as you can see, i've changed the pictures on my blog! feeling rather satisfied with myself now, for successfully learning how to edit the html slightly! haha, actually it's just copy and pasting from instructions online, replacing old image urls with new ones and playing around with the positioning of the images..
another reason why i'm proud of this new layout is cos the photos were all taken by yours truly! as compared to the previous collage which was made up of photos which i koped from the internet! hehe..my new collage is not as dramatically coloured nor as professionally taken, but i guess it's more representative of myself? i chose photos of earthly colours cos i personally like the simple yet melancholic feel they bring about..
will strive to take better photos with time, and hope to update this layout with nicer photos in the future! hehe

counting down...
exactly 2 weeks left before i start working, and am feeling rather jittery yet nostalgic that my slack, no-worries days are coming to an end..even though i kinda completed most of my holiday tasks (i decided to remove the scrapbook task hehe) and have nothing really constructive to fill my time with, i'm enjoying the feeling of being a useless bum who rots her day away alone at home!
as i type this now, naughty kiwi has burrowed herself in between my body and bolster to sleep! tried to introduce her to playing with water. she's interested in the water, but not having to stand in the container..but i can tell she's slowly getting there! but sigh, she's still NOT weaned yet! still have to feed her twice everyday..she doesn't seem to be eating the seeds on her own!! i need some help here...
it's been a year since michael jackson left, and i still feel sad each time i think of him..i try to avoid listening to his music, watching his videos, so that i will not start thinking about how such a good man led an undeserving unfair life all over again..i just can't get over the fact that the cruel world will never have a chance to make amends to him...
i also don't wanna get obsessed over him all over again! it's too tiring hehe...like when girls watch idol dramas and start being obsessed with the suave male lead, even though it's painful cos we know we will never be able to get closer to these perfect men, we all know at the back of our minds that the characters are just fictional..but here, mj is a real, living man with all these idol drama qualities- kind, sensitive, gentlemanly, generous, talented, super intelligent, handsome (before plastic surgery)! how could someone like this exist?? my only hope is for more and more people to discover the truth about him and dispel all their misconceptions...
went for session on saturday..thumbs up to the new volunteer sharing initiative by agnes..she's really amazing..the passion to make a difference and the energy to carry it through..hope the next comm can materialise the ideas discussed, even though some of them were still rather general and abstract at the discussion stage..i was particularly moved during the 'kbox' sing-a-long session when they played the theresa teng song..i was surprised that soooo many of our trainees knew how to sing it, they even knew the lyrics by hard! they excitedly came forward, stood right in front of the screen, and chorused with such enthusiasm..they seemed almost like a choir! that got me thinking if they really liked those more 'kiddy' but catchy songs we often chose for them, or they would prefer oldies like these that were familiar and close to their hearts..hmm
played l4d2 after session at clementi..each time we go there with only 4 players we'll surely be owned by some super zai players who'll play against us on the other team..that was wad happened on saturday again!! after one map, we decided to start our own versus game cos we were too lousy, but those zai people joined us AGAIN!! this time zk, i, diana and yangyang split up so that the teams will be more balanced..this guy called 'ANGRY BIRD NOW VERY ANGRY' joined my team, and my, i'm thinking of him till now! aggressive as his nick sounded, he was super nice and actually bothered to give us typed instructions & guided us on how to play! super pro..but i think we disappointed him time and time again as we failed to execute his instructions! he even said 'later i show you all where to camp, just follow me' for the map that we NEVER could get pass in all our earlier games cos we always stationed ourselves at the wrong place..it was like an ENLIGHTENMENT! never knew there was such a corner in the mansion..i feel a pity that we didn't go over and make friends with him, and thank him for the tutorial he so patiently gave..he seems like a really nice guy! hope to bump into him the next time we go there to play! :)
supposed to go shopping (YES, shopping! hehe) with diana dear today but she's not feeling well so here i am at home, hope you get well soon dear!
i shall blog about PEI PEI'S MAKEOVER NEXT, LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE GIRLY SIDE OF PEIPEI YOU NEVER KNEW! hehehehe :D

sweet dreams...
i was using my lappy on my bed, and after an hour of active playing around (and shitting) on my bed & nibbling my stuff, kiwi settles in between my legs and falls asleep with her claw in her mouth! *heart melts*

will you grow old with me?
hehe it's supposedly our 4th anniversary tmr, but i don't feel excited or that it's a special day! think i've gotten over counting our years together, or deeming it a milestone to have reached another year together. i don't see the need to celebrate (even our birthday) or to give presents to each other. if i feel he needs sth, i'll just get it for him whether or not there is an occasion, but it applies otherwise too. if there is a special occasion but i can't think of anything he needs or would like to have, i won't bother too. we didn't give each other birthday presents last year too! we're too lazy! hahaha..i've become too settled in the routine life that we have developed!

