Believe in the small things.

Today spells the end of February and tomorrow, the first day of March. Look at how fast time flies and before I get to rub my eyes, eat my food and sleep for a minute, Term 1 is over. It sounds exaggerated but the fact that time can fly this fast is exaggerated to begin with.

Neway, since February’s coming to an end, we picked lots to decide on our March sitting partners and I will be sitting with Joni!:D Mei Qi and Yvette are behind us! February was spent sitting with Ali Choobs, Esther JKHJ, Younice and Simin and I’m going to miss sitting with them! We always had so much fun together, but it’s okay, these wonderful memories will be kept!(:

Last Wednesday, 24 February 2010, a study session date with Younice, Ali Choobs and Esther JKHJ, is to be remembered! I must say the study session was quite successful, though most of the time we were trying to control our laugher because we were in the library and we were just laughing our heads off at everything, but we still managed to get some work done. Ali Choobs was taking pictures of young couples, while Younice looks at them in envy and admiration, Esther was pretending to study because she was on her phone the whole time, sms-ing J~ (nehmind, esther, we understand your needs very well) and of course I was the most studious one who fully concentrated on my work. I even made “The Agreement” to keep us from getting distracted and to be really focused and we all signed on that but, into the next minute, we broke most of the rules since, we were laughing so much. Hahahahaha!

Pastamania for lunch!
Finally, we could laugh the way human beings laugh, unrestrained and not whispered laughter. Even when we were eating, we were laughing throughout and the stomachs just keeps vibrating, a total good workout for stomach muscles. Come to think about it, I can’t remember what we were laughing at that was so funny, it seemed like everything to us was just so funny.

When it was time to part, outside J8’s Breadtalk, Younice, Esther and I imitated Ali’s bimbo-flinging-hair action for many a times, trying to irritate her. That day was really good and awesome and fulfilling and relaxing(:
Thank Ali Choobs, for always doing those bimbotic moves with that english accent making us laugh non-stop.
Thank you Esther JKHJ, for allowing us to have a collection of your unglams and being, what younice calls it, “You, a fan of that chicken ah?”.
Thank you Younice, for being so nonsensical with all your nonsense. your crazy monkey laughter/roar and being the self-acclaimed “best and glamorous and dazzling” girl.
In short, thank you to you 3 for making me laugh so hard and have so much fun on that lovely Wednesday(:
We’ll all wait for Ali Choobs to learn how to transfer pictures into her computer and then send it over to us, so in the mean time, here’s another picture, which Qihong sent it to me and I thought it was really cute!

Awwww:D

A home full of people I love.

Zeph, Xuan, Azryel(:

A family love that will never ever be replaced by anything in the world<3

Chinese New Year really makes me feel very blessed and fortunate. As usual, we went to chinatown (what we do every year on the eve night of Chinese New Year) and it was wonderful. The fireworks were small scale and the fire crackers were a tad too loud but nevertheless, I was there with my family and that’s really all that matters(: It was when I saw this really old woman, probably in her seventies or her eighties, she was standing beside a table of newspapers under one of the void decks. Then Des asked me why she was selling papers here, late in the night (it was around 1, close to 2 am) and not at home with her family. At first, I don’t know why, but I didn’t know how to answer her, but in the end I said, probably she’s alone, she doesn’t have a family here and well, to her, Chinese New Year is still a working day, she still has to earn her keep. But for us, we are lucky to have our reunion dinner with our loved ones in the comfort of our own homes and for that, I must say we are very blessed and something for us to be thankful about(: So, shouldn’t we always constantly thank our family for always being there for us whether in times of rain or shine? Happy Chinese New Year(:

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
