good book to recommend!
check out Jennifer Weiner's Good in Bed. i havent been able to put it down ever since i started reading the book. as usual. the book is fantastically refreshing and it talks from a "large" woman's point of view. in unpolitically correct terms, a fat woman. its downright humourous and funny throughout the entire book, and surprisingly i found myself identifying with the main character, Cannie Shapiro, when it comes to dealing with relationships. of course i cant say i fit her shoes perfectly, but there is positively events in the story for women of the twenties to identify with. of course twas a happy ending in the end for Cannie, but it was enlightenment on her part in order to reach that happy ending. Besides the point that men DO look beyond women's weight when going after them.

It was in a survey when i had read before that men are more likely to go for women based on superficial looks, whereas women take a while to understand the man's character before going anything beyond.
is it really true? AHA. you tell me.

but really, jennifer weiner is good. i wonder if she had more books after "Good in Bed". This is her first book! heh.

im quite used to coming home, enjoying a lazy afternoon slacking reading and chilling out to music. the peaceful life that i want. and of course looking forward to wednesdays and thursdays nights when there's channelu SUPERSTAR on tv. :D makes life peaceful and enjoyable. of course, cant wait for dimsum dollies next monday when i laugh my head off :) grin.

schedule for the upcoming days.
wed: meeting ruoling for movie! whee she's watching "the island" with me. and i've already choped junhui to watch charlie and the choc factory with me. hee. :) of course, the usual with kailyn coming over to watch superstar together :)
thurs: kailyn watching superstar and sincity on my laptop. *shush* i know its R21 and im only TWENTY. no reminders thankyou. cmon, kailyn aint even 20 yet! AHA.
fri: last day at school, finally, this time round for real. meeting jun wanyu joycet fishball for lunch before rushing down to sentosa by 5pm for asoc camp.
sat: pushed tuition assignments for asoc camp, so i think im gonna conk out straight the minute i reach home from camp.
sunday: full day tuition :/ no choice considering there was camp 2 days before.
monday: back-to-driving lesson in the morning, hopefully deb's tuition in the afternoon before we all meet for dinner before going for dimsum dollies in the evening.

and so far, thats about it.
nothing planned from tuesday onwards, but i think it could be time i gave my ntu and nus friends a visit while school is still considered slack for them :) still thinking, so yeapps. of course, watching charlie and choc factory sometime next week. going frugal on movie tix, refuse to spend anything more than $8.50 on one tix. prolly check out SE K750i as well, cuz i should be relatively well off by then. hopefully. its gonna be my BIG SPLURGE for this set of income.
its interesting to notice how i spend my income.
for my VERY first income, i blew $400 immediately after i got my pay on my new phone in feb which barely came out for 1 week. man what a waste as the price dropped quickly after that. then i blew part of my relief teaching income last year during june on my fuji digital cam. $600 there. OUCH. then for my first tuition pay last november, i blew it on my baby zen at the creative fair. $489. OUCH OUCH. but i love my baby eons. and i guess, for this time's income, im gonna get myself a nice well worth handphone, which is the sony ericsson k750i which i've been eyeing for a long time. ever since it came out in july. early july i think. the new 3G SE phone is damn hot and sexy, but i figured i dont need a 3G phone yet and according to insiders news, if i buy a 3G phone now, i'd be paying for the research into further 3G which is something i dont want to. so yeapps, i'll stick to a tri band phone for now, one with a 2megapix camera [which could effectively render my digicam useless. mm. ] and play my mp3s as well. this phone will be mighty useful when i travel with a small bag. phone camera mp3 player all rolled into one. WAHHH i cant wait for my SE k750i. see how im lau-nuaing over it already? wahahas.

im gonna watch tv soon.
shit, why must the holidays come to an end?!? ARGH.
i cant imagine days of slogging over school work and trying to understand them all.
i swear this time round, i am going to be more hardworking. i swear. really.
