3 days to flight | 4 days to touchdown
i've moved most of my stuff out....all that's left is my luggage, some laundry to be done, my cutting mat ( i just realised i forgot to pack it! ), a card from candice is still on the wall and of course my lappy and speakers.
room's so bare it's..... hard for me to describe the feeling. even my bed has been stripped of its sheets and pillows....guess tonight will be back to the basics for one last time. it all brings me back to 29th sept 02, when i first stepped into my room and loneliness just hit me.
that empty feeling is back, but i figure it's just for now.....and it reminds me of how much i already have!
so this is it i guess. one school year has passed and i'm heading home. so much happened in those 9 mths and i guess i ought to thank all you out there who stood by me when i was so down, who listened to my whines & tears, and made me the stronger person i am today. you all know who you are.....
especially you, who made the hurt and emotions deep inside me, so so much easier to bear.
God, whom i know has never forsaken me despite me being away from Him.
lastly, for every single person i know :: i wish you love....

4 days to flight | 5 days to touchdown
it's 2.49am and i'm still packing...moving my stuff out tomorrow. kinda miss my hall already. come to think of it, i think it has served me very well....... 9 mths of sleep, eat, tears, laughter and screams.....and finally i'm leaving it for good. no words can explain how i really feel now. so many events that have taken place in this room and yet they are all only for me to know, for me to take with away only as memories inside my mind. memories that i don't think can ever be shared or removed.
will miss my cosy life confined in this room, the noises, the thin walls but i definately wont miss the thief!
am moving on to another phrase of my life, and i will never look back and regret.
every single thing was a lesson well learned.
tata greenwich, tata lonely life.
looping this as i pack my life up....
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

i suddenly realised the true meaning of "no news is good news".... oh well.
this is one good song.
You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You Think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that.
I'll tell you you're right when you want...
Oh Oh oh-oh-oh-oh
And if only you could see into me...
Oh when you're cold I'll be there to hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, you're so much better than you know
When you're lost, and you're alone and can't get back again
I will find you darling, and I'll bring you home
And if u want to cry I am here to dry your eyes,
and in no time you'll be fine.....
You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that.

Oh, oh
If only you could see into me....
Oh when you're cold I'll be there to hold you tight to me, baby.
Ohh when you're alone I'll be there by your side baby, by your side baby.
Oh when your cold I'll be there to hold you tight to me, to me baby.
Ohh when you're alone I'll be there by your side baby.

*GRRRRRRRR*
Top 10 Ways to Jump-Start Weight Loss
by Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.
1. Eat protein at every meal, including breakfast.
2. Eliminate wheat- and flour-based products for the time being. And yes, that definitely includes bread and pasta.
3. Eat unprocessed foods. Ninety percent of what you eat should be food that could have been hunted, caught, gathered from the ground or plucked from a tree.
4. Reduce starch to one portion a day, and don't eat that portion during your evening meal. Best choices are oatmeal, sweet potatoes and beans.
5. Don't overdo fruit: two a day maximum, and only the low-sugar, high-fiber variety. Apples, pears, plums and berries all are good choices. Bananas are not. For now, fruit should be eaten alone or with something light like nuts or a little cheese. Lose the fruit juice.
6. Reduce or eliminate dairy for the time being, especially cow's milk. Exceptions: reasonable amounts of cheese and occasional portions of yogurt, but not the fat-free kind (it contains way too much sugar).
7. Lose the booze. Despite what the "studies" say, you lose no health benefits by giving up alcohol. There is nothing essential in alcohol that you can't get in fruits and vegetables.
8. Stop using vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower and corn. The supermarket kind is highly refined, and it oxidizes easily when heated, contributing to arterial plaque. Use olive oil instead.
9. Watch which types of fat you're eating. The amount of fat you eat is probably less important than the kind of fat you eat. The worst are fried foods, margarine and foods that contain hydrogenized or partially hydrogenized oils. The best is omega-3, found in fish and flaxseed oil.
10. Obsessively drink water: at least eight or more large glasses each day. Every day. No excuses.

its friday! and tomorrow morning i will be heading to Paris!! *grin* me and Pennapa are going to spend 3 nights in Provence, without having booked any hotel. see how we 2 gals will survive in France. heh
will go pack now i guess.....feeling weird. excited but yet unsure.
oh!! went to Wetherspoons just now for after dinner dessert and these 2 China guys approached me, trying to pick me up. Asked where i was from and they were genuinely surprised that a Singaporean can speak Mandarin (guo yu).
tsk tsk, and i thought that only the ang moh's were ignorant. seems like the Chinese aint any better!

wed: went out and finally caught the Matrix. while the fight scene is good, i must say it's too bloody long!! The second half of the movie was better though....couldnt catch the words in certain parts ( i know i am not the only person!!! ), so am going to look for the script online. hmmm.
came back and packed some of my stuff, in preparation to move out. *sigh* so much nonsense i have acculmulated in just 9mths. gave up halfway and decided to watch 'Cast Away'. Fininshed it @ 5.30 am...........and so i only woke up @ 4pm.
yeeps. just screwed up my body clock again.
this blog is getting boring you know? i feel it myself...hmmm.
anyway, about the jeans i think i will go to paris first and come back to decide. so Candice, don't worry too much! i will somehow dig some $$$$ out for the diving classes!
"so many things to do, so little money"
Tuesday, June 03, 2003
it's 12.06pm, just woke up.....*yawn* going to get ready and go to Trinity college, for Junie's recital.
good news: went out yesterday to Bond street and i didnt buy anything! just err...10pounds on food @ Selfridges Food hall.
BAD news: i fell in love with a pair of 100pounds Levi's jeans.
ok. bet everyone's going:"what??? you aint going to pay S$280 for a pair of jean; are you?"
me: but but.....it's a Really nice pair of jeans, and you cant get it in spore (i think). besides, a pair of Diesel vintage processed jeans here retails for 110pounds, so my jeans is still not that expensive? ok. i am being very silly in trying to justify that this pair of jeans is worth my money. *sigh* I'm telling myself now to not spend too much in Paris, and come back to buy my jeans.
arghs.
why didn't i just get a job here last time.........
*fustrated BIG time*
got to go......
