I am such a pig, I sleep too much!


Thursday 23 April 2009

I woke up late today...very very late :( I don't know why I'm so sleepy all the time. Sara and I went to the Myer mid-season sale after lunch. I wanted many things...very pretty dresses but I restrained myself. Aren't you proud of me? I did buy a velour hoodie for $35, irresistible price huh?

I started cooking when I got back. Somehow everything I cook here just doesn't taste as nice as when I cook it at home in Singapore. Maybe it's my mood...being here is depressing so it shows in my food. I always say the secret ingredients are love and passion! Those two ingredients seem to be missing over here in Aussie land. Dinner was really early so I took a nap after.

After my nap I tried to do my ARA tutorial but to no avail. I then tried to study PBL but unfortunately for me, I can't seem to remember anything :( Eventually, I gave up and started singing along to iTunes instead. Sara's got me addicted to True by Ryan Cabrera...a few weeks ago I didn't even know who he was :s

My bathroom smells awesome right now! Coconut and vanilla, yum! It's not a special occasion but I just felt like treating myself tonight. I lit my vanilla scented candle and used my kiehls coconut shampoo and conditioner while singing along to the songs on my iphone. Usually my showers only last three songs but tonight, it lasted at least five songs. I feel so squeaky clean now :D

Wednesday 22 April 2009

After finance lecture I took a nap. Sara and I met for pilates after our naps. Pilates was rather strange. I had no idea what in the world I was doing. The teacher kept saying "neutral, contract, find your centre, etc..." and I was like "?????". Plus everytime she said inhale, I exhaled and when she said exhale, I inhaled.

We had dinner at this food court like place along Faraday. $10 and you get to pick three dishes plus $8 and you get a quiche with two salads so Sara and I shared our dinner.

I tried to study PBL when I got back but I only finished reading the notes, I didn't get round to the book. Sara and I ended up having a really stupid conversation on the phone.

We discussed proposals. I used to watch this show, when I was still in Singapore, called Perfect Proposal with Nikki Boyer on Discovery Home & Health. This one guy made a "will you marry me?" sign in lights and he hung it in the trees in some garden and when the girl came around, it lit up. Another guy built a life size gingerbread house and he hid inside it. He popped out with a ring when the girl came around. This other guy rented a suit of armour and a horse so he rode up on horse back to propose like a knight in shining armour. Kinda unglam though because he didn't know how to walk in that suit. Of course there is the proposal in "My Sweet Home Alabama" where he closes the whole Tiffany & Co store in New York and asks her to pick any ring she wants. Plus when Ross and Rachel pretended to be engaged and Ross told everyone how he proposed to Rachel. In the planetarium, the roof opened to expose the stars, there were lilies everywhere (Rachel's favourite flower) and he proposed underneath the stars. The facebook quiz just gave me an idea. Close the whole of Disneyland down and propose standing in front of the castle!

Sara said I better refer my future husband to her so she can brief him on how to propose to me. Underneath the stars when we are dressed elegantly on a cool night in the park with roses and candles all around. No one else should be around, it should be just us. A blimp will fly overhead flashing "will you marry me?" and he will get down on one knee with nothing less than a little blue box. When I say yes, there will be fireworks and a private yacht to take us on a cruise of the river. Damn, I need a rich boy :s

I do want the proposal to be a surprise but I also want it to be discussed first. There is nothing worse than him proposing and me not being ready to become engaged. Thus it has to be discussed but then it won't be a surprise and that sucks! I am too demanding.

Now for the ring. Mummy's diamond is from Mondial. Ever since I was little, I've wanted a little blue box but now, it seems like I want the box more than a Tiffany's ring itself. Tiffany's quality ain't great, it's all in the name. Cartier seems more like it or maybe even some regular jeweler that sells top quality diamonds. None of those cheap arse chains though, no SK Jewelry, no Lee Hwa Jewelry, no Goldheart, none of that stuff. It shouldn't be too big or too flashy but not too small either. Just the right size, plain and classy. 2 carat, 3 is a bit too big. Platinum or white gold. Clarity: FL/IF. Colour: D. Tiffany's Round Brilliant with Channel-set Band/Round Brilliant with Pear-shaped Side Stones/Lucida are three possibilities. Whatever it is, it has to be top quality, nothing but the best!

It seems rather strange that I am thinking about all this stuff when I don't even have a man right now but I've been thinking about all this since I was four years old! It's perfectly normal to me. I mean I start planning my birthday party the day after my birthday so I have a whole year to plan it.

It's my blog after all. The purpose of the blog is to record my inner thoughts, however strange they may be.
