If the city never sleeps, then that makes two.

Just ended my PL2131 midterm earlier in the morning, and I felt relief despite all the screwed careless mistakes that I had made. (No idea why I cannot remember the answer although I memorised that section of the notes already) :/ Ought to go bangwall. Seriously. And that's my first midterms and I had to go screw it up. Screw you, yanqi!

And I must say my PL2131 tutorial is really, really, really damn useless?!? Didn't remember learning anything and he kept harping on experimental techniques but I totally have no interest so my brain automatically shut down. T.T

But happy midweek, because I have a small achievement. :P Finally found GES1003 interesting because we did role-play. I was the complain queen and I made everyone laughed, so I guess this was quite a feat for me. (Y) hahahahas! And yes, I earned class participation points while having fun! :DD

Anyways, I'm on my way home now lugging my heavy bag and trapped in a sardine-packed train whilst having a massive headache and feeling like want to puke any moment soon. >.< Geez. I'm weak. Arghs.

Updated:

Feeling the pain as I just clicked cancel for my two weekend driving slots. T.T Arghs! It is quite hard to book driving slots?! I booked mine three months in advance omg, and I have to cancel it now because of other commitments. Zzz.

Stupid PL1101E mid-terms why do you have to be on a Saturday. I shouldn't be too ambitious and slot my driving lessons, music lessons and the exam all in a day rights. Sighpie. && burden Run for Autism volunteering, which made me cancelled driving lessons and postpone dental appointment. What life is this manzxc.

Sometimes I really do wonder if I involved myself in too many activities. From archery, to Project Embrace, to learning driving, to attending music lessons, to monthly dental appointments, to ad-hoc events like volunteering, to coaching my sister in her studies. I think my conclusion is: I have no life. Thank goodness yours truly didn't choose to stay in hall. I think I'll die from the hall activities and rich social life :/

Off to dinner at my current favourite:
Keng Eng Kee Seafood @ Bukit Merah

Eating is the only time where I have time to relax. Ohgeeez. :/

(Marmite Pork)

(Pig Liver)

(Minced Pork Tofu)

(Mingzhu Roll)

(Taro)

(Cuttlefish)

Good food, good company, good day. But my life is not good with all the hectic activities. >.<


All of the voices surrounding us here,
they just fade out when you take a breath.

And for the first time we'd smile.

Can't believe that I am actually blogging about my trip to Langkawi last June instead of studying for my mid-terms now hahahahas! *inserts sheepish grin*

Langkawi Summer Trip
June 2015

Day 1:

(Changi Airport)

Hahahahas, my fringe seemed to make me look 10 years younger LOLOL!! Recently, all the late-nights are making my complexion worsen, so much that I think I aged 10 years?!

(Our budget airline)

(That leg space)

Perhaps because I was situated at the emergency area, so my leg space is particularly big. Hahahahas! #luckygirl96 I had a smooth trip with Tigerair, no complains! And we reached Langkawi in the evening.

Some visuals taken from my walk from the airport to my hotel:

(The airport was super small)

(The number of cars there is ... speechless)

(I think it is impractical to put flower pots in the middle of the pavement?! Nearly tripped over one because I was busy staring at my phone)

Hotel for the day: One Hotel Helang
(~SGD90 / night)

It was just a 5 minutes walk away from the hotel. It is grand (compared to the other accommodation places), but I guess people will prefer to stay near the beaches? So the hotel was empty. I don't even see any guests around?! So errr to be honest, it was quite eerie. Hahahahas.

(The lobby)

(The corridor that they don't even bother to on the lights, I on it myself -.-)

(Inside the room)

The interior of the room was still okay! It was generally clean and spacious for a family of 4 like us. Although there was nothing much to do in the hotel room (the tv channels are all in Malay, which I cannot understand), we were just looking for a place to stay for the night. So okay luh! :D

(Night market)

We droved to this night market (I forgot what was it called already), but it was a wasted trip -.- There's not much stores there, much less food. T.T Sighpie. Hungry much :/ But okay, we decided to dinner at this restaurant opposite the night market.

(The menu!)

(Dinner for the day!)

Everything was great, the sweet and sour fish was the highlight! :DD I love seafood ahhhh. However, one thing I regretted about eating there is: insects. Got ten over mosquito bites all over my legs just from that one hour dinner there. Geeez! Disfigured T.T

Went back to hotel early after driving around for a spin. It was a tiring day! :/


Settle down my friend, we're inching closer,
reach your hand out to the finish line.
This will soon be over, it'll be paradise next,
its our paradise next.

