i suspect my mum has some cleanliness OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), which i shall call the CNY syndrome. she loves to hover around my table, i know her hands are itching to stack my things up in her way of (perceived) neatness. and she tells me that i should get a bigger box to put my smaller boxes in. which makes no sense and serves no practical purpose cos ultimately the small boxes are still there. and she loves to nag and tell me that this is her hse, she can clean it her way. yah, go ahead, i dun care what she does to the rest of the hse just leave my table alone!

so, it was chris and my first ballrm dancing lesson on friday and i must say it was pretty fun. it was quite physically straining though, with lots of tiptoe-ing. it felt like aerobics lesson to me cos by the end we had sore calfs and sore arms haha, but i enjoyed it.
i finally got down to reading pride and prejudice. finally i could get past the first chapter. the prev times i tried to read it, i always get lost esp when they argue with each other. but after watching the movie, at least ive an idea of what's going on. i also had a sudden urge one day to read chinese classics like hong lou meng. oh my, my dad would be so proud of me. haha

i went to the mega ikea at tampines with my family today and i must say it is really successful. the food is nice and cheap, the furniture are pretty, simple and affordable, and ikea always makes me feel like buying cute little things (which may be qt useless) such as their very pretty boxes, nice drinking glasses, candles, beautiful black photo frames and pictures, on impulse. see, it really works. this mega store is really big and makes me all giddy looking at the piles of things. i'd really love to decorate my own hse someday. i can picture it with nice dark wood and dark-ish walls, lots of glass, pictures in black frames. i also have this thing for drinking glasses so i'd stock up on all sorts of wine, champagne, martini glasses. i can already hear my mum complaining how difficult it is to clean. haha

i REALLY cant believe that A's are over. i mean when u think about it, it wasnt too long ago at all when we were slogging our asses off. but (admit it) our brains have probably degenerated to mush already. actually i miss having my brain in tiptop, exam- ready form. its qt depressing to flip through the math and cant rmb how to do things when they used to be 2nd nature! and im sooo bored of slacking, mainly because i really end up doing nothing without a routine. and my original intention to do lots of reading failed terribly. except reading some old magazines and 2nd hand $1 nancy drew bks from thomson plaza (i solved the case before she did HAH!).

went for the inter-jc prom pageant with chris and grace yest. it was pretty interesting and vivien told me that the winners were both ex-ph ppl! interesting. and colin is a giant. he's the tallest person i've seen thus far. maybe mr q. is that tall. saw qt a few old friends arnd, wasnt too bad! didnt stay for long though :(

my days are just endless youtube-ing and mooching around, which im starting to get sick of. so i better get my ass of my chair and do sth soon

so, its 2007. feels really weird cos it wasnt too long ago when we were slogging our asses off in the library. anyway, i was at the airport when 2006 was over. so disappointing! there weren't any special celebration for both xmas and new yr. i'm sort of having a post trips blue, cos one week is really short! i actually survived korea without being able to read a single signboard or read any menu (besides hotel restaurants). there were some really really cold days like when we were skiing and our fingers and toes froze but it was really fun. i'd rather have cold than hot actually..hahah. and we did some nice shopping there, though the accessories there are expensive! ( i wonder why! since some sg stuff are korean imports) we also made friends with this 2 kids super adorable!! they called our room to ask if they could come over and play. and they are planning to come to our hse this wkend. very cute! one thing abt korea is that they have very few international cuisines. only the occassional chinese or jap restaurants. so the koreans live on korea food everyday! which will get boring right? i mean, hotpot/bibimbak/bbq everyday gets a bit dull..spking of which, korean airlines serves bibimbak. quite special haha

so now its back to the boring life in sg :( hope to catch a takeshi movie soon and go msia for some shopping!! my table is in a mess once again and i dun feel like doing anything abt it.
