its been a week and a half and new year still isn't over.
hurry up and END already...
had a(nother) family dinner at my aunt's place, and it was interesting to see how they squeezed a new house thats 4 times the size of their old one into the same plot of land.
i love their dog though. border collie, and very very licky.
i feel like writing about controversial things but i cant really think of anything i'd like to expound on...
i'm supposed to go fishing on sat.
i'm supposed to go wakeboarding on another sat.
i want to go phuket or bangkok or taiwan for a break before june. i might settle for a weekend shopping trip in KL.
5 days of leave to take, gives me... fri night - next sunday night = 9 days.
i just got a pair of damn pretty heels. they're mega high, but i love them. i'm just wondering how many plasters i'll have to go through. i seldom encounter a pair of shoes which speak to me... but these did. most of the rest were just... necessities.
i think, the last pair of shoes which spoke to me were a pair of rodney mullen limited ed globe skaters. that was... 7 years ago.
someone remarked that i dont seem to need sleep like other humans.
i guess it IS true that i sleep less than a normal human SHOULD, but i DO get my fill of sleep on weekends / offdays. very important, weekends are.
the price i pay for having more personal time is a permanently dreamy view on life, and eye circles. the dreamy view on life, is an improvement, but i cant say the same about the eyes. luckily, theres always concealer, which i don't use.
its so interesting to see how people i used to know have become now.
i think my parents would probably jump for joy if they knew i might have been an alcoholic clubbing slut sleeping around.
fortunately, i can't afford to waste my night hours spending on alcohol and sex.
who needs all that when you have the COMPUTER.
i can't for the life of me figure out the appeal of the high life. publicity? alcohol? food?
all that comes with many paparazzis and throwing away of money.
i actually paused for a while to seriously consider how i'd like it. and... i cant find anything attractive about it except the food. FOOD minus dinner parties and functions. euk to those.
i'd probably like to live a recluse. with all the time in the world at my disposal, all the choices in my hand. i think i'll probably be the kind to migrate to a countryside in my later years and farm the land, drink stream water... or something like that.
which leads me on to.. what kind of environment would you like your kids to grow up in. (assuming you DO want kids)
i'd like them to be schooled in singapore, no doubt about that... but i dont want them to grow up here. i'd like them to be familiar with nature, and the different species of insects/dogs/cats/birds/fish, to watch TV only when they have no choice, and to be able to pick up a frog/beetle/cockroach/lizard without a second thought.
i want them to be able to climb trees and run in the mud barefoot, dig for earthworms for fishing bait...
be able to cook themselves a simple meal, iron their own clothes.
and i'm talking about, before the age of 7.
PERHAPS i'm asking too much... but it irritates me to see people squealing and fussing about having to eat unfamiliar food/ go somewhere thats not clean. basically, in my dictionary, acting like a typical spoilt singaporean.
OH, of course i have my hissy (borrowing dawn's ex fav word) fits, when i pwn certain idiots for not delivering my desired level of service etc, but thats not because i'm incapable of doing whatever it is myself. most of the time it is because if i were in their shoes, i'd be ABLE to perform better than them.
*stuck up bitch in action lmao?
i'm at loathe to depend too much on other people, because they usually fail.
