In all randomness...
The weekends seem to be the only time when I have the chance to really indulge in food. Like last night, when I picked up my dear girls up from home and work before heading for some oily prata and mee goreng at Bukit Timah. They never fail to cheer me up.
It's just one of those days... when I feel like doing nothing.
I brought piles of books and worksheets home to mark, but I don't feel compelled to mark them. Not yet. Maybe not today.
I just want to... live.
Random photos!
Had to leave school exceptionally early on Monday to head back to NIE for assignment submission. If it wasn't because of that, I would have stayed till the usual time of 8pm. Rushed over to that familiar place, but not before picking my sis up.
I made it just before 5pm and handed in my FINAL assignment. It was good to be back at NIE... Walking along the corridors, taking in the breeze and open-ness. There's just something about the place that makes me feel so carefree. And of course, it made me think about the good times I had there with my NIE girlies. Couldn't resist SMSing all of them. Sigh.
My sis and I ended up having our sinful lunch of Macdonald's (NTU student price - Much cheaper! Haha) in the car while chatting about everything under the sun... It has been a long time since I had the luxury of time to do that. Went to pick Mum up from work after that, and somehow, the whole family ended up at Bukit Timah Food Centre for dinner.
My crazy sibs and moi

The Navy guys' Significant Others -
Yiwen (the MT teacher), Ivy (the mother-of-two), Nelly, Linda and me!
... otherwise known as the ones who have been lonely the past 3 weeks. Hurhur.
Our paths probably wouldn't have crossed if not for our boyfriends/husbands, because of the differences in our ages and lifestyles. But what is amazing is that it didn't take long for us to clique and bond. It's comforting to know that we're all feeling the same during this period when the guys are out at sea.
To cope with the loneliness when I'm driving alone, I bought this cute little lion stuffed toy to hang below the rearview mirror. It reminds me of my Gordie darl, because like I've said before, he's a typical Leo (the horoscope) - confident, self-assured, loyal and dependable. The sign of Leo is a lion, which is why lions always remind me of him. Teehee.
It might just be psychological, but I do feel much better whenever I glance at the lion while driving...
FIVE more days before I see the Love of My Life again... I miss him so much!
To end this rojak post, I shall share my latest feel-good song. Hearing it makes me feel free-spirited and happy.
Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
I wanna find myself somewhere, somehow...
