should i feel the rush? i am anticipating the rush of projects, but to be serious, where is it? i've anticipated that this 1 year course will be packed as much projects, but i don't feel any.

i miss you
dearest blog,
how have you been? i miss you so much. do you miss me?
what i have been doing? oh well, i went into sabbatical from work. those 6 months was a blissful recharge, in a healthy, some sort lazy, way. people thought that i was just being couch potatoed and living off nothing with no goals, when actual fact, i am just resting my mind, taking in everything i have missed, noticing the clouds, the flowers, gary's bald patch.. you know what i mean? well, my family don't, and i think a large fraction of my friends don't too. its so difficult to explain to them.
i feel that from my school days, we are taught and made into robots, to listen and obey orders, and to join the dotted lines. so now i'm trying to free myself from that and draw outside the line. i just wanna be crazy (in a good way of course!) and accept all possibilities and question anything when in doubt.
i've started school and was fun AND tiring. i hate the travelling bit, but i like the class bit. met a couple of friends. i think the sabbatical works, 'cos i was full fledge chirpy and sunny (so says my new friend Jacky) when in school. usually, i'm not like that, i am pretty self-centred and shy when it comes to making friends in a new environment. but what i learn from my sabbatical period, was that friends only last a lifetime, and i am prolly one-third into my lifetime, i don't wanna waste that away. haha.
school was interesting. it was sort of the continuation of my sabbatical, but in a textbook way. they are teaching us to give up what we hold as the key to success (in design) and explore new fundamental crazy ways. well.. just accept that everything is possible.
also during this sabbatical period, i bonded with my mom and gary. haha. for my mom's case, i made it an effort to at least go out together on every weekend, unless it is raining, that won't be good for my sore joints.. although its only 1 day of the week, 'though short and sometimes pointless, its just neccessary.
for gary's case, i realise its been 5 years. my little buddy been there for me and i didn't really pay attention to his growth, and that really made me feel guilty. my boy. my son. my kitty. my friend. thank you gary for being there when i need you. we don't talk but you sure know when to come to comfort me when i'm not in the right of mind. what i used to be, foul mouthed and temper, you were able to bring me back to earth. i'm trying not to think of the day you will leave me, although sooner or later it will be, but i hope till then, you stay the way you are and you do the things you do.
anyway, back to a lighter note, singapore has been encountering heavy floods. hmm, i know it doesn't sound light, but that's just great news for the shopper freak in me! in the events of flash floods, i am beginning to look out for the perfect Wellies! but because its singapore, you only get the usual rubber yellow boots. yuck!
look what i've found. aren't they pretty??
"ooh nice.. very military.. very 'nice' price tag to it too.."

hunger strikes back
woken up to a raging appetite, prolly because last night's dinner - instant noodles - aren't satisfying enough to tame the beast in my belly. passing the hunger over to the next morning, i decided to splurge a little more then usual on a deluxe breakfast from mcdonald's. deluxe as it has an added dish to the whole - 2 golden fluffy pancakes. its not wrong to spend too much on breakfast right? i mean, it is the most important meal of the day. (that being said, the meal lasted me all through dinner, it indeed worth 2 meals)
as i was inhaling my breakfast midway, i poke around the condiments wrappers and thought that should be the last thing i should have done whilst eating through it. its was an abomination. it was horrifying.
i knew mcdonald isn't really the ideal choice of meal - for any meal really - to be eaten, let alone breathe it, due to its unhealthy level of UNHEALTHY. its as bad as burning in hell for eating that mouldy chocolate. but i didn't really put it to heart, of course if i do, what will happen to my KFCs and Carl's? my loyal homage to fast food? (that being said, i never was a gregorian cloaked worshipper of macdonald's even in its hay days)
back to horrifying facts:
1. "Butter?" : i thought the pale white melted cream, supposedly to escort Miss Fluffy Cakes down the carpet of eternal digestion was butter. 'lo and behold, its margarine. i never was a fan of margarine. anyway, i can't per say that THAT margarine is deadly (because its 1 molecule away from being a plastic?), but i do enjoy some luxury of having to be able to have 0.5 a knob of butter on my fluffies.
2. "Maple Syrup?": Miss Fluffy Cakes wants Mr Maple! all along i thought that THAT was real maple syrup! until i read that ingredients info corner! noooooo!
3. Creamer: that Nestle creamer is deadly and i forewarn you guys from using it. if you want cream, get milk! i hate this stuff. it got this awful sour-like smell to it - not milk-like. in case you duno, it is palm oil. (ewww)
4. Sodium Silico Aluminate: huh? oh, salt. sounds deadly. i prefer sea salt please.
