heartbreak...

2 days ago, my mom broke the news that her cousin, Sarah, passed away last month.

...it was a car accident in Hong Kong....

Although I barely knew her, I've heard lots about her. She was only 30. She has an amazing dad whom I call Singapore Kong Kong...someone I look up to.

Sarah's practically a stranger to me but the shock of this news was tremendous. The first person I thought of was my great-uncle. The grief he is now experiencing must be unbearable. Being a doctor who saves hundreds of lives, but having no control over...this...

I can't explain how crushed I am right now and how close I am to bursting into tears. What if it was someone closer to me? What if I wasn't there with that person? What if the last thing I said was 'catch ya later'?

Interesting week

Shall do this in an organised manner...

Oo Ooo....This song has been stuck in my head since summer when dad made me watch Drop Dead Diva. Shall share it now =)

Geeky-ness taken to another level

Pasted notes all around my room cause I haven't got a cork board...

And of course, pasting the computer with post it helps...
(Click on photo to see how I abuse myself out of temptation)

Survived on frozen chicken, peas, chips and sausages for a week...

...So proud of myself for resisting temptation. XD

If I can go 7 days without the computer - sit from 9am -12am (!) at the kitchen table studying for 3 weeks - I can resist temptation for ANYTHING!

Yeah...ANYTHING!!!
