Haha I spent yesterday moving all my furniture, on an impulse.
Okay not so much an impulse, I mean I do shift my furniture every year-end holidays (just can't seem to get an optimum working condition) and I was planning to do it, just not exactly yesterday.
So I woke up at 8.50, had fish porridge breakfast- can you believe it, lmao. The World Is Changing! & watched "This Small Space" and "Debbie Travis- painted house" on tv. Those shows are okay, but I prefer Debbie Travis' original series. Anyway, I got out all the Ikea magazines and looked at them, and marked out my room and cut out little pieces of furniture, all drawn to scale, so that I could see the various combinations. And I've decided to just maintain the wall colour, which is a very light yellow (but not quite pastel) so that it wouldn't be too inconvenient. So with the walls and floor bland, I wanted to have strong splashes of colour on the furniture. Eg red, green etc. I originally wanted to get a red computer desk from Ikea but my dad has a same one, unused, in white, so I thought might as well just use that. I'll try to get a red bin, maybe? And a red light.
So I rolled up my sleeves and out went the old computer table, into the living room which is pretty much in disarray right now xD The new computer table isn't in my room yet though, dad hasn't transferred the computer. My skinny table which was used to hold my junk is also out, my bed shifted all the way to the window area, my other table shifted and is now kinda sticking out at the back of the bed, near my wardrobe. Then I shifted my storage unit and my bedside table all the way in near the windows too, and am going to put up my photo frames on top of it on the wall, and perhaps a mirror too. A cockroach leapt out while I was cleaning- Yuck! I should really stop eating in my room, lmao. Then I put on my Hilary Duff Metamorphosis CD which I used to listen (and thought was the absolute coolest xD) in P6, and started packing all my stuff. Haha believe me when I say it's a LOT of work. Like all the junk I amassed the whole year.
We went out for lunch, dad and I, to Northpoint. I was looking around at the foodcourt and saw this kid perhaps 1 or 2 years younger than me, staring at me. It was weird. And freaky ._.
Haha anyway so I bought assesments (T_T) and then went home to pack some more. Put on my contacts and changed into my funky afro-wearing person shirt with the drawn on suspenders and my lovely black skinny jeans and my new skechers, and went to Orchard with dad for dinner, mom met us there. Ate at Din Tai Fung, and later went to get my camera checked. Yay now we can use it again. But I already have a new camera. Haha. I feel bad for my parents' wallet. Anyway. We went to TOPMAN !!!!!!!
This is so important and so big an event that it warrants 7 exclamation marks, lmao. WE WENT TO TOPMAN.Haha mom and I coerced dad into trying a pair of jeans. He seriously needed new jeans! Couldn't stand his high-waisted, farmer-like jeans. He looked as if he had just stepped out of a 1980s movie, please. Haha. Anyway, he bought them! Haha okay I didn't make him try on skinny jeans or anything, it was just a classical dark low-waisted pair that looked good. Awesome. My dad's first foray into the world of fashion :PPP And later we went to Takashimaya at Ngee Ann to get some more clothes for dad (: Yay haha. We got him this lovely purple striped polo shirt from some good brand which name I have forgotten, and two white shirts for work (which look tons better than the huge baggy shirts that he insisted on wearing previously- which made him look like dumbo the elephant with his gigantic flapping sleeves), and one lovely brown and cream striped polo from guy laroche (pronounced ghee, by the way) which reminds one of chocolateee(: Haha okay shopping's always good, even if it's for someone else. And we did spend quite a lot of money but my dad shops like, once a year. I should try to get him to change his specs, it'll take YEARS off his face(: Haha okay then we shopped until slightly past 10, and were very tired, so drove home, washed up, ate a banana, drank some water and promptly went to sleep (on the couch, my bed was too dusty xD) Today I woke up chao early! Haha idk what time exactly but dad woke up to go jogging and I woke up too. Read the papers, cleared up my room some more (it's more or less done- just needs a good dusting and the computer to be shifted back in) and then had breakfast, salmon porridge. Oh I also did my stretches and 50 sit ups(: Yay and it's only 9.51 am haha I feel productive. But the bad thing is, I don't know what to do after this. Gaaaah. But well. I think we're watching Enchanted later tonight. And we're going to the gym later! Lalala. Okay, last thing before I go: I DID IT. 50, 000 words in 30 days. Am I good, or am I good? Smirks.

It's all about Me.

CFPS, RGS, RJ
Sometimes I like stillness and silence, but I get restless easily. I am happy when I am doing new things and when my days are jampacked. I am happy when around
friends and family.
I like anything which has a dignified air, and also anything that is seemingly effortless. I write poetry and prose, when I can. (No guarantees about standard of said
writing.)
But the best moments are when we're all laughing till our sides hurt, till we're gasping for air, and we're tearing. When the endorphins kick in full blast. I live
for these moments.
I am a work in progress. I am constantly trying to find myself. I have a bucket list, it is ambitious.
What you see here is only 0.1%, the rest goes into my diary.
Maybe some other day.
