It's always during exam period that I think of the things that I want to do during the holidays. And then end up not doing much of what I wanted to do initially. 

Common test starts next week (actually it should be this week since it was biz law paper today- yes the exam was on a Sat). Can't wait for Friday, the last paper to come. Itching to do so many things during the holidays- ok not very much actually, since it's just a 2 week break. But there's 3 main things that I want to do: 

1. Go KL.

2. Jog! Jurong Lake run is happening next month.

3. Read. I haven't read a storybook since school started. Miss reading so much.

As I'm typing this ma has probably fetched gran & siew yee. Really excited to see them later! Especially gran- she's just someone so precious to me. More important than anyone else- to be honest, these past few days have been so depressing for me to know about her state of health. I want her to watch me get my driving license and drive her around. Turn 21 so I can accompany her to the casino. Get my first pay check and give her part of my salary. So many things that I want her to see me do.

I feel so loved and cherished even though I'm just a girl, and her maternal granddaughter at that- each and every one of her grandchildren get the same equal treatment from her. Whether you are a boy or girl, maternal or paternal grandchild or not, no one is favored over another.

Agree with Shema's words in her blog so much- "Trust is a luxury I could not afford just to give to everyone. I do believe it has to be earned." I don't know when did I have come to become so skeptical to others, but since entering poly, I have become so conscious of myself as well. Even I myself am astonished by the rate I'm opening up. 

Trust, so difficult to gain, yet so easy to lose. 

My face looks weird in the pic above, but I'm too lazy to edit it. Picnik has been closed down :( & I don't know how to use photoshop. So yeah. Main intention is to show you that I'm jumping. Lollol. 

Some big-ass pictures of myself. In case you're wondering why I'm so zilian in this post today, blame it all on Alicia. That woman never fails to make me take a few pictures every time I see her. Even so when we don't see each other often now, except for our monthly dental appointments.

I think Jcube's rooftop has become our new spot to take pictures after dental. It was at this photo-id machine near the dental clinic previously.

Deleted my Fb a few days ago. It changed my profile to timeline & made it go live after a week, which I really, really, hate. Not everyone likes to give a blow-by-blow account what they've done so far in their lives from the day that they were born. So i quit it- I have to admit that it's a little weird to see your friends going on fb & tutors posting updates on Facebook groups. Then I'll have to tell myself, hey I don't have a fb! Definitely not a very good feeling but at least I won't waste time scrolling and reading through newsfeeds anymore. Nor waste time playing lame games.

Amazing how time has flown by since school started. Week 5 of school is over & it's e-learning for the whole of next week, except for IS. I don't want it to go by so fast please. Reluctant to let time spent with the  nice people I've been spending time with go so fast. 

Poly graduation ceremonies will be held next week; I shudder to think of the fact that I'll be the one going through that ceremony in 3 years' time.

Participated in the FUN trail as a facilitator today. It was really tiring as usual- was planning to take a nap after my shower, but got energized after video-chatting with Eunice and taking each other on a tour of our houses.

I wish I had a way to cut through hearts, to have a path to see the truth.

当一扇心灵的窗口渐渐向您避上时，你会怎么做？

时间一点一滴的旋转，把从前以为是最遥远，最畏惧以久的那一天，静悄悄地拉近。

而这个距离，没有办法再拖延。

It's amazing how small Singapore is but yet there are places out there that we've never been to before.

Happened to stumble upon this place, berlayer creek, while on an outing with Kapui to Alexandra Arc. It's one of the only two shopping malls that she hasn't been to in Singapore, along with eastpoint mall. Yes, she's been to ALL the malls here. Definitely more of a Singaporean I am, although both of us are Singaporeans. 

Some pics of the place to fill this post up. The scenery was nothing to wow about at the start of the trail when we went in there from Labrador park mrt, just mangroves after mangroves. But it's a very quiet place, probably because it's rather ulu. Just bungalows, forests and a vast field on the right of the trail. 

I remember the guide during the bio trip to pulau semakau last year telling us that mangroves breathe and take in oxygen through  branches that emerge from the ground. I've never looked at mangroves the same way ever since. The many branches sticking out makes me think that they are noses sticking out from the mud. 

Views from one of the two lookout points along the trail. There's nothing much to see actually (to me la) since it's just trees, trees and more trees. Or rather, mangroves. Maybe it's because I'm not a very nature kind of girl. There was this elderly couple who was went to the lookout point before us, but were walking behind us afterwards, because they just stared at the 'scenery' at the lookout point for a good 10 minutes. #truestory

The view from Bukit Chermin broadwalk 0.9km into the berlayer creek trail.

Berlayer creek is linked to Labrador park and can be seen at the Bukit Chermin broadwalk. 

BFF meal at The Soup Spoon with kapui at Alexandra arch. Sad to say, we didn't finish everything up cos we were too full. Kapui had to tapao the sandwich home.

Gosh how am I going to finish a 700 word blog on the studio apartments in Toh Yi Drive. I should've cut and kept the commentaries, articles and letters in the newspapers on the topic.

On another note, Mr Tan wrote that I should continue honing my writing skills even after graduation. Maybe I should just take it as an opportunity to practice.

My cantonese is in rapid decline. Called erjie today just to converse with her in cantonese and both of us couldn't finish the whole conversation in cantonese. Sigh.
