What I intend to read this week:
I was more excited about Christmas one month before than I am right now - just three days before The Merry Day.
Why do YOU YOU AND YOU have to take all the joy out of giving and eating and merry-making!!!
(& you know you've gone crazy when you start talking to your essays.)
Anyhow, Sydney was pretty great. Being overseas and taking a breather from everything else is Generally Good, even if I'm put on some random kayak to nowhere - I am happy. Loved the sand-boarding, though it meant sand everywhere (in the pockets, hair, eyes, mouth, shirt etc). Food was good! Fantastic Japanese restaurant just opposite the hotel - which we only discovered on the second last day. The cousins are seriously crazy; they get crazier as they grow older. Can you imagine getting bullied by a five-year-old!!! Omg if my brother ever pulled my hair like that I'd make sure he has no more hair.
Haha, I kid.
One day, I'm going to own a house by the beach in some obscure corner of the world where NO ESSAYS CAN TOUCH ME.
Since we were pretty darn free, my mom and I took a bus down to Little India intending to try out a vegetarian restaurant, which my aunt recommended. We tracked the restaurant down to 7 Sensations in Madras St, which is just behind the Tekka shopping centre (The Verge, I think). However, upon seeing the pricey menu - it's Little India!! - and disappointed by the fact that it wasn't an Indian restaurant, we walked on a bit more.
Good thing, because we chanced upon Sakunthala's. (The website isn't a good reflection of the Dunlop branch, but there's some background stuff and the location details.) The food had to be good, as the place was one of the few in the area that was packed. Heck, there was a queue. Didn't take too long for us to find seats, luckily, and we quickly settled for Tandoori Chicken Briyani. Good stuff. We also tried the fish, which was okay, I guess. There's free flow of briyani / rice - and I was amazed to see an Indian lady opposite me accept two or three bowls worth of extra rice after eating the same amount. The first dollop is already a lot, so I'd recommend sharing a meal, and adding a vegetable or meat dish with that. Next time, we're going to try the paper prata. It's gigantic. I'm thinking it's just a few centimetres shorter than my CPU.
Awesome.

After severe loss, what does the heart
learn that it has not already understood
about regret? When all light finally
forsakes a room, do we take the time
to interrogate the dark, and to what end?
After yesterday I'm just going to chillax.
Check out the EtherPad (rec by Mr Lim).
Another Saturday is here haha someone's back from JAPAN (why's everyone going Japan??) and that means alotalot of the holidays are already gone. x_____x
Guess I'll have to finish my current book soon have been holding on to it for too long and there're others to read. Bought a pretty folder from Suntec Bookfest yesterday and hope that will magically make going through of worksheets/tutorials more pleasant.
I want to go school library to borrow movies again because nobody borrows them during the hols and I live 10min's bus trip away but still too lazy to put on shirt and skirt.
Counting three more weeks to start of school oh god.
This should give me the strength to PRESS ON.
Been on a cooking frenzy recently, in between all the mulling over university and swatting flies. Cooking for friends was not too brilliant, I really shouldn't have tried to deal with an entire chicken if I haven't done it before. Edible, but not as good as what Mum can churn out.
I didn't really expect myself to start baking either, but somehow I did. In the past week I've made two avocado cakes. Good reviews at home; both were finished in a couple of days. But I think avocado isn't a good fruit to use in any food - it has no aroma on its own. I think I'll work with something else next time.

Someone counted three hundred plus forgot dunno how many days till As, and this is to add on to my previous post of other countdowns.
Been dancing continuously for a few days now, muscle aches all over! D: Despite that, now I'm truly enjoying this one and only passion I've ever managed to upkeep till now! Well, many others have perished along the way under various circumstances, few are still staying around but in a more silent manner, I'm genuinely very glad to be able to just keep on dancing for the past omg decade and also many years to come. It's not that I've not felt the passion in me before this, but it has never been so strong! Probably mainly because there's really nothing much else that's occupying my time right now, still, dancing is gradually emerging itself as something that I'm learning to love more with my heart, and hopefully with less muscle aches.
I've said I'll get to work proper, and yes it's going to happen! For reasons too obvious to be stated. I think sometime after the June holidays I've also planned to embark on some sort of part-time job/attachment/wtv in this December holidays like manymany others are doing (HI BUSY FRIENDS :D). This was met with extra difficulty after Promo results are made known as I believe no one wants someone who can't even manage her grades well? And more difficulties when deciding on the best method to spend these six weeks. So that got scratched because I have realized that I have to get the basics right for myself first before any of those can come in (though believe me I think attachments/internships are wonderful opportunities to learn, so treasure it if you're doing one!).
Have started this hols on a really light note, relaxing and just watching...time go by (it's a brilliant experience to just pay attention to time out of all things, I mean if you've got such a luxury like I do). For instance, I sat at the Viewing Area (Corner? Can't remember) in T3 for two straight hours early one morning one day and just watched planes landing and taking off (I never knew the sizes of airplanes can differ so much omg some looked like they're toys! It's either that or SIA's got all huge-ass planes), gazed at the skyline as it got brighter by the second. I swear it trumps any other form of de-stressing solutions and what's more, it provides ideal time for discovering personal revelations and setting of goals or wtv and and...it's free!
The last time I've checked, about half of these six weeks have already passed? No better time to just get started I think! It'll suck if my promise for proper work to start is broken by myself because I abhor anyone who makes empty promises.
