today has been an extremely extremely productive day !!! yaaay.
woke up slightly earlier than usual (still considered sleeping in for many, but for me its early) - 10:30am. made a nice big greasy breakfast for my mom and myself... with hot cups of tea for the both of us. sat at the table by my window and had a nice chat/meal. jeremy came over in the midst of our tea drinking, and then i got ready and we went out to accomplish the to-do-list of the day. stuff to i had to get done before leaving singapore...

1. bought boxes from the post office so i can ship some of my stuff over.
2. mailed some letters
3. went to uncle herbert's clinic for an MMR jab and had a nice chat about travelling, languages, changing the WORLD....
4. got a call from my mom to go to the dentist to get retainers for my teeth-grinding. so i went and got my teeth mold made... bleaugh it was like play dough in my mouth.

and then spent the rest of the day with jeremy. we had bak kut teh near robertson quay. YUM. i love bak kut teh. and we also had pig intestines and kidney. and salted veggie. good stuff.
then i finally got to go to Books Actually. i loved it. not the prices. but the books and old cameras and typewriters. i bought myself some postcards and a book. the Story of Art by E.H. Gombrich. it speaks about the subject of art from the "earliest cave paintings to the experimental art of today" with "directness and simplicity in writing" and aims to "bring some intelligible order into the wealth of names, periods and styles which crowd the pages of more ambitious works" etc. etc. i'm excited to read it :) input input. then i can output.
then we visited jeremy's mom at the hospital. she has a fibroid in her stomach so she had to go through a small surgery to get it to shrink. (its not cancerous or anything though thank God.) brought her some of my old VOGUEliving magazines to read so she won't be bored in the hospital room...
today, my mom told me that the apartment i'm renting doesn't allow instruments. what sia.
but the agent was nice enough to say that when we get there we'll test out the thinness of the wall. see if i can play softly and not be heard. i hope it'll work out okay. if not i'll have to look for another place to stay...
anyways, got lots to do tomorrow too, so i'm off to bed !
its been a loooong day. today was a perfect day. everything went perfectly.

we were sitting, we were talking in a strawberry swing
every moment was so precious
wouldn't wanna change a thing
