It must be my fringe. Or the fact that I share similar tastes with a sister who's 6 yrs younger. Or perhaps it's the wadrobe that my sisters and I are planning to share.
Here's an account of the shopkeeper-auntie's little conversation with yours truly.
"You are in sec what?"
" Erm... I'm not in sec school anymore..."
" Or, so u're in poly?"
" Actually... no... in uni..."
" Oh, it's your first year?"
" Erm... no.... ... ... "
" It's so good to look young right? You can pretend to be from sec school. "
" Erm. Ha ha." Ha. Ha. Ha.
Yours truly had a good mummy-sponsored, daddy-chauffered and sisters-accompanied CNY shopping experience (spoilt-rotten brat I am). Yours truly is perpetually attracted to the colour white, and recently (and maybe transiently), green. Yours truly is not attracted to extremely girly girly clothes, with some exceptions. Yours truly and her sisters hope to have a shared big walk-in-wadrobe. hahaha. Oh man, what girly utterings.

Guilty website
Perhaps I'm the kinda person who's been wearing myself out by feeling bad... and I realise that I don't have to be plagued by guilt/ guilty feelings if I've understood what guilt really is and what has already been done for me.
Here's a website on Dealing with Guilt
Thank you Lord.

Banana points.
It's just a crappy title. I've been craving for bananas recently. And they make a good, healthy and ever-ready snack.
Some amusing information on ze Banana:
1) anti-ulcer
2) mild laxative effect
3) aphrodisiac
4) helps in regeneration of red blood cells.
5) Banana + milk = a nearly complete balanced diet (power!)
Banana's aside, I've been reading the papers and here's some itzy-bitzies for you:
Itzy-bitzy 1:
This week's URBAN looks at how some celebs share about the similarities between them and their pooches. *Looks at my dog* How am I similar to you? (eeks, unglam un-photoshoped pic)
Oh, yeah, the both of us don't really like starfruit, unless juiced and mixed with honey.
Itzy-bitzy 2:
When shopping gets boring, an inquisitive curiousity towards novelty led me hotel-exploring and Oooo-ing and Ah-ing at posh decor and the classy interior design. That's what ulu-gated people like me do when I step into many-star hotels. But for people like Mr. and Mrs. Ong, they step into exclusive hotels, set their eyes it... and may just acquire it (refer to Straits Times article). Tell me, who steps into a hotel/resort and think, "Looks good, maybe I'll just get it." At best, I'll think the exact same line only when getting little things which require less than green and red notes. It's out of this world to read that there're people who can acquire hotels one after another... I don't even accumulate enough money to do that in a game of Monopoly.
Itzy-bitzy 3:
Taken straight off ST URBAN pg 13... you have....
"Civil defence ... to fend off inquisitive relatives and friends" about singlehood.
Here's some of amusingly feasible suggestions...
1) Fight fire with fire: Ask an equally embarrassing question. Eg. "When are you giving birth?"
2) Binge your way out: Stuff yourself with CNY goodies so that your mouth will be too full to entertain any questions.
3) Play victim: Blame your relatives for not introducing a nice girl/guy to you. And while you're at it, you can also blame your parents, siblings, teachers and the society for your lack of romance.
4) Strength in numbers: Hang around with other singles. If you are with older bachelors or bacherlorettes, even better. They can be canon fodder as you make your escape.
5) Delay tactics: Reply "maybe December" when you relative asks when. Just don't specify the year.
Meanwhile, Happy Cheena New Year! :)

Mr Drummer next door
It's been a while since I last strummed out with my little One. The weather got chilly and things grew a little cold between the both of us too.
On my way home yesterday, as I shielded myself with a puny umbrella against the wind and rain, I heard Mr. Drummer from the opposite block doing his thing again. (Well, it could be Miss Drummer doing her thing.) Mr. Drummer practises his new drum beats regularly without fail, be it rain or shine, in warm weather or in chilly ones. When he starts doing his thing, I'll look at my little One, remember our strumming good times and get my fingers to work again.
Eh thanks Mr. Drummer... keep playing!

New word of the day:
Podcast: A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to subscribe to. (Wikipedia)
Hmmm... now now... a challenge to mainstream broadcasts? How about censorship? Shrugz.
Dreamie home of the day:
Waterfront bungalows at Sentosa Cove Coral Island -- "Each of the 'regular' bungalows comes with a berth for a 12m yatch, a private swimming pool, a roof terrace, golf store and boat store, kitchen appliances from designer names like Gaggenau, and sanitary wares from luxury brand Villeroy and Boch... ... Extra goodies [for the $13.9M bungalow include] a covered outdoor pavilion, two living rooms, a separate formal dining area, a smaller second dining room, 3 parking spaces for cars, a cloak room, a steam room with an adjoining bathroom, a roof terrace on the 2nd floor and another in the attic." ( The Straits Times)
Giganormous! Children's wonderland for hide and seek! Surreal! But it's nothing compared to my real home. wahahaha.
JT's real home in time to come:
The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.
Encouraging reminder of the day:
"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
