犬と私の10の約束

Course registration drives me mad!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRR. And I hit my mouse button with a vengeance, not demurely in the least. My laptop's enter key and mousepad button will never be the same again. Anyway I got 3 modules with as MinLi+Shumin, 1 module with ZY, SuHui and Jo. I will miss Prof Chua!!! ;_;
Watched 10 Promises to my Dog yesterday! I WANT A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like malteses... (not because of maltesers ok) Jaslyn said her grandma got a maltese a week ago... So cute... -faints- But I don't wanna wait till I'm an old grandma to get a dog... ;_; Anyway, malteses are good apartment dogs! So I'll wait till I get my own hovel. XD

Next time I wanna watch 僕の彼女はサイボーグ (literally My Girlfriend is a Cyborg, or the English title, Cyborg Girl). There's Keisuke as the male lead, he was the 2nd boyfriend in Koizora. ^^

Ok I'm gonna practise my violin now, I just got new packages but I'm too depressed over my sucky timetable to unveil them, blahhhhhh.

if you're lost you can look and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
time after time

I've been playing this since watching that episode of Lost where Ben Linus plays a couple of bars of it on the piano. Watching an Ocean's Eleven re-run on TV also made me want to play Clair de Lune!

Till next time -

Say Bonjour to Bob L'eponge!
I think by now most people would have known that I'm learning the violin!


I just love how the f-hole looks... ^^ I know some weird people will think it looks like an integral sign ∫ or something, but it's F! (For Fiona!!) :D

This is just a cheap violin, you can see all the rosin dust there. I love how the rosin dust flies when the bow is pulled across the strings, it's so beautiful (if you can ignore the horrible sounds I make hahaha). My sister was away, so I picked out this violin myself from our dusty collection without knowing it was a cheap one and hadn't been played in more than 10 years. (I mistook it for my dad's old one which is more expensive and better in quality.) My teacher was so horrified when she looked at it, cos it was totally out of tune and the bow wasn't rosined. Hahaha!

I bought a shoulder rest as well; apparently I have a long neck (yay!) lol. My mom said I sounded better than my sister when she just started, but she didn't realise I was just playing open string. When you press down on different keys, the tension will be different, which makes amateurs sound bad. :P It's just technique though, which can be easily mastered through practice! (I realise I always make things sound easy, haha!)

Went to Daiso yesterday, bought more origami paper, a pancake/fried egg mould and a chopsticks case!

Yesterday I also went to this hotel where there's a buffet table and everyone was cutting the queue and everything. A stupid auntie tried to cut my queue and I said loudly in an overly-bright tone with a humongous grin pasted on my face, "Um, I think the queue starts over there?" pointing way behind me. Stupid woman got the hint. I was like, nyah nyah nyah nyaaa nyaaaa!!! (in my head, of course!) I can't stand people like that.

Anyway here's a couple more photos of the bakchoy.



Day 8
Day 10And this is a tomato plant!

Yea... I've been playing with the macro mode of my camera a lot. :P

Bok Choy

Before my sister went overseas, she told me to water her bokchoy for her, one tablespoon every two days. She'd just planted them the day before. -_-U Well done! So it's all up to me to take care of them in the crucial stage.

day 1

day 2

day 3

day 5

day 6
I love Day 6's the most, don't you love the way the sunlight filters through the leaves? It looks a bit like a four leaf clover too!

She's coming back on Wednesday so my work will be done soon. Bok choy can be harvested in 45 days! (If you have no idea what bokchoy is, my mom says it's xiao bai cai!)

Today I went for senior camp. My first time back at Hall 15 in 2 months. :P

ジャスリンさん の 誕生日

Chocolate-banana cake from Secret Recipe. We tried to explain to Kawaguchi-sensei, and she was like, "Eh?" cos she thought the recipe was secret, then we were like, that's the shop's name!
Potato chips. :D
Jaslyn's house is very pretty! This isn't her house, but we went to visit her house which was a couple of blocks away and she has a mini-walk-in-closet which was cool!