It's too cold outside for angels to fly.

Cheers to the long-awaited recess week!

I thought recess week is supposed to a holiday week. How come I am just mugging at home / rushing deadlines? :/ Ahhh, what life is this. Why not just change the name to mugging week? I think I will feel better that way.

Anyways, stay-home Monday because I really need to rush my GES1003 individual assignment. Spent the entire Sunday and Monday on it already but I'm still not yet done. Suddenly felt that a word-limit of 1000 words is like quite little? Either that or I am too carried away and wrote too many irrelevant stuff. But ohwell, *makes a mental note to myself: I die die have to finish this by today, or I am not going to sleep*

Rcently I have no activities >.< Shall blog about a past outing with Vian that has been stuck as a draft for ages. Hahahahas! I think this was about 2 months ago? LOLOL! And I'm finally meeting her tomorrow, so feeling quite excited about everything. My first legit sleepover :P (excluding chalets)

That fateful day @ Itacho
where all hell broke loose when you put two insane people together
And I shall let the pictures do all the talking. A picture speaks a thousand words. Hahahahas!

(I really, really love salmon)

(I forgot what I ordered)

(Some salad sushi is it? Hahahahas!)

(Roasted salmon sushi!)

(Squid that we love it very much)

(??? But I remember it not being as nice)

(Ordered the mango curry don't know what sushi again)

I really really love Itacho. It is like incomparable to the other sushi shops. Just that, the price is also *ahem ahem* Sighpie. If only I am rich....

(Dessert over at blackball)

Speaking about Blackball, funny how I used to travel long distances for Blackball, but now that it opened a branch in Lot 1, I only ate there once. LOL! :D Psychological effect much huh.

(I can feel your halo, halo, halo)

(Missing this bitch much)

(Rocking the geek way)

(Just having another crazy moment)

(I think I look cute somehow hahahas!)

Went back to our favourite JRunway for crazy phototaking moments. I absolutely love their props, hahahahas! :D

The words you turned into knives.

Day 22:

Supposed to meet my friends for lunch before lecture (I actually can lunch at home), but they decided to 放我鸽子 at last minute and only informed me after I reached Kent Ridge. Wth. :/ I was a little pissed off because it was super time-wasting - I had 2 hours to spare when I can actually sleep in T.T


(Just found an old Starbucks photo)

After lecture, I went Starbucks to meet my EL1101E project mates. Ohgeez, the 'project' word is enough to make feel nauseous now. :/ Found the meeting a bit inefficient because errr I'm sort of grouped with a person who is very much into aesthetics (but aesthetics is not my main priority, it is more of getting the correct answers). T.T

But ohwell, we just sit there whilst she continued to beautify our presentation slides. I'm feeling bored and all but I can't leave the place. Sighpie. I'm just secretly praying that she would speed up so I can head home earlier :/ But she is a super nice person and I'm quite satisfied with our final presentation slides. Kudos to her!

Reached home feeling hungry and tired, and the horrible haze made everything worst because it caused my eyes to be teary and the stinging feeling is just annoying.

Day 23:


(Lunch in Utown's Sakae Sushi which tasted surprisingly alright)

Had an EL lecture in the morning and I'm so done with school. Hahahahas, accompanied Amanda for lunch as she awaited for her next tutorial class. Finally, I felt the effect of my timetable - early dismissals. For the past few weeks it had been horrible because I had to stay in school just to complete stupid disgusting RPs. T.T And I'm nearly done with everything, except for one last diary log for a particular RP. Whoopee! :D

Day 24:

Dress down day because I only had a two hour PL2131 lecture which I find it a waste of time to travel all the way to school just for this. T.T Why no webcast lecture Zzz. Went home for lunch and I enjoyed a two hour nap which made me so elated. My lack of sleep was compensated. Hahahahas! (:



(Had I mentioned how much I crave for Thai food?!)

Day 25:

EL1101E tutorial presentation and yay I'm done with my one and only presentation for this sem. :DD Kudos to my fellow groupmates, Amanda and Shujun, for their great efforts!



(Our first lunch together)

Went for another 2 lectures before rushing home to catch my tv show. Me is happy girl! :D

Day 26:

Met my O'weekers Alison and Rachel for lunch over at FASS, and I was quite upset with the NUS Internal Shuttle Bus system for their low frequency of bus. Shouldn't they increase the frequency during peak lunch hours?!

After which, I rushed over to Utown to meet Amanda for MS1102E tutorial. Yeahs, I only had a 40 minutes lesson that day, what life is this. Hahahahas! :/



I'm gonna pick up the pieces
and build a lego house.
If things go wrong, 
we can knock it down.

