I should


1. blog layout
2. attitude
3. lifestyle

I have the sudden urge to revamp the abovementioned things. I should really make the effort to change my lifestyle and stop bumming around every other non-working periods.

Last weekend, as I was packing my table, I found a lot of unwanted and useless things! So glad that I threw them all away. This time no memories were attached to the unwanted items so no regrets~! Now I am so glad to have a table which is usable!

I am finally going on a trip!! I'm so excited!! the past week has been busy looking at flight information and prices and hotels.. And I actually learnt a few things about planning a trip. By this weekend should be confirmed~ cannot wait! =) How I wish I got the financial ability and time capacity to travel the world! Ok, not the whole world, just London, Paris, Rome, New Zealand, United States, Taiwan, Australia, the Great wall of china, Maldives, Italy, Switerzland and of course Germany! There are a lot more places I want to go but can't remember all.

Anyhow, today it daunted on me that my student is really growing up. From someone who needed a lot of guidance in playing a piano piece, she has now become someone who should learn how to interpret the piano piece in her own way. That is my aim for my students. Seeing the growth of my first student, I feel so happy for her. Though the road is still long, but I really hope both my students finds the joy in music. =)

Tomorrow is Mothers' day~ I should do something although we are only celebrating it next Sunday together with her birthday. Hmm.... what shall I do?

bright & sunny Sunday!


Managed to wake up and accompany parents to the market today! The moment I reached the market and got out of the car, due to the smell of the market, I was like.. "gosh.. why did I want to come?" Haha! Fail amanda..


But I continued on. Seein how mummy bargain and choose the items was interesting. But boy did I wonder how am I gonna survive in the market and kitchen next time.. need to touch the fish and meat! =D but I learnt that even in markets you need networking skills to get good deals!


Soon, everything was bought and it was breakfast time.. Yums! been a while since I ate my Sunday breakfast at the market place. I should start doing more marketing soon! :)

wheeeee~


Wow, came into blogger and realised they changed the platform. & it feels so like wordpress!! I am still trying to orientate myself around the website.

Haven had a lot of mood lately at work. But, I'm finally on leave tomorrow!!!! Though it is 1 day only but feels good to be on leave!! =D

Anyhow, my dearest sister has started her poly life!! haha, many memories flood through me when she tell me her stories.... and the POA lecture notes are like the same after all these years!! even the tutorial questions. lol~~ wonder if its like for the first chapter.. Anyhow, hope my sis poly life will be one that she will want to remember =)

Right, time to google where to go tomorrow~

Will be back with more updates soon.

***

Is there really a person who will 100% match ourself? I don't think so..

But how much would it take to finally say that one has done enough or done everything that they can to salvage the relationship? When both are on their defences, how will things get talked out?

When there are more than 1 human involve, things always get complicated...

I'm fine... above is just my own thoughts after watching "pillow talk".

I need that one thing


Feels good to head for a short swim this morning~ Which reminds me I really need to start procrastinating and get a new swim suit soon!!

Anyhow, I met up with Yen last monday. It was so long since our last meet up!! but its nice to catch up with her!! =) we had a simple dinner at soup spoon and I brought her to Antoniette at Tanjong Pagar. I really love that place. a nice simple place to chill and just appreciate the desserts. But after my second visit there. I think I prefer the macaroons to the cakes.

Caught Battleship yesterday. It was awesome!! In fact I think its even better than transformers =X and I really do like transformers a lot! Battleship was intense and action packed! When I saw the trailer I was like "wow this should be gonna be a good movie". After watching the movie it way exceeded my expectations! =) Probably I sound exaggerating.. but its really highly recommended!! And yesterday was the first time ever the I ever waited for the whole credits to roll finish and was the last to leave the theater because we heard there is a very short clip after all the credits. We were the only ones who waited. =D After that short clip, I am guessing there is a second battleship coming up maybe?

Gonna catch the premiere of the movie "Gone" next tue!! Hopefully it would be good~

- xoxo -

4.50pm: watching people doing covers on youtube makes me really wish I can sing well!! And makes me wish that I know what my passion is so that I can pursue it.

Amanda, really time to stop procrastinating and move forward with doing something with your life~ And stop being scared!

the lazy amanda.


"Today I don't feel like doing anything. I just wanna lay in my bed....~"

I'm feeling blue at this moment... In fact, I feel like rushing out to the heavy rain and just drench myself till I feel better.

The weather that is affecting my mood? my lifestyle? My thoughts on the future? what do I want in life? What am I doing with my life? hmm...

Everyday without fail I will tell myself "I am so sian". But when I question myself why. I am unable to answer my question. What exactly do I want? Sighs... Maybe I should just stop bumping around and just do something with my life..
- xoxo -

On a happier note, met up with poing yesterday~ Headed to beer market~ Too bad yesterday there was no happy hour, but nevertheless, we ordered fish and chips and crispy toufu to share~ to me, it was so much food!!!! Cos the portions were quite big for 2 person to share. But the fries tasted much better yesterday, no idea why.. =D

Anyhow, the live music was much better than the last time I went there. The song choices were good too. =) but towards the end I got kinda emo thinking about life =X lol~ but THANKFULLY poing was there and we were talking about random things like school, work, friends, about how fast other people are growing up, about life. ahhh, so many things =D

After beer market we went in search of cakes for desserts.. Sadly, the place I wanted to bring her go seem to have closed down. It could not be found!! =( so we settled for starbucks cake at the Central. There we played draw something too!

Soon it was home sweet home time at ard 10.50... The time seemed to pass so quickly. Nevertheless, I had a great time with her! =) can't wait for the next catch up session!

At times my parents conversation amuses me through and through. Here's one of their conversation (translated from teochew) on Good Friday.

mummy: I need to take the bedsheet out today..
daddy: aiyo, no need la~ still ok..
mummy: (with hesitance) huh.. no need ah.. *pause for a moment* ok la ok la~

- Both carried on with what they were doing. Then some time later... -

daddy: I feel like bringing the car for a wash.
mummy: no need la, raining. no need bring the car for washing.
daddy: humf~ (i.e. the sound he makes when he acknowledges something)

Totally made my groomy day a better one!! =D

AND my daddy is so sweet!! He remembered that Tuesday was their wedding anniversary. My mummy has been so caught up with worrying about work that it slipped her mind. (but her reaction after that was damn cute..). Though no presents were exchange between them, but its just something heart warming to know that they still remember their wedding anniversary. Makes me believe that though a guy seem to bo chap, but it does not mean that they are not committed to the relationship. Everything cannot be judged/ seen only from the surface.
