Spend time with yourself. It'll be your greatest gift to yourself.

Another week at SMU, another episode of embarrassing moment. LOL, this time round I forgot to keep my namecard and left it on the table for a good whole 4 hours. I believe there's a next class, and LOL I didn't notice I left it there until I need it again for my next lesson. Blur yanqi strikes again hmmm.

Anyways, allow me to rant a bit. I was so, so freaking tired today. It was just Week 1 at NUS, but it seemed like Week 4 already wth. I already started my campaign project two weeks ago. And it was so terrible - we didn't expect to face so many challenges. I really feel like dropping the module (why the fck did I overload somemore). Sighs. Sometimes I realised I really like to dig my own grave.

It was exceptionally tiring because I had to run around so many places, between SMU and NUS especially. I purposely arranged it such that I only need to attend lessons at one school at one place. But how come I still need to travel between the two schools ah?!!

And I'm suppose to only have three days of school this week. But how come I ended up needing to return to school for six days this week?!? Arghs. I cannot deal.

(Xiao Long Bao)

(Zha Jiang Mian)

(Fried Rice)

(Dumplings)

(Red bean pancakes)

Throwback to dinner at Paradise Dynasty the other day. Ahh my favourite xiao long baos. Just recalled that during my Taiwan trip, I went to their main Ding Tai Fung for dinner and the queue was freaking insane. Guess who waited 2.5h for her turn?? Lucky there was other food places nearby, so we went for more eating during the 2.5h. LOLOL!! No wonder I come back so fat.

Some say materialistic,
I say appreciation
for the big, for the small,
for what was, for what is,
for what still awaits for it all.

Find a man that makes you feel like a little girl and a grown woman at the same time.

Finished my first presentation of the semester, and yay! I am finally down with one burden. Presentations after presentations, what's new in university life? But I am still unable to overcome that fear of public speaking in me. T.T What should I do to get rid of this fear? Sighs.

Today's presentation groups all did so well, and even though I felt relieved that I'm done with mine, but whenever I compare mine to theirs, I feel so insignificant LOL. Please, Professor Jung please be lenient because we were presenting on the first lesson and had nothing to refer to.

But really, why did the first group have to spoil market and set such a high benchmark?? And why did nobody ask questions for the first two weeks, but people bombed questions for mine. T.T Goodness, I really suck at thinking and coming up with answers on the spot.

(Salmon Sashimi, anyone?)

Itacho Sushi with Vivian again, what's new? LOL, we finally found the 60cents sushi after going there to dinner for numerous occasions. Zzz, is it we dumb or dumb? But despite us ordering the 60cents sushi now, why does the bill still amount to $60+?? Omg, woes of a poor undergraduate.

(Sweet and Sour Sauce)

Some special connotation for the sauce. I think this is a new flavour because I have never across this until now! It tasted okay, quite interesting that sushi can mix with sweet and sour (?) sauce.  

(I forgot what we ordered)

From my memory, I think these are the 60cent sushi and they really taste legit! (: Daebak!

(Smoked duck and salmon)

Who doesn't like these flavours! Hahaha, I think I will eat Itacho everyday if I'm a millionnaire. I really love their quality of food! But they recently changed their ordering system to some phone application which is freaking troublesome. I still have to download the stupid application before I can order wth. Why not just freaking use a iPad zzz. What if my phone got insufficient memory space!

(Curry prawn)

Hahaha I really like this concept, the sushi is just so cute rights! There's both head and tail, LOL. 

(Squid)

Ever since I introduced this grilled squid to Vivian, we have been eating this every time we go Itacho! I would like it better if they serve it less dry! 

(Lady M)

Lamenting about our lives over desserts at Lady M. Really miss her now that she is interning all the way at town, and the poor me is stuck in school. We are so far apart luh, hard to meet also (Okay, more like lazy to travel LOL). During times like this, I really wish I'm interning somewhere instead of studying. T.T But okay luh, grass is always greener on the other side. 

Ever since I started my Y3S1, my life just revolve around school. Sighs, cannot wait for recess week. At least I have more free days then... On a side note, I realised I am really friendless?!? Why do I not have any friends to accompany me for some school event!? Walao damn sian. Humans are also social creatures, I need friends. T.T

To the little boy who dreamed of
flying away with Peter Pan,
To the little girl who never failed
to wish upon a star,
I am sorry the world shattered those
dreams and carelessly labelled them
'growing up' instead of comforting you.
Your innocence deserved better.

