Baby, I got the keys to the universe so stay with me.

Had lunch at IKEA with Vivian Phang after classes and we ordered our favourite salmon, and of course their iconic dish, the Swedish meatballs!

(A dose of IKEA goodness)

After two hours of lunch, we finally parted ways and I took a long bus journey to home (Clementi, to be precise. There's no direct bus straight to my house sighs). It was a pretty chill journey home, and I took this time to stone and clear my mind. Then, I decided to stop by the Community Centre on the way to grab a cuppa of Starbucks to reward myself for a long day at work.

(Starbucks)

What's better than having Starbucks to end the day!

Stars in your multitudes

Scarce to be counted

Filling the darkness

With order and light

You are the sentinels

Silent and sure

Keeping watch in the night

For last year's words belong to last year's language, and next year's words await another voice.

I'm seriously very proud of my sister HAHA. Five years ago, I received the AJ Contribution Award. Four years later, my sister received the AJ Outstanding Contribution Award. LOL, she is always one level higher than me. Congratulations! No monetary benefits, but it is the recognition that keeps us going uh! :D Thanks AJ for shaping me into who I am today.

(Homemade Pancakes)

The sun is rising from the West because the sister actually woke up early in the morning to make pancakes for the family! We managed to dig out leftover McDonalds maple syrup from the fridge, which is fantastic because they go well with the pancakes. Thank you for the 爱心早餐, they are yummy! I hope you wake up early everyday to cook for me. LOL. #notsurewhoisthe #oldersister

(Apple Flavour Burst)

Once again, Singapore's merciless weather sent me to McDonalds to get their ice cream. LOL, this time I got my all-time favourite, apple flavour burst! :D Cheap thrills, I really like McDonalds ice cream because they are cheap and taste okay!

And I'm back to my quest of trying out new restaurants again! Last Monday, I went on a solo date with mummy. We headed to Legendary Hong Kong (九如烧腊), located at Jurong Point, for some Hong Kong cuisine. We have been aiming this restaurant for the longest time possible, because the queues there are never-ending!

(Bolo Bun, Watercress Juice and Iced Yuan Yang)

(Beef Noodles)

(Egg Pudding)

10/10 will not recommend. LOL, I don't even know why are there long queues?! The food tasted like something I can cook myself (I don't even cook T.T). What a disappointment.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.

I had my NM4102 midterm last Friday and it was ridiculously hard?! The people who took the exam on Wednesday said that the way the professor phrased his questions was very weird, and indeed I was also confused when I took the exam myself. He kept asking us to identify variables but I cannot seemed to identify all of them T.T There are a lot of application questions as well, but professor you didn't train me well enough for me to answer those questions confidently x.x

(Chocolate Muffin)

Had some time to spare before meeting my friend, so I got this fantastic muffin from Hanis Cafe and Bakery located at the National Library building, and it was super duper delicious! It wasn't that expensive either, and the cafe's ambience is relaxed and pleasant.

On a separate occasion, I went IMM with my family and we had dinner at the Seoul Garden Hotpot, which offers an array of Korean dishes from hotpot to bibimbaps and jjigae sets! I miss Korea so much, the food and the shopping especially! Someone sponsor my air ticket please!

(Iced Ginseng Wolfberry)

(Japchae and Ginseng Chicken)

(Chicken Spicy Soon Dubu Hot Pot)

(Seafood Pancake)

The food was mediocre, and it didn't leave any memorable impression. The prices were on the high side as well. Hmm... 5/10 wouldn't head back again. LOL.

My family love going IMM because they have many outlet stores there. And guess what, my mummy just walked into Sketchers and bought a new pair of sport shoes even though her current one was just a year's old. Wth.

And when they dare to tell you
all the things you cannot be,
you smile and tell them
"I am both war and woman
and you cannot stop me"

Love is a losing game, one I wish I never played.

