parp!

for some weird reason that even Socrates cannot fathom i haven't been studying as hard as the first semester. no more fervent notes taking, and gone with reading the textbook everyday after school. my time's occupied with the most invisible things and thoughts, and i am so tired perpetually.

watching my sister fret over not having a packed schedule for the next 7 months is most unnerving. i never understood the urgency in these type of people to "do something" lest their restlessness consumes them. i'd kill to have nothing to do right now, and play with mimosa plants all day.

the last 3 things that bemused/puzzled/excited me :

1. seeing a Maserati upclose and fingering it with sheer lust

2. witnessing a Malay man eating bak kut teh right in front of me

3. splurging on a shopping spree with my mother

the last event is particularly eventful and memorable, cos my mom isn't the best shopping partner in the world. normally, she'd walk away with her arms folded in distaste, or throw me a "you-have-such-bad-taste" look that puts me to shame and despair whenever i pick up something from the racks.

ah, but in actual fact my mom just hates the way i hunt for the cheapest bargains and neglect the vital aspect of good quality. and so to my amazement she did not bat an eyelid when i chose the more pricey pieces and even purchased a freakin expensive top (in my opinion) for herself. and she gloated with such delight over it(which is gorgeous by the way), which was highly amusing.

my mom is not a miser afterall. Revelation.

having discovered Lush 99.5fm(not a link, ha!) yesterday morning, i've been hooked till now. it is the best thing that happened to me since losing 0.5 kg from all the diarrhea that went on last week.

if you like urban grooves, bossa nova and lounge music with not more than 2 commercials in a row for ur radio listening pleasure, do tune in to Lush 99.5. i'd hate to see such a God-send channel being axed cos most people prefer to listen to trash like insert-lousy-singer-of-choice.
