on being the early bird
12:37 AM I'm finding joy in the days when I wake up early, and spend a full day doing all the things I've jotted down for so long on my to-do list. I woke up at 9, wanting to squeeze some cookie-baking in before going to visit xiuping at her house in the afternoon, and hoping to surprise her with delicious oatmeal almond cookies. After 2 hours of careless recipe reading and mixing, my cookies were a horrible disaster. in fact, when I rushed out of the house at past 12, the house (not just the kitchen) was smelling strongly of burnt oatmeal almond cookies. haha it's gonna be a success the next time though, I'm sure of it. we had quick lunch, did some grocery shopping and then headed back to her place, lazing around till dinner time came around (not exactly very much done in between, but it was just nice hanging out with her after not seeing her for so long...) dinner was a cheap but yummy affair at the foodcourt. our favourite fish soup with rice vermicelli. *slurps* and then we got tickets for Speed Racer - highlight of the night! We both thought it was a cheesy show at first, what with the cartoon-like quality and the throwing in of Rain which seemed like a measure to boost its box-office takings. But we went to check out reviews on yahoo movies, and some of the thumbs ups there made us decide to give it a second chance. And we both weren't disappointed! I was virtually gripping my seat through all the car race scenes. It was a classic good triumphs over evil movie, filled with swirling candy technicolours reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, high tech futuristic cities a la I, Robot starring Will Smith and a twist to top it off at the end. Exciting, comical and heartwarming (I couldn't help tear at some parts!) and well, a little predictable at some parts, but its all in the name of entertainment. I had such a blast through the 1 hour plus I left the theatre smiling :) And then on the way home, 12 hours after I'd boarded the train going the opposite way, with the train mostly empty and quiet, I was lost in the soul of Jamie Lidell and in the pages of my rather bimbotic book. haha And I re-remembered how I enjoyed long rides on my own, not having to talk, just listening to awesome music! I was kinda hoping the train would never reach my stop, so I could finish my book, because at home, the computer somehow never manages to distract me, like right now. Its been almost a month since my exams ended. And as usual, time flew past. I think I should stop saying that and get used to the fact that time ALWAYS flies past. It really felt like my last paper was just a week ago. And I still remember quite clearly that last day of exams - 2 papers in a day, and mambo at night. haha I must have been crazy. The weeks that ensued are kinda lost in a blur - waking up late in the afternoons, going out with friends, staying home watching shows on my laptop. I think I should do more of the waking up early, cause it sure feels more well-spent then sleeping it away. Okays! Bedtime soon... nites, world :) 0 comments |
ely belly Welcome to the drunk mootoo tiger's blog. This is the blog of a nonsensical 22 year-old. All posts are true accounts of misadventures in my life. misadventurer
I'm a shopaholic, a chocoholic, an alcoholic, a clubbaholic, an eataholic, a music junkie, a traveler.
I love crying in the movies, love cookies and popcorn, love lazing at home and love making people laugh.
I'm addicted to Johnson's Baby lotion, to my mom's cooking and to sinful desserts.
I cannot multi-task, I cannot drive, and I'm afraid of heights but I enjoy rollercoasters.
I like to be around people with whom I don't have to care if they think I'm crazy drinking bak kut teh from a straw.
I've never taken the reverse bungee, never been to the US, and never dyed my hair pink.
And I want to go on an misadventure once in my life.
