BABIES...


I honestly think that babies are oh-so-awfully cute; especially if they're mine to begin with.

Went to Poh Lin's house yesterday and as usual, had an enjoyable time with her. I think we'll fall head over heels in love with each other pretty soon. Lol! Anyway, Jing Che - her little toddler brother - totally charmed me off my feet. It's pretty hard to believe that it's been 8months since I've last seen him when the last time I was there to print my Major Project stuff. And now, 8months on, the lively and adorable boy is so much more stable on both his feet, and keeps running around bubbily.

I remember reading a newspaper article written by a columnist some years back who mentioned that a baby's brain is not unlike a bank. You'll get back what you've put inside years later - plus interest.

But you know what? I think that the human mind - especially and particularly a young child's - is just like a sponge. Good or bad, right or wrong, saintly or evil, the young mind just absorbs everything readily; irregardless of whether is it beneficial at all in the first place.

Children is such a wonderful and amazing blessing that's to be treasured dearly. And yes, I'm going to have at least 3 dozen someday. 2 dozen of them will form 2 separate teams, and have friendly matches with each other. The remaining dozen will form the U-21 talent. My Significant Other and me can take turns being the referee.

Yeah, right! Your head!!! 3 dozen... I'm not a sow.

Anyway, Jing Che's getting so thin. He has shrinked remarkedly and looks less chubbier. I suspect that Poh Lin's getting a little sicko and is starving him or something. Heeheehee! Kidding!

Enough of gushing about babies and my maternal instinct. Apart from those coo-ey cutesy pudgy chubby weeny little babies, I have yet another soft spot - watches. I have no idea why, but pawing the window panel and drooling at the glittering watches on display seems to be my favourite pastime.

I realized that at times, I can be such a procrastinator. My watch has been spoilt for ages, and till now, I've yet to get a new one even though I keep reminding myself so. I only realized how long I've put off purchasing a new watch when I had my examinations recently. Students need a watch to remind them of the ticking time bomb; especially so during examinations, you know.

And I'm such a fussy person when it comes to purchasing my own stuff. Either it's that the style does not appeal to my liking, or during the rare times when I chanced upon one which I really like, the price does not agree with my budget. For watches, I only wear those with silver chains secured with a metal clasp. It should, preferrably, have a long rectangular face. The reason behind my strange liking for rectangular-faced watches is that I've always figured that my face is already round enough; I don't need a round-faced watch to further accentuate it.
Yes, weird thinking, I know.

I'm just a weird princess, I guess. Lol.


It's the time of the year again. Just like for the past couple of years, I don't feel even a twinge of the Christmas-y festive "feeling". But yet, someday, I wish to have a white Christmas for at least once in my life. I yearn to experience the feeling of snowflakes caressing my face and cheeks, and I want to make snowballs and hurl it at somebody just for the fun of it. Anybody.

Whee whee!!!
