Today has been a pretty uneventful day. Played tennis in the morning..think I didn't play too badly! My serve is improving too, which is good. Met jessica for lunch at clementi and ate at McDonald's! I thought I saw jean, who was in my cell, at macs but i didn't dare say hi to the girl haha. Went to buy my accounting and econs textbooks after that. Hope I didn't buy the wrong books, cos the international and US editions may be different. The books are so thick!! After that, went down to queensway to change my shoe size. They didn't have 8.5 (apparently all the 8.5 boxes only have size 8 shoes inside), so I changed my shoes to size 8. Bleah..was pretty sure I tried on size 8.5 last friday. Oh well. Had dinner at home for a change, and my mum brought carrot cake home! Yummy heh. I quite like home-cooked food actually (i'm not really that fussy about food..).
Anyway, I haven't booked my ticket back home to indo yet! My mum didn't wanna book cos she thought that I may want to go back this week. But looking at my schedule, I don't think that's possible. Haha. So most likely will be going back with her on 31 july (next Monday). But even then, she still hasn't her own ticket yet! (And mine too..now that it's more or less confirmed). But I'll definitely be coming back to Singapore on 15 aug. Found out that my dad will be coming to Singapore from 19-21 aug (Saturday evening to Monday evening), and that my cousins Nicole and Nathan will be in Singapore too. I still want to meet people another time before I leave, but I probably won't be able to go out much with friends this time cos my relatives will be here. Will be flying off on 23 aug morning (wed morning 7.20am flight!!), which leaves me with about 7 days only. Which means..no time!! Ugh.
I'm in the midst of reading Huiling's book, The Da Vinci Code: A Quest For Answers. It's quite interesting to see how the book counters every "fact" presented in the novel. But I'm reading the book on-off-ly and didn't really read the original novel, so I got lost quite often haha. Next up for me will be My Life As A Quant, a book which my comp finance advisor recommended me to read cos he thought I didn't really have any idea about comp finance. Mingwei gave up reading the book..that is such an encouraging sign! Haha.
