EXAMS ARE OVER!!!! (: (: (:

and we have one and a half weeks of summer left to play! (:

shaun and i bought a coupon from deal.com

17 dollars for a buffet at a japanese restaurant (:


yay!!!! its was awesome!!!!! (: (: (:
i was very happy to finally get to buy a coupon, and it was really worth it!!

the place was really nice, and pretty quiet. i was quite worried there'd be a lot of people since 5000plus people bought the coupons.
service was fast, food was yummyyyy (: shaun and i ate a lot!!!
i only have some pictures, but we really ate a lot!!! we kept ordering food (:

I don't try to remember us but when I do, it brings a smile to my lips and a tear to my eye.

sigh, no matter what little disagreements and annoyance we have with each other, i am still really fond of my partnerrrr ((:

and like, i can get realllly annoyed with him always correcting me, or not wearing latin pants, but i still have a whole load of affection for him (:

he's still the most comfy to dance with. does it sound weird to say i know his body movement best? but i guess i mean im used to feeling how he places his weight, how he'll hold me etc.

we settled deciding we'll prob finish 4 years together, and he'll wait for me when im away on exchange. thats pretty sweet i think.

" Waiting for the perfect love?"

" No, even better than that. I'm looking for selfishness. Perfect selfishness. Like, say I tell you I want to eat strawberry shortbread. And you stop everything you're doing and run out and buy it for me. And you come back out of breath and get down on your knees and hold this strawberry shortbread out to me. And I say I don't want it anymore and throw it out the window. That's what I'm looking for."

" I'm not sure that has anything to do with love," I said with some amazement.

" It does," she said. "You just don't know it. There are times in a girl's life when things like that are incredibly important."

"Things like throwing strawberry shortbread out of the window?"

"Exactly. And when I do it, I want the man to apologize to me. ' Now I see, Midori. What a fool I've been! I should have known that you would lose your desire for strawberry shortbread. I have all the intelligence and sensitivity of a piece of donkey shit. To make it up to you, I'll go out and buy you something else. What would you like? Chocolate mousse? Cheesecake?"

" So then what?"

" So then I'd give him all the love he deserves for what he's done."

"Sounds crazy to me."

I like this very much (((((:

and im hungry again for dessert after these pictures!

was watching the most awesome ballet!!!! on america's live to dance!!!

and i was complaining to my sis, "why does america have so many cool people"

and she said "well, they have such a large population"

and i said "but we don't even have one or two ):"

and she grinned cheekily and said "well, there's me and you, that's more than enough"

(((:


sis can be so cute (:

CUTEST DANCE COUPLE EVER!

i forgot to post this picture that i really like (:

cos partner looks really good here (: he's happy and smiling, and his hair is nice (:

and he's wearing nice clothes.

oh, u know we argued for a while over him wearing track pants to training.

learning to lean on God's wisdom.

gosh, so stressed over dance politics today that i really cried out 'God, please give me some wisdom, and teach me what to do. cos everyone's so unhappy and im so confused, i don't know what to do or who to listen to'

and i think.. things actually took a better turn from there.

the project director actually called me up, and refused to give me more time to talk it through with the rest. (reasonable though, since we've been dragging it for so long.

i was actually super scared, and my voice trembled a bit at first, but it was okay. i decided not to care, and just decide things for the team since no one can decide.

and well, at least we sorted things out and have a better understanding, though its not settled yet. but at least things are looking up.


sigh, thank you God for helping me form words to say, and for helping me process this nonsense at like 1am in the morning, and for giving me friends like kim to encourage me, and giving me courage to answer questions being shot at me from like 3 or 4 different people.

actually im quite thin skinned, and i get quite upset when i am questioned cos i always take it personally, even when its not. but i think God gave me courage not to lose my cool or crumble and i think i clarified everything i could.


I remember jess always telling me about her stress as wushu captain!! now i understand a bit!! haha


God is the best! He's the smartest!!

lucky i have Him as an advisor!


lovelove

wow jasmine and family are here!!
and we played cards till 5am yest!

but it's a very addictive Jamaican card game!!

anyway, i got a really nice set of all hearts, so i said "oh, i am full of love!!!"

then my naughty sister pulled out the joker card i used to fill one slot and said "your love is a joke"


Oh no )))):

went out with bro to timbre today!!!
fun as always (:

and then there was this song dedication to celebrate jess and sherms's engagement!!!

and i got real excited!!! hahahah, the song was lucky by jason mraz, and by the time they got to the first line 'lucky im in love with my best friend' i turned to josh and went 'mmhmmm' hahah (: (: (:


hahah, how cool is that, jess should have been there (:

i wonder who the guy was though, whether jess is short form for jesse or sherms is short form for sherman


hahaha (:


IT'S A SIGN IM GONNA SPEND MY OLD AGE KNITTING AND KEEPING CATS WITH JESS!!!!!!!

Hmm... is that a pomfret?
