Elaboration not necessary.
Just that, at least grandma’s secret prayers got answered.
And I begin to realize that home is so much better even though I gripe about it daily.
And I also begin to realize the company of familiarity somehow brings a sense of warmth.
Oh well………………………………………………….
From heard about it, to interest, to desire, to really want it.
I don’t think I have ever wanted to go for something that badly.
If I don’t go now, I may never have another chance.
26th – 31st December 2008.
7 days countdown.
If you don’t understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child. ~Linda Sunshine
A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves – a special kind of double. ~Toni Morrison
A sibling may be the keeper of one’s identity, the only person with the keys to one’s unfettered, more fundamental self. ~Marian Sandmaier
Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. ~Pam Brown
11th Dec 2008
Spent half a day at the OHF booth with this girl around, more like trying to be Kaypoh… Not really helping…
Striking image?
The most helpful thing contributed was this suggestion, “Maybe if we try to sing louder, more people will come and buy the things.”
What the…………. Well, at least the closing down was much faster this time round… 
Camwhore...
Camwhore too...
In the Xmas spirit... Pa-ra pum pum pum...
And then we went to The Cannery…
Cheeky caucasian caught us by surprise!
Arr... this is better... =)
What a pose...!
And we came across a fabulous fountain!
Cute...
And cuter!
Which is more beautiful? Me or the fountain? =D
And we saw these beautiful lights by the walkway…
Twinkle twinkle little starrrrr!
Stars!
And there is this serene river which I absolutely love.
Nice.
Nice too.
And then we cross the river bridge to find a grand view…
Cheeze!
Cheeze too!
Double cheeze... =D
And we found a lovely tree…
Naughty princess under the tree...
And naughty princess tries to take a shot…
Now, I think there is some mis-focus here...
This is better...!
And we finally reach the ice-cream stall…
Say it: The Azabu Sabo Hokkaido Green Tea Ice Cream!
Enjoying it...
Extremely enjoying it...
Totally enjoying it!
Just abit more left for me...
And finally…
Our feet looks tired and ready to go home...
And so, we ended the night then.
“In marathons, everyone starts on equal footing. You realize that we’re really all the same people.”
Fresh before the run!
I think what makes it different for everyone is the process towards reaching the goal. For me, I wanted to finish the race to prove to myself that I can finish what I plan to do. Well, I did finish it, just a little off my target of 2 hrs 5 mins. I got it done in 2 hrs 14 mins instead. Still, 3 cheers for myself!
Sightings
I must say the best part of the race is the ending. Nothing beats the part of crossing the finishing line. Because of this, I think I will go back to run again.
Finishing medal!
There is 101 reasons that made me super worried before I got into MDIS business course. So many questions flooded my mind, and there are so much uncertainties. The first term has definitely got its ups and downs. Despite the very challenging and competitive environment, I am thankful for the few friends who stick it through with me.
Deborah the very ‘dao’ cha bor – For being real and kind.
Yvonne aka absolutely bitchy – For being super funny and warm.
Charlie the very big hoohaa person – For being super on-the-ball and helpful.
I should really count my blessings that people like these are around to make life and studies so much better.
Some people come into my life and make life so bitter. Yet some come in, and make life so much sweeter.
I’m thankful for the good and the bad. Without the bad, I might never have appreciate the good.
