Regardless of whether I get into UQ or not, it seems that my heart is here and not there. I'm rather unwilling to let my students go just like that, especially with the attachment that is growing. But we'll wait and see what comes in the mail... in hopefully a few weeks time. If the Lord wills, or if He doesn't (:

Have been busy with the preparation for the flea and teaching and trying to reschedule for lessons. The holiday period really gets to me; so much rescheduling to do! The sight of my Nov/Dec teaching schedule is nausea inducing, really. Anyhoos, I look forward to seeing some familiar faces this sunday (:

I'm totally jealous of somebody's LX-3. Someone buy it for me please!

Soup spoon lunch with my usual simon & garfunkel special <3 Then on to tom's palette for some very nice and cheap homemade ice cream. Indulgent, but satisfying (= Diet starts tmr, I swear.

You know exactly what I like, and how I have a soft spot for that thing with no mouth (=
Thank you!

The weather after yyp meeting was crazy. Looks like yours truly isn't the only one with pms mood swings. As I was driving Canaan home, with the classical music from 92.4FM playing (an attempt to drown the thunderous weather), I was reminded of those days back on Perth. She was just telling me how she was going home to take a warm shower, and settle in for hot noodles and a movie. That was me.....Three years ago! Totally nostalgic. Before those days, I used to think I could never do anything alone but hey, after that year of training, I can now do a lot of things alone - eat alone, watch movies alone, go shopping alone etc. Me time (= Some might think it's loser-ish but I actually enjoy it.

After sending her home, I went back to a home filled with family warmth - hot food on the table, the busy chatter over the dinner table (ku po's family over). Nothing beats this kind of thing, really. And I was so impacted by the juxtaposition right there and then.

I want a reply from UQ soon! Soon soon soon! So I can actually start making some decisions instead of making detailed plans, not knowing which of them I will actually put into action. To add on to the already existing bouts of nervousness, I have taken in four new students for the month of Nov. So hurry.... praying for an answer soon.

On a separate note, my complexion has hit it's rock bottom low. I had this massive breakout during the week the parents were away and when they got back and had a good look at me, my dad was so shocked he tossed me a tube of T3-mycin and immediately put me back on the pills =( Still don't know whether the Avene skincare system was the cause of it. Or maybe due to my unhealthy lifestyle - late nights, too little water, too little fruit.... too much chocolate! Hwee Nee even gasped in horror at the sight of me. So yeah... no make-up for the next 2 weeks or so. Strictly confining myself to the usual cleanser and the acne gel twice a day, nothing more nothing less. I should be back to normal in a few weeks (=

Fridays are usually spent out of the house but today I decided to stay home and practice like a good girl should. Went out to run some errands (namely grocery shopping) and getting materials to put little gifts for my students together. My time at MMS has been short and granted there were times I thought I was all ready to pull my hair out, the students there made things memorable and in a way, unforgetting.

Just some of the little things I made for them....

I had real trouble wrapping those gifts. Hopeless!
 
Had a heart to heart talk with mum over tea, toast and eggs at toast box (it's anytime better than yakun). I love times with her like that, where we share our thoughts on certain things. Well, today we talked about Ben's studies.... then on to mine. Then! She so very politely commented that the piano music that I have been trashing out is getting on the nerves of everyone at home.

Mum: Your music is very nice, really.
Me: Oh.... (uh oh where is this convo heading towards?)
Mum: But you know, when we moved, Papa and I were trying to decide where to put your grand piano. And I already told him it's going to be difficult if it's in the living room.
Me: .......yes..... and....?.....
Mum: ....Ya you know, it's fine in the mornings, really.Hmm.... in the nights, sometimes its a bit difficult. So it would be nice if you can play hymns or something lighter at night.
Me: Oh okay, I know. My playing is very noisy right.
Mum: Err... no no...
Me: But you said you prefer something light. Means it's too heavy right?
Mum: Eh... ya..........

Haha! I love my mum. She's so sweet. Pedi next week together!

I know hair is just hair. Make a bad move? Doesn't matter. It'll grow out. But I can't help thinking about the long tresses I used to have. It went from long rebonded to chopped shoulder length, to a coloured, soft rebonded bob, then coloured it again and added highlights. And finally, in the midst of wanting to grow it long (fuss free, economical), chemical free and au naturale, I impulsively permed it!

I'm still trying to get used to styling it (which includes washing) every single time before I step out of the house. High maintenance.

So much for all the hair talk. Gotta get ready for my last day at MMS :D

Goodnight!

I'm waiting for a really important piece of information that will most probably come in the form of snail mail sometime around the end of Nov, which means that I've got to wait around for an agonizing four weeks plus. Urgh. You all know how I hate ambiguity. I'd rather settle for something solid right away (whether the outcome good or not).

Something eventful yesterday - I was so sick and tired of my very flat hair, which was constantly plastered to the sides of my face and so I decided to give it a wavy perm right away yesterday. Its kinda dry now. Bye bye to my once ultra smooth hair. But oh well, hair being hair. No big deal, it can always grow out again.

It's nice having the parents back home (= with all the delicious snacks from Hokkaido. I've been feasting, I swear. Crystal jade lunch = lots of oil + salt. Couple that with the unecessary snacking and I'll be needing to up a dress size pretty soon.
