why chinese mothers are superior
this is the most interesting article ive read in months...can totally relate to it. except for the muscial instrument part. i think my parents were more focused on the academic side. i think it was partly cos i refused to persist in the practising of the piano. and they werent too happy either when i started doing drama/dance in school. hahahahaha..
i have a sinking feeling im so gonna end up like dat if i have kids. sigh...

back from holiday and still uncertain
im back from a much needed holiday in australia. went with the bf to sydney and melbourne. main reason being dat one of my frens whom ive known for the longest time was getting married. aww...and it was my first attendance at a fren's wedding. missed the first one last year due to illness.
the holiday part was good but filled with stress nevertheless. maybe it was due to my incessant need to be in control and well, i wasnt the one planning the holiday, it was all up to him. so i couldnt help but worry dat things wouldnt go smoothly.
regardless, i enjoyed the sun and the warmer weather, the seafood (had a tonne of oysters and prawns) and the shopping.
spent new year's eve in sydney and wasted/waited 7 hours to see the famous harbour bridge fireworks. worth it? dunno. personally, not really. in future, i would either book a hotel room with a guaranteed view or book a table at a restaurant overlooking the view. then also spent my bday in melb. spent the day shopping and eating. had the most amazing degustation menu meal at number 8 at crowne complex. along with wine pairings. seriously amazing food! oysters, quail, fish, moreton bay bugs, duck, dessert, yummerz..
and then celebrated jenn and james' wedding yesterday in melb. beautiful ceremony. i had to do a reading. was so nervous. i think if i was the one getting married, i would be sweating thru the dress. hahaha. then the reception was on a boat by the dock. pretty amazing too. very happy for the newlywed couple!
and now im back in timaru. back to work tmr. my next holiday is set to be in may. going back to sg on cheap jetstar flights. and possibly going somewhere else from there, may be korea! woohoo!
in the mean time, gotta earn more money, do more work, do more study. sigh. im still stressed despite this holiday about the rest of my life. what to do?!?! uncertain about sooo many things. poos.
