Am crazily behind and have totally failed in my wait for the i5 but...here's my first ever post from my new white i4!

Five weeks. Just five more weeks to go.

Bit of time to squeeze in some musings before bed!

In all honesty, I can't believe it's only mid-week. But it is already a double-digit internship week, my goodness! This week has somehow felt excruciatingly long so far. Have long finished my stories for October and am currently waiting (with fingers crossed, no less!) for what I will be partaking in November. Sometimes, while sitting at my desk, I stare at the three issues so far that I have helped out with and really wonder if I could have done more. I need to start taking bigger steps - and fast. Also, living two months ahead for the past five months have been somewhat surreal - I keep thinking about the things tha are gonna happen then and cannot imagine life on its own, now.

Today was one of those slow office days. Truth to told, days have been slow since most of the people sitting around me have left. I managed to make my escape early and came back home only to fall into a long nap. Sigh. Really need to start making good work of my free time.

That said, I am quite excited for the couple of weeks ahead, sort and long term plans and things to look forward to (SHINee World Concert, anyone? I still love them boys!!!). I have been wrecking my head over wondering just how on earth I am going to be able to deal with the sudden loss of an already meagre income when internship ends though - and just how possible is it to save for Seoul next March?

Tsk. Happy mid-week everyone! Hope you aren't in a slump (like this fat lump over here).

It's tiring sometimes. Harbouring thoughts about people and having assumptions turn ugly. I honestly have zero energy to channel toward negativity anymore so I can safely say I'm fine. But to see others get bothered by it, I don't know what to think or say. I can't help because I really don't think I can, at least not for now.

A couple of days ago, I spotted one of those prettified thingums on Tumblr that people are sure to reblog. By the way, things that fall under that category include a picture of a Starbucks Green Tea Frappe or a bunch of OPI nail polish or even a fyeahskinny girl tousling her hair while staring at her toes. Or is she, usually?

But yeah this one was different, it was a list of things, scrawled on paper and titled 'A List You Should Remember'. I thought this was a pretty innovative idea because way too often we whine and grumble about the smallest things and not give much thought to why we are lucky in every sense. Also, sometimes we just need to be jolted into remembering the reason behind certain things we do. I gather everyone's list will more or less be different, depending on your priorities and lifestyles.

So, I made a simple list of 10 things and it goes:

A List You Should Remember

1. You will always feel guilty after eating that burger after 8pm. Always.
2. Remembering things like tidying up your desk daily or organising your folders go a long way.
3. Time heals.
4. Time flies.
4. Money spent on your loved ones is always more gratifying.
5. I am worth all of it.
6. You will never regret the outcome of coming out of something tough.
7. Study. Hard.
8. You are a girl who reads.
9. You are constantly changing.
10. Your mother is always right.

Weeks have been a blur and days seem to have started mashing themselves together really quickly. Most of the interns have left the company and gotten back on track with their own lives but I managed to meet the bunch of them Friday night at Timbre. Goodness I still can't believe I won't be able to see everyone in one place anymore - no more rejoicing over fish soup on Thursdays or going on mini escapades to town for lunch!







To Carina, thanks so much for showing me how determined a person can get, how someone can get so far-fetched yet have her head tightly screwed on all at the same time. Will never forget snack box times and the trips to level 4 for its sacred vending machine of grape fruit gummies and rollercoaster snacks!


Everything aside, went back to school today and got struck with the reality of our fast approaching final sem. I think it's time to get back on track on deciding what I can do after my final year in TP.

Before I go, I should really recommend you read this. A light-hearted tongue in cheek account of being a Tiger girlfriend by Carina. Had me smiling reciting her recounts to us personally on one of our many cab rides to town (or back?). Check out the rest of the writings on Her World.com too - they get way too little credit!

Have a happy Sunday!

All I do is dream and not move or go anywhere. But then again, that's what dreams are supposed to be for, right?
