I am feeling lazzzyyy!!
Just cooked my own lunch. HHEEHE. Its a bargain, amounts to less than $1 apart from the can of campbelle soup that cost me $1.70. I combed the whole kitchen and took abit of ingredients here and there and tadah! a meal's ready:DD
I have no motivation to start work!!:((

Maybe i should go take an afternoon nap..zzzz

P.s. i realise that the timing recorded at the bottom of each post is not synchronised with the actualy time. ERrr.. its supposed to be 3.30pm now!:)

Orange!
I am determined to blog! Throughout this awful period of studying for prelims, i have been constantly questioning myself what i am struggling so hard for. I seriously dont get what life is about! I want to do the things i am passionate about, like volunteering, dancing and travelling. But these, in today's society are merely alternative lifestlyes which cannot earn me a living and may even be thought of as escapes from reality. I dont understand then what i am living for?!

Hmm..maybe, maybe my interests can only be supplementary to the kind of life i am supposed to lead, which is the usual mundane study-work life. Hhehe..i am rather confused! I realise that i have never been certain of what will become of me in the future, or rather what i want to do in the future. :X

This is bad.

But anywaes, for now, at least i know what i should do, that is, to get over A's first! THis is one big obstacle and also my only stepping stone into university..
(ironic, how threat and opportuniy can co-exist at the sametime >.<)
Prelims was horrifying, comparable to commontest i guess..whats wrong with me! Even my brother who doesnt even study half as much as me is showing great improvements in his prelims!! :S

Studying is draining and torturous, but with my family, friends and my little kitten around, ihave no fear! HAHA!:D

Its great to have friends i can study with and who are ever-ready to sacrifice their ears for my complaints and random shrieks of stress:) It feels great to receive random messages of encouragements in the middle of the night when i feel like giving up on my revision:)
Not only this, i still have my belovet mum and dad who never fail to spur me on. My brother and sister too! I will not forget the late nights or rather very early morning we spent in Macdonalds during the September holidays! HAHA.. but sadly we got distracted by the soccer game on TV. HHAha, although i am not a big fan of soccer, i actually cheered with the rest when i witnessed the powerful bicycle kick made by this fellow(sry cannot rmb his name!) during Tottenham's match against Manchester United. He scored the goal within 1 minute from the start of the game!! It was awesome!!:))
Anyway, it is quite shameful to admit how many tons of fats i have gobbled down during my stay at Macs. -.-

Finally, here are some updates on my dearest darling:
This first picture was taken ages ago when she was still the size of my palms.

She has got her first scratchboard!


Her hobby..


She's a really playful girl!^^

And this is the state she ends up in! >o<


Heres her favourite colour, quite close to mine hehe


And she's really protective of her own things, like in this case, she refuse to let go of her shit! HAHA!


Now her owners:

To my pretty sister, if you are reading this, i sincerely hope that you can stop all your nonsense. Its all for yourself. ILU, we all do:)

Last but not least, i am not sure whether this will be a good way to end off my post, but anyway,

RARRRR!

Time to retire for the night(morning?) haha
bye!

love,
cjiam

p.s. Btw, i forgot to mention about the abandoned building i explored the other time. It has a very very long history to it! Here's a brief summary:

Previously known as the Alkaff Mansion, it was built by Syed Abdul Rahman Alkaff who came to Singapore from Yemen during the pre-war period. It was built primarily as a retreat for the Alkaff family and also to entertain their numerous clients and guests of different races
The Mansion was later abandoned after World War II. In 1986, Singapore Tourism Promotion Board it converted into a restaurant, retaining the old world charm of the Alkaffs.
From the reviews i looked through, seems that the ambience and the food there was very appropriate for romantic evening dinners. HAIZ! How i wish the restaurant is still there, but sadly for no particular reason, it was once again left vaccant in 1993. Till now:(

It's really cool to imagine how the place looked like in the past, with customers streaming in and out of the gates, waitresses scurrying up and down the staircase to deliver food to the guests..And maybe some soothing background music(most likely jazz hehe). Perharps the clanking of pans made by the chefs and the whispers and giggles amongst couples while they enjoy their dinner in the restaurant.

How i wish i was there to witness all these..

Maybe my description may not be vivid enough. Hehe..if you are interested, you can go and check out this website:

Here are some pictures of it in the past that i found online:
1) From the exterior omg!(compare this picture with the one in my previous post and you'll understand why i was so taken aback>.<)


2) The garden!! Even with the aid of this photo,I cannot picture how beautiful it used to be. That time i went, although there were still signs of the pink bouganvillea blooming,the yard was completely empty and DEAD.


I was thinking if i have the opportunity to join STB next time, i'll make sure that my very first project is to revamp this place again!!

<3333 :D
