packing, and packing and PACKING

okay, that is a bad picture. but i just wanted to show you my new uber cute dishes! there's mini office stationery in it. the past few days, weeks, i've been rather obsessed with packing. (i can hear andrew groaning already "OH NO! not again!" haha.) its like i caught a spring cleaning bug (or other bugs - been feeling under the weather lately). first it was sherwin's stuff (he has TONNES for a nine year old), then it was my room - some reorganising. got some box folders, files, mini files, stationery, ikea boxes, various found containers and re-arranged and packed stuff. then back to sherwin's stuff. it almost seems like i can't stop myself. and then when i've packed things, i get really peeved when the maid or sherwin or other people find or use things and just leave 'em there and don't put it back where they belong. they start to chuck things aside, and things start to pile up again. its so frustrating. i have a foreboding - i feel my perfectionist self creeping up again. and that isn't too good. i get very tired out when that happens. in secondary school, when i started making notes and thereby just started doing mindmaps, the perfectionism was so bad that i would re-do my notes just so they would look nice. it was more for the appearance rather than for making notes/studying. ahwells. there's a stamp "embrace imperfection". so i'm trying to convince myself that imperfection is part and process of art and life. so yea. :D

on the other hand, squiggletown just had a truckload of updates in the inked section!

here's a gator notebook for andrew...
school notebook for myself...
very in love with woodgrain see. 

hmm. besides notebooks and perfectionism, i've been getting alot of driving time(: been trying to fine-tune my parking, my estimation, sense of direction and most importantly confidence. i realise now while giving my friends lifts the immense responsibility that driving brings. andrew and i were planning some "us" time tomorrow, but the plans were jolted by the realisation that i have class tmr instead of today. ): upsetting. but we're probably going to still try and have some "us" time and do some fun stuff - hopefully of which there will be bowling and a run involved. (: oOohh! and a home-cooked taco dinner! 

exciting. (: okay, think i'm going to do some random embroidering. 

ttfn!
