Presents on the Way!

Slowly but surely, all the backlogged photos will be uploaded; Travelogs will get done. i'm getting there!!

Just had the best dinner in months. the first chinese dinner i've cooked in 2 full months.. gawd.. it's long. i've just been too busy or rather, too lazy to cook. hotdogs have been my staple food for the past 2 weeks. get it out of the fridge, swish it into the microwave, zap it for 40secs and voila! goes well with brioches.

Sis will be here in less than 24hours! the first of my family to come and visit me! hopefully mum will come next year before i return to singapore. mummy bought me a new camera! 7.1megapixel nikon coolpix S200 - simple, easy to use and yet sophisticated; perfect for camera idiots like me. finally, something to replace my beyond ancient nikon 3.1MP. the shutters don't even open properly anymore though the camera still works. might try and get it fixed and sell it for a ten-er or sthg.. hahaha~ in return my mum asks for "astonish" oven and stove cleaner o_O||| (apparently this super duper amazing cleaner that cleans off all her tough stains) yea, i'm astonished alright.. i wish my mum would ask for something she wants for herself and not for the household, in particular, a cleaning product. FAINTz...

Planning my trip back to singapore for the 21July - 12 August 2007 after reviewing the production schedules and asking my prof when he'll be in town. these dates still need to be approved so will ask during my meeting on thurs with Martin. will see u guys then if all goes well!! and btw, ken is pouting cos i've decided not to fly back with him on BA - i've got a GBP1000 budget so yea, i think i'll go for SQ. sigh... i think i'm becoming so spoilt.

Speaking of which, another group of Tappies are coming end july. they are getting MORE allowance than us! urgh... maybe cos their special - they're not TAPs but STRATs. anyway, i've decided that there is no end to comparison, not just with this issue in particular but with everything. humans are selfish by nature and singaporeans have the xtra kiasu gene and competitive allele so it makes things all the more complicated. we should all remember to be thankful for all that God has blessed us with - count our blessings daily! it'll definitely make the world a better place :)

Realised that i've been relying a lot on my own strength lately to accomplish things, planning things according to how i like it, how i want it, how i envisage it to be blah.. and chucking God aside, forgetting what He wants, that He is my Maker and that He is in control always. Sorry God, let me always be humble and seek u first in everything.

and Lord, please give me the strength to evangelise to pple - a few in particular...