You were a moment in life that comes and goes.

(Ripped from imgfave.com/Pinkberry)

Staring at the mirror, I am surprised to see a stranger in front of me. She seem as though her soul has been sucked dry. I see a dejected face beneath that jovial facade. I see the pain hidden behind the constant smiles. I see blood, I see agony, I see black.

I see that she is tired. She is drowning in emptiness, in melancholy, in desolation. No one is aware of her suffering, but then again, she doesn't want anyone to know, to worry.

She says she seeks solace in her friends and family. She wants to thank her family for being there, and she wants to continue to be strong for them. She wants to thank her bestie Amanda for her accompany and she is grateful for the late night conversations with L. Currently, these seem to be the only times she is sure that she is still living, still breathing.

Pitch-black.

Life will be better, no?


Overtime our wires crossed
well you changed and truth got lost
All the things I would change if
we could only rewind.

You always try to see yourself through the eyes of someone else.

(Ripped from chibird.tumblr.com)

Things that I did for my last weekend:
1) Two driving lessons
2) GES1003 Project Meeting
3) Visit grandparents

These are enough to keep me occupied for the entire long weekend that I didn't have time to sit down at my table to study. Zzz.

However, I was pretty glad that I made time to visit my grandparents after so long of not seeing them. I miss the old days where I see them everyday (more than I see my parents). This time I went back, I felt that they had aged alot, but I still wish them to be in good health forever.

Bought my grandma's favourite Laksa for her even though she is prohibited from eating it. Hahahahas, some rules are meant to be broken once in a blue moon. We should enjoy life, you see! :D

Went for two driving lessons over the weekend, and I realised how sucky I am. Third lesson already, but I'm still learning to turn. :/ Omg, I really have no sense for driving. Why must they even have kerb there to let me hit T.T Bangwall much.

Visited the National Library @ Bugis for my project meeting (and I met Richmond for the first time since he skipped two meetings before that). Was feeling a little frustrated because Bugis is freaking far (why can't we meet in school / somewhere near school). Was even more annoyed when they decided to change the direction of the project, and this also meant that I have to start redo my previous work and start from scratch again. Omg bangwall again.

Anyways, throwback to some visuals of my dinner a few weekends ago. :DD It has been a long time since you see pictures of food on my blog. Hahahahas!

(Some coolers)

(Cream of mushroom soup)

(Favourite beef lasagna)

(Laksa-flavoured pizza)

(Aglio Olio)

And my comments: don't ever try the Laksa pizza. LOLOL, it is just. Weird. T.T

And that day I am just hungry so I ordered more. I don't usually eat so much one hahahahas! Really!


Sirens are screaming,
But I can't hear a single sound.
And I'm feeling uneasy,
And I wait, and I wait for a change
to come around.

Save your smiles for the people who deserve to see them.

University, please be good to me :/

Day 19:

First PL2131 tutorial with my tutor (previously it was the lecturer), and I'm super impressed because he remembered me and Amanda (we went for his RP the week before; to be honest his RP sucks because we were made to listen to 240 sounds for an hour and it gave me a massive migraine -.-)

Day 20:

(Starbucks!)

Because there was this free upgrade for drinks (Starbucks' member rewards), we decided to venture to Starbucks and yeahs, I felt that we were cheated in a sense. :/ Daylight robbery literally.

Ordered their newest creation Duo Mocha, and I had free upsize to Venti size but it still costed me $7.20?! Heartbroken ahhhh.

Went for lessons and all, before heading to Rotaract's installation in the evening. I thought that it would at least be interesting and many people would be present because it was my first installation and I was excited about it (boy, how wrong was I!) Escaped after attending 30 minutes because it was really too boring / time-wasting (oops, I hope nobody from Rotaract ever sees this)

Day 21:

Polling day today but poor me, I had online tutorial for PL1101E. What life is this manzxc. Friends sleep in / go out, but I have to wake up at 9am to prepare for my tutorial which starts at 10am (9.30am to be exact because the tutor only sent us tutorial materials at 9.30am, and we have to prepare) >.< Finally ended tutorial and shut down my laptop at 12.30pm, and yay I was free! Finally.

Went Lot 1 for lunch + tea with family, and I finally felt that I am leading a decent life once again. Cheers to holidays!

P.S. Stayed up to 4am to view the polling results, and to be honest, I am quite glad with it. :P #happykid96


You watch me bleed until I can't breathe.
I'm shaking, falling on to my knees.
And now that I'm without your kisses,
I'll be needing stitches.
