suddenly very interested in baby names and so i googled.
found a few others (only names starting with be-. because i wanna know if there is any nicer names other than bernice. haha):
begum: princess (not bad though its sounds weird. maybe because i pronouce wrongly. but i am not tt lousy to pronouce it as be-gum)
bella: beautiful ( =) )
bellatrix: warlike (what a weird name and what a name for a baby girl. adding trix makes such a big diff to the meaning.)
bellini: little beautiful one ( =) )
bellona: goddess of war (ok, i think this is slightly better than bellatrix i guess)
beneta: blessed (this is the name given to me by my cc best friend. i always thought it sounds awful. but it actually means blessed. hmm.. actually i dun mind la. it sounds quite nice now. haha.)
bernabette: brave as a bear (OMG! imagine u r called bernabette. so u r as brave as a bear. haha.)
bede: saint of scholars (huh? will she grow up looking very nerdy?)
ok, boys' names now
beale: handsome ( =) )
beauchamp: beautiful field (haha)
bedros: stone (tts scary. what if he stones all day long?)
bello: beautiful, handsome (think this is the boy's version of bella. but i dunno, it sounds like buffalo to me)
benard: brave bear (HAHA. last time i used to think how nice if my bf is called bernard. bernice and bernard. but take the r away, it means brave bear. .)
bernard: bold as a bear ( ok, i actually wanted to be with someone as bold as bear)
bern: brave
berne: bold as a BEAR
bernie: bold as a BEAR
bernt: STRONG, BRAVE BEAR (HAHAHA. this is worse. not only brave, but strong too.)
so i guess -ber- means something to do with a bear. mine is bernice. luckily the meaning of mine is victory. but maybe because brave bear, thats why it leads to victory. HUH. i dun wan to be a brave bear!!!
my parents are always disgusted by the teddy bears on my bed. but they got no reason to dislike or even attempt to throw away the bears because.. they named me bernice!
i went shopping with my cousin yvonne on wed. i was so determined to buy all my cny stuff cos i am so sick of having to spend time walking around, trying clothes. its such a waste of time. not as if i m having holidays now. and i ponned my marketing and elective lecture, so better make my time well spent. i managed to get two dresses for my cny first day and 21st bday. not gonna deliberately spend time on shopping for cny anymore.
see our cute lunch! especially love the egg. the egg yolk can be a chick!
went back home and realised the sales girl got for me the wrong size. so gotta go back to the shop on thurs which is my free day. angry. i was on my way home already on thurs after changing the dress and realised the sales girl got for me the wrong colour. i m not gonna wear black on cny. my family will ban me from visiting and collecting angbaos. so i changed again and this time round, she got for me the wrong size again. ROAR! she told me its the correct size, just that the tag is printed wrongly. but when i compared, the difference is 1.5 inch. she told me they run out of stock already and asked me to get from their bugis branch. told her off before going to bugis. its irritating. i can spend the whole of my thurs free day at home doing more constructive stuff.
i dropped by pet safari on my way home after classes on fri. i remember my cc best friend said b4, i should put my face close to the dogs so they will feel the closeness or something like that. and i saw him putting his face near the glass. soooo, i found this puppy lying lazily with his/her face facing me and put my face right behind the glass. but he/she turned his head away. maybe its this puppy only. i tried on the second dog and he turned away too. so i decided to leave the shop immediately.
today after shopping with joyce, i went to my grandpa's place. my baby cousin knows how to walk already! and she loves barney. my mummy said she can stand there for hours watching barney vcd. hahahaha..
she keeps walking, that explains why her hair is so wet
this is her eldest bro
it started off with the idea of a lunch gathering.
and it ended like this. four of us waiting for bosco and others at the airport. til now i still dunno who he is. and happened that tanya will be arriving at singapore at tt time. so we saw her too.
i donated blood! for the second time. =)
I was in this masot b4!
my bag of blood. *proud*
today had marketing meeting. was late for 40 mins due to some reason and was in a bad mood. but, this trip out to city hall makes me happier. because, i brought my bubu and boy boy bear bear out. i promised to buy new year clothes for them.
lynette, wenxia, me+bubu, peiyi+boyboybearbear in the toilet
after meeting, we had lunch at soup spoon. or is it spoon soup or soup kitchen? cant remember the name. and then.. peiyi and i went to build-a-bear workshop to pick some nice clothes for the two of them. the feeling is so weird. especially when i was trying the clothes on them. its like.. wearing clothes for babies.
this kind of little little changes to the things i owned still lighten up my mood for the rest of the day. sometimes its able to brighten up my day for a few days =)
bubu and boyboybearbear (before)
bubu and boyboybearbear (after) so smart right?
me, peiyi, shopkeeper+her own bear
sat was the youth olympics games open space. the most enjoyable time was going up to 16th storey of national library. great scenery and sharon and i took a small nap up there on the comfy sofa secretly. we pushed the sofa to the glass such that the moment we opened our eyes, we are like above everything on earth. everything is below our feet.
and today went market with mummy. my stomach flipped when i saw those fish. its like.. i dunno how to describe. i dun even dare to carry those fish in a plastic bag. especially the fish head and the eel-like fish which resembles lizards.
pics of me and joyce at changi village having dinner. look at the chicken feet. oh gosh, how can u eat some other animals' feet. the moment i see the feet, i can picture the whole chicken.
i dunno if it is right to persist this time. i fear that something might go wrong. i fear that what others believe in will come true. if its a wrong decision, i will be the one solely responsible because i persuaded others. i told them that what they believe in will not happen. but other than this, i cant think of any other solution. no one knows whats the right decision. let me be the bad guy this time and pray that this will be the very last time.
tomorrow will be the first day of sch. i m seriously not looking forward to it because i dread seeing my school mates. they are nice people to talk to, but under the pressure of school work, no one is nice.. perhaps others think of me this way too. so, i like to be with people not in my school like wanli, joyce, fengzhi and my cc peeps.
went to ps cafe for dinner with fairy, servant and meizi on christmas... and then.. we watched high school musical at fairy house. mochi is sooo cute. pardon me for the many pics of me and mochi.
on the last day of 2007, met supernova peeps and we stayed in the arcade. come to think of it, when was the last time i stepped into the arcade.. more than 2 yrs ago? i m not an arcade person, even when i was in my sec school days.. and that explains why i simply cant play daytona and the mario game. we had dinner at katong laksa. =)
met joyce at city hall. last yr we also spent the last day together at st james. this yr, we planned to watch fireworks. we watched national treasure and b4 the show ended, half the cinema people were leaving because they wanted to count down. i dun mind counting down in the cinema. watching the whole show is more impt to me. but the show ended mins b4 2008. and we managed to watch the fireworks. =)
