Tempted

No amount of exercise can eliminate my present diet of fried fish, fried chicken and rice. =( But! Claud is still happy! She feels that her legs are more toned now, aka, can walk longer distances for shopping strips. I mean, trips. Typo typo...

(actually u do strip during shopping mah...trying on clothes? SEE?!)

Ok, moving on, i so cannot be a seamstress. Hahaha...i was hand sewing nic's presen yestd (whom i owe for 2 years) and the seams look horrible as they were coming off. Then i need to...wait. She might be reading this.

ARH...shucks, i was about to post the end result but i guess i'll have to wait until sunday to do it.

It's my proud-but-not-so-proud handiwork.

Seems like the virgos are doing alot of sewing this month. XY ARH!u copy me ARH!HAHA...vann's bday...********e's present also sewed one.

Unlike XY, my pretty fingers are not bleeding...although they are a bit blueblack from wrestling the needle through some impossibly hard cloth. LOL

I know i didn't use the correct cloth. As long as it works, it works right?

In any case, this is the first and last time i'm making someone like nic's present. At least not in the near future.

Sometimes i ask myself, if i'm taking birthday's too seriously. Like that day i was telling Xmas about vann's gift. It was tough, but a labour of love. Then he just told me, "if so difficult, then don't give lor." then before meeting them that day, i showed my grandma to see if she can spot any large "mistakes" then she said, "so nice, u still want to give your friend meh?keep and use for yuorself lah!"

Often times, i feel that my birthday has been shortchanged because i put in so much effort for everybody else's. Then i wonder then maybe i shouldn't put in so much effort in the first place. However, i've come to realise (after emoing awhile) that their affection may come in many ways which they feel is more meaningful TO them. Like nat told me she would want to just sit at with a cup of coffee to read a book with a friend/partner. The company that matters. So i guess while i show my affection through gifts and birthdays, others may not neccesarily show the same.

=) AND yes...yvonne kuan, i'm still transcribing ur jazz birthday piano piece, have not forgotten it.

Ok...gtg practice piano, if not ms lam will have my head for supper after lesson tomorrow.

Shi Hui! Do ur work! I'm coming in less than 2 hours!

(in case u're reading this NOW that is...HAHA)
