after i reached home from my night class last night, i did my laundry as my new jacket had a small tea stain. i dumped some clothing in the washing machine and went to bathe. lo and behold, i fell asleep after my bath while waiting for my laundry to be done.
when i woke up slightly later at 1230am, my mom was hanging the clothing for me. i wanted to take over since it’s my clothing but she sweetly told me to go back to bed.
some weeks back when i was down with flu, i threw up onto the kitchen floor and my dad cleaned up the yucky mess for me.
great is my parents’ love for me.
recently, i watched ice age with my boyfriend and harry potter last night with bennie, bing ren and my boyfriend.
these 2 movies are not the best movies to catch this period but i do enjoy them to a certain degree. but i know my boyfriend finds these movies sort of “time-wasting” and “bo liao”. yet he still so willingly watched with me just because i want to and he doesnt complain.
unlike him, when i do something i dont like, i will sulk and whine the whole day, or even 2..
chc always teaches that love is giving at the expense of self.
i know my boyfriend loves me =)
anyway, harry potter and the half blood prince is a very slow movie. i think it has the most boring storyline among all its stories.
had a very fun time at the gatherings- the food, the colours, the people, the conversations and all sorts of updates!
i have officially turned 26!
yet the fact that i am already in my late twenties has not hit me deeply. i am still feeling so young and full of life! whee~!

met dearest for a short chill before cg yesterday at mof, raffles city.
i ordered a latte which was a wrong choice for me. the smell of the milk was so strong that it was pungent and i felt like puking.
yes i am hyper-sensitive to fresh milk.. yucks!
but the waitress who served us was very kind to change a new order for me, free of charge!
one more reason to love mof!
btw, this mof at raffles city does not charge gst nor service fee!
life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
when in doubt, just take the next small step.
life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. your friends and parents will. stay in touch.
pay off your credit cards every month.
you don’t have to win every argument. agree to disagree.
cry with someone. it’s more healing than crying alone.
save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
when it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
it’s ok to let your children see you cry.
don’t compare your life to others. you have no idea what their journey is all about.
if a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
everything can change in the blink of an eye. but don’t worry; God never blinks.
take a deep breath. it calms the mind.
get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
it’s never too late to have a happy childhood. but the second one is up to you and no one else.
when it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. don’t save it for a special occasion. today is special.
over prepare, then go with the flow.
be eccentric now. don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
the most important sex organ is the brain.
no one is in charge of your happiness but you.
frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘in five years, will this matter?’
always choose life.
forgive everyone everything.
what other people think of you is none of your business.
time heals almost everything. give time time.
however good or bad a situation is, it will change.
don’t take yourself so seriously. no one else does.
believe in miracles.
God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
don’t audit life. show up and make the most of it now.
growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
your children get only one childhood.
all that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
get outside every day. miracles are waiting everywhere.
if we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s,we’d grab ours back.
envy is a waste of time. you already have all you need.
the best is yet to come.
no matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
yield.
life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.
took leave today as we had opm yesterday.
slept till late morning and met my boyfriend for a swim. i thought we almost couldnt make it since there were rain clouds. thankfully the clouds went away and we had a bit of the sun!
it was quite a chore to swim at suntec since we had to go to the club at tower 4 to get a pass, and then make our way to the pool at tower 3..
maybe we will figure out a more convenient pool somewhere else.
as it has been a long while since i last excercise, i had a very bad cramp in my thighs barely swimming a lap.. weak! i must go swimming more often after work and make good use of my swimsuit and to keep fit!
i’m just glad my boyfriend took time in the afternoon just to keep me company today =) so loved with all that he said to me today!
my boyfriend loves me and i love my boyfriend too! =D
