Happy week

hey blog, last week was supposed to be a holiday, but apparently it was nothing different. guitar called me back from tues to fri. session durations ranging from 3hs to as long as 9hs. yeah, it was nuts, considering that we already prac 3 days a week on normal school days, each 3hs. some more today i spent 5hs at republic poly, just to familiarize itself with the syf venue. haiz, i wonder how much more of my time will be munched off by guitar... argh, it's all because of syf.

sad things aside, looking on the brighter side... on tues, the women in my family, i.e everyone except my dad (we kept him in the dark, lol) went out to 'celebrate' my b'dae. okay, it was more of a treat given by my sisters. da jie treated us on the dinner and erjie, on the movie. mom, da jie, er jie and i headed to ps. walked around, couldn't find a decent western restaurant (western food was what i requested for), and we ended up in the dreaded cafe cartel... lolz, i've been there a substantial number of times, but i never had good encounters (food was expensive and a particular sandwich i once ordered was too salty...), and thus a bad impression had formed. anyway, since all of us were females and in constant pressure not to get fat, we ordered 3 main dishes (although there were 4 of us) and a side order of cheddar fries. this time, somehow, the food was better, n i didn't feel the pinch as da jie was paying for it all. :) after that, we walked to the cathay to catch a movie, marley and me. oh btw, mum didn't want to join us as she felt that movies are a waste of time and money, and felt that she wanted to shop for necessities. that's my mum for u, she didn't bulge despite us persuading her a little. marley and me was pretty cute and FUNNY at some parts. certainly heart-warming. :) at the end of the day, i was a little exhausted, but i had a great time with my sisters and mum.

skip forward to the weekend. on fri, i was soooo sad, why? cos survivor was not aired... on sat, i baked a batch of pretty successful oatmeal+walnut+choc chip cookies! apart from what i did, i've received 2 new things that i hold very dear to me. they are my bible and my TABLE TENNIS BAT! yay!!!!! yippeee! for the bible, i have finally an old king james bible, not the new king james version (which was the one i was having), it was a little hard for me to follow my pastor, who uses the old kj, and my congregation too. also, my table tennis bat! im so in love with table tennis now, and i can't wait to spar with my dad, lol, he represents his club in table tennis, but i believe that with my perseverance, i will beat him one day. :) anyway, an update about my sports profile, i love table tennis, soccer and tennis. :) hehheh, can't help but profess it here. :D
