spiderpigI turned twenty around 2 and a half hours ago, but my family had my birthday dinner celebration at Vivocity's Japanese Gourmet City (or something like that) on Friday. It's one of those weird traditions that we have: Japanese food for my birthday and Thai food for my brother's.
So it was Japanese food for my twentieth birthday. Fitting, because I'll be celebrating my 21st (hopefully not alone!) in Japan -- if everything goes according to plan. I am terrified of fuck ups at the moment and I'm spazzing out at every single ting that goes wrong. Haha. But anyway
FOOD.
This is what I ordered - keema curry omu-rice; pork okonomiyaki; and blue soda. Well I didn't eat EVERYTHING by myself, that would be very painful. We ordered a whole bunch of other things which I haven't polaroidized yet so photos will be up later. Man. Such awesomeness. The 3 chillied keema curry was barely spicy so people who love fiery hot foods, it's nothing. Mmm.
Bought this cup at Daiso. It's the most adorable cup ever because the pig looks so forlorn. A forlorn pig cup! D:
Ugh. I'm tired and I need to continue studying.
I am in a fix because I am going to spend a lot of money in the next year. i) SEP expenses for a year is expensive (around S$24k at least); ii) I need to get a laptop, which is about $2000 (plus extended warranty and software); iii) I'll probably be going for a SEA expedition in June (this will be at least a few hundred dollars depending... but... I don't know); iv) Japanese class fees!
I really want to apply for the GWU-USP dialogue on Media and Democratization because I'm interested in it from the perspective as a blogger and as a pseudo-journalist but it costs at least S$1,200 if I get accepted. I don't know if I should even apply because it's going to put an additional burden on my mum, even though I'm sure that she'll let me go because she believes in letting me go and try new things when I can. :\ I don't know what to do. ): I don't want to be a bad daughter and spend unnecessary money, but I don't want to deprive myself of things (like, I've never been interested in USP events much until this?) because of money problems. Ugh.
I've been toying with the idea of getting a part-time job but my mum is against it because she knows that my grades will fall (hurhurhur, my mum is very confident in ADD lulz) and the extra money earned "isn't worth the fall in grades, especially since you want to get a second uppers" so... I don't know. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle a part-time job too, on top of my 5-6 modules plus HOOKED things. Urgh. Need to think. Hopefully the ads on my upcoming site can help out some way.
