bbc looked down on people!! hahaha. not like 29 is alot. but some of the books are really very classic classics. some i read through abit and gave up at some point of time.

WHEN. when will i have the leisurely time to read again? i have been reading for modern lit, not veryvery enjoyable reads when you have a deadline to finish it and you start hallucinating abt all the possible qns the lecturer will throw at you as you read.

recess week is ending~ two more days!

-

gya went to the asian civilisations musuem on monday. it was a random move after a ramen lunch and coffee at tcc. let's go eat the cakes at nectarie another day(:.

meeting up with old friends is always a pleasant activity(:. saw chocbar and leeyarn ytd. we went to coffee bean after dinner. coffee after meal! such a leisurely activity^^

and nxt tues im meeting my 05a5 gurls!! omg. i haven't seen them fr ages. i think the last time we all met up was either in late 2007 or early 2008. =SSS. hahah. nvmm. 21st bdaes are perfect legitimate reasons for meetups:DD.

-

i really haven't been spending time too wisely this week but i guess i did wind down a little(:. though sleep is still a scarce commodity and brain cells continued to deplete. at least i had some fun still:D.

DAMN. i still want to watch a MOVIE.

my last movie was slumdog millionaire though. it was a pretty exciting show:DD. and it ended with the cute bollywood dance. hahah. it was about how a young man answered all the questions on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and how his life experiences were connected to the correct answers he gave.

okay i shld stop hanging arnd.
