nothing can be worse than feeling pent-up and =( yet hav lotsa hw to do and 5 hours of class ahead of you...
while doing my art proj i was reminded of the quote i put on my blog.. "grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference"... sigh. i guess i have been able to discern...but where is my 'serenity to accept' and 'courage to change'.....?

i'm such a silly girl.

art materials are so expensive i'm going broke buying stuff for my art project, though mine's a really simple one...eg. a piece of letter-size reflective PVC costs nearly $6...must learn how to make use of scrap material next time round... and once again i'm spending a lot of time fretting over how the thing will end up looking...

was browsing the Straits Times and stumbled upon this story on some popular blogs in sg.. apparently some girl appealed to her fans/readers on her blog to buy her a camera and she got her wish... being nosey and feeling slightly accomplished after finishing perhaps 3/4 of my prob set, i decided to check out her blog but was pretty horrified after reading through some of her more recent entries that i can almost predict who those donors to her camera fund were... on the other hand, i also recently discovered a very cool food blog, thanks to redpolkadot; the splash of well-taken pics of jap food on her blog are just amazing and very mouth-watering... and it's plain how eating can really be a luxury =)

while making my way to the bathroom this morning i was greeted by the aroma of fried bacon and my earlybird 'housemates' who were having a wholesome Sat breakfast... i wonder when i last had a properly prepared breakfast... despite not being able to have bacon (good lah, else make me fat too) i was offered some leftover coffee... which was a mini blessing given the horribly cold weather these few days. and while sorting out her books, my landlord dug out an old copy of Machiavelli's 'The Prince' and lent it to me.. cos i casually mentioned some days before that i was reading that for my class... small little gesture, but so awfully nice. i did feel a little =( that i seem to have fallen out of the little fellow's favor... guess cos the novelty of having someone new in the house is gone! but good lah, since i have so much work piling up anyways.. took a long time putting up some photoframes last night.. dug out the cute Monet magnets i got from the National Art Gallery in DC. keep getting distracted from work by frivolous little things i want to do to my surroundings.. have to do some serious research for my first art project and rack my brains over my tough PEIS prob set this weekend. =(
