(2.21pm, August 10)

i am in dad's car, off to help him out at work! feels like it's going to be a good friday ahead cause it's weekend and i received two good news yest.
1. shin got back a room in hall2 so we can do internal swapping. i feel bad towards ding ding but she's really nice about the whole thing. she even told us to help shift her things. Actually, she's a really nice roomie tho i only spent two nights in hall with her. she's easy-going, vervy chatty and very very neat! hope we can continue to stay in touch.
2. club rainbow finally contacted me after like two months? cant beat those 2 years!
heh. and geok's really keen on joining me for the orientation too! double happiness!

another happy thing is tt there's no tuition tonight! and i'm sending edyln on sun which means i dont need to go for work! wonderful wonderful weekend!

grandma called me up to chat a while ago. I hope to visit her tom morning (a surprise!) since i might be meeting mojo tom afternoon, then meeting abby on sun to do edlyn's gift!
now, the list of people to meet gets longer and my calender only looks more packed):

grandma, grandpa, belle, suyi, jer, clara, germaine... (havent met all these ppl in a long long while) it's not difficult to get down to doing it.

time and money management. these are two LIFE skills that i have yet to learnt.
for starters, it's bad to be always late. setting the time in my phone to be 7 m ins earlier doesnt help. maybe i should change it to 37mins?

time for my favourite column!
i. fact of the day:
It was illegal for women to wear buttons in fifteenth-century Florence.

ohhh. luckily, i dont live in those times. i like buttons! even gingerbread man has buttons. LOL
and if shirts and blouses dont come with buttons, it's a tad too plain.

ii. fact of yesterday:
There are 40 to 50 million fat cells in the body of an average adult.

Woah. but rest assured guys, there are 10^14 or a hundred trillion cells in the human body which means adipose tissues only constitute about 20%. Oh well, i'd probably increased that percentage with today's overdose of apple-flavoured candy floss. a bit of fats wouldnt hurt right? once in a while, a small sacrifice for good stuff is worth it.
