My surprise yesterday morning marks the 4th year:)

Made my day. 

123

 Anxious bride

Our last picture together as single ladies!

congrates sis!

Past few days were really busy with packing, 

making sure that our house is presentable for many guests.

when the big day arrived, was just buzzing around like a bumble bee

but all the hard work was paid off, everything ran smoothly and I'm glad the 

bride was smiling all the way:)

Have a blissful marriage, sis.

The room is kinda empty now.

too empty actually.

hahah! but I like it!:D

In the midst of making sure that the wedding was running smoothly, 

I received a bouquet of flowers from 

someone special who lived 11000 miles away !:)

This bouquet of roses marked the 4th year

I love surprises! 

once again, thank you for making my day on this special date

hehh!

<3

Beautiful life

Finally, something exciting!
well, my studying session with maureen and pearly
ended up at Esplanade catching Corrinne May live:)
how awesome!

What a way to end my fruitful day!
really excited to see her perform though
it was just one song.
It was worth travelling  from NTU to town.
NO REGRETS:))

Aside from that,

I'm left with:

1. ACL 401 presentation (19 Oct)
2. TE report (28 Oct)
3. DI lesson plan (8 Nov)
4. ASL essay (8 Nov)
5. Math test (7 Nov)--which is a holiday, lets see how they clear the mess
6. TE exam (17 Nov)

till the end of sem!
looking forward to HK(again) next weekend
and India!

and....... Christmas!

Gees, I'm turning one year older soooon.

Possible?

 like the layout but not the colour of the wall

 maybe something lighter?

I'm looking forward to my house renovation!
but I'm not quite sure if its possible to do up
my dream room cos my parents are rather
traditional...

cant wait for a single room either!
I am 22 and I need my privacy..

Modern age family. Dad and mum using ipad, son using iphone

Solitary Saturday

I used to rush from places to places on Saturdays
and suddenly when I have nothing to do, I feel weird.

Just gave mum and dad a lift to Changi Village..
sisters are out.
yupp, home alone on a Saturday afternoon

the feeling is nice for a little while.
should I take a nap now?
read a book?
do maths paper?
watch Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare?

I have fulfilled my cravings for Starbucks
thanks to their happy hour 3-5pm where ALL
frappe were half price.
It's time for them to return/contribute to the society
:D
should have it every year!

so....


WHO WANTS DINNER TONIGHT!
IM BORED :(

on a side note,

I really dont know how to deal with this kid

who's attitude is not right from the very start.
I dont know what to do next..

If she cant even help herself,
who can?

Received a postcard from Lena who's all the way in UK now!

so touch. thanks! :)

back to reality

Hello to all,

Its' been months since I last blogged.
Just came back from my 26 days holidays in UK( again).
gosh, I must control myself from going there too often.
somehow, I feel quite at home over there already.
very thankful for gracious people like Noelle, Wei Yang and Luke
for putting up  my sis and I at their places.
Truly blessed and appreciated.

I have concluded that out of the three trips to UK,
(within a year-im actually embarrassed about it)
this spring  hols was the best thus far.
It was a very fruitful one indeed.
From London-Paris-Lake District-Sheffield.

Did some irrelevant shopping, and many sightseeing

which include Eiffel Tower, Louvre,  Notre dame, Disneyland etc.
Conquered Mount Hellvelyn (took us 5hours to get up the summit and down),
did some quad biking which I felt was a total waste of money ( lesson learnt)
and crashed University of Sheffield lectures ( pretty interesting).
Basically, lots of quality time.
