photos from we are what we bag

saw this on clearance at payless! this is my dream wallet!!! so i ......

BOUGHT IT!!!!!!!

xmas and bonus. see? those are my reasons for my indulgence. im gonna utilise both of them ok! hahahahaha.

After much contemplation, discussion and calculation, I finally bought this! Hehe.

There's a story behind this. I went DFS w Von on sat, we saw this n it's priced at $129.

Today, sis n I went taka coach and it's priced at $119. Then we went DFS again, it's still priced at $129. Why e price difference?! So sis asked the very friendly salesman n he checked e price for us. After a while, he came bk and told us that they will charge us at that price too. So weird. It's as if we can bargain with the price! They didn't change e price tag at all! It is still marked at $129. Well, lucky I checked e price at other branches. Heh.

There I have it, a new pouch for my cash n cards! No more daiso pouch! Hahaha!

I know people will change their views abt me but I don care anymore!!!! I really love this mainland series!!!! I'm so addicted to it! Hahaha at first I watched it for e sake of sammul but not anymore! I watch it for the sake of e story n sammul now hahahaha. Pls don give me dirty looks when u see me, this show is really good!

on saturday, we had our scouts' training camp. its a 4D3N camp but lucky my duty is only for 2D1N. it was really FUN but tiring. this is the first time i find a camp so fun and i really laughed whole-heartedly! :) :)

reach sch ard 7+ and everyone has started working on open house! it was my first time attending their open house so i was not really prepared. haha. but luckily i have 4 guides with me. they wore female scouts uniform! how cool is tt! the girls and i had a lot of fun decorating the boards and trying to make our booth look as impressive as possible. with sjab and gb beside us, we do felt abit inferior. gb has 2 standing banners! how cool is that! really xin ji zhong! sjab had a table full of TALL and intimidating trophies which reminded me of dad;s trophies he achieved with his pet birds. hahaha.

later on, the ventures came and helped us out. lucky we have them. if not i wil b so lost! but who knows, when open house has started and when parents came over to ask qns, i was the one doing all the talking!!! roar! the ventures simply watched us! roar. and out of the 4 ventures we had, one of them looked like sammul! HAHAHA. i've always thought he looks like him! so i told him and the others said i pak jiao.

anyway we had lots of fun. playing 2p game with shannon, listening to candlene talk abt arnold (hahaha). i felt young all of a sudden! hahaha. but along the way, the stall is occasionally attended by me n sammul lookalike only. he has narcolepsy so he kept falling aslp so in the end, its jus me watching the crowd. but i must say, i was the most loyal tcher! i was the only one who stayed at the booth throughout! ahem! haha. but tts cos i have nth to do also. hehe.

after open house, we got back to camp. the boys have built their own "house"! so amazing! roy gave me a guide ard their house and charging me $5 for that. haha. but they actually had a hammock! and i tried slping on it! so cool! hahaha!

and on that night, we had to cook our own dinner. so ventures and i cooked. i cut the vege w/o washing. haha. oops. and i cooked 2 dishes. cooking without correct containers, condiments and garlic/onion is DIFFICULT. nevertheless, we managed to cook 5 dishes and rice. :) :) :) we didnt care abt personal hygiene. although i was apprehensive at first, i heck care eventually and adapted to our pathetic envt. haha. we had food tasting after that. really fun! it was my first time being a judge! haha. jin jie's patrol made really really really nice chicken soup! it was so heavenly that we jus had to kope more!!! HAHAHA! we din have our spoons so it was difficult. so luckily jien hsiu used a cup (!!!) to scoop one whole cup for us to share! hahaha

it was 10+ by the time we are free to do own stuff. so i wanted to bathe badly! but i was the only female ard so i got the guys to stay outside of the toilet and waited for me to bathe. really paiseh and SCARED. when i stepped in, there was a huge cockcroach on the floor! sadist jien hsiu (sammul lookalike) caught it and put it in a bottle. grossness to the max.

finally got to slp at 1+. oh man.

on sunday, the boys continued to make their meals. really amazed at how george knows how to use chopper to hit the garlic so that its slightly mashed and the skin comes off naturally. n how they fried their bee hoon was impressive. (i haven tried frying bee hoon myself!) and some of them even tried making chang tow you (fried onions) to top their bee hoon soup. amazing. haha.

left at 3pm once we're done with the boys' certificates. i must say, laminating machine is AMAZING!!!!!!! haha.

really hope to go back to camp with them once again. :)

i haven read a lot if u compare myself with some of my frens. i realised how conservative i am when it comes to choosing books. i only stick to those authors i have come across before and why i came across them is another question. it might be due to their nice book covers. hehe. im sure many ppl choose books by their covers, don't they? so after finishing the gift by Celia Ahern (not Ahem as what rozi said hehe), i tried reading other books by her. but her books are not as catchy as sophie kinsella's. thats my personal opinion. so i took a week to finish..

yes. this was it. its such a funny story. i cant help laughing at some parts of the story. a really humourous writer she is.. and then i jus finished this..

really touching story. cant help feelin sad for the narrator.definitely a nice story! images by trashionista
next up, i have this..totally excited abt it!

I haven't read anything in 2 years I think. But thanks to Zhss library, they do have a great variety of books (chosen by the tchers ourselves), I managed to borrow this. I'm e second person to borrow this so it's still in mint condition, nth yellowish hehe.

What can I say, she is a great writer. Her books nv fail to touch me. Money can't buy everything, especially time spent with family n loved ones.

one day when im filthy rich, i will buy myself this.

I rcved the boxes already! I love it! It's easy to fold and is useful in organizing my stuff in e drawer! :) :)
