Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1 ♥

There has been a SLIGHT improvement to my parking skills though the number of times i cannot aim the car's rear into the lot on the first try greatly outnumbers that which i can. at this rate, i do wonder when i can ever go solo. should i be looking at car insurances and the likes? anyway, i've been purchasing cheap electronic goods recently but it wasn't really planned or anything. like 10 bucks for a hairdryer and a 12.90 telephone. ikea was packed with people this afternoon as we made our way to get my sister a proper table. well, it was the usual kind of family outing with an inevitable touch of exasperation but that's what makes it familial...that distinctly familiar characteristic.
FOC camp is a mere day away and i have not packed. but the list is solidly there all right. somehow i think i am mad for actually feeling that making the list is more important than the physical act of packing because i feel more secure with the list existing and the bag empty than the other way round. mental, i know.
harry potter and the deathly hallows is the book that took me places when i was sitting on the couch in our old home and it still takes me places now. i sincerely hope they do justice to the book in the final instalment of the movie because the films from the 4th one onwards have been going downhill. it's time for a lift. i hope it ends with a bang and not with a dull thud of heavy disappointment. suddenly i am gripped by this strong urge to re-watch the first one where things are much simpler and hence more enjoyable and where a climax existed. plus ron and harry looked MUCH (times a thousand) cuter and aesthetically-pleasing when they were in there. no complaints about emma watson. like daniel radcliffe said, "Emma was never ugly."

"Rape is rape is rape. An extreme form of violence and violation. Rape of a woman by her husband should be treated just like any other kind of rape. Abolish marital rape immunity. There can be no exceptions."

Thank you, my friends ((:
this is overdue sorry... first off, thank you everyone for just being there. your presence is deeply appreciated. ok...presenting the credit roll for my 21st bday gathering:
1. Terri and Grace- for the stunning necklace i will definitely wear very often and this is like a very big thing because i basically have no attraction to jewellery of any kind.
2. Xuyun, Lydia and Mag- for the very pretty skirt and the very cool wallet both of which i really like a lot esp. the wallet! oh but nothing beats the poker cards.
3. Sze, Liping, Sherm, Steph and Deqi- for the F21 and Kino vouchers. shopping for clothes and books is an awesome combination of retail therapy.
4. Mom- for the food, cake and the very special card hoho.and for being my mom.
5. Dad- for the digi photo frame and erm... osim eye massager (??!!)
6. Popo- for the golden key!
7. Aunt Angie- for the super tai-tai wallet that i really don't know when i'll use (but from which inspired xuyun to have a wise revelation: never judge a present by its wrapping paper.)
8. Uncle Jack- for the present that cost enough to feed a small African village for a month.
9. Yifan- for rushing down from a crazy busy schedule and eating the food.
1o. Peck, Louisa and Isabel- for taking the trouble to come down with a gigantic sunflower but the ultimate present was their presence.
11. bin and jian- for being my daily dosage of irritants. with love, of course.
and thanks to all those who left me facebook messages or sms-es (though most of them won't be reading this haha.)once again, what did i do to deserve such God-given people?

People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.

this has got to be the most fulfilling day at the chem store so far, considering i'm only slacking now when it's near knock-off time. there's music playing from someone's computer, all of us are absorbed in our own worlds and nobody is talking. no delievery man coming in to interrupt, no students coming down to bother us with their supplies list nor smelly waste solvents, no professors or anybody else filling the room with dull mechanical terms in their conversations.
it just feels like i'm not in the store anymore. i think i like working here.
