for four hours today i did absolutely nothing.

if my father knew what i was doing in between 'studying' in school,

i think he would definitely ask me to go back home to stay. haha.

not really nothing, but nothing eventful.

i took a while deciding what to wear; then i took a super long bus ride on 33 all the way to ikea.

i ordered meatballs and broccoli, daim cake and coffee, and sat at the high table next to the window where the sunlight seeped in, and ate slowly, as if i had all the time in the world. between meatballs, i listened to music, took out my sketchbook, and drew/sketched people eating, talking, laughing, frowning, looking away, looking at me. 

sometimes eating alone can be such a chore;

and i've always considered eating a social activity,

so usually if i'm alone i just grab a bite,

or just sleep/starve it over and all,

but today was special.

it's something i always wanted to do.

then i got up, after my second cup of coffee, and proceeded to get a ikea shopping bag to put the barang barang i intended to buy.

ikea has this amazing ability to make you feel at ease.

it feels almost/even better than home...

and it has the amazing ability to make you want to buy/find a use for everything they're selling.

even some random looking pot, or some brightly coloured kid's table. 

and lamps.

i think i almost wanted to buy every lamp that was marked down.

especially all the hanging ceiling ones! so pretty... sigh...

there's just something special about light...

that draws me to it, like somehow...

and i bought an apron!

i don't cook, but 

i can paint =)

now without staining all my favourite hall/team nus shirts! haha.

can't wait to use it while helping out at sets/rag. so exciting!

alright, 

shall try to study now,

goodbye!
