Fairy Tales are More than True.

I would rather be a horrible and temperamental person then, if that's the only way to make sure I'm treated well.

But, I've been thinking about this for awhile, especially because saving money, for the people in my generation (seriously,I sound like some old fart!), isn't as important as shopping and living in the moment. I know, because I'm straddled in the middle of this situation, weirdly.

I guess it's weirder because my parents weren't born with all they have now. Most of the stories I hear from them include the '8 of us brothers stayed in one room!' and 'I went to school 2hours early because your grandfather had to go to work' stories :P So, even though I don't seem so, I actually have a general idea of saving money from young :)

The good after-effects would be that they worry enough to have helped me save money from young, so I'm relatively safe for awhile when I start working. The problem is that not everyone has that, so it scares me that money can be thrown away so easily.

After I met Wenhui, the issues of money started to bug me quite abit, especially when it seems that there are cheaper alternatives to so many things that can cost such absurd amounts of money. Plus, I seem to have a lot of impulse buys :P

So I think I've changed slightly, but that's made me weirder than ever, because I can't fit into the world of 'expensive is nothing' anymore, yet I'm not 'neighbourhood' enough either. Haiz. The funny thing is, I think I'm the safest kind there is, because I'm probably going to be the one with the savings in future.

Ain't that funny?

I swear, everyone is falling sick these few days. Today in class, more than half of us were sniffling like crazy, including me. Is the flu bug getting worse or something, because the H1N1 seems to be just an afterthought, and no one even mentions it anymore. I mean, see the difference in the UK and US, where everyone is trying to avoid it like the plague :P

I'm not that worried about my horrendous sniffling nose, though, because considering my (possible) case of H1N1 the last time, this is child's play. haha. Obviously, I still hate it, because I can't sleep properly with my nose leaking like a faucet and my sneezing so many times that I must miss 5000 people or something, but it could be worse :P

And I think Wenhui passed the bug to my brother, so we're all sick-ish. It seriously sucks, but I'm hoping all of us get well soon :)

On Wednesday, I went for a facial, but because Cindy(my regular beautician) wasn't working, so Mom got me Rachel, who does facial for her and Amanda, if I'm not wrong. Haha. She helped me do my first facial when I was in secondary school, I think, and I hated it because it hurt like @#$%^& (you get the point.)

However, I had a totally different opinion after the facial. It didn't hurt as bad as usual, plus she gave me alot of advice about my skin and what to do, etc. It actually kinda felt like she was my mom telling me what to do, which is quite funny because she's pretty young :P

So I guess my point is...well, the title of this post :P Plus how I've changed over the years and all. It's actually pretty scary if you think about yourself and how you looked and all 5years ago and now. I hope I've gotten prettier and all :P HAHA.

I wanted to buy OPI nail polish at Far East Plaza after that, but I forgot :( Sigh. Shall go there another day.

Met Wenhui at City Hall and we discovered a new Jap place with good food :) It's called Niwa Sushi, and their sushi and all are damn cheap!Like, I had a plain udon and abit of sushi, and it was only 5bucks :D haha. I'm pretty sure someone told me about it before, but this was my first time experiencing it :D

Watched Coraline in 3D too, and I love it so much because the story, while it seems cliche, you'll never think so during the movie. The way it's filmed is so 'fairy tale for adults' that you just sit there with your mouth open during most of it :P

I mean, for a movie using Stop-Motion Animation, it was so gorgeous and so realistic that I just feel bad for the guys who had to spend so much time and effort on it!

The sad thing is that it only showed in Singapore for a week(after so many delays) :( So it's stopped showing already. I guess this is the definition of a Indie Movie :P

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ariane came over yesterday to do work, and I seriously hate doing work about things that are so common sense :( Plus, we had to think of ways to keep everyone entertained and all for an hour. So hard, seriously.

Plus, I have a cover letter and resume due on Wednesday, so I need to do it soon and get it over with :P

We went shopping after clearing up most of the work yesterday though, and can you believe it, I didn't buy anything!!Haha I wanted to, especially with the shoe sale at New Look (20bucks for a pair of heels!), but I wanted to make sure I stopped making impulse purchases, so I'm thinking about it. At most, I might go there tomorrow :P

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Time to do work, so taa-taa for now (don't ask why I just said that, it just slipped out)!

I should be going shopping with my Mom tomorrow, so hopefully I can get alot of stuff that I've been wanting for awhile :)

HAHA.

Btw, check out these 2 sites we learnt about in class:

New grouping arrangement for class leads to huge discord everywhere. Sigh. I wonder how everyone will work in the workplace, because I'm pretty sure staying in your comfort zone of a group isn't allowed.

And yet, I, like everyone else, also want a perfect group, the kind that works well together and talks well together. Perfection is such an irony, I swear.

Besides that, school was fine, I guess :P
