[[on a lazy day as such...]]

i looked out of my window, up into the sky; what a lovely shade of blue it is! it's a really intense shade of sky blue and the clouds seem extremely white against it. how i wish i could have taken a picture of it! but the camera's locked up in the dry box and i have no access to the keys. darn!

for today's lunch i reheated some leftover food from the dinner we had with my paternal granma. so i ended up eating stewed mushrooms and ginseng chicken soup. a weird combi right? haha.. i mean, i love both dishes, but i really never expected them to become a meal on their own for me. anw, i had actually no idea the mushrooms were for me! such is the love of a mother. though there were only three mushrooms left ( and lotsa pacific clams! yum!) she bothered to keep them for me and even made sure that my granma and maid didnt lay their hands on it. sighs..

i tried packing the drawers in my room today and it's next to impossible! there's just so much junk in there. junk from my childhood. and that's what makes it so hard to clear out! i cant bring myself to throw anything away! i should just blindfold myself and tip the entire contents of the drawer into the dustbin! here's what i discovered about myself today: i used to love sailormoon! and i was an avid collector of stickers and stamps. not to mention, i suspect i was the type of girl girls like to hate when i was young! because i chanced upon my kindergarten photos and non of the girls looked familiar to me! i remember my two best friends from school were boys. ah wells. what happened to me through the years?? now i'm just anti-social. and really awkward around guys. haiz.

i've learnt a couple of new words today! *applause* they include: spangled, crinoline, tremulously, furtive(word of the day!), contemptuous, sinew, airily, and woolly. haha! i am smarter today than i was yesterday! and did you know that to "pop your clogs" means "to die"? from what i found out, its supposed to be a sort of old british slang. back in those days the working class used to wear clogs to work. i presume clogs must have a great significance to them then, kinda like their means to a livelihood. and "pop" could very well have meant "to pawn". so when one was ready to pawn their clogs they must have been close to death. there are other versions to it really. but i think this one's quite interesting.

my yee bor (granma's sister) called from canada today. i sorta freaked out! cos i'm really bad with people. i'm convinced that i bore them to death. anyway, since there was noone-else but me who could answer the phone, i had to pick it up. and it was bad. we hung up after three minutes or so. i think she's resolved to call a little later next time, like when my mum's home from work or something. still it was kinda nice to have received a phone call from a relative who's living so far away.. i'm such a contradictory person.

ok. it's time for me to dissolve away into my comfort zone and do a little something for myself. yay!

*must remember to buy a cd of CNY songs for yeebor.
*must remember to read the bible later today. and to stop putting it off!!

where is the him that i’m looking for… |3:05 pm|