The greatest prison that people live in is the fear of what other people think.

We don't even know where we are going. But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing.

(Flower)

Just found this ancient photo as I was transferring photos from my phone to my computer a few days ago. It was a flower given to me in my secondary school days by my then-secondary-4 Emaths tutor, Mrs Ng. She wanted to use the beautiful flower to encourage us to study hard for our O' level examinations. Wow, memories.

In university now, the tutors don't even know our existence, much less encourage us to study hard and do well. :/ How I miss the old days, where there is someone to back you up, and catch you when you fall.

Under immense stress now. Why is there everything ongoing at the same time?! I need a breathing space omg.

Maybe we'll meet again, when we are slightly

older and our minds less hectic, and I'll be 

right for you and you'll be right for me.

But right now I am chaos to your thoughts

and you are poison to my heart.

You're my harbour in the raging sea.

University Week 5

Omg, just realised that my mid-terms are nearing...

I was complaining to my O'weeker senior Aloysius about having mid-terms for three modules, and he replied with me "huh so many?!". Did I make the wrong choice in selecting my modules?!? But ohwell, there's no room for regret. I'm going to ace this shit. No more procrastination. *determined*

And I hope my determination lasts. Hahahahas! :/

Day 17:

Went for another Research Program (RP) with Amanda, and whoopee! we managed to get a total of 15/24 points already! 9 more points and I want to get it over and done with it soon! P.S. Realised that we super damn chiong, and I'm actually secretly gloating because others only have a pathetic 4 points. Hahahahas! (:

GES1003 lecturer was a little boring today but his interesting videos saved it. (: Happy day because my day was short - I only have this two hour burdensome lecture on the day, perhaps I will pon next week's. Oops! :P

(With my buddz for 6 years)

Travelled all the way to Bugis to meet my best guy buddy, Kenneth, for a movie. (: He sucks for watching Inside Out without me, and we ended up watching this not-so-famous movie called No Escape.

(No Escape)

(Hurhur, I wanted to watch this!!!)

It was actually fine, I guess. The movie was on this American family who went to Thailand (the father was sent by his company to work there) but unfortunately they were caught up in the Thailand riots/protests. So the entire movie was quite action-packed as it screened how the family tried to escape the war. The storyline was !@#$/^&*() uninteresting, and the fighting scenes weren't that exciting. :/ Feeling sore over it because I could have spent that $8.50 movie ticket on Inside Out!

But hey, this guy. He knows me best out of all my guy friends. Hahahahas! (: Even though recently we haven't been talking much via Whatsapp, I'm glad that we still keep in contact. He's the only guy who understands the real me, free of any facades. :D Cheers to our 6 years of friendship! (P.S. He's still as childish as ever)

Day 18:

EL1101E lecture today, and it was freaking important because my group is supposed to do a presentation on it during tutorial. I'm elated that we chose this topic (we actually anyhow choose one because we don't understand what are the options), and I'm proud to say that I actually understood much of the lecture. Cheers to a good start! *throws confetti and opens champagne*

And I really need to take a pill for courage omg. Went for my GES1003 tutorial without participating in class again. Arghs, yanqi buck up! There's class participation points, what the hell are you doing?! I. Really. Need. Courage. To. Talk. The opportunity must be right also luh :/ Sighpie. Why is this so hard. I miss JC days... Three more tutorials = three more chances to talk. I really need to up my game. I will, definitely will talk during my next tutorial. Arghs. Stress much.

No other activity for the day because I have too many things to settle. Like my GES1003 project. LOL, what am I doing now? Blogging instead of typing my report paragraphs. Hahahahas...

Anyways, on a side note, congratulations to HX for passing his driving practical. There comes my new chauffeur! :DDD

You got me treading on the water
'Cause I've never learned to swim.
Now I know that it's all over,
I better learn to start again.

I would like to be able to gently drift in and out of existence whenever I want to.

Happy 初一 guys! :DD

Woke up late. Bad start because I have to keep rushing around. But thankgawd I predicted this situation to occur (as usual), so I got ready everything the night before. Hahahahas! :D Smart me!

