my parents got me a new camera for my birthday, which was a really big and pleasant surprise! i've been complaining about the old one for ages and have been meaning to get one once i get back to singapore anw. so yes, but that was not all. my choice camera was actually a canon model, and when my parents saw that the pictures of the model they chose were not all that great, they went back and got me this chio-est thing alive! :) haha, k la. canon cameras are not all as chio as those super sleek fit-in-pocket types, but for the functions and technology they pack in it, this is by far very much the epitome of outer and inner beauty combined :)
i really really heart my parents. not so much for getting me pressies and all, but for the thoughtfulness and time and effort and HEART they put into that, into me. cant say how much i appreciate it, and how little i know i can give back no matter how much i try. gets to the point where i sometimes feel unfilial just BEING overseas. heh.
hmmm, homesickness alert. but nah, there's other stuff to preoccupy and worry about. after this assignment is over, theres my outback-australia grampians camping trip during the mid-sem hols, intensive mugging, and in no time it'll be the end of sem, end of exams, end of osces, end of house-searching and partying, and its back to home sweet home.
let's keep that balance of yin and yang.
