Happy?

Today (I mean, yesterday) was a pretty good day. I don't know why but yes it is.
Woke up feeling very generous so I extended my breakfast buying service to my sister (I rarely buy people breakfast happily, let alone OFFER to buy) but she didn't take it because she had to go out for lunch with her colleagues at 11plus.

List of happy things today:
- THE WEATHER WASN'T SO TERRIBLE
- Official first day of using new phone (YAY)
- The battery lasts pretty long
- Made my lock screen time and date and day slightly more visible by changing the background to light blue
- Actually finished my fishball noodle during breakfast (usually I can't finish the last few mouthfuls because I get sick of the noodle taste)
- Thought today was Thursday so I had to clean the house but nope, I did it yesterday because today is Fridayyyyyy
- Remembering that I don't have classes on Thursday (until I get too busy with capstone, then the free time will be spent there)
- Forgot about self-prac, which starts at 5 so I didn't planned to go out earlier but still reach on time
- Still reach earlier than most people
- Dance lor (today the swag walk reminded me of the cactus-y dance in sec 1/2 because we walked something like that too but with less swag shoulders then HAHAHAHA) (and I don't have much swag)
- Found Cynthia who thought the hype for TFIOS was slightly too overrrrr too
- Hiok :D
- PASSED LEVEL 70 OF JELLY SPLASH AFTER LIKE 5 DAYS LOL (not even gonna try and get 3 stars because passing it is like pure luck)
- Dug through some old photos to post on insta (hehe) and found my all-time favourite extreme unglam picture of my brother (but I'm nice enough to not post it). Unfortunately, my sister doesn't have one (or I wasn't old enough to remember).

I think the worst thing today was just getting spicy nuggets from Old Chang Kee accidentally. Like I didn't even know they sell spicy nuggets????!!!?!?!??!!? But I changed the remaining with Jerald so everything's fine. OH and having sucky potatoes for lunch because they were burnt :((((

All these still don't really justify why I'm SO HAPPY today leh. Now I don't wanna go to sleep because I might wake up and be super duper grumpy but good night. And it seems extremely wordy above so here's a picture that can show how happy I am. (I feel like I might be Tris with the Amity serum injected lol [Insurgent reference])

P.S. Speaking of which, Divergent was like a pretty nice book but Insurgent just goes on and on. Like they run to some place, they are safe. Ten seconds later, the traitors come, then they go away. Then they come again, then they go again. Then they come YET AGAIN, and they go away. But I'm still about halfway through the book so I hope the plot gets better. Might be happy also because not reading Insurgent today might have contributed a little :P

P.P.S. Yesterday (or the day before yesterday) was a little happy too because it took me quite a while to find a shop that has the screen protector for my phone (even though it's a flagship phone, seriously) and I took the bus in a round because I haz concession [Home -> Far East -> Dhoby -> Home] (read: I could have walked but nah). And even though I have like a holiday bucket list which says to sew a laptop sleeve from scratch but I was too lazy and I have no money at the point of time during the two times I was at Spotlight so I ended up buying a Ripples sleeve again~ Like I saw the design on their FB page in the very morning and I was like "that's it man" and I got it in the same day. NO MOAR BAGS BECAUSE I GOT THREE FROM CAMBODIA YA.

And hello, it's been a while since I posted something hehe

Summary of the past week:
- My phone overheated and died :( Lost all my convos on whatsapp even though the chats are still there
- Dance
- More dance
- Read Divergent in about plus minus 2 days.

Yes. Very uneventful except for the books, so let's continue to today.

The reason I chiong finish reading Divergent yesterday because I wanted to finish before watching the movie today. I like to have my own imagination of the story before having a set image (or a whole move) to it. Even though it sucks because I would always prefer the book to the movie but it's ok, having imagination is important. Like how President Snow turned out to be exactly how I pictured, all Santa Claus-y and wearing the shade of colour I pictured him to be wearing too.

Unfortunately, the movie is not quite what I expected. There is a chasm but I thought it was filled with water? The Pit is super bright but I don't think it's supposed to be? They skipped a lot of parts like the super gross Edward-having-knives-in-his-eyes, I understand why it's not included even though I feel like it's crucial but things like Tris having 5 fears shown in the movie when she's supposed to have 6? Jeanine being inside Dauntless at the last part when she's supposed to be at Abnegation? Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? And ohohoh, Christina was supposed to be the one who took the flag because she's taller than Tris and she could reach the flag but in the movie Christina is shorter and Tris took the flag?

I should be less upset because I should have known books confirm provide more details than movies but sigh~

But ok, after the movie we went for Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day :D And it's our second year having FCD so we got a stickerrrr (not the ticket stub) for me, Choo, Ben while the rest got first year cause they weren't with us last year.

Met Dinis and Elysa there, hurhurhur.

And while I was trying to blog, Meowna came in the house and decides to loiter for an hour. Here's a picture

"I'm just gonna chill here, ya. Don't bother about me."

New phone coming tomorrow. Hehehehehe

BACK

I've been back since Sunday but it's ok. Pretty sure there're less than 10 readers anyway.

Never been away from home for this long (2 weeks) and there's so many things I've learned.
These kids may not have many things in their lives, but they appear to be contented (because we should not assume that they ARE, said Nara/Mr Ong/Mr Wong/Ms Jie Yi). So when will I stop thinking about what I don't have and count my blessings instead?

 

Their excitement of having lessons makes me wanna treasure my chance of receiving education because many of them want to learn so much, but they just aren't able to. (It's hard to really like my lessons because I just want to sleep sometimes but still.)

Which brings me to a side note that one day, we went to eat froyo because there's free wifi and we went to update instagram and whatsapp and check out exam results. And I got my highest GPA out of all sem (3.3636!!!!!!) (not cumulative) everrrrrrrrr in poly life. :')))))))))))) Which means my cumulative GPA improved. It's not veryyyyy significant but I achieved my primary goal which is to bring my GPA back to a 3.0 at the very least. Seriously, it teaches that it's damn easy to do/get something negative but making it good/getting the bad out takes soo much effort because overall, I only improve about 0.0896. 2 more sems left, I hope to bring only even highhhheerrrrrrrr.

Ok, honestly there are a lot of learning points, but I'm a little sian to continue already so I'll just post photos.

 HOBOS! And hoborary guest, Glennis

 On ze ox cart then A LOT of kids just climbed onto ours.

 Chick chick chick :D

COWWWWW (ku)

P.S. I think I look like a lobster when wearing a red shirt and tanned. And I'm too lazy to upload more photos because it takes a bit of time so too bad if you aren't my FB friend then :P
