whenever i come back for my hols, i always wind up running errands for everyone at home which equates to me taking all the cars for servicing. and well. we all know about my minor accident with my bro's car when i first got my license. now every time i visit the mechanic, he looks at me shakes his head and believes that it was me who did all that damage :( ehh what is this man, i am the one who's the pure at heart person who's running errands and in the end i wind up looking guilty.
had the xmas gathering at my place for the hockers :D yay! can't wait for friday! mingfen's birthday celebration. WHOOPEE DOOO!

merry xmas everybody! :):)
a day/night for food and laughter.
being back home is the best. ALL THAT FOOD. omg. haven't felt so full in my life :)
the xmas decorations in town's really impressive! i guess we have to make up for it since we don't have the cold weather for it. and shopping's insane. town's been so crowded, i haven't dared walk around other than driving through it.
hope everyone's having a fabulous time ;) let's catch up soon!

enjoying my last few days in ny. shopping, eating, the sights. too much to take!
anyway, will be home early! managed to get an early flight! upgraded to business class some more. hahaha i think i'm more excited about taking the flight than being at home. hahahaha :)
oh and today there was hail! it was horrible! the wind was blowing so hard that the rain/hail was falling horizontally. i was so soaked by the time i got home. and i bought going away/christmas presents for my room mates! :) i got them shoes from aldo and they were damn happy :D:D:D i'm happy they're happy. i love being santa claus. the aldo woman was like.. are you crazy buy 5 pair of shoes. and it was damn weird picking out the shoes because after each pair that i chose she would be expecting me to try them on, but i would be ready to ask for another pair of another size. wait, does what i just said make sense?
okay nevermind. yayyyy :) can't wait for the weekend. getting my long awaited haircut tomorrow :D can't wait to chop off the hair. whoopee!
oh and dig this. my fortune cookie read:
"eat, drink and be merry. for tomorrow you shall go on a diet."
wtf.

i'm caught in such a dilemma.
i've got an early flight home for the 19th. and i should be happy. i mean i was thrilled senseless. BUT i'm not ready to say goodbye to my friends here. i mean 19th is 9days away. 23rd is 13days away. so much more time. this is driving me insane.
i put my mom through so much to get me home early. she really wants to see me and everything. and she's being soooo understanding about it. she knows i want to be with my friends. i don't know. i feel like shit. feel so selfish.
i love my mummy so much and i miss her. but i can't say goodbye. just yet.

this week is an eventful week. i had many firsts.
1. longest emergency room wait in my life
2. snow
3. snow falling from the sky attacking me in all sorts of directions
4. muscles after months
3 stitches from washing the dishes. i think i'm cursed. last year it was a dog bite now i'm getting attacked by glass. WHAT'S NEXT??!!
okay. anyway had social psych today. very interesting lecture. shall post this article.
actually. just check this out.
it's about how normal people under certain circumstances would be EVIL even if by "nature" they weren't predisposed to be so.
anyone remember the torture that took place place in the Iraqi Prison, Abu Ghraib?
this experiment basically explains that it ain't bad apples that caused all that. rather, it was circumstance.
scary. we are all capable of this.

new haven, connecticut.
colbie caillat - mistletoe
(told you i was in a holiday mood)

so we spent a weekend with julie's mom and stepdad. we spent the night getting scared outta our minds. it was halloween weekend and there were haunted houses everywhere. we found one that suited our taste and yep. had a good scream that night. *cough*
so here's julie with her cat sophie. FREAKING CUTE. omggg. so soft and it loves to be hung upside down for some reason. anyway, it's an adorable thing.
for the firs time in my life, i like cats.

then there's sophie the dog. she's a huge ass dog. i thought my boy was FAT but no. she wins hands down. seriously. she's so fat that her head's no longer proportionate to her head.

donning my favourite colours! hahaha. we were preparing to go out apple picking.
we were going to make apple cider and we all were not well prepared for the cold.
thank god for julie's many many many coats.
though my feet still froze over because i was wearing lousy sneakers. tsk.

she hates her own dog. so this is quite a big step for her.
hahaha :D

organic apples!

lo showing off her tree climbing skills. the best part was climbing the trees and bouncing on the branches. hurhur. the really tricky part was climbing down. the branches would poke you all over and in very (cough) intimate places.
very uncomfortable.

our apple presser thing.



mmmmmm :D gooood gooood apple cider.
there is no way in the world that anyone could starve in the states.
IMPOSSIBLE.

it could be that i'm in ny and it's the best place to get carried away. i went shopping for my sister's gift and they gave me additional coupons to spend. this is HORRENDOUS. my savings are depleting so fast.
AND now i'm addicted to holiday jolly songs. SOMEONE help me! hahahaha.
i'm too jolly for my own good.

:) it snowed today! and it was soo white. my first snow! :) we had a mini snowball fight! it was really fun!
i love this weekend! it was really busy though. it's the finals season so i did a hell lot of mugging, wrote two papers, read all the shit. still got more to finish before tomorrow. sigh. but anyway we went to watch the nutcracker! :) it was amazing! i love the music. the dancing was intense. all that splits in the air by the crazy chinese tea guy. crazy! it was intense! the kids were so cute. and the seats were really good even though we paid like 40bucks for them. we could see the orchestra and still could see alot even though we were seated far. okay i'm going to stop. i don't make sense.
then today we went shopping. MORE XMAS PRESENTS! :) but my money is depleting. shucks. plus the gifts i want to get for my brother and my mother are pretty expensive. so maybe some of you won't get gifts! haha kidding. no la. i saved alot from the past few months so i'm good :) hopefully i won't get stopped for overweight luggage again.

i'm losing steam. got so much work to do but i can't get my ass down to doing it. roar.
GOOD LUCK GUYS! aim high :D sea games' gonna be a blast!
and just like ships, we float through each other's lives
through the water of beauty and grace
we will one day dock at the same port
and give a rest to our weary legs
there is a light placed up in the sky
like a stained glass, time slows down
i wish i could sleep
i wish i could dream
