Gathering
Finally met up with Uni friends! Have fun talking about anything, and teasing Ivan for eating so slow like a woman =)
As usual, I was late (woke up late, skipped gym along the way. with reasons, but still quite upset about it because I missed my usual kickboxing class). But good thing that I was late, or else I would never know that Wei Chuan called him Daniel Chua! Haha!
Ok, most pictures are (I think) in Carisse's camera. Shall wait for her to upload the photos. Just upload some of the photos I have here. Btw, got a lot of ugly pictures, so I shall spare some people's agony and not put them here =)
Girls grp photo.... the big grp photo is with Carisse...
A picture of Mr Daniel Chua...
Our gifts for gift exchange! Mine is the one in pink flower wrapper! I bought espirit mugs and yingqi got it!
My gift! I 'snatched' this from Carisse and this is from Mr Daniel Chua! Can tell it is damn last minutes but it is what I need most!
$20 bucks! Can get either sports bra, sport pants, knee guard, gym bag, sport tank top... as you can see, I planned to buy a lot of sports things.. haha! Thanks Mr Chua!
Went Yingqi's house to play games later... forced her to lock up her dog because I will run away if there is one near me. Not many pictures, just one with Linda's BF dealing cards for us playing Bluff. Haha, Ivan and Carisse suffered the most....Next outing is (I think) during CNY. Oh well, if we are playing mahjong, I will need Cindy darling's help again!
Suddenly just some random note, during all my lunches with Linda, she actually shed some truth to some of the things I was confused about. Things I was out of the loop for because I wasn't in most of their finance classes because I was in my marketing classes. Oh well, some questions answered, and I was feeling quite relieved about it. Actually, this realisation happened a long time ago, so a bit lag when I am talking about it now.... haha..
**Linda sure going to ask me what am I talking about on tues.... haha! I shall be prepared! **
Since I am uploading photos, I might as well upload my loots and my new laptop!
My laptop is purple! Yeah!It is running on Win7 now, and it has been great so far. Sometimes it gives me problems and I am not sure what is going on... worse of all is that my access to my work email is not compatible to Win 7 so I am still using my old slow laptop for work purposes. Also, I need to get speakers because the laptop speakers is softer than my old one. Maybe can get one after my gym on sat...
Haha, as I told some people, I spent $300++ on this load of skincare. There is a 20% discount at Clarins, combined with the normal Isetan's 10% rebate vouchers promotion. I really save quite a bit here. Missed my IE outing for this, and the gang is giving me grief about it. Oh well, money is damn hard to earn, and if that takes me to miss an outing to save some money, I will do it. Let's hope that they can understand and be generous about it since I seldom missed the outings...
Ok, these 2 weekends I managed to rent Vicky Cristina Barcelona (VCB) and Revolutionary Road (RR) dvds to watch. RR touched me more than VCB. It is saying what normal people would face, an opportunity to throw everything behind and find something you like or to live in a society conformity that you are either okay with or hating it. The problems are so real, it is like echoing everyone's thoughts. How many of us are living the confined way that is taught by the society? How many of us are holding an office job (like that Leo did in the movie) just because the society's norms said so?
As I said, sometimes due to our circumstances (eg housing loans, family commitments, kids), we are struck. We see people who are stuck at all the time. Either that, we see people who take the easy way out.
I think my point is that, if you are really happy with your life now, really happy about it, you should be grateful. So many people can't be happy (or try to pursue their happiness) because they are stuck. As for me, I am alright with what I have now. Definitely could do better, and when I have the opportunity to do better, I will =)
Alright, enough of heavy talk, Just damn sian that the next public holiday is CNY. Gonna take a few days before CNY because 1. I can help my mum with the preparations 2. I need a break. Maybe taking 2.5 days, and even can squeeze in a gym session or so.
And with this CNY, I am 24! Shit! I am really getting old sia!
Oh yeah, one more resolutions for me. I shall clean up my room more often! My room is really messy!
And next week, most of my tv shows are coming back! Yeah!
Cheerios.
