} self empowerment

i missed 3/4 of the ellen degeneres show today! =( i got my brain mixed up somehow and thought it starts at 5, and i switched on the tv late so i only caught the last part. =( and sandra bullock was on the show! sigh sigh.

but i ended up watching my wife and kids at 5.30, which is also funny, so. heh. =D earlier i watched miss usa, the q&a part at least. and i caught half of frasier while eating dinner. haha quote frasier: 'why do they call it ovaltine? the jar is round, the tin is round.. they should call it roundtine.' =D

and all that might make it seem like i have done nothing but watch tv all day, BUT! in fact i managed to clean up most of my desk, throw out a lot of stuff and everything. a good way to make myself throw out paper is to keep telling myself 'i'll bring it to the recycling center', even though subconsciously i know i would prob end up being too lazy to go there. i also have a bunch of stuff to bring to salvation army one of these days, and i expect to have even more tomorrow since im not done cleaning up yet..

all in all, it feels good! my goal for this year (or at least, this half of the year) is to be able to use my table as a TABLE, instead of just a space to dump things.. then i can start using the spiffy stuff that i've unearthed over the past few days like a calendar and a small but VERY BRIGHT table lamp which i got for free. =) yay for uni/poly open houses!

and yeah, as i said, it feels really really good to be doing this. yesterday was so draggy cos i felt like the only thing i did was wait for things to happen. e.g., sit in front of the tv and wait for nice shows to come on, sit in front of the comp and wait pple to talk to me on msn, sit with my phone and wait for sms....... =| it was quite a pathetic existence, but now i feel empowered! haha. cos i know im doing something, and something productive at that.

but i keep forgetting to make my dental appointment. i guess i keep putting it off partly cos im scared too, cos i havent been to the dentist for so long and i think i may have to extract my wisdom teeth. oh no. =( i need to cut my hair too! gaahhh. shall wait til my mum finishes her exam, then maybe we can go cut hair together .. haha =)

and yay i can have instant ramen for breakfast tomorrow cos my sister wont be home to eat it first... 8D woohoo! sorry im feeling so childish now after going through a tableful of memories. heh.
