what do you get a ten year old who has everything ... ?

yadi had his birthday party just now.

as usual
lotsa food
the usual people
and the birthday cake

and im still cracking my brain as to what can i get for him..

watched hide-and-seek.
ironically, the more i am afraid of watching this sorta psychotic thriller, the more im determined to watch it til the end !
and boy was i disappointed with the end.
until on walking home, mum told me an observation i missed out on.
hmmm.
so was it the dad who's a schizo? or the girl?
whatever.

i wanna catch charlie and the chocolate factory !!!!!
salutations to johnny depp, always taking on roles that are so obscure.
and in the movie, he kinda reminds me of the tutor in my psych 1b class.
who i think i'll miss.
cos my slot's shifted to tuesdays now, surely with a different tutor.
the impact ONE person can have on you.

which brings me to a point i'd been meaning to blog about.

culture shock.

honestly, think about it.
i am a girl who had been in the singapore education system.
been thru it all.
primary school
secondary school
junior college
and i have to say it had been rather strictly structured.
im not here to put down the sytem.
-too much had been going on abt the rigid system-
im jst here to say tt i was alot like:

oh my goodness, im only required to come for class like thrice a week and i'll get a degree at the end of it all?

mum says it's part of me having to grow up.
the skill of independence.
sounds all too exciting.
til it makes me sick to the tummy.

#take a chance you stupid ho#

mum asked me to read this write up abt two ladies who kind of gave up their professions to take up dressmaking and started online boutiques.
an inspiration for me.
definitely.
and for mum too !!
but it's not to say that hey, let's drop everything and go on with making dresses for the rest of my life.
no offense intended to these fine ladies.
and hey, u never know, i may have a boutique one day after all this mumbo jumbo of having that degree or that honors or that masters or what have you.

=waiting for that soft voice to talk to me at night=
