Bloom time

I've been wanting to get a pot of plant for my room. Darling decided to take me for dinner, and accompanied me to the nursery. After (walking) many rounds, i decided on a mini-dendrobium housed in the shell of a huge snail. (yeah you're right, i do the weirdest, most random things)



I find staring at this therapeutic.
The next time i feel depressed, please stop me from shopping. Instead, bring me to the nursery.
Its petals are white, but if you look closely enough, there's a hint of pink, purple and a dash of shimmer. No i'm not joking. shimmering under the scrutiny of jovellaru (that's how someone calls me!) and her desk lamp.
I can't wait for the rest of the buds to flower, and a ton of questions regarding what how where when why.

I just keep wondering.. "Like a kid, who never stop feeling and seeing and being excited with great things.."
I don't want to get too engaged in life, running here and there up and down, without stopping to appreciate and marvel the wonders that mother nature has left for us.

Some friends been really lucky underwater! They saw tresher, whale & nurse sharks, pod of (at least 5) dolphins, and one even got engaged! I'm setting high hopes for the trip in june; it might be my one dive trip in 2009. Hoping to see and capture magnificent marine life aside, i hope the food, accomodation and company would all tie in perfecto.

Sis was saying that researchers couldn't count days beyond 2011, as something destructive is gonna happen to the solar system. My simple mind thinks that if motherearth and sun are gonna be affected, we're all gonna d-i-e, die. So if that's gonna happen, i had better love all and live life to the fullest, counting from now.

Awhile back, i was so into coffee flavoured ice-cream. Now, my new love is green tea ice-cream! Not exactly a good way to pile up on anti-oxidants, but definately consuming less sugar is good!

I can't wait to get exams over and done with. I want to clear my bursting closet of undersized shirts and spruce up m's place and replace his fake greens with lil pots of leafy low-maintainence plants!
But i'm far from being prepared for exams. Blame myself for lazing too much, not concentrating enough and starting way too late.
And this hot April? We're all to blame. Wasting, dumping, air-conditioning, etc. Earth hour can only do just that much. Lets bring earth hour into our everyday lives, by going green, use less plastic bags, switch off our electricals when they are not in use and turn off our scientific/financial calculators when we're on the net.

I'm reluctant to turn in, though i'll be having a long day tomorrow (10am-9pm). I can't sleep cause by the time i wake, it's one day closer to exam. I'm gonna try and cover a lil more before hunger pangs and fatigue takeover.

Good night Earthlings.

1) i'm so sick of hitting on the 'reset safari' button, cause the !ras website doesn't allow me to re-login after being redirected! All the bull-shit convenience on efiling-wasted 2.5hours of my night and i'm not anywhere near done.

2) i had a whole piece of snow-fish for dinner and feel like puking it all out now. all i want now is a cup of refreshing but teeth eroding lemonade.

3) it's exactly 2 weeks to the start of exams and i've not touched a single module.

4) i'm so sick of treating patients. all they do is make a hell lot of noise to the poor receptionist. parents who keep thinking filling has dropped. they think it's damn fucking easy to treat a 3year old who has spikes on the butt and an inquisitive tongue. worst, fine if you don't want to take the xray, but don't question me if there's really nothing wrong with the tooth. what fuck. i didn't pay nuts for school fees so stop coming for un-neccessaries. and many others; don't complain of pain/sensitivity when you declined local anaesthesia. okay.

5) thoughts of adopting a dog (puppy to be exact) has been on my mind for several weeks now. buying one is definitely out of the question. there're so many 4-legged(s) waiting for a new home. but i look at my schedule and my moo-lah; sighs. better not let another suffer with me.

6) on a more positive note, theboyfriend and i spent some time last evening stuffing our faces with japanese desserts at newly revamped sembawangshoppingcentre. after dinner, we headed to ministryoffood for a sinful concoction of 1) green-tea gelato and rice dumplings drowning in a shallow bowl of utterly sweet red bean paste, and 2) warm inside, crisp outside mochi surrounded by peanut 'shavings' (this time of the night is making me stupid and lost for words) and red bean paste. Of which i totally said yucks to the latter and mypoorboy had to finish up this over-rated dish. oh did i forget to mention-a whole cup of hazelnut ice blended all to myself right before dinner time. teeheehee.

7) i wish life was full of rainbows, butterflies, cupcakes, posies, ribbons, balloons and all things happy. we go to work cause we're bored stiff at home. we take long walks with our loved ones, and go for runs with a dog, dive and travel around the world. fine. if i still feel goddamnlousy when i wake tomorrow, i'll get myself some flowers.
ok maybe i should go easy on the pocket. just one sunflower. or a bunch of roses, maybe 7. we'll see.

wouldn't it be nice.

Updates

Hi folks, it's been awhile.

I'm finally done with tests, reports submission, and some dental courses. March has been hectic, somewhat.
And when M&i finally went for shopping over the weekend, we (actually, only him la) got a great shock.

To cut the long story short, we popped by a renowned french jeweller/watchmaker, followed by a boutique named after an italian shoe designer, and he got disturbed(now that's an understatement) that he might not be able to meet my expectations.
Well, thing is, i do admit my love for luxury goods and think there's nothing wrong with being materialistic, so long as it's within my means and no one is hurt in the process of obtaining it; think: robbery. (Even my best friend's boy can't comprehend!) Because these things are valued at a hefty price tag, i ain't got any of them. I'd love to close the previous sentence with a 'yet', as i always do with tangible things i really want. But thing is, by the time i lay my hands on them, my marital status might be different. If so, some discussion and consideration needs to be taken as we now live as one.

That very Saturday, i finally purchased a hair straightener, after much research on the www.

Lil sis became my first guinea pig.

After work, there was this strange evil force pulling me into the watchery, more like witchery, really.
It was love at first sight. Tested my luck and haggled for a 20% off. Heng i tried, cause it could have been even cheaper from retail shops outside!

Sibei chio right, charcoal & rose gold-coloured strap, i love!
