Tribute to Luqs
I love Luqs! Just look at my new blogskin. It's beautiful! And it has flash too, the butteflies actually flutter about. Still pictures are yesterday's news. I can see some people on my tagboard are jealous already. Haha.
Thank you Luqs! I owe you a treat. Seriously. :) Even though you might have done all this out of guilt.
  
  
(I don't think any of the links work. Because I'm a computer idiot and I don't know what I'm doing. To view the pics properly, just head down to http://www.flickr.com/photos/glamqueen - I've done up all my December photos there too.)
Went to Geylang for supper last week with Jings, Luqs and Jan. The ambience was actually pretty quaint and good for picture-taking, but none of us brought a camera, so here are some shots taken with random handphones. After days of learning to use the bluetooth technology, I've managed to get some pictures up. Although it's a tedious process because my handphone does not actually have bluetooth, and I lost the CD-drive to my laptop so I could only install the bluetooth to my dad's laptop. So the process is like this: Infrared to dad's handphone - Bluetooth to the dad's laptop - Thumbdrive the photos to my own computer - Upload. Beef Hor Fun and Tau Huay are seriously the perfect supper treats. But the funniest part of the evening had to be how Jings, Luqs and Jan missed their train back to school because Jings suddenly decided at the eleventh hour, when the last train was five minutes away, that he absolutely had to shit. As he rushed back down to the toilet, I watched Luq's and Jan's horrified and disbelieving expressions as they watched their last train come and go five minutes later. It was worthy of America's Funniest Home Videos. Haha.
   
   
I've been on a Ministry of Sound overload lately, and one thing that never fails to happen is taking pictures in their oh-so-gorgeous restroom. Went with Jan and Mel last Wednesday despite having a Thursday morning 9am lecture the next day. Bo, Shu, Nick, Adrian and Mark were there too so it was great being able to hang out with all my friends at one go. Jan, Mel and I headed off to Gotham halfway to get free drinks cos we were so broke, before coming back and hitting the dance floor and doing all sorts of stupid things and laughing for no reason. It was brilliant - somehow all the cares just disappeared for that one night and it was the most fun I've had for a long time.
I was talking to my neighbour (who has been calling me Amanda for as long as I can remember, and I never bothered correcting her, and it seems too late for that now) the other day and she was telling me how she wants to send her son abroad to study but he rejected the offer. It made me wonder if I made the right choice staying in Singapore. I like my course, I love the friends I've made, but I feel stifled in Singapore. I want the independence and the freedom that comes with going abroad and to be able to grow up and explore things on my own. I was all ready for University of Melbourne - I had their acceptance letter in my hands. My neighbour was saying how she thinks that in University, it's a time for kids to finally grow up and experience living with their friends. And I desire that kind of freedom. I don't want my father calling me when I have early morning lectures to make sure I've woken up - I'm sure I've gotten to the stage where I can be relied on to wake up for my own lectures and make my own decisions. I know he cares for me and stuff, but still it gets annoying. I want to break free. My mom thinks that I'm growing up too fast. But I think it's high time. Maybe it's the fact that I'm an only child which makes it harder for my parents to let go.Which is perhaps why I so badly want to stay in hall this semester. My German neighbours next door (they have the cutest little girl, Juliana) have put up these bright, joyous Chinese New Year couplets on their door accompanied by decorations. A few metres away, the Christmas holly is still on my door. It's highly ironic how they seem more excited by Chinese New Year than we are. Haha. I've got a comment thing at the bottom of each post as well as a tagboard to give people more options! Haha. If you like giving long insightful comments, the "Your thoughts?" buttom is perfect for you. But if you're like Jan and like to leave me random crappy notes about how she loves herself, tagboards are the way to go.
