Take A Bow x Rihanna

Last week was pretty power packed.. and even though most of it was due to work, it was so totally worth it, because pay comes in any day now =)

On one of two from the now seemingly few off days I managed to secure, I woke up as early as 5.30 a.m. to get ready for my island getaway with my two ladies, Ms. Lala & Ms. Linda.

Linda said and I quote, "Ohmygawd... I bought all this with only 150 Sing dollars!? I could only get maybe 2 Dorothy Perkins tops back home!" *big grin breaks out on face*

We shopped blazed through 4 big malls in 12 hours, got everything we needed wanted and hopped back on the ferry back home.
We bought so much stuff it's a surprise we managed to keep ourselves within budget.

The pièce de résistance of the day?

A hearty meal at A&W, complete with strawberry and ice cream waffles, 3 huge jugs of Root Beer Floats and the works.

We got back to Singapore about 5 minutes shy from 11pm

On the off day I got before the island getaway, Mr. Rain and I went on out to do what broke people will do : window shop, hop on the free Funvee open top bus to Singapore Flyer and indulge on a fanfreakingtastic meal at Popeye's.

On Funvee... forget about splurging money on Hippo tours, this, my friend, is FREE.

At flyer... which I'm half hearted to take, because it takes so damn bloody long to get off ride and everyone I know said it's pretty "mendak" (read: humdrum).

After Popeye's, taking a look at the Build A Bear Workshop there and generally planning what we would buy with our next pay, we hopped on home, more broke than ever, but happy.

This week, come Friday, Han and I will be spending our last monthsary before Ramadhan comes around and before he spends 1 year 11 months of his life serving the Nation.
This Friday, it's gotta be special.
This Friday, marks the end of the 7 month vacation period I got, because come Monday, I'm a full time student again.

I'm ready.

Party People x Nelly Feat. Fergie

School orientation was interesting, to say the least.
Being totally hopeless in heels, I was one of the few who didn't teeter about in 3 inch spike heels accompanied with a full face of one inch thick make-up.

I wonder how my classmates are gonna be like when semester finally starts on the 4th of August.
I'm gonna have 3 hour lectures/tutorials almost everyday with Caucasian lecturers for a month before we switch to local lecturers.

And I got myself a pencil case.
You know, to put pens and pencils in... which is extremely awkward, considering I've been studying in a "paperless campus" environment for the past 3 years.

My class schedule and booklist will be released tomorrow, which gives me extreme stress, but everyone who knows me knows I'm a "kanchiong spider" (whatever that means) so I believe its all good =)

Yes, I know it's all good and I think I'm finally ready to settle down and be a full time student, for the last time.

All You Need Is Love x The Beatles

To know that with you, I don't have to be no one else but myself, to realise that you'll play along with whatever impromptu (albeit: silly & nonsensical) plans that I make and to be assured that you'll always make up for the things I lack, makes me realise that, yes, I want to spend my remaining, breathing moments with you.

Alrighty then, time to get ready for work =)

Kisses Don't Lie x Rihanna

The month of July had a very, very, VERY good start and is still smooth sailing up till now.

1. Working with Rain, Vinnie, Nat and the rest of the Bear Builders had been and will continue being a total joy and for the first time in my rather many part-time ventures, I look forward to going to work.
2. The shopping spree which we officially now name a monthly ritual was a satisfying affair.
3. The Girls Night Out with my beloved ladies was cosy and private, what with the "Where's all the fish?" and "Eh! Ada brownie!?" going around half the time.
4. Daniel Jude Sim and Rian Ariel was born on the 30th of June 2008, and I felt so happy and fulfilled as we sat down, filling in the birth certificates for our beloved boys.
5. And how could I forget how happy the man of my life and I are nowadays, spending as much time around each other physically and through other technological means, as if we're still love-drunked teenagers who just got together yesterday.

And my two favourite partners in the ECC venture and yours truly have arranged a short getaway to a nearby island reaaaaaaal soon =)

Even the bad things in life doesn't look so bleak anymore.
Positive aura all around.

Now, I'm gonna go ahead and watch Rihanna in concert, all over again... and put "Good Girl Gone Bad", "Questions Existing" and "Don't Stop the Music" scenes on repeat again and again and again about oh, say, 8 times per song...

Sounds good, yes?

Fluorescent Adolescent x Arctic Monkeys

Its amazing how someone so small can take up so much space in our hearts.
