i ran 4miles ie 6.4km at the gym just now! pretty pleased, since the last time i ran properly for long distance was 2years ago! i also did some light weights and static exercises with the medicine ball, like 100 crunches and sit-ups! i sense an onset of muscle aches though. haha
jessica, emily and rebecca came over for dinner! we had my chicken curry (which i cooked from scratch ie curry powder + coconut milk!) and jess's mapo toufu and rebecca's stir fried veg. dishes were good, and we had a good time catching up!! ((((: then they finished the Lim Chee Guan bak-kwa and bengawan solo pineapple tarts which Nicole left with me from last night's mahjong + pool session!

-Friedrich Nietzsche
gym later with jessica! i hope i manage to run at least 5km! (this is considering the last time i ran a decent 2.4km was in JC2. HAHA) i need to burn those calories! (:
i can't sleep now cos i fell asleep while trying to revise from 8-10pm! sigh i've been sleeping so much, feel like such a pig.
thank goodness the weekend's here and next week's my slack week.
chatting with my aunt makes me wanna be back home for CNY. if only i could :(
omg, last night, i had a really strange dream. i dreamt that i was driving back in Sg and committed some traffic offences. i beat red lights, i knocked down a pedestrian (hit and run), and i crashed into a green fence. and instead of worrying abt immediate revocation of license, i kept trying to count how many demerit points it'll amount to. hahaha weird.
lunch with the year2s today was good. learnt so much from them, especially about internships and vac schemes, and the options after graduation. really insightful. ohyes, and the talk abt the impact of recession on the legal sector was pretty useful too.
sigh, my life is boring atm. can't wait for Dublin trip!
OKAY I AM GOING OFF NOW AND NOT COMING B
it's the last day of January! seemed like just yesterday that we welcomed the new year. i guess time passes really quickly when you're so busy dealing with many issues at hand, and when you're barely breathing with the workload and expectations piling.
it was cribbs causeway with jess and emily yesterday. i bought a jacket from H&M, and spent about 20pounds on groceries and snacks! i resolve not to buy anymore snacks/ junk food until Dublin!
five tutorials this week, FML. :(
i know it's a friday night and not totally cool to be emo but this song really makes me miss home! :( i miss my parents especially! this song is about a daddy's girl growing up. somehow, i can almost relate to it. i still wanna be pampered, be driven around, and have all things going my way, even when i'm like 10000miles away from home. sigh.
needless to say, i know i have the best daddy in the world - no qualms about it! + the best mummy too!!! NOW, I GOT THE INSPIRATION TO MUG!
Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle
There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's
daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and
I thank god for all the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her
hair; "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
In all that I've done wrong I know I must
have done something right to deserve a hug
every morning and butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking
little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if you
don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done
something right to deserve her love every morning
and butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not
sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk my down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have
done something right.
To deserve your love every morning and butterfly
kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.
will be heading to Dublin for a weekend trip in a few weeks! YAAAAAY! :D
the fact that i'm posting so many times today just shows one thing: I AM BORED. i can't believe i'm saying this actually, probably because being a law student has kept me waaaay busy for too long a time. i guess i should really treasure these bored moments because i don't know when's e next time i can even get the chance to feel bored, given the pile of readings and stuff. but anyway, just to clarify, i'm bored because i am putting aside my tutorial, and putting aside the need to browse thru lecture slides etc etc. hehe no uni student would be that free, much less law student. but i mean, hey, who does work after slogging for the past few days/weeks? everyone needs a break right. haha i shall watch some shows on bbc iplayer and indulge in my bailey's ice cream with warm chocolate pudding.
after submitting my coursework this morning, i headed out to view some studio apartments and then grocery shopping! marks&spencer + tesco = my room is filled with snacks and chocolates! i spent a good 15quid on biscuits, liquer chocolates, a pint of haagen daaz's ice cream (bailey's flavour!), two tubs of rocky roadsters, chocolate pudding and fruits! that translates to about S$35! haha i think i'm definitely gonna grow fat at this rate. should reaaaaally start working out at the gym soon! maybe tmr or friday. hahahaha.
i'm gonna slack away tonight! really needa give myself a break after the exams and courseworks over the past few weeks. big bang theory + chips + chocolate pudding topped with bailey's ice creammm = bliss/sin.