A module that I have been taking in school this semester requires us to visit the TCM clinic for our group project. We are supposed to document down our consultation experiences with the TCM practitioners and submit them in our report. I thought it was quite an interesting project because I have never been to a TCM before and this will really be an eye-opener!

But it was a really bad experience. LOL, we were kicked out by the TCM practitioner after my groupmate and I told him that we were students doing a report on the consultation visit, and that we need to take pictures to include them in our report. We wasted our money because we have to pay at the registration counter before heading into the consultation room, and he didn't even give us any treatment. T.T

Went back to re-register at the counter, and we requested for another TCM practitioner. They freaking charged us again for consultation fees >.< Professor, why didn't you liaise with the TCM clinic properly huh. Thankfully the second consultation went well, and the physician was very patient with us! He was very understanding when we said that we are students, and he even complimented us for our good Mandarin ROFL. Indeed, my eventful first TCM visit was quite an experience!

(Coolman Yogurt)

Cries, Lot 1 shopping mall closed down the fruit juice stall which I frequent, and opened this Coolman Yogurt stall instead. T.T They do sell fruit juice as well, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Thankfully they do have promotions every now and then, and that day I decided to try their yogurt. It is slightly different from Yole, but still taste delicious nonetheless! :D

Also recently I went for dinner with the family at a hawker center near JCube! Chanced upon this tzechar stall, and saw that they sell interesting food like lemongrass noodles?! Didn't take notice of the name of the stall, oops!

(Coffee Pork Ribs)

(Salted Egg Chicken)

(Lemongrass Noodles)

(Vegetables)

Sighs, I'm so tired recently. LOL, not that I should be complaining, but these days I cannot help but feel useless because I have been spending my days watching variety shows instead of doing something more productive like internships? Life really doesn't go the way we want. >.<

The monsters were never under my bed.
Because the monsters were inside my head.
I fear no monsters, for no monsters I see.
Because all this time, the monster has been me.

No words, just yours. And love and peace tugging at my heartstrings.

Food hunting at 313 Somerset today!

(Beef Don)

Brought my mum over to Gyu Nami, a Japanese restaurant, to try their Signature Wagyu Roast Beef Don! They took ten millions years to serve the dish even though I was their first customer, and I was getting quite impatient to be honest. Hahaha, but okay good things always come to those who waited, and I guess I tasted the most delicious beef don that I have ever tasted!

They really took much effort in the preparation of this. And I read online, they actually have a quota for the number of bowls they sell each day. Hmm, the price was affordable at $10 (regular) if you are talking about dining in town area. Will visit again!

(Say Chiizu)

P.S. The portion of the beef don was quite small, so we were feeling hungry again by mid-afternoon. Came across Say Chiizu, and finally had the chance to try this famous Bangkok's Hokkaido-style stretchy cheese toast! It really does live up to its hype, with the buttery toast sandwiched between molten cheese that stretches on forever. Super instagram-mable hahaha!

(Free fruit juice)

BOOST JUICE WHAT’S YOUR NAME GAME

Got myself a cup of free fruit smoothie from BOOST! All I need to do is to register my name on their website to stand a chance to win a free drink! :D Free drinks always taste good LOL! However, my conclusion is that 'the more the merrier doesn't always hold true'. I ordered the most expensive drink off their menu for the free drink (i.e. they blended more fruits), but it tasted too much and not that nice! T.T

Maybe we're perfect strangers.
Maybe it's not forever.
Maybe the night will change us.
Maybe we'll stay together.
Maybe we'll walk away.
Maybe we're realize we're only human.
Because we don't need no reason.

Dear old friends, I miss all the laughs we used to have.

Biannual meetup with Kenneth and Jordon, and guessed who got lost in Orchard again? Hahahas! Went to Machida Shoten, which is located at Japan Food Town @ Wisma Atria, for dinner as recommended by Kenneth; wth I swear he has an obsession with ramen because I am forever eating ramen whenever I meet him??