not that i'm not contented with this relationship of course. i feel more than blessed! :)
zk's reservist starts tmr, so he's not free anyway!! not my fault haha...he said i agreed to plan this year's anniversary, but i don't remember making that promise at all! but i told him i'm too lazy! hahaha...
but still, i'm grateful for what we share, the fact that i can be at my ugliest (emotionally and physically) and yet still feel wanted. we've had our fair share of arguments, some really bad ones, but i think we're slowly easing over that phase..
i'll soon be progressing to another stage in my life- as a working adult! i'm confident that it won't change things much, just like how we saw each other through your army, and my uni life. now it's your turn to mug the weekends away! haha..
here's to all our years to come! :)

true liberationnnn :D
even though i'm feeling rather groggy and sleepy now, i felt so motivated to express the overwhelming feeling of LIBERATION i'm now feeling!
instead of feeling relieved after my very last NTU paper, i felt even more stressed than before it! cos i'd been putting off mugging for the cfa exam till then, and i could already imagine how stressed i'd be trying to race against time, especially since i essentially had only 2 weeks to memorise 6 textbooks after taking away the 2 weeks i went on holiday with my family!
i even brought a tb overseas to mug, not that it was very productive though..but i kinda detested the nagging feeling that when we were not on the roads, i should be intensively flipping the tb instead of just chilling out and lazing around in the guesthouses..i didn't like the feeling that i couldn't slack when i'd ought to have! still, being on a holiday kinda numbed the stress and the pressurising feeling of time being too tight felt more distant than pressing..this i appreciated during the trip, but certainly not when i returned to singapore and realised the mess i was in!!
staying at home every single day (not exagerrating) for 2 weeks (except to celebrate daddy's birthday & buy kiwi!), bringing my textbooks everywhere i go around the house! super no life right..but somehow i didn't even feel deprived of not going out at all! maybe cos i'm quite a stay-at-home person..my indulgences were playing with kiwi (my new pet bird) and researching on google about sun conures (kiwi's breed)..i would get hooked on reading site after site, relishing in learning about other owners' sweet experiences with their sun conures, and also how to take care of them..
i'll write more about kiwi in another post!
so anyway....i've really been looking forward to this day..when i can TRULY SLACK AND DO WHATEVER I WANT FOR ONE MONTH (before i start contributing to the productivity of singapore's labour force on 12th july!)...now THIS was what i was supposed to feel on 5th may after AA306 paper!! hahaha
my mind is filled with sooooo many things i have to do, that i don't even think one month is enough! but i'm excited to start on my various tasks (hmm except packing my room and having to throw out notes that i've kept since secondary school- i guess i will never need them in my life anymore? but i like to keep them so that when i go through them in future, i can remember how it was taught in my classroom, and i'll instantly be transported back in time to those moments when i was a young student; i'll remember events, people that surrounded my attendance of that particular lesson..it really helps jolt awake memories that would otherwise be hidden in the recesses of my brain..)
my holiday tasks *exciteddd*:
well anyway i wanted to thank those very sweet friends who messaged me to wish me luck for the exam..i felt touched yet ashamed at the same time cos it seems as though i've been too whiney and attracted too much attention that so many people would know and remember it..but i didn't know how else to explain my absence from sessions or why i couldn't meet up with other friends; when i said i have to study for an exam, ppl would naturally ask what exam..and i felt that only by letting my friends know the stress of it could i make up for the fact that i appeared 'too busy for them'??
but thank you sinnie (whom i love keeping in touch with), diana dear (who sweetly came over to my house twice just to accompany me while she was so bored!), jingjing, chujie, yaoyao, peipei, xiuxia, cb, edmund, reuben (haha i didn't even noe how you knew about it la!), zq, pillow, and kezia (who sent me an internet sms all the way from new york! hehe) for making my otherwise usually dead handphone more lively for once!
friends who are free, i'm available all the time if you need someone for company! :D

my holiday tasks *exciteddd*:
- overdue birthday presents
- sort out UK photos + select for developing + scrapbook! think this will take up almost half my holidays already
- pack room; clear stacks of notes cluttering up my floor
- clear old clothes
- bond with kiwi, and sunsun of cos- hope to establish a strong foundation for my relationship with kiwi, for her to be a good girl, and also to adjust well to my reduced presence once i start working. would hope to teach her some basic commands, like stepping up on to my hand not only when she wants to play + introduce her to more foods (currently i'm still handfeeding her as she's still a baby!)
- meet up with my close friends!
- L4D2!!
