heading to JB again for a day trip with sarah and eileen to shop at city square once again…prayers for our safety is much needed!

i never take that for granted after hearing all the stories of how singaporean girls shopping in JB are ambushed and are raped in car parks, even with the boyfriend around. apparently, the boyfriend gets beaten up and is made to watch the entire ordeal of the girl getting gang-banged…

how handbags are cut and get snatched by thieves on motorbikes if you walk too closely to the road with your bag facing out onto the streets…

how girls go into the ladies by themselves and their friends wait outside, not realising that their friend in the loo had been knocked unconscious and dressed up in an old lady’s disguise, escorted out of the toilet unnoticed and end up in a totally different country, only to become a victim of a global sex trafficking syndicate…

to those heading overseas during this holiday season, please do not take your safety for granted. go everywhere in pairs or in a group where possible. you never know when this piece of advice and a prayer of safety will come in most handy for you.

am still doing up a list of christmas shoppin’ that i need to try and finish ASAP, but somehow a new person just pops out every time I think that my list is complete. aye. looks impossible at this rate…i SO need to get hold of santa’s management/organisation tips.

it’s the season to give again and i find the digits appearing in my bank account dwindling drastically even before christmas reaches, but i know God loves a cheerful giver. i just need to have faith that He’ll top it up again before i know it :)

anyway, thanks ning for popping by the store with your mum & sis to visit me and to drop off the lovely pressie! was in the middle of my sushi and trust me, i was totally stunned by your sudden appearance all whilst seaweed was stuck in my teeth and soya sauce was all over my mouth! love the gift!

every thing that you have blessed me with since day 1 of our friendship is always so heartfelt and thoughtful. but more so, i treasure the special bond that we have built up since our poly days, going through thick and thin in our projects with atrocious groupmates and sharing lots of happy and sad days together, major and minor milestones and turning points in both our lives.

thank you for still being there, for always being there and for the fact that you will always be there like a sister, a friend and a life-long confidante i know i can always keep.

to many more days of sisterhood and friendship to come…

spotted at far east plaza, had a hearty laugh with ning…lol.

translate: my love for you resembles the eternal roots beneath – a visible delight, but necessary. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods, you’re aware. Time will change it as winter will change the trees.

?!?

it’s the time of the year again…exams! ARGH.

i really hate our local education system. only 2 weeks to my 1st of 3 papers, all crammed back to back and still not done with classes until next tuesday, which means that i can barely get my revision done without being interrupted with preparation for my next class. my profs are really cutting the ice very thin.

anyway, 3 more semesters and my bar exam to go after this one’s done and then i never want to pick up my books and study for any exam ever again. may try for a semester’s exchange overseas, just to get away from singapore. i have a love-hate relationship with my home country. it’s complicated, aye.

in the meantime, help me Jesus…my mountain-load of notes to read in 2 weeks for 3 subjects seems impossible!

nothing much, was looking through my old pink blog and just thought i’ll pop my head into this almost-abandoned blog and remind myself about the title of this entry the next time i write anything in here. some of my entries back then left me shaking my head to myself at the kind of things i wrote online. i hope i’ve wisened up by now.

anyway, hope it comes in useful to those who stumbles across it too.

there are days that i just want to drop everything here, move back to perth with Ju and build a home there together.

today’s one of them…*sigh*

i’m a shoe lady…

this post almost did not make it here.

oh yes, title above inspired by my classmate’s never-ending series of little miss tees…

i haven’t been blogging for over a month and wordpress has taken the liberty to logout of my blog on my behalf and change its entire appearance till i thought i was in someone else’s blogging account. funny how things online morph and evolve so quickly…

been busy with year 2 of law school. professors this year are funnier than those in year 1. the dean is especially endearing – he lectures company law and he has a sense of humour that i admire – often making himself the subject of his own jokes and at times, completely making a fool of himself, much to our amusement. my subjects are a lot harder to comprehend although the curriculum, thankfully, seems more manageable. no more multiple assignments per module that we must hand up at 2259hours on a saturday (i liken this to a military exercise). it’s amazing how i actually have weekends now! (better not speak too soon…)

anyway, my colleagues were tempting me with makeupartistinc the whole of yesterday and i’ve decided to get this:

88-spanking eye colour palette (mine’s matte!)

can’t wait for it to arrive! :p

blog soon…

for my 25th birthday celebration, Ju took me to the zoo where we were instantaneously transformed into little kids…

take 1: alamak, fail…

take 2: much better, though still blurry

my favourite man & me

lunch @ ah meng kopi!

nonya curry chicken & bread, laksa & toast bread with peanut butter & jam – delicious!

posing with the parrots

monkey with an extremely human-looking face

even the white tiger knows how to sit in the pool and get a tan…

noisy bunch of flamingoes gawking away

so many animals were sleeping…

was stunned by this orang utan who suddenly came from nowhere and sprawled itself out on the floor right before my eyes

Ju got himself a slimy, fishy kiss from the seal. euwww…

exorbitantly-priced popcorn *gasp*

even though my camera battery ran out very quickly, i discovered a bird shit stain that had already dried up on my top, and the rain came pouring while we were on the boat ride, i had a great time nevertheless.

thank you dear for your awesome company and for making my day! *muaks*
