In pictures:


  <- Homecooked food by K. and her lovely family(except the pork porridge; that's what i made XD)! For no occasion at all, just simply for dinner. I got touched by this. Such warm, genuine hospitality! Both heart-and-tummy-warming. <3






Brunch/lunch with Joey and Sarah! I had a 'basic' meal that day at Food for Thought with these lovely ladies, so can't really comment on the quality there...the bacon was good though! ^_^
And then a shoot afterward to help Joey with her project. Will post more pics once i get them!





Then Jurong Point with K. afterwards! ^_^ Originally intended to swim, but the sucky weather ruined it all...so our wallets lost weight instead of our bellies, and our bellies and bags swelled with good food and purchases. And possibly strained our cheek muscles from laughing too much too, while at it. Haha! :)
'Crispy rice cakes' at Seoul Express were super good!! It's like fried mua chee with cheese sauce on it; we had an additional serving of bbq sauce because the cooks got our order wrong. But the resulting mixture is sooooo damn good. Their chicken ramen was good too, but having it on a totally empty stomach would be better-the soup got thicker and more flavourful at the end, so it was a good end to the meal.



Belated bday gift from her. Twas such a thoughtful gift! And such a sweet gesture really; i never thought K. would have remembered it, but she did! I'm touched. :)))
And honestly, i think i'll learn to treat my cups more gently in the long run thanks to this fragile gift; i usually just clunk my (thick porcelain/plastic)cups down and get on with my life but now...nope! ^_^


Annnnnd that was all that went on these past few weeks. Apart from work, that is.
Been trying to kickstart my goals for these few months, so i'm gonna sign up for driving lessons('finally! My God', said my mum when i told her) on Thurs! Can't wait to drive and blast my music loud on long stretches of road on late, listless nights.
All this spare time has led to quite a few thoughts populating in my mind.
Like how ironic it is, that at a certain point in my life, my mum was dead set against me going to Laselle to take up fashion design. Now she nags me daily, fearing i won't want to further my education and stick to plain ole' working instead...but, like i ever will! I certainly don't see myself doing retail for long after i graduate anyway. :)
And on a more trivial note, how i once thought having this much spare time would be like heaven. No nagging to study from my mother, no stress from academics or petty schoolyard politics; more time to work out and everything. Now, faced with so much time, i just whittle it away by sleeping early and rising late(4am-12 smth pm), going out, doing chores-my parents firmly believe in making me earn my own keep, and i abide by that-; generally wasting time.

Having a sense of duty and purpose in one's life is so important, now i realise.

Anyway, Joey has told me to take up sewing lessons to further my chance of getting into Laselle, so i'm going to do that once i get back from Hong Kong!

Thus will end this rambling blog entry.
Ta! :)