(Ramen)

This restaurant is famous for its 'iekei ramen', which basically meant “house-type” from the kanji “家”. They allow you to customise your ramen bowl, so you are able to chose your specified softness/hardness of noodles, the oil level etc. Yay!

I ordered the Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen, which is a mixture of soya sauce and pork bone broth. They have other flavors as well, such as miso soup base, but personally I prefer my ramen soup to tend towards salty for a more flavorful taste!

And the best thing? Wednesdays are ladies' night! We weren't aware of this, and the waitress did not clarify - she just asked me what drinks I want, and when I reply iced water, she gave me the weird look before asking me to choose between green tea/carbonated drinks. LOL, we needed to probe her to know that it's actually Ladies Night geeez! I ended up getting a free drink and a free scoop of ice cream, yipee! :D #cheapthrills

We talked about everything under the sun like girls and dating, and ohgosh not sure if Kenneth was drunk on iced water or what, he was super nonsensical that day LOL. And he simply can't shut his mouth and just continued talking throughout. But okay, he was super funny HAHAHA.

(Yoogane)

(When it is cooked)

On a separate occasion, Amanda and I went for a public networking session at school and it was quite useless in my opinion. We were still thinking why were there so little people around, but we quickly knew the reason. LOL, have always feel that networking sessions are pretty useless because I am 'unmemorable' so x.x

After which, we headed to Yoogane, Westgate, for lunch because they have lunch promotions! ~$15 after taxes for unlimited amount of toppings - it is quite a good deal to me! I think we sat there for close to 2-3 hours just stuffing ourselves until it was dinner time and we decided to leave LOL. It has been a long time since we went out to eat something nice, so I really appreciate the time spent together! *virtual hugs*

Listen to me girl,

you have castles inside your bones,

and coronets in your heart.

If he threatens you with battle,

you raise him a whole war,

the last time I checked,

Queens cower before no man.

You got me cornered and my hands are tied.

It is funny how my sister came home today and complained that she went Jjnjja Chicken (Bugis branch) and they suffered a blackout right after she ordered and paid for her food. Because this exact thing happened to me also when I was dining there with my friends a few months back. Whoa and they haven’t solve the issue yet. Such efficiency?!

(Starbucks 1-for-1 Promotions)

Starbucks recently had a 1-for-1 promotions and I wanted to try their new drink, Iced Shaken Black Tea with Ruby Grapefruit & Honey, but they told me that it was sold out. Whut?! I ended up getting Hojicha Frappe and Matcha Frappe in the end. It was a bad experience: the cashier/barista was quite rude, I told her my name was Angie and even spelt it out for her, but she ignored me and jitao wrote 'NG' and even tell me nevermind one. Seriously?! I am the customer here omg.

(Nabeyaki Udon)

Personally I prefer to eat Udon compared to Ramen LOL! Met up with the bestie Hui Qi for lunch at Ichiban before heading for our KTV session! Damn annoying because I had collected enough stamps on the Ichiban ‘Royalty Card’ to get some free side dishes, however I didn’t realise that it expired omg. The expiry date is like within 3 months when I first gotten the card. Walao siao, you think I so rich go Ichiban every week is it T.T Anyways, KTV session was good because we finally sang new songs (not the ones we always sing at KTV) LOL!

(Tom Yum Fish Head Soup)

Mummy cooked Tom Yum fish head soup! Not a fan of fish but I thought the Tom Yum tasted exceptionally nice! This is by far one of the nicer things that my mummy can cook, LOL!

(Cheap thrills)

Cheap thrills: $1 sweet corn ice cream cones from McDonalds. This one taste great because it was in the sorbet form?! Hehes! On a side note, I was quite excited for December because I just booked my air tickets to Japan for my graduation trip! *throws confetti*

你有几首很常听的歌，
有一些特别喜欢的事，
也有一群关心着你的人。
你其实很幸福，
只是你没注意到而已。
