Oh well, for the rest of my days.. Wednesday till Friday, nothing much really happened.
On one of those days, we ate at Cheezecake =]] It was really nice.. Marvelous cheesecakes and desserts. A very comfortable place to sit in and the service was good too. =] Oh, if you wanna study, that place is pretty conducive too ^^
We went to Kobayashi on one of the days too. However, we changed our minds cuz they awfully long to serve us. Wait, isn't that on the same day we went to Cheezecake?? ^^;; Okay, fine, whatever~
And it was papers, papers and more papers. For the first time ever in my life, I STUDIED for them!! How cool is that!? And yeah.. That's because I've been slacking real badly at the start of the year and flunk almost all my important subjects. I told myself that I better buck up and here are my Mid-Years. So far, my science and geog was alright. But my Mother tongue and history sucked! Pray for the best for tomorrow's math x_X
On Friday, we Steph, Mir and I went to the Kinokuniya too, at Taka. I didn't buy any books, neither did Mir but Steph did. She bought two. Anyway, we spent some time there.. Steph and I were telling her about the books that we've read. Well, about two must-read books, actually. They are none other than The Little Prince and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Well, let me provide you guys some comments to these books respectively.
Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. Richard Howard's new translation of the beloved classic-published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's birth-beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style. Howard, an acclaimed poet and one of the preeminent translators of our time, has excelled in bringing the English text as close as possible to the French, in language, style, and most important, spirit. The artwork in this new edition has been restored to match in detail and in color Saint-Exupéry's original artwork. By combining the new translation with restored original art, Harcourt is proud to introduce the definitive English-language edition of.

It's even gotten a Special-Edition version!!
Product Description
Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.
This improbable story of Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years.
Other review
Now, enough about books.. Back to my life. Had my tuition. And Saturday came. Met Jenny and we did her... *ehem* it's a secret and we, as in my family, had our dinner at Newton Hawker Centre. It could have been a VERY pleasant night, well, it was pleasant but not VERY. The story went like this.
I ate at about 6+ and went back to my computer, feeling really full and was in no mood to go out. Suddenly, my aunt asked me if I wanted to eat out. Ultimately, I said no. However, just as I said no, my grandmother came along and asked me the exact same question she just asked me. Out of respect and sort-of formality, or wadeva you call it, I said yes - with reluctance. I did, however, tell my aunt that I was full already and was in no state to eat anymore food and she nodded her head.
Now, the sad fact is that although she had nodded he heads, my words seemed to have turn to deaf ears for when we reached NHC, she was sort of mad at me. Asking rhetorical questions on why I wasn't eating. Actually, I did eat but a lil. I just smiled at her and said "nah.." While in my heart, I was thinking, didn't I tell you that I'm full?! -_-
Anyway, I got home and went online. Mir was talking to me and she laughed her head off when I related to her the above story.. Weird! Oh! and Franky showed me this cool website... It was a study on the history/religion kinda thing... And it was AMAZING. Oh shoot! I forgot the website address!! Well, it's something gotta do with WBS? If I'm not wrong.. Anyway, check it out yourself XD
And today came. Was studying with Siput and Penguin. And then Anthony came along =]] I bought some breads for myself XD And I was like Anthony's young momma~ Lol! Went to the clinic and talked to the receptionist XD Well, fine, I know that that was lame. Whatever.
Was chatting on MSN just now.. And hehe that was cute XD Mrs Wong talking with her admirer =]] Hehe.. And I was an extra in between XDXD Oh wells, being a friend of populer people is fun ya know XDXD anyways!! Good luck people! In everything that you do!! Be it in your Friendship, Love-Life, Studies, or Woteva! =D
Oh, and last but not least, here's a photo of me. It's the latest pass photo I took XD remember, on the 23rd of April or so?? Hehehe Yepz! ^o^
GAAHH!! Don't look at it too long!! I swear, it's not a really pretty sight BUT the longer you look at it, the weirder it look.. I do not know why... But that's they way it is. So, just a glance will be more than enough ^^;; hhehehhe
Oh.. And I had this inspiration to compose something. Say, a story, poem or a song or whatever a few days ago. However, I'm not sure when the hell I'm gonna start doing that something XD haha! It's just like how I've wanted to update this blog sometime ago, say a day or two ago, but couldn't.. XD HAHA
Anyway~ that's it for now~~ =D cheers!