Not going to post ootd like everyone because I looked freaking weird. Like my face and hand postures and everything. And my super red dress that makes me look like a red tomato. First time wearing such a orangey red dress that till now I am still in shock. Hahahahas! (:

(So I will pose a we-fie instead)

Visit relatives. Collect red packets. Yeahs, the norm. Saw fascinating pineapple tarts with cheese on it that tasted not bad. But I was so freaking tired that I dozed off in the midst of eating 鱿鱼. Lmao! :/ Chatted awhile before heading home to lou hei! :D Hahahahas!

And that pretty much ended my day. Ohgawd. So boring. I want play Bridge why nobody play with me. && somebardy please teach me how to mahjong please!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Throwback to Kenneth's birthday. Hahahahas! (: Thanks for the 6 years of friendship. A great soul that made me realise that platonic friendships do exist! Hahahahahas!

So we plant ourselves in D'good Cafe @ Holland Village. Again. Sighpie. I am so freaking sick of Holland Village T.T

(My best buddy)

So I was rushing to meet him after my work but his guy over here was late for nearly an hour (55 minutes to be exact), and I was like exploding. But y'know I can't stay angry for long so ... T.T

(D' good dinner @ D'Good)

I did not treat him.

(Yummy Chicken Tikka Masala)

So he ordered this dish over here, and he was like some guniang (oops sorry!) and asking me worriedly if it is going to be spicy. Yup, the first guy on Earth that don't eat spicy like me. Lmao! Then I was like ._____. This dish is delicious, by the way.

(Fresh Prawn Chilli Aglio Olio)

Yup, I can take this level of spiciness thanks to the presence of my lovely cup of green tea latte. Hahahahas! (: I love how the enormous prawns are fresh (not the frozen kind), though the aglio olio just taste meh. Pizzahut better I guess!

(Green Tea Latte)

I love this kitty latte art. I love animals latte art. So kewt that I can't bear to drink it! Hahahahas! :DD I need a daily dosage of this omg.

Lay a whisper on my pillow.
Leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away.

Take me home where my dreams are made of gold.

Happy Birthday Woohyun! ♡

(Sweetheart)

Hahahahas! :D To the best singer with the strong powerful vocals, the cutest guy with the greatest aegyo, the talkative guy who never fails to brighten up the lives of his groupmates, happy birthday!

And yup, he's my ultimate bias in INFINITE. ☆ Cheers!

On a side note, this post will have nothing to do with food because somebody complained that my blog is filled with wayyyyyyyy tooooooo much food. I guess he's just salivating at all my food pictures. :P Y'know, jealousy. Hahahahahahas!

(Day out with my senior)

So I will post my pretty face instead. Lmao! :DD

It's been a long 3 years since we last met. Hahahas, he was my CO senior in Secondary school, and I guessed he had sort of watched me grow. Hahahahas! I made him sound old rights, but the truth is he is really old. :3

I still remember how my entire batch hated him because he always tried to sow discord between us and the seniors. Maybe not intentionally, but the harm was inflicted. And yes, it soon became a war where we hated the seniors and the seniors hated us.

P.S. I saw on Instagram before that our seniors and juniors went out together without inviting us. That's quite... hurting? But ohwell. I fell out with my Secondary school clique cum CO mates as well x.x

But yeahs, over the years, I guessed we have all matured. We are more rational, logical now. We learnt to look at things from different perspectives, and we learnt to let go. I guess that's the most important lesson that we had learnt from the transition to adulthood. (But I'm not that old luh hahahas, just that I had known this senior of mine for the 7th year now.....)

Yup so, I met up with him the other day at Holland Village for a dinner, and I was so shocked that he has become a changed person. Both visually and mentally. Hahahahahas! :DD He told me he has abs now but I took that jokingly. LOLOL, on a side note, I realised NS men love wearing snapbacks. Hahahahas! :P

Just wanted to say thank you for all these years. You have been a great senior, a great friend, and a great listener. 

My senior, Ang Gee Tat.

A weird name and I laughed it out and got into trouble for that when we first introduced ourselves during the first CO seniors and juniors bonding sessions... Hahahahas! :D

Life is not measured by

How many breaths we take,

But the moments that take

Our breath away.

The moon is so cold, there’s no place to lean.

