But no matter how much you give, it's never enough.
You are subjected to ( Read more... )

 "You've got time to go out for dinner, to waste your time in school, but you can't spend just 5 minutes to write it for me. You just don't want to help me."

I'm glad you finally realized this.

1) I don't waste time in school. I actually print notes and look for books and THINK about literature.

2) It takes longer than 5mins to write that crap for ( Read more... )

I don’t think she ever sees things from my point of view.

Today I celebrated my birthday (early) with a dimsum brunch with just my family + my grandma and my aunt. It was a understated, normalising way of "celebrating", which I agreed to after long long proposals from by mom.

I've been to KL and there's virtually nothing to buy as well! OR rather things that I want aren't there/aren't on sale! :/ what is the shopping world coming to??? ): 3 whole days, and I've only spent S$90.

THIS IS A WHOLE NEW PRUDENT STELLA!

Meanwhile, this happened. O-M-G. Not that I care, but it is SHOCKING! They are MILES apart - not only in ( Read more... )

I mentioned that I saw IX SHEN when my family went for dimsum..and today my mom excitedly related to me what's on the newspapers - Ix Shen has broken up with Ericia Lee.. ISN'T THAT KINDA UNCANNY?!!?! ok, that's just my own fancy.

N.B. I realised that I'm currently real susceptible to replacing "thought" with "fancy", must be the semantic ( Read more... )
