the timeline
the street lawyer
one book i forgot the name and have returned to norman.
eeks! - no, that's not the name of a book.

it's been so novelish that i've started to think like a novel "There she was, walking down the corridor, wondering what might greet her at the end of it. Then to her relief, she found what she was looking for. Sustenance to last the day. Despite the hunger pangs she suffered, and the comfort of her bed, she relished the leftovers and prefered to curl up in her bed, with her book of the week."
warau! that's like, i'm walking down the corridor, looking for food, cos i was too lazy to go downstairs to get some nosh. then to my delight! i found some stuff to eat, and continued to snuggle in my bed with my book.
and the novel stuff gets narrated in my mind even though i'm doing the most mundane stuff s.a. brushing my teeth "she was going through her daily routine, sleepyfaced in front of the mirror, she slowly brushed her teeth...", rummaging the fridge "her hunger pangs were more than she could bear, and she managed to settle with whatever she could find in the dark recesses of the dank fridge" u can just imagine the rest.. hahaha... *sian*

anyway, reading "the street lawyer" by john grisham is soo enlightening.. yes i think i sound like a bimbo now.. -_-" anyway it's basically a high flying lawyer set for greater success, when suddenly a 'life changing' incident makes him realise he needs a change in his life. i'm not gg into the details in case some of u wanna read it and i'm spoiling it for u.. so the point is, materiality is soo.. hmm prima facie.. hehe.. u can tell/psyche yourself that 'yah, i don't really need this, it's a want, not a need, so i dont have to waste money on it'.. so it's real easy to overcome what u want! i.e., see in the shopping mall, etc.. anyway, i have so many bags and clothes, and since i don't usually dress as nicely as i would want to, clothes and bags are necessarily a want. haha.. besides, i can't exactly spend as much as i want to.. so given the restraint, it's so much easier to not buy anything! hehe.. so yes, affordability and budget restraints are key.. :P hope it will still be the same when i get a tiny windfall soon.. :X

llalala, just came back from a wake, a christian one at mt. vernon, and met many relatives i've never met before.. dad's side, and his cousins.. waahah... my family is so scandalous... got one uncle, he's got 2 wives! woooo.. one malay and one chinese.. have no idea how he's juggling.. his logic "my dad had 2 wives, i want to be like my dad" 0_0... and another one, she's the founder of Elsie's kitchen! ooo.. it's a catering company and actually owns the foodcourt in temasek poly! ooooooo and she does loads of catering and stuff.. hahaha.. but one thing sad tho, it's the first case in singapore, where her husband threw their kids down, and he jumped soon after.. so sad.. :( leaving her behind... another was sooo pretty during her younger days, and in the words of pa "she had so many boyfriends, until she never marry" wahahahhahaha!!! aiyoh... i know i shouldn't be laughing, but the way he said it was so funny.. haha..another doctor auntie, with her doctor husband, a bit of snobbish air, and spoke to my grandma in english! aye, ur auntie leh.. how can u not know her at all...-_- anyway it was a small little reunion, so sad that funerals are the only times for this.. bet the next 'reunion' is a couple of years away..

my foot hurts like hell now.. sigh.. bloody heel.. any idea what's the condition/whatever, on the sole at the hell, in the bone, if u get what i mean. it's tender to walk on and i always have to sorta tiptoe.. dammit..
blah blah blah..ok lah i have to 'nurse' my headache already.. and if u know me, there's only one thing i'll do....