Dearest lovely readers, I'm back again after so long. Hahahas! :DD

I went out with Vivian a few days ago to pass her her belated birthday present. Bought a super cute teddy bear! :D I think it is about 30cm and it costed a bomb. Seriously. Hahahas, we went Mos Burger because we are very broke (I spent only $3+ for lunch there) and chatted for awhile before rushing to catch the long-awaited movie: Catching Fire! Woohoo!~

Hunger Games: Catching Fire

My own personal ratings: 8.5/10

Hahas, the movie was awesome and the effects were super goood. The only negative thing about this movie is that super super abrupt ending. RAWR. I know, it isn't supposed to have an ending, but at least a movie should have a mini ending rights. The previous Hunger Games movie had a proper ending! Ahhh, I hate watching stuff that has no ending. #killmenow

Hahas, it was a great day with her. We went PizzaHut for dinner. Curry Zazzle Rice, recommended by Kaiyuan. Hmm, I can't take spicy and that baked rice was a little too spicy for me. Drown down three cups of ice water. Freaking dinner that costs me $14 and I was so broke that I only ordered ice water. Ahhh. Ate Macs' sundae with Vian, because I was too poor to afford Andersen, or even Baskin Robbins. Hahahahas! :DDD That ends my day.

.........

I went on a date with Huiqi yesterday. I think the last time I saw her was before promos. Omo! :( Felt bad towards her because I kept postponing our date due to my busy schedule. Hmm, went Nex's Fish&CO for lunch, and I can feel the fats in me because of the super oily fish and chips. I think I am not going to eat another fish for this time period. The portion that they serve was like enormous, and it was only priced at $9.50! I think it is more worth it than PizzaHut's Curry Zazzle Rice. Hahahas! :DDD

(Delicious meal at Fish&Co.)

Went AMK to seek entertainment. Hahahas, :D We wanted to sing, so we went Broadway Plaza for the Kbox. && it was so freaking expensive (because I don't want the Klunch package). I asked the cashier to calculate the total bill, and he freaking show me a calculator with the numbers 48.80. Mygawd. Two people only, why in the world must I pay that much just to sing for 3 hours?! Decided to pass and went pool instead. However, I felt insecure without any of my guy friend around so I pulled her away in the end. Hahahas!

No offence but I had always felt that the pool area felt a bit indecent. A bit eerie, and I always have the mindset that fights often occur there. Sorry! :/ Hahahas! I always need a guy at least to accompany there. Speaking of pool, memories of my seniors flood my mind. My lovely seniors, GeeTat and Nigel, taught me how to play pool derhs. It was stupid, we planned an erhu outing and in the end all of them were not free so ended up only we three. Since both of them are from the same poly, they have this pool trend thing, so they pulled me along as well. Hahahas! :DD Long time no text them already, a bit miss them x.x

Anyways, sidetracked a lot. To pass them, we went to eat ice cream. Awesome rum & raisins, my all-time favorite favor! :DDD And Huiqi's favourite, Hazelnut. Balabada~ Then we went Sembawang Shopping Centre to walk walk. (We wanted to go TeoHeng to sing, but their earliest slot was 5.30pm T.T) I bought her birthday present at popular, she wanted a notebook as a schedule planner. Then I found one that I liked as well, roped her into buying my next year's birthday present. My pretty schedule planner! It was quite plain and all, but just the type that I liked. It costs a freaking $9 for that tiny book. Omo! :(

Sang ktv at TeoHeng, booked 1.5h from 5.30pm to 7pm but I guessed they forgot about us and they extended the time to 8pm. Hahahas! :D OHYES! But I figured 2.5h is not enough for me although there are 2 only people in the room. Hahahas, I love to sing. LOLOL. Addicted to singing now. >.<

Ate dinner at Pastamania at 9pm. Damn fattening T.T I ordered seafood zuppa, while Huiqi ordered some chicken salsiccia, that tastes not bad but SPICY. Too spicy. Hahahahas! She was perspiring profusely though she is able to take spicy. LOLOL!

Reached home at 10.15am, I broke a new record. But my mummy was in a good mood, she didn't scold or nag me. But I hate myself for missing 30 minutes of my drama. Kinda addicted to this drama now, "Listen To My Heart". It wasn't very nice, but I need to know the ending. LOLOL! :DDD

P.S. I think the male lead is not bad looking. Not exactly very shuai, but still acceptable. But he is super white! Like Weina!!!

