I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that its all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends wont know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I dont believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

-Everclear, "Wonderful"-

i really should stop procrastinating...

food for thought

last night, joanne, tian tian and i went down to bugis to visit the food for thought cafe. they describe themselves as a "quirky little indie diner where you can get great comfort food at a fair price, have fascinating conversations, find new friends and discover simple ways to give back to the local and global community."

3 girls who love God came together to do something fun, and give back to the community in the process. kudos to you gals! i was just telling joanne that it's something that i would LOVE to do... but never have the guts to do so. maybe when i retire... i could open a B&B and cook to my heart's content. :)

the cafe is opposite the national library on north bridge road. it's a tiny, cosy little place wedged between two retail shops... so unless you know it's there you might miss it as you walk past (or maybe i'm just blur.. haha). i thought it was blog-worthy, as i have to say that i love the philosophy behind the place. not to mention that the food is pretty decent, and it's a nice place to chill.. have a nice meal and catch up with old friends.

disneyed memories

mia and i were lamenting the loss of good ol' Disney classics last night. they seem to capture a kind of magic that can't be found in the cartoons that they show nowadays. sure, cartoons now are funny and entertaining... and sometimes touching... but they just can't beat the beauty of the ballroom scene in beauty and the beast, or the carpet scene in aladdin. maybe its just personal preference... or maybe its just nostalgia kicking in, but i wouldn't want my kids to grow up watching anything else. haha.

let me know if it's not just me.... haha...

here's the opening scene from beauty and the beast. it's my favourite! i've always wanted to be like belle... hahaha. i even had the whole reading while walking thing down to pat. i still do it!:

oo... and i really like this scene too. it's in the garden when belle and the beast are feeding the birds... i can't help smiling while watching this one:

i'm home

'so its been awhile,' she said as she slid her index finger along the dusty banister.

'missed me?'

her voice echoed in the empty hallway.

'i thought you would,' she whispered as she smiled silently.

'i missed you too.'
