The semester is finally over. It feels surreal to have nothing to do and be able to slack the whole day, though for obvious reasons, I cannot do that. My mother has already been nagging me to go and look for a holiday job which I absolutely refused. Come on, this is my last holiday, just give me a break. Besides, I have to go for Church camp from 18 to 21 December, so if I work, it would only be for 2 weeks, and who would want to employ people for 2 weeks. Anyway I plan to use this holiday to pick up some useful skills like photoshop and to play around with Excel, which is an incredibly useful tool, but has not been fully explored yet.

I had my last paper yesterday. Already, it feels like it was ages ago. I was so happy that the semester in over that I was all but jumping around in joy. Stephen, wendy and I went to Holland village for lunch. Wendy and I bought bread from Provence of course. I missed the Ogura Whip bun( with all that sinful whipped cream) and the walnut raisin bread so much. And I still miss it even while typing this entry. I think I am an incurable Provence addict. After lunch, Stephen and I headed down to Vivocity to check out the shopping mall that is the talk-of-the town.

It was huge and I felt like I would get lost in there. There were also alot of people around. Surprisingly since it was a Monday afternoon. Don't people have to work? Anyway, apart from the crowd, I kind of liked it. It's like a shopping paradise, though I am proud to say I didn't buy anything. I do need new clothes though. Hmm. Anyway we watched Happy Feet at the GV cinema there. And the screen was super huge, the seats were spacious and comfy and there was ample leg space to stretch my legs. I liked the movie alot, especially the cute baby penguins and the dance moves.

After the movie, after working around for a bit, we started looking for food. There were so many restaurants there, so it was quite a tough choice. We settled on Modesto's in the end as they had a 1 for 1 dining deal for UOB credit card holders, so it was quite a steal. We ordered a Primavera Risotto and a smoked salmon pizza. The food was really awesome. I loved the risotto which was so creamy and tasty, flavoured with saffron. The traditional wood-fired pizza was nice as well, with a super thin crust. And for dessert, we had tiramisu, which was alright only. I felt the sponge part was somewhat too dry, but the presentation of it was very nice.

I was reading my diary which I kepy from Secondary three to JC today and I crinched and crinched at almost all the entries. They were all about dieting, me being fat, my bad relationship with my mum, my grades and my crushes. Oh, the things I wrote. It just gives you goose bumps when you read back, and wonders why on earth would I ever have writen those nonsense. Think I should just throw it away in case anyone finds it. I would die of embarassment if anyone reads it. I was so incredibly boy-crazy and thick-skinned back then. I wonder how my friends could stand me....hahahah