Anyways, I've been feeling super tired lately. Woke up super early to help my sister do her art. T.T And I'm like a walking zombie now. Omo. >.< Haish, I really need to start doing work! But first, let me eat lunch now. Hahahahas!

I wandered through the night

All night as I swayed with stumbling steps

Drunk off my black tears, I cried for a long time

I’m weak from being hurt by the scarring love.

Continuing with last week events, on Thursday, I was out with Kenneth, my best male friend (one of my best). Hehes, haven't seen him for a long while! (okayys, the last time we met was when he coached me Physics, one day before Physics promos) Hahahas! :D Anyways, we went to catch movie (Captain Philips) and played pool. Fun day! :D BUT I saw Stacy and Jones couple at Nex KFC, and we even caught the same movie as Lix and CS couple. T.T Worst day ever. Out of so many people, why must I see them. Ohgawd. Anyways, when we were travelling to AMK for pool, we met Yuhui on the train as well. Bleahs! >.< I think I'm never ever going to Nex again :3

My personal reviews for this movie: 7/10

It was quite exciting because it was about this kidnapping thing (pirates kidnap ship captain), it was quite touching in the end. But I hate how in the end the nice pirates were all killed T.T They were so nice! Anyways, it was based on a true story. So scary! I hope that nobody I know will be a sailor next time. LOL!

你相信命运吗？

我闭上眼睛，就会想起那个初夏。

想到我们的邂逅，就像是一场华丽的梦境。

我想，一定是命运让你我相遇，

将你送到了我身边来帮助我。

我相信命运，因为我一直相信那些冥冥中注定的东西。

对，我们要相信的是“相信”的力量。

正因为我相信摩天轮的传说，

所以才会经过漫长的等待以后，

终于看到它将属于我的那一格简单幸福旋转到面前，

打开了门，要请我进去。

这种力量，是你教会我的。

我记得相处的日子里，是你无数次告诉我：要相信自己！

。。。 我想念你。

Lost days, pictures fade.

I'm finally back to blogging after what seemed like eternity. 3 years man! *claps claps*

Been feeling a little stressed nowadays with the promos coming and stuff. Yup, life is never easy. But nonetheless, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! I'm not a mugger, obviously. I still watch my shows daily :D #yolo #notafraidtodie (On a side note: this week's running man was daebak!)

Met up with my secondary school friends during teachers' day. Missed them so much! 9 months of not seeing my favourite people in my life, namely vivian and yinton (and Peggy, who decided to pangseh us for her boyfriend). We should totally meet up again soon. KTV is a promise!

(From left to right: vivian, peiyu, me and qinying)

Yikes, just realised I forgot to take picture with yinton. Ohwell, shoot die me. Hahas, interesting lunch at Hot Tomato with them. After lunch, we decided to go partyworld to sing, yet it was full house. *sobs* I decided to went home early to sleep instead while they advanced to yinton's house with peiyu and gladys.

 (From left to right: me, vivian, mrs ng)

My favourite teacher in ZHSS! Presenting to you, Mrs Ng! I will never forget your warmth. I'm sorry teacher, the flower that you gave me as an encouragement to do well in O's, was so crushed in my bag that day, that my mummy forced me to throw it away. Nonetheless, I still thank you for everything.

And not to forget Mr Eugene Lee. I didn't manage to snap a photo with him though. He went off first before me and vivian could even meet him. I missed the old days, his lessons are all so interesting. Mr Lee is a comical guy, who never fails to make the whole class burst into laughers during his every lesson. Kudos to you, teacher! :D

Alright, I shall go back to my revision though I'm still not in the mood. Yikes. My life sucks. That is all for today. I really should go study now if I want to catch my drama at night. Keke! :D

P.S. I missed my juniors. Only managed to see yuying (we fight everytime we met), chingrong, zhiqing, kewei, samantha and marina. :( Where are the rest of you! Hahas. Davier, vivian was so sad that you left early!

P.P.S To my two favourite besties in the world, xiaofang and huiqi, I will never forget you two as well! :DDD

Lost days, picture fades.

Time flies, and soon we all grow up.

You will always remain in my memories,

My true friends, forget me not.

Whenever you need me, I'll be there.

I'll be there to protect you.

I'll be there to listen to you.

Just call my name, and I'll be there.
