Saturday was family day.. In the late morning, we went to Singtel Hello shop to change phone plans and to transfer phone ownership as well.. In other words, I start paying for my own handphone bills,which is good in a way, stop mum harping on my expenses. So now, I have free incoming calls. 100mins free outgoing, a whopping 1000 sms plus 20 mms, and I pay $30 a month, which is pretty good I suppose cos its a students plan.

After lunch at China square, stepdad and mum wanted to go to the BMW showroom. I was feeling very sian and just wanted to go home and do other stuff or just rest, but not wanting to be a wet-blanket, I just tagged along. Once I got there,it was a different story though.. the gleaming and sleek cars got me pretty excited and I just started snapping away with my handphone camera. I thought they were just there to 'look see look see' and they were asking the salesguy some technical questions,and being bored, I wondered around and came across a spread of food. It was pretty good,with mini-sized finger food and desserts like quiche, cream cheese tarts,mini eclairs, mini fruit tarts,cream puffs and even chocolate mousse and a whole lot more.. There was also a nifty coffee maker which dispensed cafe latte,cappuccino,expresso.... when I wandered back, to my pleasant surprise, they had decided to buy a car...Wheeee...hahah..I get to seat in a BMW again soon, and maybe drive it??? Keeping my fingers crossed. The model they chose was a 3 series and was a light bluish green colour which I approved of. I mean, white is so ugly,silver is so common and black absorbs too much heat. They settled everything pretty fast....

In the evening, dad brought me to a friend's party who was having it in honour of his daughter who just graduated with a first class honours in chemistry. Dad kept harping on and on about how brilliant all his colleagues' children are, all the president's scholars and all. And he told me that if I graduated with first class honours, or second for that matter, he didnt mind having a celebration for me as well.. I rolled my eyes and almost told him to face reality that his daughter is not as academically inclined and I don't even know if I can do honours at all, much less that...but I thought that would be like asking for it,so I just smiled.. Anyyway, the party was super boring, I didnt know anyone, and dad just kept drinking with his friends. I suspected that the reason he asked me along was that I could drive if he drank too much..oh well, so at least I got to drive,and it was quite cool zooming along the expressway, quite an andrenaline rush..

When I got home from Dad's this evening, I saw a bouquet of flowers on my table plus a wrapped package and it turned out to be a box of lindt chocs from my darling, but most precious of all were the words in the card that came together with it..I was so overwhelmed by it and it was such an incredibly sweet gesture. I guess it was to perk me up from my blues,which it certainly did. Its been a long 3 weeks, and another 2 more weeks to go,but yeah, I would surely hang in there, for good times and bad...I miss him an awful lot...
