Hi blog..

I just thought I'd let you know how i've been.

Today, grandma is officially gone. And yeah, i kinda miss her. It's been kind of challenging trying to study, juggling with the responsibilities of maintaining the house without mum at home. But then I think to myself - there are others in the world who have it worse. So at the end of the year - mid-december, if I do receive a poor result, it would be purely because of my poor lack of judgement and not because an unfortunate event occurred. And you know what's funny? the same thing happened last year.

There are certain times where I feel where I don't belong anywhere. Like I don't have a place. Where I feel left out from certain groups. Maybe because I don't open up to people as easily?
Goodnight blog, let it be another day

Happy Birthday Mum :)

Mum just called the bank enquiring about her account, the bank representative had to ask about her details, and i heard her say, 'The 10th of the 9th...'. And you could hear her giggle saying thank you. Moral of the story: strangers can make you happy.

I woke up this morning and said, 'Happy Birthday Mum.' and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I think that'd be the best present I have ever given to her. She bought a cake for herself today, how cute :P But silly. Very silly.

I remember when I was 9, it was mum's birthday and i just came home from school. Mum was at work and didn't come until 11.30. So i spent the whole afternoon thinking of what I could get her. I had no car. I had no money (well..75 cents in my pocket). I wanted to make mum a chocolate cake. I didn't know how to make a cake without dad. And dad wasn't at home. Then, miraculously, the bulb above my head lit up!

It was 11.30 and I sat infront of the window watching cars go by, waiting for mum to come home. Back then, 8.30 was the time when ONLY the grown ups could stay up and 'watch their tv shows'. So staying up at 11.30 was a lethal crime for me.
When she walked through the door, I sprouted with excitement. 'Happy Birthday Mum!! Look what I made for you!!' In the small glass bowl I held, was a brown blob with a candle stuck in the middle that wasn't even lit. My recipe? Microwaved Freddo Frogs & fridged so the candle could settle in the center. I was a kid. You couldn't grasp the concept of poker faces yet. I followed her around the house asking her to try it, putting on puppy dog eyes. Ohh thinking about it now, I felt sorry for mum for having to put up with me! Hahaha

Yuuuuuuuummy!

Who says Uncle Toby's oats was only for breakfast? Top it off with banana and drizzle it with honey and voila - a filling and delicious alternative to a snack. (Keeps you warm for winter too mmmm!)

Okay physics... I'm coming.

I'm supposed to be writing an essay for English tmr, but my thoughts are staggered with stress. So i thought i'd share this piece with you, written by a well known writer who takes part in The Age - Alice Pung. So true!

Hello Spring

Tonight I went to a primary school play with le boyfriend for his little sister - might I say how much I miss being a kid. The night progressed from Prep to grade 5/6, I just couldn't stop 'awww'ing when the little ones came on to perform 'The Hungry Caterpillar'. It was absolutely adorable. On the final performance, I was hysteric. I could not stop laughing because of this one boy who you could tell he was one of the 'class clowns'. He wasn't in a major role or anything, just one of those extras in the background, wearing a ridiculous wig where you couldn't see his face most of the time and was making the most hilarious moves I had ever seen from a kid. We were sitting at the back and gosh it was just fun to watch him! I couldn't help but be inspired and try his moves in the car on the way home. A good start to Spring. Goodnight blog :)