FINALLY DONE WITH COURSEWORKKKK! my second piece of 2500words essay!
YAAAAAAY. no more courseworks till after Easter! (((((:
i should really give myself a treat tmr. i feel like i've neglected myself terribly ever since returning from sg cos of all the mid-sessionals and courseworks. geez.
Vanilla Twilight - Owl City
The stars lean down to kiss you,
And I lie awake I miss you,
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'll send a postcard to you dear,
Cause I wish you were here.
I watch the night turn light blue,
But it's not the same without you,
Because it takes two to whisper quietly,
The silence isn't so bad,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly.
I'll find repose new ways,
Though I haven't slept in two days,
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
But drenched in Vanilla twilight,
I'll sit on the front porch all night,
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight.
I'll think of you tonight.
When violet eyes get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
But I swear I won't forget you,
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past,
I'd whisper in your ear,
Oh darling I wish you were here
i love this song, it's so sweeeet! (:
i've come to realise that, my property law coursework is due next wed instead of mon! yay that means two more days to procrastinate.
all of a sudden, i feel like clubbing! there's a party at Panache tonight, free for ladies before 11 + free shots all night! ahhhh. i wanna gooo but nooo i can't, my crim tutorial's tmr and i have zilch knowledge on non-fatal offences. urgh!
okay this poster that i've newly hung up on my wall shall be my inspiration.
ben & jerry's + big bang theory = satisfied.
good night world (:
now back to the essayyyyy... i'm over the word limit now, gotta make it more concise. but also gotta include more cases to support my arguments.
//edit: 4.45pm now looks like 4pm last month = spring is comingggg! (:
yesterday, i lost my phone while playing with snow at brandon hill. i had it in my pocket but somehow, it fell out and i didn't realise it until we were about to leave. then we started combing the areas that we played at, twice, but both were futile, given the thick layer of snow on the ground plus fresh snow that kept falling. i was really upset. this morning at 8.30am, i asked clement to accompany me up to brandon hill to search again since some snow had melted. he kindly agreed and after an hour, it was still fruitless so i headed back, resigned to getting a new phone. the thought of spending my parents' money... i felt guilty esp since all these expenditures would have been in sterling pounds. i got a slight shelling from my mom over the webcam yday afternoon after i reported the loss, whilst my dad simply told me to get whatever phone i wanted with a contract here. ( even the blackberry! ) of course, a blackberry sounded great but somehow, a part of me refused to spend that money. i felt bad for spending my parents' hard earned money just like that. due to a moment's folly which could obviously have been prevented if i had listened to my instincts and put my phone in iggy's bag instead of just popping it into my pocket which didn't even have a zip... even when clement's phone and keys dropped in the snow a couple of times, i didn't bother to check if my phone was still in my pocket cos i was busy playing, throwing snowballs and making snowmen... i was just too careless.
then this evening when i got back from lecture, my brother emailed me saying that someone had found my phone and had called him. i was over the moon. clement accompanied me to the person's place to collect my phone and phew, it was and still is working perfectly well. in exchange for e phone, i gave her a box of cherry liquers!
i feel really lucky. firstly, amidst the snow in a huge place the size of MacRitchie, it is difficult in itself to find a small object. secondly, the chances of someone finding it were really slim. and thirdly, the odds of a kind honest soul picking it up were far lower.
i am absolutely ecstatic to get my phone back. this alleviates all the troubles of having to get a new phone and signing a 24-month contract and blah blah blah. THANK GOD FOR THIS MIRACULOUS OUTCOME OF EVENT
law & state sucks. the seminars are not helpful at all... the coursework is just boring and dry, i barely knew how start. but thank God for my parents cos over webcam, i told them e question and we had a 20-minute long discussion abt it. thank God that i have such educated parents who are in sync with current affairs and global matters, adept with critical analysis skills. so they got me started on a bit though i still have loads to do on my own, like finding points to substantiate and blah blah. 2500 words of this dull fuckened topic that is of no practical relevance to me; certainly no easy feat.
less than a week left to do it. WHY AM I STILL PROCRASTINATING!
mahjong tonight at clement's place. i still can't believe he bought the tiles for 46 freaking pounds. that's about S$110 for a set. daylight robbery.
