episode: -> Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. <-
Nan de I have no Chemistry practical nor Mathematics maple session yesterday (both classes only on odd weeks).
I had 4 hours to slack.
Went S14-01-09 to use the maple programme to complete my online maple quiz.
Didn't know how to plot certain farnee questions out though.
Boo.
Got to re-do later today.
Met my Princess Gweny! ^^
She has grown really more and more beautiful.. :)
Too bad both of us forgot to take a picture together.
Because she was rushing to the Faculty of Engineering for her Economics tutorial.
She DRIVES okie!! o.O
She promised to drive us both to VivoCity one day to shop.
Haha!
Went Central Square after that to look for Stephanie.
She nan de decided to stay in school after lectures to research on her Japanese studies.
But thanks to her lousy phone and lousy reception.
I could not get through her at all.
Ended up strolling through my books paradise - NUS Co-Op!
Haha!
Browsed through many many books.
Psycology, Language, Law, History, Statistics, food and diet, non-fiction, and fiction.. etc.
Woah.
And came across this very interesting book..

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (Back)Cannot really read the words on the back of the book (so sorry, too blurry :Z).
This book is actually about a girl, Lily, who was quite a burden to her poor family.
She was an extra mouth to feed.
She was an extra mouth to feed.
Because she is a girl.
And her family is too poor.
But news soon arrived from a matchmaker stating that as long as Lily binds her feet small and flawless.
She would be able to marry herself into a wealthy family (a woman's eligibility was judged and determined based on the shape and size of her feet; the smaller her feet were, the more good luck and fortune she would be able to bring).
Lily would be able to change her family's financial condition with this.
She must undergo training, feet-binding, and learn the women's writing, nu shu (a language only women underatands), in order to prepare herself for her new life.
She also made a special friend, Snow Flower, who would be teaching her everything she needed to know until her marriage.

However, something happened, changing her fate (I wonder what happened :X).
Sounds really interesting right? ^^

I read around 6 pages into the book (didn't dare to read too much, because I was supposed to be looking for Stephanie).
It seems really good!
But it costs around S$12 or so (after all discounts). x_x
I went up to the Central Library at long last to find the missing Stephanie.
Took me so long to find her la~! -_-"
But it was very very nice to be with her.
Despite the short time we were together (I got Mathematics lecture to rush to).
I discovered that I can actually talk to her about alot of things, including certain issues that I simply cannot seem to bring myself to mention to my family or other close friends.
It is just so natural and comfortable with her.
The right frequency between us, Stephanie said.
The dazzling chemistry between us, I said.
Haha!
We click so very well with each other la. :)
(Maybe I should just marry Stephanie.) ^^
She said she was seeing stars in her Life Science (Genes and Society) lectures.
I said I was seeing (full) moons in my Mathematics (Calculus especially) lectures.
Dots.
When would both of us see the sun la. x_x
~ Beautiful Season ~
