Simplicity is Divine

I've finally come to realise where my favourite shopping hangout is - the Supermarket. If i take the no. of times i visit the supermarket a wk multiply by the amt i spend every visit in a month, 2 x $15 x 4 = $120, i would actually be able to purchase 3 tops and a bottom from bugis village! I like to shop alone, and sometimes with Fish. And that's because it's the only time when he tells me i can have anything i want and he pays for the groceries, plus i love bonding time! We hardly spend time together, and we'd make several trips to the market everytime he books out.

And i've recently adopted the semi-healthy lifestyle, semi because the areas which im lacking are partially diet and solely exercise. i dun exercise and that's probably why i fall sick so often. However i've been feeling good and happy! My leathery skin is recovering, my migraines occur less than often and most importantly, I GO TO SCHOOL.

I was just relating this to a fwen - About how simple my life has been these few wks, from hectic late nights to absolute ennui to self-contentment. I'm still probably at level 2, and i feel that everyday i'm learning. This morning, my mom almost knocked a person down, scratch that, the man almost got himself knocked down. He was astounded and so were we! He literally jumped backwards when my mom honked at him(and this was the look on his face O_O!!!!!!!!!!!). It was a little scary but my dad taught me smth (indirectly), he said that man was probably from China, lived in the suburbs, wanted to make more for his family. In China, the traffic infrastructure is built differently from ours here, so he probably looked the other way when he was crossing the road, hasnt gotten quite used to it here i guess. Lol so my mom said he was scared out of his wits when he made his way across the road. And they were debating whether it was a person's attitude or recklessness that causes accidents. She also said it was his mistake for walking w/o making sure it was safe to walk, but "he's not the only one who does it, everyone makes that mistake, when you don't look carefully into the windscreen etc". Nvr knew my mom could be so deep HAHAHAHA.

And im thankful for my parents, it's not everyday ppl get to spend quality time with their parents, or ask how their day went, if we made a new fwen in school. Someone said children make mistakes because parents don't spend enough time with their children to correct them, teach them, so they find other alternatives to mi bu (compensate) them, and the time lost. Today my parents inspired me! =D~

Sometimes i have this uncanny feeling whenever my mom says smth totally unexpectedly, and i think,"hey that was exactly what was on my mind". For instance, when my godmother ask my mom why she wore out her new shirt she just got this morning and teased her,"Who you wanna show it off to?", she replied in Teochew," No one la, i don't dress up for others to see, i dress up for myself, make myself happy can alr". So cool~ Well most ppl wouldnt buy that cos most ppl are too concerned abt what others think of them, and dress to impress. I still do care, but their opinions hold little regard and have little influence on me since. Which is.. positive!

I'm so much like my mother, my dad always claims that we're so similar, that i cant make up my mind on clothes, i always ask others usually the family if i dressed ok, if the shoes matched, that's partly cos i don't have a life-sized mirror at the balcony and sometimes, i just feel diffident and needed some encouragement. And he told me once," If you like someone just go ahead, have a relationship with him, don't bother about what your mother say(abt having more options etc), she can be very nonsense and wants everything to be done her way." ROFL, so like me! He says im veri idealistic, super hygiene freak, and a perfectionist. Lol which reminds me that Eric always tell me funny facts about myself that i nvr realised till he mentioned and i'll go " YA YA YA!!". Lol. he's sick, and i wish him well and i'll pray for him the next time i visit the temple. HONOURED TO BE ON PRAYING LIST?

Anyway, my life has probably been sch-home-market-family outings. I like it, but i reckon i'm gonna get sick of it sooner or later since i havent met close fwens for the last couple of wks. But i really enjoy it, i like the short quiet time spent drinking my paopaoccha while walking home everyday, having mommy's home-cooked food, feeling energised when i wake up in the morning and having all the time to read and think to myself.

Because awhile ago, i had been having this conflicting psychic struggle about letting go all those material stuff and spending less money, only necessarily (tho i still don't but still trying!) and i told Fish about it. About how i wanted to start salsa lessons a yr ago with Attap-Chi, about jogging, about slping early about being less self-centred and nvr got about doing it. He's so learned~he told me plain talk doesnt get anything done, it's the cause of action i choose to take that will ultimately change my course of direction and achieve my goal. I'm so glad i have him, he's always there to advise me, inspire me and understand me, not every guy can do that! Most of the time, it takes another person to help you understand yourself and Fish definitely knows me better than i do myself. So i've finally taken the first step to slping early! Easy said, it was so hard cos an activity like chattin on msn or dota cld delay my slp for more than an hr.

And just ytd, you told me i had become somewhat a woman. that means im growing up AND GROWING OLD. Not that i really mind, but it's kinda sad! And i've got this weird tendency of being a little girl when im with you, i wonder if that'll change when i age. you tell me to keep it natural and it keeps me sane. I'm your warm cup of milo right? o^_^o

Oh and I really admire girls who can do foul faces, big pouts and make their face blown up and still look cute, lol, i just cant do it and still look good, probably infront of my mom just to aggravate her cos she says it looks really ugly,"want to act cute also not like that one mah". HAHAHAHA. But i just like it. my mommy is pulchritudinous, in every aspect. And i want to be just like her.

And this is my baby nieces singing Caocao! Been doing this alot with them!
