Carpe Diem: seize the day!

Carpe Diem: seize the day!


Hi, how have you been doing? I've been happy nevermind the fact that my throat's still sore and I've got a bit of the flu. Why? I'm done with work! From last friday 6:00pm to be exact! =D Weehoo! So this is the last week before I get back to school. I intend to make it a helluva week. Squeezing in all last minute meet-ups with everybody I haven't got a chance to meet yet, settle all the admin stuff, plan birthdays (for my grandma), read books (I've started re-reading the 1st Harry Potter book. Did you know that Harry's hair will regrow overnight should he cut it? Ah, memory refresher), watch all those VCDs n DVDs I've bought/borrowed but never got to watching and shoppp some more! And cycling! One last week mah! I am not excited about the idea of getting back to school, but I suppose it beats working, so I'm grateful. And with Kiran having a car now, atleast we can go gallavanting after school and during our breaks! Tsk tsk, what a mindset to start school with.

Okay before I go on, I think I just wanna say that NUS Biz sch may indeed be trying to seek redemption for their sucky bidding system, cos now atleast the vacancies in the core modules I couldn't previously get are open to business students. But of course, the bid points are sky high. I've just placed a 750 points bid for Managerial Acctg, and to think that I detest Accounting. Okay, will just have to wait and see.

Other updates, I met up with Max after a good 2 years of MIA-ing! Hahaha, and I didn't take any photos unfortunately. But it was still fun, he's an assistant chef at the Raffles Town Club lah! Life is so full of surprises.

And yesterday, yesterday was a very special day. Did you know it was supposed to be Friendship's Day yesterday? Atleast my friend Milin from India says so. But friendship day or not, it definitely was a Friendship kinda day for me. :)

Was supposed to meet Nadz,mairah,juju at east coast at 11am for the picnic cum cycling cum swimming get-together. I woke up at 10:30am cos I was dreaming about them. It was a way funny dream cos we were going from house to house selling JUBAHS. And we ended up at Naseem's house, only to be told off by her mum. This I dreamed of, despite never having visited Naseem's house, or never having met her mum before. Her mum said some hurtful things like how we don't deserve to sell jubahs when we're not that religious or smtg, which may be a description befitting for me, but not at all apt for the rest of my 3 religious friends.

Then, I remember us walking away feeling really hurt, and taking the lift down before Mairah said," Hey let's go pray Maghrib". I suppose that was my mind's way of telling me I'm going to be really late, cos I woke up next. Rushed as fast as I could, only to reach marine parade at 12noon. My two others rahs were late, FOR ONCE! ok revise that, I was early FOR ONCE. muahahaha.

Anyway after nearly an hour of figuring out how to get to each other, cos we were all stuck at different parts in Marine Parade, we were soon happily settled down in my tent, with loads of junk, high calorie, but nonetheless, feel good finger food cataching up on what really is a whole year of stories and love-life developments. It was an honest, hearts and souls baring conversation that lasted a few hours, and which ended in tears at some point. I don't think I'll forget this ever. I love these girls way too much.:) Nadz had to leave soon enough, and after some photos (which I don't have yet but will post as soon as I have) we left.

Kai fetched mairah and I from the marine parade lib and mairah took over the wheels, while I was dumped to the back seat feeling like some rich tauke. Ah, the benefits of being licence-less.;)

I had tuition next which was more tiring than usual. Then I met susu who was also in pasir ris of cos (since she lives there). We were on the phone trying to figure out where in pasir-ris we both were, walking aimlessly in the dark, squinting for landmarks and street signs, before we finally met at block 190. It was so funny how we were both so lost, and how susu is quite tak boleh harap even when she's the one living in pasir ris! We walked to her house, talking all the way under the moonlight. Then she got changed and we left for white sands for another long heart-to-heart talk over our hotplates dinner at Cavana.

Friends like these are forever. :)

Okay, now for the many photos I promised two entries ago, but never got to doing cos I've been way too lazy. For ameera especially, see I wasn't bedek-ing, not for long anyway.

I think I 've eaten enough donuts to do a donut critic already. My verdict,the most worth your money and time donuts: Dunkin Donuts. And now you can get them delivered to S'pore. (Donut Factory's donuts are good, but not worth the wait ah)
