i recognized the smell of chicken gone bad from our fowl dissection prac. lol

ack. sex and the city is released at the worst possible time. grr.

while exploring the wonders of facebook, i came across this nifty application..(yes, i embrace facebook applications)
according to facebook, there are 38 life experiences, and at 21 years of age, ive done 9/38 of them.

in 10 years time, i envision being able to tick of another 6-8 of those things listed, of which include:
-becoming engaged
-buying a car
-college graduation
-marriage
-voting in a local/state/federal election
-buying a home
-pregnancy
-birth of a child
and since im planning to buy a car, own a home, and have a child(ren), it should most definitely also result in
-receiving a loan

hopefully, after working for a while, i will be able to take time of to
-graduate with a Masters degree
which should then result in
-job promotion

who knows, i might even
-invest in the stock market
or
-quit a job
-career change

hopefully, i wont have gone through
-bankruptcy
-being fired from a job
-divorce
-being arrested
-serving a jail term
-surviving cancer
-receiving an inheritance (i dont want anyone i know to die)

and some things in 10 years just arent going to happen, like:
-marriage of a child
-birth of a grandchild
-running for public office

but you never know what the future holds, and maybe what fate has in store for me includes:
-making a million dollars
-adopting a child
-graduating with a PhD
-starting a business

it will be interesting when i revisit this list when im 31 and see how according to plan my life turned out to be.

one of the things i want to do before i die is to be able to play the whole of canon in d on either the piano or violin (02 mania doesnt count). this really is a challenge considering i dont know how to play the piano, and violin not even close to a chance. actually i only mention violin cos the strings version of canon in d that i have on my itunes is my favourite version (ive got 5 versions of it.. haha) ..other than that i dont really have a particular desire to play the violin..

i regret not having a skill that ive picked up since young..i took ballet when i was in kindergarden but gave it up in pri 2 or smth like that cos we moved and it was inconvenient to go to the class..something like travelling 40minutes for a 45minute lesson..never took up piano cos that was my sisters thing.. eventually, my sis didnt want to continue learning it..and one morning, i woke up and found that someone was moving our piano away..i asked my mum, we're giving the piano away? to which my mum replied, yea you all dont want to learn it what. but in my mind i remember thinking to myself that they never asked me if i wanted to learn it, so that's why i never said i wanted to. i guess back then when at such a young age, you dont form an opinion about something until youre asked. and when my mum told me to stop ballet i simply followed, cos i didnt know any better about what i liked or not..(or maybe i was just such an accomodating child and didnt know how to throw tantrums) although i think i do remember being slightly disappointed when my mum broke the news to me.. hmm.. maybe im remembering it wrongly, maybe i gave my parents a different impression from what i remember..

i don't know what the point of this post is..haha..maybe finally releasing repressed childhood memories is something i need to do ..or some mental smumbul jumble like that..

sometimes, what might seem like a bad thing, may in actual fact turn out to be a really good thing.

like not being able to buy what you originally wanted to get, and so you had to go for an alternative.

to put it all into context, i went grocery shopping with eileen yesterday night, and one of the things we were going to get was bread. but all the bread was gone!! so we had to search for an alternative, and we found turkish bread!! now, i know turkish bread from ormond sandwich eating days..and so we knew it would be pretty good. then i had my lunch today and i made myself a sandwich. turkish bread with smoked ham,mushrooms,cream cheese,cheddar, and honey mustard. toasted. and it was fabulous. the bread was awesome. (i think one of the best things ormond taught me was how to make fabulous sandwiches.)to top it off, i had a double strength french breakfast coffee. (cos when its single strength it actually tasts quite weak..so i halved the water instead of doubling the coffe, thus keeping my caffeine addiction in check)

so there you go, sometimes life might seem to give you lemons, but in actual fact they're strawberries in disguise

i need therapy
