I realized that I liked very much the fragrance of a rose lotion that my aunt gave us. So much so that I could not bear to use it. It smells so good that I wondered if I’ll feel the loss after the lotion’s used up (it’s expensive!) So it’s still sitting exquisitely on our living room table.
The weather is blissfully cool now 
I can almost smell roses in the air already.
This coming November, Eleen and I have the honor of being witnesses for little Mr Jermain Aw’s Infant Baptism.
I have myself a Godson!
Very happy and proud about it
This dear little kid is 9 months old, healthy, strong and soooooooooo adorable!
He seldom make noises unnecessarily, and makes the cutest noises even when he complains ^^
He is the center of attraction everywhere he appears and there is no wondering why.
The above picture, is not extracted from stock photos of cute babies.
He is the very adorable kid I’m now talking about
He kills by virtue of his cute little hands and cute little feet. Have his little fingers wrap around yours and you melt instantly; See his mini little toes and you die of cute.
He’s my godson, my godson ♥
I feel like I love him half of how his parents love him already :p
I’ve been mulling over my latest tutorial assignment – a short Film Reflection essay to be exact.
On my way home just now and as I was walking up the slope towards my block, words start coming into my head, shaping the first paragraph. It was a crazy ‘brain-whirl’ moment when sentences formed and I could start reading the first paragraph of my to-be essay off my brain. I had to take down the lines on my phone, in case I become preoccupied with something else and the words escape me.
When I hit home I quickly scribbled the paragraph down on scrap paper. Then my brain battery went flat. LOL.
No matter – I have a good start. The mind-map is roughly done and I’m good to go with my introductory paragraph mostly formed.
Man I love brain-whirl moments like this.
I got to know this song after hearing Kamenashi from KAT-TUN singing it a cappella. I adored Kinki Kids’ cover of this song. There is a cover by the original song writer 織田哲郎. It’s nice, of course, though I’m more attached somehow to Kinki Kids’ version.

There are as many people as there are stars
And one day, by chance, out of all those people, I met you and fell in love
Even if someone had told me that love is pain
I would still have chosen you without hesitation
In this sky, countless stars are born
And die without anyone knowing it
Those words, “I love you”
How much better I would have felt if I’d just come out and said them
I never want to make you cry again
So today, this random day, is our anniversary
It’s kind of mysterious – you like me too
I don’t know why…is that why?
We have different hobbies and mannerisms
But lately we’ve become alike…that’s what everyone says
That day when I told a lie and made you cry
I just kept quiet, unable to do anything
Just having you here brings vivid colours
To these ordinary days, and fills me with love
I don’t want to forget this feeling
So today, this random day, is our anniversary
Those words, “I love you”
How much better I would have felt if I’d just come out and said them
I never want to make you cry again
So today, this random day, is our anniversary
Looks like the man on holidays hasn’t forgotten about me yet =p Have fun over there, dear!
I still have the following work to do:
Lord, please help me, I need to stop procrastinating!
No fireworks, no screams of excitement, no nothing. When Ms Fong finished checking through my bound thesis and smiled up at me, “恭喜你！” I grinned back at her, “谢谢您！”
It was only after I boarded the bus home that it slowly sunk in – the paper that I’ve been working on for close to a year is now complete and submitted. It occurred to me that it doesn’t matter whether I score A+ in the paper or not, it is the fact that I have endured the project and God has revealed His grace and providence again and again in the process of my work.
Life goes on and I have two more assignments to complete, but all my lessons have ended and I’m quite, quite jubilant
Dear LORD, thank You for providing me with so much, thank You for sending help from so many places even though I had not been consistently diligent. Thank You for the muses, thank You for the inspirations, thank You for the lovely people who had helped me, encouraged me and inspired me 
This is the contents of the Acknowledgment page in my Honors Thesis:
I would like to thank the following people for supporting and encouraging my research and writing for this thesis paper:

My Mr Chua ♥ came today!
I should enjoy having him around for the duration of his holidays
If not I think his next holiday would be his honeymoon O_O
I’m 65% through my HT! I’m sure that I’ll be able to finish it!
Now it’s just how to keep the quality in the midst of rushing )
(Okay, I’m not exactly rushing my head off doing it, because I want to be in good condition whenever I write so that the stuff will be good.)
加油 girl! You can do it
Many many Praises to the Lord who is consistently seeing me through my toils ♥
I developed rashes from paracetamol and it itched and stung like mad. Before she helped me apply calamine lotion, Mom tied my hair (which doesn’t even touch my shoulders) up and declared proudly, “哈哈哈，好像母鸡尾巴~” (Hahaha, it looks like a hen’s tail)
Wow this has got to be the first time ever that I’ve actually cleared all levels of a game! All 50 levels in this particular game, to be exact. It has been a nerve-wrecking experience, training up my coordination and suppressing the urges to run away screaming from the time-management pressures of the game =D
I feel oddly accomplished.
