Redecorating

Redecorating is a tideous task, and furniture shopping is no means less easy -- fun though, if you have the time to spare.

FINALLY purchased a new bed, new mattress, new pillows, new quilt and new bed sheets!

On another note, I know Gossip Girl is known for it's gorgeous clothes but did anyone ever notice the interior design as well? 

Bug

The Bug that was in my room the ENTIRE night

The picture is supposed to be rotated the other way round, but I was sooo proud of myself for trapping the Bug for a whole night between my SKII Miracle water and my Tommy Girl and Saphora Make-up Remover.

DCF Weekend

The B&F/DCF weekend is Finally over. Surprisingly, despite the 15-hour workdays, I found it rather fun. I'm seriously thinking I'm in the wrong profession right now.

A few snapshots from our DCF weekend:

At Mig's:

The people who saw our whiteboard: "what are you guys doing? Building an atomic bomb?"

(you have to realise that a reason why most of the people in law school choose to do law is because they have a phobia for numbers".

Our Post-B&F Celebrations

Seriously, you guys were the best people to work with. We make a great team. You guys made me realise that if a bunch of people with a lack of mathematical skills (and A level math) can decipher a finance formula in such a short period of time, we can pretty much do anything.

Love you all! =)

broken bed

My bed broke. And now I have to sleep on the floor, with the broken bed next to me. 

How do I get rid of a broken bed?

teenage angst

The teenage angst is back.

and I'm absolutely hating my life right now.

boredom

I've been incredibly bored -- with life in general. The feeling of emptiness is back. And, a lack of meaning in life. These days, the most dreadful thing is waking up in the mornings. Sounds all to familiar to me. I have problems waking up at even 12 in the afternoon and the day seems to pass by so quickly, with nothing accomplished -- it's one thing to be non-productive, and another not to derive any satisfaction out of the non-productivity of the day (if it makes any sense at all). And it gets worse when the work load is piling up, deadlines are drawing near, and the exams are round the (not too big) corner. 

I need something to look forward to when I wake up everyday.

the sweet escape

This happened quite sometime back, but it is probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.

After coming back from the UK, I've been wanting to take a little break from the city, and escape to a beach resort for a weekend. We tried planning a trip to Malaysia (that failed), to Bintan (but it was fully booked for the entire weekend! every single decently priced hotel. can you believe it!), and to Sentosa (all of which never happened). And then, school started.

So, for our 3rd year anniversary, the clever boy decided to surprise me with a sweet escape to our island of fun! It was two days and one night of total bliss, serenity, and the sea. The sweetest thing was how he planned the sweet getaway just when I needed it the most, and actually thought of bringing all my favourites!

We stayed at the Siloso Beach Resort that was absolutely lovely. We got the garden suite that had a four pillar bed (my favourite!) and a roof top terrace that came with an outdoor jacuzzi overlooking the sea, an outdoor shower, and two comfy deckchairs -- where we spent the afternoon munching on brie and sipping lots and lots of Moscato (my new-found summer love!).  Mig fell in love with the roof top terrace the moment he saw it -- I swear it's his dream home.

The poolside was absolutely amazing and the entire place was the perfect sync between a holiday resort/hotel and a home. It was quiet, very private, yet cosy and peaceful all at the same time. And, it made Mig's eyes light up -- because it had a slide!

Then, it was dinner at Barnacles overlooking the sunset. The food was delicious and the view was picture perfect. They even had those bands that go round the tables playing songs specially for you. Although we were in still Singapore, it definitely felt like a very very sweet escape.

The next day, we decided to make full use of our day in Sentosa and check out the Underwater World! Neither of us had been there since we were kids so it was good fun! My favourite, though, was the Dolphin Lagoon where I instantly fell in love with those wonderful creatures. Watching them gliding around in the water and flapping their flippers makes you really want to kill all those oil tankers out at sea that are polluting the waters and killing all the dolphins.

I swear, my heart melted when they started playing When I look into your eyes and these babies were out there playing in the water with the lucky volunteer who got to go into the water with them. I soo wanted to volunteer myself, but they only picked the guys because your entire body would get wet and plus, and I figured they wouldn't choose me anyway because I was wearing a dress. So, instead, I spent a good 15 bucks to take a photo with the two most amazing creatures in the world.

I rode a bike today.

A friend was kind enough to take me out for a spin/lunch on his motorbike and it was a rather thrilling experience. I don't think I make a very good passenger -- I kept screaming "slow down!", "stop cutting in between cars!" and "ahhhhHH!". The wind kept blowing into my eyes, that made my contacts really really dry, and I was so afraid I would somehow topple the bike over, or a car would hit us and we did not have any metal as protection. 

But, the road looks very different on a bike, than it normally does from inside a car. 'Living on the edge' (as he calls it). Strangely, you see things from a different point of view.
