Easter Monday...

Easter monday marked the beginning of my 'long awaited' holidays. Well actually i was in uni fr just three weeks and the holidays arrived. That is if i don't count the three weeks i spent in Newcastle. Hmmm the thought of Newcastle does bring happy memories which i would treasure for life. Some memories which not everyone gets to keep. After some reflection, i have realised that i have been pretty lucky in life. God has given me everything possible to allow me start life proper. I have a father who has always been there (besides the fact that he can be a real pain at times). He has been both a mother and father to me. I can proudly say i am what i am because of him. I have also been blessed with very good friends. My classmate, future collegue and friend once commented days before my 21st that i have very good friends. Yes! i have to agree with her. Her c omment did make me realise that i do take them for granted at times. I don't think i would want to lose them. They have been there in the darkest moment of my life. They have seen bawling and wiping my face with toilet paper (none of us had tissue paper). They know my family so well that i don't have to explain why it has to happen that way or why my family thinks that way. In terms of education, i have also been very fortunate. God has given me such a wonderful oppurtunity which my father could not have given me (not complaining) but i guess everyone has to live within their means. I cannot be too greedy and ask for me although i wish god would just give me one last oppurtunity. Last one...please god!!!! Please


Well i don't want to bore my readers any further. I will tell you guys how i spent my easter monday which a public holiday here in NSW!!!! Haha..So while my fellow Singaporeans were heading to work, school and worse!!! SITING FOR AN EXAMINATION!!!! I was in Parramata Westfield Shopping Center having some retail therapy. Actually to think about it..the last time i did some shopping for myself was two weeks before i headed back to Singapore for the summer holidays. I FINALLY bought myself a nice jacket and not the oversized, lok-cok jumper i wear to uni (according to Melati). I also bought myself a pair of earrings (wooden themed), a top, two necklaces, a bar of Rocky Road (for myself) and a GIANT bar for my best buddy, Oreo cheesecake and a chai latte. I left the westfield feeling contented BUT not satisfied! It was too early to head home. Although it seemed like it was nine plus from the sky (still trying to get used to the shorter days due to the onset of winter).

Melati and I then decided to head to Darling Harbour for dinner and coffee (again!! But hey!! i had chai latte REMEMBER??) We had subway sanwiches and i had a latte. We sat at the river front talking for quite some time, enjoying the cool breeze and just catching up. It was a very relaxed evening. We talked about the past, present and the future. We don't know what tomorrow might bring but we can definately dream! The night came to end too fast but i can say that by the end of it, i was CONTENTED and SATISFIED!! Thanks Mela for listening!

You can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and

Achieve any goal you set for yourself.
