I hope I had more time to blog but you know what happens when your body and environment are moving faster than your brain.

I never knew I could be so busy, and I really miss those days when I had nothing better to do. ):

Just for the record, I would be going to LA, San Francisco and New York in April/May 2010. I am really tempted to stopover in Japan but I currently have no traveling partner! I got a hundred and one decisions to make right now. With a deadline 3 days away, I really don't see much hope in my traveling plans.

It sucks doing it alone!

Penn Olson is doing great right now. Pushing hard everyday at the expense of my studies. Well, at least we've got our first deal! Managed to scrape through midterms unharmed but i am really just pushing my luck here. Always trying to convince myself that being on Dean's List once is enough. This term I had a lot of getting use to. Seeing myself fall behind people because of the business is slightly painful but I guess it would all be worth it.

Penn Olson made many things possible for me. I never would have imagined doing something like that. I got to meet successful people who are a million times more experienced than me. We have people who love the blog and are great supportive fans. Really thankful.

The blog sky rocketed in traffic and for being just 2 months old, I must say I am a proud mama. Still rmb counting to 1 million in rank and then 500,000 and then 100,000 and now we are trying to hit 10,000 worldwide. We have people writing in wanting to write for us and people who want to collaborate. We also have Yahoo news quoting us! No big deal but it's still cool. Really excited to see what would come next!

Now we are just trying to feed ourselves through advertising revenue. Was invited to Yahoo's blogger press release. Was learning all about it in school and getting to experience it was interesting. It was nothing big but we got to meet people from Yahoo and Ogilvy.

You are one of the best decisions I've made in my life.

I probably can't find anyone who can tolerate me as much as you do.

Editing an article is like carrying a baby for 9 months and out comes a beautiful creature everyone is going to talk about.

P.S It could have been more beautiful if the mother was someone else.

Here I am worrying about school, money and lack of time when my friend is fighting brain lymphoma right at this second. She is really strong and I am greatly touched by that.

When I learned about this, my heart ached so much. But I am sure she would be well again. There's so much waiting for her in the future.

I hope her stem cell infusion is successful.

Sometimes I feel that I am not grateful enough for the life I have now. The people around me are not exactly in great health but they are all so strong. I am not sure if I could have handled it as well as they did if I was in their shoes.

Everyday, I give my mum injections for her diabetes and I would test her blood sugar before and after she eats. When she was diagnosed with diabetes and almost lost her life, I broke down completely. I questioned faith and I questioned God. I didn't understand why all these had to happen to my mum. Isn't all her suffering enough already? When I look at her, it's as if there are chains binding her so tightly, never planning to let loose. I pray to God to set her free but everyday I lose a little bit of faith. When she was hospitalized I shook awake and realized how bad a daughter I am. Even up till today, I can say that I am not appreciative enough.

I am glad my mum is back to normal but she brought back home yet another bondage I detest. She made me a stronger person than before. This holiday may not have turned out as desired, but I learned and matured much more than if it was in any other way.

On a brighter note! Went out with my primary school classmates today! Some I have not contacted since I graduated from Primary 6! The great thing was it didn't feel like we were totally disconnected for that long. There was endless chatter and I am super thirsty now from talking too much. We have saved so much conversation all to be released in a few hours. As usual, they commented that I am mad skinny and poked my bones without permission. haha. We went separate ways for what, 9 years? and I am glad our paths crossed again today. So much gossip about uni halls and of people I hardly know! haha. Girls. Looking forward to seeing them again. (:

Nights now and Happy National Day! Early church service thanks to that!

Penn Olson would officially be up very soon and is looking beyond awesome. It is already functional so social media junkies can go have a read! It took a solid 3 months of effort and is getting pretty good response - even before it's up! (:



Went shopping with Kelly today and got myself Topshop underwear (briefs!, I know), snacks from BHG and facial masks from Faceshop (20% storewide discount). My pimples have been popping out one by one and my face is facing a losing battle. ):

Meiji Meltykiss 2 for 3.30! I think its CHEAP?

My pimple cure


Anyway, I always hate how people name their brands with stupid written all over. BHG = Be Here for Good things? Can it get any worse? Actually it can. Remember the person who named his child, "bus stop shelter no. 51"? (or sth like tt) I am not making much of a point here.

Got my mani and pedi done too. Love my mani color but my pedi? The manicurist mixed up my color and because I am almost always oblivious, my toes nails are now BLACK. My yoga instructor likes it though, so fine.

We also went to THE Ultimate spa wanting to make appointment but they were a mess. They had so many people on the phone and files piled all over the front desk. We went in, no one greeted cause they were so super busy digging around the pile of files. We presented our voucher and no one, NO ONE? knew what it was about. So they discussed and photocopied the voucher while I was rushing for yoga. Great. And their staff looked super unprofessional so nope, please don't give them any business, especially the people who got the Watsons voucher!

Before I go, here's one last thing I wanna say. I am a late adopter but for people who are even later, this product (middle anti frizz lotion) does magic to my awful wavy hair!



Okay back to writing!!!!!!
