they say dreams reveal your truest desires

although i already knew
on 03162302
because of how much that meant to me
even if that didnt really mean anything
i thought that maybe i can
but i cant
i didnt know where tweety bird came from
but now i do
funny how some things can creep into your subconsciousness
how odd. I don't think I've even lost weight or anything. maybe it's because they're a couple years old and I was chubbier at the waist then or whatever, but I can't quite get rid of them either, because they are in perfectly fine condition otherwise. and anyway, there are no places where I can shop for a new pair of shorts near school, and break is ending so I won't have time to take a bus to a mall.

man it's a tough question, isn't it. I think I'd stick with singapore though, to be honest - at least as far as my experiences go, the country has done quite a lot for me: a safe and stable place to live in, and perhaps more importantly, has covered most of my education (by virtue of my being a permanent resident and then a citizen), if you think about it. and I place a lot of value on educational opportunities.
(granted, certainly, that this also has to do with the fact that I am lucky to have the ability + support + opportunities to have done well in school, thereby qualifying for said edusave scholarships and such, but it's a livejournal writer's block question, I don't want to try and get all political about it here).

i'm glad i was at the esplanade concert hall that night.
Anyway, the new Macbook has been wonderful. I've been playing a lot with GarageBand and legit Photoshop CS4. Now I've just got to wait for all my files to transfer over to my new laptop and everything will be wonderful.
Okay. Alice in Wonderland with Juanyi tomorrow. Can't wait!
"I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet
not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son
of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20
and mardy bum just came on shuffle. I'm suddenly hurtled backwards to 2008 when it was pouring with equal intensity and this song came on our stolen hi-fi by the door. Makes me want to go back there.

An illustration from a ca. 1916 edition of The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby, a children's novel written by the Reverend Charles Kingsley and originally serialised in 1862–63. The book, a didactic moral fable, tells the story of Tom (lower left), a young boy who drowns and is reincarnated as a "water-baby". He undergoes a series of adventures and eventually regains his human form. It was extremely popular during its day and through the 1920s, but has since fallen out of favour, perhaps due to Kingsley's views on religious and political matters expressed in it, such as Americans being chaotic and lazy and Jews being greedy.

so after that I ended up staying up really late, till like, 5 a.m. failed to do much reading, but watched Casino Night (is there an equivalent of Netflix in Singapore? for US$8.99 a month you get 1 DVD rental per month, and unlimited streaming of many films and tv shows. it's awesome. I feel like there should be such a service in Singapore, because it might seriously help alleviate piracy. maybe), which naturally made me feel all melancholy but also nostalgic about how damn good this show was. season 2 JIM ♥ and pam! I feel like she was more...sparkly and lively and cheery then.
and then I decided to watch ( New York, I Love You )
and by the time I finished with that, it was 5 a.m. so I slept, woke up at 10.30ish, and was actually productive today! quelle surprise. did my readings in pleasant solitude at Javapalooza where they played good music like sufjan stevens and death cab and bon iver and I ate a delicious strawberry-banana-nutella crêpe for lunch. happiness.
and I just got back a little while ago from a free salsa class at Vinnie's Jump and Jive! one of my friends goes regularly and I decided to accompany her. it's pretty cool but I feel like I am entirely unsexy when I do it haha. although I shouldn't expect much more given that it's my first try ever. I like it though! maybe I'll keep going on friday evenings :D
okay I know I'm recounting really trivial details of everyday life but such is the pace of spending break in a small town! it's certainly not too bad though; the weather is nice and once school resumes on monday, it's back to busy, busy, MAD BUSY. this part of semester is always the busiest.
right, dinner and then I must get more work done.

My friends say it's a no frills kind of place but I think with the decor of the rooms and friendly ambiance it's a little on the luxurious side of no frills. Of course the place is Wi-Fi enabled and there are even 2 internet stations upstairs making it easy for guests to get connected.

I believe a trip can be made of broken by the location of the place you stay. Sahabat Guesthouse is really centrally located as it's walking distance to the great clubs and bars along Changkat Bukit Bintang, some really great shopping at Pavillion and the most amazing food just round the corner at Jalan Alor. Despite its central location, the guest house is nestled in a quiet area where many locals live.
We all were free to pick which room we wanted to spend the night in so having arrived early I chose the Suite which has it's own balcony and is the largest of all their rooms. They have a total of eight rooms; 2 standard rooms, 3 deluxe rooms, 1 superior and 1 suite ranging from RM120 - RM180 per night. All rooms have their own attached toilet.
I tweeted about the slumber party and someone tweeted back that it would be a great place to take up for a hens-party or a birthday party. She was right. The slumber part was great fun as we all made a lot of noise laughing, playing and run around to each others rooms. We designated one of the bigger rooms as the hang-out area.
Just to make sure we weren't making too much noise I actually took a walk around the front and back at the height of our rowdy slumber party and I can safely say you can trust buildings of old to take into consideration noise pollution.
So if you're looking for a nice cozy place to stay at a great price or are thinking of a place where you can book out all the rooms which won't be too hard on your wallet, try Sahabat Guesthouse.

First pictures in...2 months - I guess the lens of the Ixus is as good as dead since it can't focus anymore [I can only shoot in digital macro - how sad], so it's somewhat become a toy camera of sorts, I guess. It doesn't produce sharp images anymore [like Siriusly], so I'm trying to figure what to do with it.
Spent a good half of an hour with these cats. Tons to think through, yes.
:(

I don't think I've encountered these issues since primary school! There's even a collection of correcting fluid marks all over the ruler. At some point - college, maybe - I lost whatever habits I picked up to avoid stuff like this. I'm not even sure when I started carrying a pencilcase around again, there was a point in college when I just had one well-worn pen in a shirt pocket wherever I went.
edit: and I've just dipped my hand in correction fluid.
