(Quick post before I fly off for China tomorrow)

Jenson had a car for the weekend so we did what people usually do, which was to venture out late at night for supper (at Changi Village) and to get up to some unplanned shenanigans. At one point, while trying to find yishun dam, a police car trailed behind us after we went slightly off-road and unnerved us. Not wanting to destroy his university career before it has even started, Jenson stuck to the road limit while the rest of us had a 'pretend we are normal' moment. A petrol stop and a few wrong turns later, we found ourselves at Sembawang Park instead of the dam. The guys decided to take note of that place for dates with their future (very non-existent) girlfriends, saying that it was time they started to build up that particular portfolio. -.- Joey and Wenyan both had a go at the car while I sulked at the back, it being a manual and all. At the end of the night/or morning, despite it being a Kia, the car grew on us.

And I thought the application process for SP was hard. Applying to various universities have marked this past month a strange one. I now loathe filling in forms in general and have splurged my birthday money on application fees. The number of hours spent trawling through forums and prospectus have transformed me into a research maven and my DNA has probably developed a search enGENE. ( ok wisecrack prolly fail biologically speaking.)

Things that are good this week;

Big Bang Theory Episode 18, oh how I've missed laughing at such nerdy goodness.

She&Him Vol. 2 (finally) out.

The thunderstorm yesterday morning, phwoar, it was so comforting (to me).

Shopping with mom. She says 'NO' to some of my picks in the most condescending manner LOL.

Shiny new coral polish on nails.

Getting my film cameras (finally) fixed.

&&&& it's a few days closer to Mon(FLYAWAY)day.

Your identity is not in your issue. Something propelled me to attend G12 last night alone. I can't pinpoint what it was exactly but I just knew I had to be there for that particular session. So I showed up on my own accord (or maybe it was the HS) and that session became a revelation of sorts. I was almost reduced to tears in the same instant that I allowed God to minister to me. Being there alone helped too. I wanted no concern and after conference sharing sessions. I just wanted to be there in His pressence, fully stripped of self-consciousness. So thank God for quietly nudging me there.

House at Dempsey Road on the night I became a decade older.

The age appropriate 'felarri' (mom's pronunciation duh) ice-cream cake we got for Con's 17th.

On his present I wrote; 'Dear Con, may you develop abs this year.' ha ha ha

The weather was perfect for running today. So I did.

Riders Cafe

What mainly happened was that we all died a little eating that piece of cake in the second picture and then got turned off by everything else cause nothing could topped that cake. I know I should write more cause the girls complained I haven't been mentioning names lately, just emotions, but there's nothing really left to say cept' that its always better when we're together.

Some pictures taken on the eve of my birthday at Bistro Au Vin ;

Thank You WYJOEYLT&TRIX for 'Cass, it's your birthday so we will do what you feel like doing' treatment for the past couple of days. Thank You KOHTAHGIN&NEOAHWEE (not that they will read it but parents' names are just so funny) for being generally awesome parents. And thanks to FACEBOOK and SMS for making me feel more popular than usual on the 12th.

To myself;
Happy happy happy birthday to you. It's been quite a ride. Take away whatever pains your heart. You're 20 now and that's something. Treat yourself right, flaws and all, even on days when you feel fat or when the state of your hair makes you want to yank it all out. You just have to stick with what you have.

Everyone of them drove me nuts to some degree, but I've come to realised the crazy ones would inevitably get to you most.

3 days in and despite how inclined I am towards strangling some of their necks I realised I would miss some of them after the camp ends. Oh the perils of being human.

Hitting my head on the wall continuously actually eased the pain from my *&^$#%^sonofafishmigraine. I can't wait for SL camp in HS to end cause the kids there are like, whoa and I'm like whoa oh and now my head is totally whoaed out.

Picture taken during last weekend stay at Hard Rock Hotel. Rest of the pictures to be found here.

Stick me in some place where the light shines differently. The past couple of weeks has seen me building my personal slackdom around my bed. Intentionally being a slacker isn't easy cause the guilt gnaws at me nearly every other hour. Weird quirks have developed. Strange words appear into my mind during random interludes for no apparent reason except that they appear. Words like erroneous and convival and I don't even know I know such words, much less their meanings. Yeah, okay, maybe my brain is just so deprieved of brainwave activity that it is churning waves of its own, just so it wouldn't decompose anymore than it should, heh.

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.

You forget some things don't you?

Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
