it is indeed nice taking a step back to look at life from a different perspective. by just reflecting on my past year, i realise that i have been moving fast, too fast indeed. meeting new people and leaving the old true friends two steps behind. not updated about my current life. if any of u guys happen to chance upon my blog, i would like to apologise to you.
i just had an OG bbq today. and deborah, sharon, bryan, wanting and i were engineering some kissing photos. with the camera in certain positions, you can look like you're in a rather compromising postion sometimes. interesting huh?
met another of my brother's gd friends. she was lovely, very cute. i was rather curious to find out that she was attached to a photog guy who was in my OG. well, they say love IS blind... oh, thanks for waiting with me for my parents at the gate. you know i hate to wait alone.. and for solving that bloody probability question this afternoon. you're a really wonderful person. thanks a mil, brother:)

childlike.
The little plants
inch
out
the fresh, muddy soil;
just
newly watered with the light summer rain
Their vision envelopes the vast field they are planted in;
edges
obscured by taller and more stout plants,
formulating their first opnions
of the
vast
wide
world.
Leaves unfurl
Roots tentatively grasp at pebbles
furtively searching for sources of nuture
All in a desperate attempt to anchor themselves to earth
before the next big gust of wind uproots them
or injestion by a wild animal (yum!)
Fate is kind to most
Air, water and fertilizers are abundant.
However,
cruel to few nonetheless.
A few fail to assimilate these...
they are hoed up by the farmer
discarded; deleted.
The survivors;
given the best conditions
money can buy.
Unaware;
that two fields apart
are plants left to fend for
themselves.

not again. my net's really screwed these past few days. and its a bummer as SDD is so near. can't seem to dl stuff from the council server. on a rare occasion, today, it worked.
the dance lessons and modelling sessions for the pageant finalists are going on rather smoothly. just a tad worried about those who don;t turn up for lsns. coz they might nt be able to catch up.
i baked cookies today. chocolate chip, cashew and oatmeal. i tried to put in chocolate sauce into the cookie and it exploded in the oven. well, nt so much as exploded but the chocolate just oozed out and charred the aluminum foil. well. except for these, overall, the cookies were a success:)
i'm gonna get my killer heels tmr after the dance lessons.
cheers,
carene

i'm am so glad today! i've finally secured my oscar statue for the SDD decor!! thought that there would be lots of red tape or whatever not, but all it took was a phone call to secure it. at least sth is so going my way. and the prog that i'm supposed to do is quite settled too:)
i went to vivo with jit today. the shopping trip was fun and the company's great (that is another compliment, jit.) as i was wearing my baby pink heels, my feet were almost killed at the end. that's the price to pay for beauty, i guess. and it's still hurting. it's NOT FAIR. why can't eople invent heels that do not hurt even when you run in them for a marathon?
oh, xinhui. i will be able to go to your slp over without having to go to VJ. hahas. coz mansoor postponed the packing of goodie bags to the 30th. two days after your slpover:) looking forward to hanging out with you guys. thanks for the post too. i love you lots.
night,
