and shop for beautiful earrings, taught Sally and Chantal and even auntie Alice how to go for spa and facial (not that Auntie Alice dun go for them. She used to but haven gone for them after Cheryl was born. So I inspired her to go for her 1st Spa in 3 years or maybe even 6). I taught Ting how to go expensive restaurants, taught Ris how to smell nice perfumes and rot in cafes.

And bcos I've got so many membership cards in my cardholder which is already exploding, and of which, one is the Body Shop card, so Sally and Chantal also went to apply for the Body Shop card. Chantal only applied her card 2 wks ago. And I just read her blog. She went to The Body Shop to shop today again and spent so much. In 2 weeks, she ald spent $300 plus. Gosh... I led her "astrayed". Now she's indulging herself with The Body Shop products. Eh... If she goes bankrupt bcos of it, I'm a little tinny-mini bit indirectly responsible la.

Well and also cos I went to make the research for yoga classes, which indirectly dragged Sally and I into the kickboxing class cos Chantal wanted to learn kickboxing.

Hai.. Am I good or bad? I think I'm good. At least after all the indulging I still have the brains and might to wanna work hard and save up, and to serve. At least I still do household chores and cook.

My princess dream is to wait for my Godma to come back from New Jersey and buy me a car and give me the money for me to setup my cafe.

Once again. Me not a tai-tai. Just that I love indulging and pampering myself. I'm just a princess-wanna-be.

A Jo-jo Day!

Haven been blogging the last 2 days. Busy working. I was so happy last nite cos today no need to work and also no tuition. A day solely dedicated to myself for me to do my things. Yipee.

Finally got to sleep in today. Have been waking so early these days even after my exams. Haven had a day which I slept past 10am. Well today I did. Actually I intended to sleep past mid-noon but woke up around 11.02am and forced myself back to sleep again and I really thot I did but when I opened my eyes again, it was only 11.18am. Aiya no point forcing myself back to sleep, besides, then my brain was filled with what I planning to cook for dinner tonite.

Pulled myself out of bed and went to make a club sandwich for myself for brunch. Yum... Then watched some tv...eh... maybe slightly more than some bah.. Painted my nails, did the laundry, marinated pork chops and fish steak for dinner, changed my bedsheets, made a birthday card for Jeremy which I almost forgot, cooked dinner, washed up and did a hair mask. Well sounded quite a lot I did for a slightly-more-than-half day.

Actually I had so many things which I intended to do today, but I guessed I over-estimated myself. Wanted to do a face mask in the day, play my piano, practise my pilates, vacuum the floor and blog. But din have the time to do all in the day. So I'm blogging now and going to do my face mask later. There's so many things I wanna blog about. My thoughts are exploding.

Tomorrow got tuitions and pilates and next wk emerge conference. Guess I better blog them all down tonite.

Well I kinda like such a day when I'm all alone at home, no one to bother me and I can do all my stuff. Everytime when my parents are home, I'll never like to do housework cos my dad simply dun like I can really do them and will always snatch my stuff and also they always complain and nag so much when I do household chores. So I rather rot in front of the tv in their sight and do all the work behind their back.

My parents loved the pork-chop which I fried today. Created a new recipe and just tried it out and it turned out to be a success. Not too bad, but I still think I can improvised on that.

Well so I guess, today is a semi-Jo day.

O not to forget, I got another job lobang today again. So blessed. Thank God for all His favour upon me. Love You God. Thanks for loving me so I can love myself and the people You've placed in my life too.
