a bit of peace. TV switched off. everybody in their rooms. three dozing off to a slumber (a sweet one i hoped), one singing softly to themselves (my eldest sister anyway haha), one gaming or online shopping, and finally me, alone in the living room, windows shut and the door locked.

a perfect happy place and time where i could think without distractions.

re-watched Iron Man with bro this afternoon, just two of us. over the last week, i had caught High School Musical 1 & 2 (i cant wait for 3), What Happens In Vegas (again), Narnia: Prince Caspian, Wildchild, Flushed Away, Resident Evil 1, 2 & 3, Yes Man and Twilight. jeez, i cant help but feel slightly geeky hee hee.

i need to pluck my eyebrows. happily, the thought that i dont need to travel to as far as orchard road to do my brows makes me very happy indeed - thanks for the new beauty salon that opened at TM a few weeks ago. i still need the courage to try their techniques though, cuz i have come to conclude that different beauticians tweeze in different ways and styles. bummer if you’re unlucky and picked one who gives you painful and throbbing stabs, make you tear and leave those tell-tale red blotches all over your eyes. hmmm.. but perhaps the courage would come with emergency and urgency. CNY is coming round the corner after all. speaking of which.. i only have one new CNY top to wear. two more to go!

shopping irks and cheers me now. irks first cuz i dont have much to spend (gasp - and Da was telling me she just spent $80 on a dress a few mins ago! unfairness or what?), cheers cuz i’m happy to have any reason to shop. but of cuz shopping is only fun when you can just buy stuff without looking at the price tags hee hee. but that will be too unlike me - i will always look at the price tags before judging a top is nice or not. oh stingy me.

my next-door indian neighbour is outside her door making ridiculously loud noises for a night like this. for goodness’s sake they cant even open the door without making 1001 amount of noises!!! luckily there are some pipes thingy standing between our doors, or else..

speaking of noisy neighbours, we seem to be getting alot of them these days. loud rolling sounds can always be heard upstairs and we were all eager to use our bamboo pole for other uses other than hanging wet laundry. poke-poke-poke! so tempting isnt it! it had started becoming a inside joke that there must be murders being commited upstairs, judging by all those noises.. ewwww.

also, a paint-job project to re-paint all the blocks around here is going to be in progress soon. i cant bear to think about the amount of noise and dust our new neighbours (the painters) will be making!

**i’m really excited about getting a copy of The Host soon!!! *dance around*

 

OMG TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF 2008!!!!! - i only just realized. applause everybody, i’ve managed to come this far. perhaps it doesnt means anything, either. just another day for me.
