here's a long one

so the prelims have come and gone. they didn't really "fly by", as much as i willed myself to believe they would. but life isn't gonna be any more exciting just yet, with it being a mere 38 days from the As. ohwell, we don't really have a choice.

the past 2 days had been...messy. yesterday started out okay (actually it started out with econs tuition but whatever, it's good to maintain the momentum). went cycling at ubin! i think i've improved alot, though uhhh i still shudder at the sight of downslopes and huge crowds ahead. and it was mainly off-trail, so good practice for noobish me. chek jawa was pretty disappointing though, couldn't see anything from the boardwalk, though i believe it's definitely a whole new world beneath where we were...a whole new world not to be disturbed, i guess(:

pulau ubin is a nice simple place. but somehow it interests me more than the glaring citylights in mainland singapore. just that day i was telling mom, how i don't really feel like most (read: not all) girls my age. i really can do without pretty accessories, retail therapy, makeovers and the like. recently i've even come to avoid using the computer and going online. ahwell. maybe i'm weird. or boring. or an old lady hidden beneath a teenager's facade. whatever.

well so yesterday was pretty nice until. mainly it started to turn into a nightmare cos i reached home and emptied my bag and the camera was not insight. my lumix FX10 that i saved so long and got for such a good bargain! my tears started flowing before i knew it and soon i was a wreck. and the 300+ pictures (i'm gonna upload every single picture like regularly from now on).

called ubin police post, they said they'd check it out. wanted to make a report but the NPC closed at 10pm. i ran and reached there at 10.10pm. ohwell. perfect timing, they call it. i couldn't sleep for a long time yesterday.

this morning while having breakfast at werner's with mom the police called me! they found it! gosh i felt really really grateful and lucky. and thanks gina(: (who happened to be going there today, so she collected it for me)

so today was a pretty good, relaxing, time-with-family day. been so long since i had lunch with them on a sunday afternoon. ahwell. oh yeah and i think i consumed 5000 calories today. but i feel happy heh(:

i just don't understand how people can stand to give up food, of all things. people who starve themselves are losing out on too much! literally too, of course. hurts to see friends do that. i remember, though i don't wanna be reminded of, my one-sandwich-per-day times back in rg. and scrutinizing the nutritional facts column of every single food item. how tiring and silly and foolish. so many more things matter, than just the numbers on your scale. i'm glad i realised that. and my personal take: skinny is NOT hot.

and recently the heat's on CUPCAKES! but personally i think they just look pretty, since i'm not like yi xuan who adores icing. but really feel like follwing the trend and order some cupcakes from those online shopfronts. low barriers of entry, yo. maybe i also can set up a 'shop'. ohhh and i just realised that Cupcake Momma's cupcakes can be collected from kembangan mrt! thats 5 minutes from home haha so exciting.
