Lunch Break at work is meant to catch up with my life

From Sunday's kimchi dinner with NicNic. Check out the glow that mysteriously appeared above my head. In Nic's words, 'You've been annointed by the purple light.'

Had a day off work yesterday due to appointments. Guess whowho I metmet at Life Centre! RyanRyan!
I miss MouseMouse. She came to LifeCentre to find me...
...with Yuanxin! Who gave me a bottle of scent which is nice. Can't figure out whether it's primarily floral or fruit based.


New blouse!

Met up with Ray for a belated birthday dinner at Thomson Plaza's Thai Express. He's not interning at MFA, and it's the first time I've seen him dressed so formerly!


I like this picture Ray took of me!

And I like this picture I took of him!

I rarely have time to hang out with Ray these days, but we've arranged for another dinner/gossip session next Wed. Yay. I miss my brother, my first friend in university. =)

For two nights in a row, I've not been able to sleep. This morning, I managed to wake up for a run/short piano practise session. Still, thank goodness. I'm really very determined to regulate my sleeping hours and discipline, but even getting off msn/the net takes so much discipline! Gym later, and long(er) piano practise session.

I discovered yesterday that I am in fact, much poorer than I ever thought. Being rather fortunate to have monetary 'gifts' from various sources (including the parents at times) over the past few years, I've stopped being particularly prudent about my bank account. I always assumed I'd be fine without scrimping and monitoring every single cent. But I realize, this must not go on anymore. My account is being exponentially depeleted by piano lessons (ah, why did I ever even volunteer to pay myself?) $320/month, that makes $3840 a month! Sigh, I better make sure I really discipline myself to practise my ass off. This is too meaningful to give up.

Okay, I was semi-struggling for the past hour, but I think I have rationalized it and I can get through today sanely. It's okay Cheng Wei, it's OKAY.
