wheeee!
recently my housemate purchased a nintendo wii. i swear it gives me a better workout than running around the park 6 times. and not to mention how incredibly fun and addictive it is! i reckon i won’t have to get gym membership after all! entertainment plus exercise in the comfort of your living room. genius.
edit: i have always wanted to play tennis. my short-lived tennis lessons in secondary school and junior college were (quite) disastrous. but NOW, i can finally play tennis!!! Wii tennis, of course! woo!
plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
i’m thinking that as i grow older, i tend to be more lonely. i sit in my room and bury myself in my medical textbooks (or at least pretend to) and think that maybe i am destined to be alone (hopefully not). i want to go out there and meet new people, see new things and embrace transition, but many things hold me back. i see myself struggling in a tight cocoon, half wondering if i’m ready to flutter my wings, half hungry for the excitement that the world brings.
i don’t really want to stay in the confines of my little room. it is a place where i find comfort in, but also one where excuses and escapism exist. i sometimes dream of having a garden tea party with my friends- think scones and jam and clotted cream, sitting in the sun and looking at the clouds through oversized sunnies. or maybe cafe au lait at one of those little cafes, we can share a nice slice of hazelnut torte while we laugh over life and watch the world go by.
her name is
alexa chung
my newfound style icon. isn’t she strikingly pretty! she looks gorgeous in both pictures, which goes to show that good-looking people can pull off even the frumpiest of sweatshirts. i want her hair (in second photo) please. it looks pretty low maintenance which is bliss for a lazy daisy like me. i also love that she has a boyish raspy voice and a cute personality to boot

i can’t sleep because i took a 4-hour nap sometime between the hours of 1800 to 2200. i can never take power naps. the moment my eyes are closed, i am virtually unrousable for a few hours at least. argh. have been tossing and turning in bed and burying my head under my quilt for an hour or so but to no avail. so, here are some pictures from sometime ago, courtesy of ming:
okay now i’m going to try to fall asleep again. which is quite silly really, considering i have to get up in 2 hours for clinic. either that or stay up and consume copious amounts of coffee to get through the day! :s
