First things first. My results were okay - not too fantastic and not that bad either. There's definitely room for improvement (isn't that always the case?) so I'm going to work extra hard coming semester. Enough said.

Anyway, met the darling on Fri for a movie (yup, again) at GV Vivo. Caught Confession of Pain, and I must say, Takeshi Kaneshiro has the most beautiful pair of eyes ever. Tony Leung was charismatic as always. (: We were walking around before the movie and there was this one point that we were out on the promenade and there was this couple who walked by with their baby in tow. When he (the baby) saw us smiling at him, he immediately smiled back. *Melts. What a sweetie! Haha. Then we also went to Pet Safari and I saw some of the cutest doggies! I especially love the baby British pugs. Wonder how they manage to turn out so ugly when they're full grown. Hopefully, pictures next time!

Then on Sat, met up with the JC class for dinner at Manhatten. Wasn't such a satisfying dinner though. I still prefer you-know-where. Bad food aside, it was fun catching up. (: After that, I went off to meet darling Ros at Suntec while the rest went off to Minds Cafe.

Fri, 22nd Dec

Spent the day with the darling watching Night at the Museum at the Grand Cathay. been Stiller was hilarious, as usual.

Sat, 23rd Dec

Went Bugis and caught Charlotte's Web. I love that book, but the movie sucked big time. After that, it was off to Suntec and Marina Square before heading back to his place to chill and watch tv.

Sun, 24th Dec

Baked cheese tarts again. Yums!

Mon, 25th Dec

Christmas! the darling and I managed to catch the sneak preview for Death Note 2 at Century Square. The movie was full of so many twists - a definite must-watch! Haha, I know you're probably wondering if we've too much money to spare or what since we always seemed to be watching movies, but seriously there wasn't much to do, and it was so crowded everywhere that it just puts me off. And after that, it was off to his house again to slack.

Sorry for the late entry - been feeling kinda lazy to blog. Haha. Anyway, there's finally time to sit down and take stock of the past semester after the exams.

First things first:


1. I've been more hardworking compared to the previous semesters.


2. I was almost late for two of my papers. *tsk tsk


3. And I think I over-estimated myself by a wide margin - not studying for open-book exams, and not SU-ing the GEM that I wasn't doing very well in. *shakes head

Butbutbut....All things are good because it's the holidays! The one that I've been stretching my neck and waiting for. (:

Anyway, just a summary of what happened after the exams - On Tues, I went Ding Tai Feng for my post-exam treat and it was off to Vivo after that with the boy. We spent super a lot of money. But I was a very happy girl because we watched Happy Feet (the penguins are really adorable! (:), I got to try the much raved-about thunder tea rice at Food Republic, and on top of that, I finally got a jap dictionary and the book that I've wanted for as long as I can remember: The Boy Called It (and its sequels).

The pics:



The rice up close. I know it looks like a mess, but it's quite good. And really healthy too. (:



The thunder tea with the strong mint smell which I didn't really like. *wrinkles nose



And! The book I've been coveting since sec 2.

"...You know your function. You're not a person, but...a thing to do with as I please...
-Spoken to Dave by his mother, in A Man Named Dave

I was deeply enthralled when I first heard an excerpt from this book read by this relief teacher who came to my class one day. It touched me in so many ways that I can't even begin to describe. And reading the inhumane things Dave Pelzer's mother did to him was so horrific, and it made me genuinely salute the man he has ultimately become, for he didn't succumb to his mother's evil and twisted cruelty at all. I guess it really makes you shudder at how someone could dehumanise his/her child and devise myriad of ways to make the child's life a living hell.

Ugh, I'm in no mood to study at all! Sighs. All I can think about is going out. etc, anything but studying. Gosh, this dragged-out waiting for the final paper is such an agony, and I can't really sit down and study properly with the way my mind keeps wandering.

On the other hand, something good happened. A friend whom I haven't seen in ages contacted me out of the blue to arrange a meet up! Wahaha. I've no idea why I'm so happy about it. I guess that just goes to show what a bad friend I am, and how negligient I've been trying to keep up past friendships huh. I admit I don't usually take the initiative, and besides, no doubt it feels weird when you suddenly sms someone whom you haven't seen for a long time to meet up or something (they'll probably think you've an ulterior motive). Nevertheless, I'm glad that this friend took the first step, but I promise I'll make more effort to keep in touch with her and other friends in the future! (:
