Like most AI students, I'm curently suffering from the
PES (Post-Exams Syndrome). In other words,
boredom. I try to keep myself busy but I don't feel like doing a lot of things these days. I'm of two minds of lazing about in the house...
I went shopping at Causeway Point by myself today. It was quite ok. My goal was to buy birthday presents for upcoming birthdays and the ones which I had missed (like my cousins'). In the end, I spent about
$53.
My sis reckons I shouldn't have spent so much. Especially on one particular present which she says that the recipient of the said present wouldn't even appreciate it. Unfortunately, I had no comeback so I just kept quiet. What's done is done anyway. Besides, somehow, although my sister might be correct, it doesn't seem to matter to me much. Is that a sign?
I'm still excited though. I like to wrap up birthday presents although I have to admit that my wrapping skills are quite limited. But it's still quite fun giving out presents. I like to snap a mental image of a person's reaction whenever I give that person a present. Someday, when I own a digital camera, I would do just that. ^^
I'm trying to blog as much as I can since Agnes
kindly pointed out that my entries are too short. When I think about it, I don't think many people read my entries anyway... But I'll do my best to extend this entry with random thoughts.
So far, I've been adding a few pictures in the column on the right and I found a few blogskins which I thought was nice. I just have to edit the html. Yay! Another thing for me to do. -.-
I've also finally started on the book
Wild Swans by Jung Chang. It's a story about how the author's grandmother, mother and the author herself lived in China. 3 generations, hence there's tons of history here and there. It's so sad to read about how poorly women were treated in the past in China. I can see why Mrs Chua recommended this book (although my father bought me this book way before). It mentions about
bound feet aka "three-inch golden lilies". So far, the book have kept me quite interested...
Despite the fact that Hari Raya is in two days, my father hasn't asked me to hung up the decorations. I bet he's waiting to pounce on me when my defence is low. Creepy. At least I have finally bought my Hari Raya outfit. I got a
red baju kebaya. Maybe I can wear it for Chinese New Year next year on the second day... Hmm... Interesting...

Sorry to leave you all hanging like that. My head has been drifting off to the clouds lately. My own sister calls me crazy sometimes. But then again, so do most people.
Is this post long enough? I'm running out of things to blog about. Well,
I'm going to be broke soon especially after I buy Agnes's present. Hers is really ex. Probably the most expensive present I've ever bought. But then again, I don't have a good memory so that's probably not saying much. Hence, I've decided to design birthday cards to accompany the presents. This is probably the only way to
save money and exercise my drawing skills (if I have any) at the same time.
By the way, before I forget, I've been leaving my handphone all over the place so
please do not sms me so much (but I doubt a lot of people will anyway). I'm not in the mood to reply anyway and I'm afraid that my bill is increasing and it's not going to stop. X(
Things to keep me occupied:
- Hari Raya this Saturday!
- Saving money, yet spending more on presents
- Wrapping the presents and designing the cards
- Wild Swans
- Editing html code for blogskins
- Blog surfing (need to keep up with my friends' lives!)
- Building up my collection of images in my thumbdrive
