| suddenly i see |
The weekend has so far been good for me. I forgot that yesterday was a Public Holiday, so I was really shocked to see my Dad home on Saturday, because he usually works on Saturday.
But anyway, I loved the fact that it was a Public Holiday, and so in the spirit of Public Holidays, I decided to just stay at home, chill, drink tea, surf the net, read a little Harry Potter, listen to some music, blog, and of course do some studying.
I'm glad I stayed at home yesterday, I had a very productive day in terms of getting notes read and done, I managed to considerably demolish the whole stack of Immuno notes that I had accumulated, so I'm very pleased with myself.
I'm going to stay home today as well, and work on finishing that whole stack of Cancer notes. Woo hoo, getting work done makes me feel happy now.
We have gotten the keys to our new house! Yup, we are finally the official proud owners of no.19 Jalan Jitong.
Went down yesterday for a short while to try and see which keys go where, which was quite hellish because we were given like 20 sets of different keys, without any idea which doors they locked/opened.
In the end we sorta gave up, because we decided that what the heck, we were going to demolish the building anyway, so there's really no point to finding out where the individual keys went.
Its going to be interesting to see how the house evolves and develops into a new house, although I think the process is going to be soooooo tiring and long. But I hope the end results are worthed it. Okay, it had better be worthed it because a large part of my inheritance is probably going into the construction cost. Haha.
I love the slow pace of this weekend. It feels like a long weekend, but it isn't. There's a vibe to it that I can't really describe. I think it feels like a chance to be in tune with yourself, especially after a crazy week. To sit down and get some work done.
No more excuses, just you, yourself, focusing on the task at hand. Just doing it. Yeah, so doing it.
I canceled all my plans this weekend, just to stay at home and enjoy some quiet isolation time, although there's still the family BBQ tonight. But then, I may give that a miss as well, because I'm on a roll this weekend. A good roll. And I should keep it that way. So yeah, we'll see.
My dad dropped a bombshell on me this morning - he told me that he was starting to plan for a location for my 21st birthday celebrations.
I was quite taken a back and sorta blurted out that I didn't even consider having a 21st birthday celebration. He said that I should, because my brother had one, and he was fair so I should have one (I think he was just trying to make amends for something he said yesterday that got me quite pissed!)
I told him its okay and I rather he gave me the capital he intended for the birthday and allowed me to spend it on some things I want - like a new Ipod, Starcraft II, a second hand car, Harry Potter props and medical equipment. I think my mom and dad both thought I was joking and just laughed it off, but seriously, I'm not!
I know alot of people who had their 21st and didn't celebrate it have feedback to me, saying that they felt it was a big regret of theirs not to have done something big. But the whole idea of organising a party for myself just smells like unnecessary trouble.
There'll be so many things to consider... like how many people to invite, who to invite; do I have one huge party or a series of smaller parties; food, drinks, entertainment; a location to have it (because by then I will be homeless and my new house's not going to be ready yet); do I have a theme or no theme; and clean-up, oh my god, the clean-up is going to be a mess.
So no, I don't really want to have a big 21st birthday. I'll rather have a house warming instead, but that's another different matter altogether.
Seriously. I shouldn't even think about my 21st birthday when so many people I know have yet to even cross the big 2-0 mark yet.
KT Tunstall is amazing! Her voice has this smokey quality to it. Smokey, but rockish. Brilliant combination. Maybe she's the reason why I'm so zen this weekend.

This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me" - 'Suddenly I See', KT Tunstall
Old song, but its happy, and I feel happy!
