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.
