The leaves of the trees at Bishan Park have started turning red and orange, and the flowers are blossoming white and pink. It's quite a pretty sight, I didn't know they'd do that in our country.
Have been listening to "Havanaise" by Pauline Viardot. It's quite catchy, with lovely chords and all that, but I think if I tried to learn it, I would only be able to manage the first half. The other half requires serious coloratura technique, which I obviously cannot do! One day, maybe, but not now. Maybe in 10 years.
Went to lunch at Turf City with Mom and Dad today, to have dim sum at some Chinese restaurant. It wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't that great either. Didn't impress me, and just so you guys know, I'm a serious dim sum-eater okay! I don't really know when I started liking dim sum, but it's been this way for as far back as I can remember.

After lunch, we went to "Giant", but I didn't buy anything. Instead, while Mom and Dad shopped for last-minute stuff, I buzzed around this little honey stall in the middle of the fruit section. I looked at the pretty honey display, the different kinds of honey, the prices of the honey, and the lady at the honey counter chatted me up about honey. I hung around for a while talking about honey and how expensive Manuka honey is, and why I've never tried it. She suggested I buy some, and I told her I can't afford it. (Seriously, Manuka honey is ridiculously pricey!) So, she said she had an open bottle of it and offered me a sample. Dang, I've waited more than 3 years to try that honey, of course I took it!
And yes, it was nice. Soothing, therapeutic somehow. I liked it, but I don't think I can buy any. Maybe someone will get me another bottle of honey soon, like my choir girls did two years ago.
I've discovered a new animated comedy! Pauan told me about it this morning, and it's hilarious! I watched the first episode and loved it. It's called "Daria", and the main character is so sarcastic. She's kinda like Jeremy Duncan, the same kind of sarcastic teenager. Itching to watch more of it, but I think I should put it off for a while. Managed to do some Maths today, but not much. I hate how I seem totally relaxed on weekends and can't get myself to study. Will be going to V's place to play badminton tomorrow, for fun and exercise, so at least I won't feel like I've wasted my entire weekend.
I've got to work for my CD, remember?! They're watching me..
