Friends

Suddenly i realise my social circle has shrunk so badly!!

i've been meeting up with audrey and austin religiously..
sometimes jonah n clairr too..

the sad fact is i spend more time at MacDonald's than with any of my buddies! tell me abt consumerism... dammit!

i meet up with elaine regularly.
i talk to june regularly online too.. in fact e funny thing is i catch up with her more often than those in SG..
i meet up with raymond religiously too. but online tat is..
occasionally i meet him and jee khen in person for prata..
and suddenly i only meet ade n cindy randomly...
but still better than aeson whom i meet annually. things have improved actually. i meet him bi-annually.. hurr...

n there were other less mentioned, but close to heart friends like joseph and dewi..

n my design mates whom i only turn to when i need help.. (*feeling guilty..*)

i promise to make up for lost times when i'm less busy! prolly next year that is... :P

Expensive Monday

It was a productive monday for me actually.. i beat the morning traffic, head to the west for an early morning meeting. Headed to great world city after tat to get some sch work done. It was nice cos i focused for 6 hours straight, got half my to-do list checked.

while i decided to give myself a nice treat for my very late lunc, i was on vegetarian diet yesterday. i headed to the new gourmet shop by Da Paolo..


i grabbed 1 stuffed portobello mushroom, 150g of grilled zucchinis and a box of green salad. the cost came up to be 25 bucks!

cost breakdown: 150g grilled zucchini is $4. green salad is $6. stuffed portobello is $15!!

it was tagged $5.50/100g.. who would thought a mushroom can weigh almost 300g.. so there, my pocket got a 1st degree burn.. thing is the mushroom aint' even fantastic. i thought the fresh mushroom w/ mozzarella that i make was much much better.. sob sob...

to make my $25 bucks worthy, i took some nice pics outta them. hahaa...



so what to do? i couldn't even bring myself to finish the food. i dumped half away. end up dinner dad packed teochew porrige for me and i thought tat was soooooo superb! There was bittergourd with egg, fish cake and spicy stingray.. Prolly cost only $6 bucks? Hahaa.. who says cheap food ain't good?

Something to share..

Has been almost 2 weeks since i've updated.. Nothing really new to update till today..

The trip to Redang last week was great. Update the pictures once i compile them together.. Right now its jus all over the place. The waters were great! Our trip weren't wasted.. Guess my biggest reward was to spot the giant clam that has blue wings.. wish i got e chance to take a picture of it! Wait till i got enough money to buy an underwater camera..

Today i made a trip down to a prison in Woodlands. Met the inmates at this prison for the first time today to have a discussion for the coming event next month. The visit left me with alot of thoughts. The boys amazed me with their talents and i saw their desire to turn over a new leaf.. in fact it was reflected in each of their work, its hard for me to decide who's work to publish. I saw so much talent and creativity in them. In an environment where there are endless restrictions and limitations, they made do with what little they have but they created amazing things. I was so touched.. I cant express enough in words how exactly i felt and how much i felt i've learnt from them. The long train ride there and back was well worth it..

Thinking Out Loud

I started scolding myself the moment i woke up. I read my own bittersweet post earlier on, and suddenly i was disgusted with myself.

Wassup with all the looking back and lamenting? You have moved on, he have moved on.. What's all the looking back for? Suddenly it felt damn crappy to realise that 2% of myself not moving on. Felt like i've failed and disappointed myself! It's like this sudden rush of pragmatism that overcame me. I guess this is it. I'm never gonna look back anymore.

Lalalalaaaaa.... I'm going on my Redang trip tomorrow night! Cant wait.. till i take some pics for this lonely blog..

Me, myself and I

Austin and i were mugging at macs.. when he turned his head and spot on my report's heading, it says "goals and objections"... wat a dumb mistake.

how apt! claudia always sets her goals then objects to it. zzz...

i got a call on monday afternoon that changed my mood for the week entirely. the classes that were scheduled for tues to fri got changed last minute to over the weekend, which clashed entirely with my redang trip. i was sooooo looking forward to my trip cos it's been pretty crazy for the past 2 months. now the something tat i was looking forward to got wreaked.

and until now i'm not very sure wat's gonna happen to my classes if i go ahead with my trip.. and if i dont go for the trip who's gonna compensate me for the trip? sobzzz...

my productivity and morale has hit rock bottom. i'm on the verge of giving up.. yet pushing along.. what am i suppose to do? my mind ain't really thinking too well.. i'm so tired.. mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually....
