They DON'T agree with me,
AT ALL...................................................
What's up bebe?
I thank God every day, for His unending love for me, especially when I'm so far away from home!
Life's been good. Last weekend, I hit an all-time low. Yesterday, was one of the most horrible school-days. But today picked up again, I'm all back to normal! I have suddenly found myself unconsciously bouncing and jiggling around for the first time since I left................ What is this.................................... Vik was telling me how our manager (who's now senior manager) was saying how her baby jiggles around like me, and she termed it "the jocelyn jiggle"........ So that is what I'm remembered for eh........
Anyway, this is the FIRST time in the 23 years and 10 months (it's the 5th today) of my life that I've been away from Singapore for this long! And the record is being set every single day that goes by, which makes it now 70 days to Christmas break! YIPPEEEEE! So looking forward to Toronto, Krispy Kreme and.............................. BOOGY WOOGY! Honestly, I have yet to feel homesick. I remember when I was a kid going overseas for school trips, after about 3 to 4 days I'll have another 2 to 3 days of this horrible I-really-badly-miss-home feeling. All I miss badly enough is Wennie, but then again it's 70 days! *WHEEEEEEEEE*
But I've planned anyway. When I reach back, it'll be like 12am in the morning. So................. I'll sleep in, wake up, go for a HAPPY ride on my bike! Hopefully I don't forget to unclip and have unglam topples. Then go to eat prata on Mr Beep, with lots of curry! The next day, I'll ride Mr Beep home to regulate/clean up/tune my piano! Wooohooooo! Then I'll worry about how I'm going to get employed.
Seems like the nice weather is over. Temperatures are dropping, days are shortening, leaves are changing colours! I'm planning to head to the park for a run tomorrow (if it doesn't rain) and I'll be bringing my hp to take some pretty pictures! Hope the ducks are out! It's going to be my first Thanksgiving ever and it seems temperatures are forecasted to drop to 2 degrees! Oooooooo...
Remember I mentioned the Metro pizza deal? This 16 inch $6.99 pizza lasted me for 5 very full and satisfying meals! Smug smug. AND the gala apples were on sale (I bought 10). They cost 50 cents each and are much larger than Singapore's! As sweet as the sweet ones too :) And so because I feel happy today, it's the long weekend and it's been a long week, I'm going to eat Ben & Jerry's that I bought at $3.99 for a tub. Was thinking about eating from the tub since I don't have anything to put it in hmmm................
It's been a looonnnnggggggg week and my fingers and nails are feeling sore and hurting much, from sandpapering, getting cut with the xacto blades, holding those small things, and whacking that dratted Steinway grand to get the pins to stay..................
Picture time!
