as i speak
people ask me... "how ARE you???"
my answer: B-U-S-Y!!
i'm not kidding!
but now, i feel like i owe a post, and after all, my new camera did arrive the week before last - which i totally neglected to tell you all! but yes, i decided to go with the ixus 100. it's tiny and cute. and takes good enough photos. so score!
i thought i'd post some photos to give a quick recap of what's been happening over the past few weeks... OTHER than uni of couse! =)
last month was mom's birthday. nothing quite as sweet as getting showered with presents throughout the day right? we got up extra extra early (and by we i mean rach and me) at 6am to make her breakfast. we then had flowers and chocolates sent to her office. followed by a homemade signed photo [below] and then.... a laptop! pretty good effort hey. =p
a few days later in april, it was jas's birthday! and because we're all such good friends, we spent the whole of friday "slaving" away, making cupcakes and a cupcake tower.
third birthday for this post goes to janice! happy 21st! but too bad that the clearest photo i have of all us girls has some random guy in it too!
last week we had family come visit from singapore. was pretty awesome. makes me remember how much i love having family around. so anyhow, weirdly enough we didn't actually take any group shots - well, none on my camera anyway! but i did get some pretty funny snaps of my 13 month old niece. she's hilarious! as soon as she gets into a car, she crashes. every single time! it's so awesome. but as it turns out, i'm such a bad auntie... teaching her to drink coke. it's totally in the genes coz she loved it. =p oh and she knows how to suck through a straw - that's pretty awesome for 13 months!
so with the last shot... of course, with the new camera, i just HAD to practice the self takes. and yup... i think i've got them down. =p
but all in all, it's been a busy past few weeks! and sadly, things don't look like they'll be slowing down anytime soon!!!
til next time...
peace!
xoxo. pheebs.

goodwill comes in...
note: i exercised goodwill today.
how... you may ask?
simply put, i gave in to my soft spot for fellow "starving" students making their way in the world.
hahaha. okay. so that's probably being slightly melodramatic, but the events of today seemingly highlights one inherent weakness that i can't seem to escape.
my trip to china over the 2008 christmas break reminded me that i really have absolutely zero skills at bargaining. again today, i can say with all confidence that i just don't know how to negotiate! see, i've been trying to sell my piano over the past couple of weeks and after putting an ad up on gumtree, i had quite a few calls. a serious buyer came to see the piano today and after inspecting the piano, we talked price. oh boy was it a bad idea for me to be there alone. lol. people say that you've gotta know the lowest point that you're willing to go to right? check, i did. but as soon as they said that the guy (who was like 17? 18?) was paying for it himself and was a student and only had $X saved up to pay for it and that they just moved into a new house and really couldn't afford much more, i said... okay, no worries. i'll do it for $X+100, even though it was less than what i wanted for it.
*haiz.sigh*
so i know i did a good thing. the guy was clearly a musician (he plays guitar and is learning composition, hence the piano), and i'm pretty sure that it'd go to good use. and hey, at least i sold the thing right? but the principle of the matter is still there: i gave in WAY too early.
ah well, it's a lesson for next time right?
;)
til next time,
x pheebs.
