FRIDAY
The last day of the week is always so long, but so fulfilling. Evan made my day again by giving me cookies (that she had already prepared for already!!) when i was hungry! Live adaptation of the verse "When i was hungry , you gave me something to eat. When I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When i was lost, you gave me shelter." pardon me if its not highly accurate, im too lazy to check out the bible.
And the cookie had an Evan-smiley-face on it! Must be the effects of spider-clip-day :))
Art turned out to be much more enjoyable than i had thought (as usual, haha :/) and it was during art lesson that i realised that the Green Monster Stapler that Jingboy gave me was really good at making people happy. I mean, everytime people see him a smile (even if its an incredulous one) comes to their faces! No pics of him though, monsters dont like taking pictures :((.
And at 6 while i was struggling to finish my 2nd final piece there came the Art Mascot!
And as usual, some random art thing we found weird/funny/lame/worthnoticing. Btw that day was ultra funny, deb and i were playing a game of sonnets where one would have to think of a phrase, and the other would have to end it in a rhyme. and the best (and only) one i could remember;
Deb: Lisa you suck.
Lisa: For a buck?
After that i had dinner with Deb at the famous Hock Lam Beef Noodle Stall just a walk down, where we JUST had to meet our beloved principal who almost hit his head while enthusiastically throwing this pink lump of trash and spewing used toilet paper into the air like confetti with his bare hands. Oh and did i mention it was the councilors who cleaned up the shit (as always?)
And i do love this picture! nice ambiance, noodles, table, ice lemon tea, chopsticks in holder, laptop, and even the owner's face! Did i miss anything?
SATURDAY
Mummy cooked an awesome lunch even though she was fasting; one of the things i will always be completely amazed and unable to ever fully understand is how she like doing things for people; most of the time at the expense of herself. she's totally in the "Acts of Service" category w regards to the Love Language Quiz. i guess in a way that's how im able to try to understand Evan and her ways of showing love to people, she's kinda similar to my mum.
This is homemade can you believe it!! Yummaaa!!
Had plans to go out with Jingboy but mummy wanted to go out, so it was cancelled. To my delight he was really very understanding about everything :)) thank you so much baby. And did i mention i managed to finish that second final piece today SQUUEEEE!!!
Headed to Orchard where we went on a shopping frenzy; the first in my entire life with my mum. I think we spent a total of $400++ in all today? ZOMG!
Yep its the three step Clinique thingy whooo!
And this is my special note for the day:
Im really proud of my mum for being a fantastic one, and grateful that Im special enough being her daughter. She embodies many key qualities that has always placed her in my highest regards, not only because she's a maternal figure but simply because she has a character that trumps many out there despite her humble background, lifestyle and attitude.
Of all the $400 dollars that she spent today, only about $40 was used to buy things for herself. Can you believe it; only 10% of the things were for herself and the rest for people whom she loves and appreciates?
My mum has sacrficed so much for us, and even though im 18 and would be working in a few years time, never has she once demanded that we, as her children, repay her for all the money she had invested in us. All she asks for is that we be financially independent in the future, have an open, loving relationship with her, and a clean house.
And the biggest question to ponder over-- is that asking too much, at all?