Sensei came over after work and we chatted and came up with stuff like Takoyaki-mura (Takuya Kimura). HAHAHA. And she likes Ikuta Toma too, YAYYYY. One thing I found interesting was that she found it funny that we call little girls and boys "Ah-Girl" and "Ah-Boy", and after thinking about it, it is kinda strange! Imagine saying "Onna-no-ko" or "Otoko-no-ko" to little Japanese kids. Imagine saying "Xiao-Nu-Hai" or "Xiao-Nan-Hai" to little Chinese kids. Weird! Then again, it's our little piece of Singaporean 'culture'. Haha! I find talking like that really helps me to remember vocabulary and sentence structures, but they're half a term ahead of me, so some words I'm not familiar with.

I doubt I'll have a 21st birthday party myself, I've talked to my mom about exchanging it for a plane trip. Who wants to go tour with me next December? :D

Project-mates!

Mushroom and Chicken Potpie - mine! With salad and iced tea... I liked the iced tea, but the others didn't though...
Su Hui and Jolencia had clam chowder and prawn wraps...
Zhi Yu had the mushroom soup that my sis loves so much -_-U She says it's good though... I still haven't tried it! Haha. Min Li had the Tokyo Chicken Stew which my younger sis and I love! Don't have a photo, but it tastes better than it looks! Plus I think it's the least fattening soup. :P
Me and the woman who just came back from Shanghai and bought like 7 bags and who got an $80 haircut and thinks an $80 haircut has better value than an $80 pair of shoes. Haha! Omg her Shanghai days sound so funny...
Yayness! (I'm out of creativity for captions if you can't tell)
Her 1st photo which she didn't want cos she thought it wasn't cute enuff.
Her 2nd photo which she was reasonably satisfied with but why is there a strange guy behind?

Therefore, I present to you the ultimate cuteness!!! :D [They didn't want to take neoprints cos they said it's childish, BOO! And they said I could decorate it in photoshop so here you go hahaha!!! And it's tiny too! I have the bigger version also hahahahaha.]

I seriously had a great day today... Thanks to Min Li for organising everything! We had dinner at The Soup Spoon at Bugis (my recommendation haha but I'll still go to the Paragon one next time) and shopped around and I bought 6 tops in total, with lots of camisoles, whee!

And we went to Bugis Street as well and it was very fun, we kept looking at sweet flowery country-ish things that both Min Li and I like. XD And I bought a puff-sleeved top that I liked for my younger sister (cos I don't like puff sleeves, but I just liked the design cos it had tailored stripes and grosgrain ribbons), and I told her it was her birthday present even though her birthday's in like October like me. Hahaha!!! Nah I'll probably get her something on impulse again next time.

Anyway Min Li and Su Hui say that there's this module we're taking next sem in which we'll probably need to wear makeup (for presentations?) and wear formal attire. The information kind of soothes my conscience which was kind of disturbed for having spent so much on cosmetics and stuff. :(

I popped by the Anna Sui counter today to take a look at the flat-top blusher brush, it's so pretty and soft!!! I haven't tried it at blending though... I think I might get it next month. The term holidays and senior camp this weekend mean that I work less and thus earn less, so I have to restrain myself. :( Photos of my past hauls soon! :D

I LOVE MY APPLE!

I love apples!

Oops, wrong photo, sorry. :P I love Apples!

I made my own handcrafted felt badges to profess my love!

The classic white Ipod which is my personal favourite cos it looks so minimalist and Zen and pretty, and matches my plain no-frills Muji stuff!

The Red U2 Ipod! Hahaha!

The discontinued pink Ipod Mini - I wish I had it, it was really cute. (The photo's a little blur but it's because it's taken with an old digital camera of mine.)

And the green Ipod mini! I love pink and green. ^^ I really love the shape and design of the old Ipod minis, I think they're way cuter than the Nanos!

I get a lot of people asking me why I bought the classic Ipod instead of the Nanos. I can't really explain, it's probably cos I wanted to put loads of stuff into it, but anyway, it's just simply... classic! And I got the Apple radio add-on for it too! And it's very useful, I know my friend loaded the entire contents of her hard drive into her Apple when her computer crashed. Imagine that!

Then again, I might get a Nano one day cos it's flash-based so you can actually exercise with it. (Mine is hard-disk based.) Plus it looks like a candy bar! And it goes with the Nike + Ipod Sport Kit which is way cool... but I'll probably have to start jogging regularly first. -cough cough-

So anyway... J'adore la Pomme! (I love Apple!)
