I'm always outside on the inside.

What is happiness?

Happiness is when your CFO goes overseas for a meeting yet she didn't forget about you...

(Treats from Germany!)

Waseh! For a non-chocolate lover like me, I have to admit that these sweet treats are absolutely delicious. I'm in cloud nine. /blissful/ Hahahas! :D Time to hit the gym to burn off the calories /procrastinates/ LOLOL!

It has been close to six months for this job (they should hire me as a permanent staff instead of temporary rights!), and I'm truly loving this closely knit bond. My colleagues, superiors and bosses all took great care of me. To be honest, I am quite reluctant to leave this job (so why didn't they hire me as permanent T.T). There's nothing for me to hiam (嫌弃).

1) The distance's great
2) The pay's not bad
3) I get to enjoy aircon whole day
4) Sometimes I'll hitch a free ride home from my HR manager
5) There's always free food (eg. currypuffs, bread, chocolates, pancakes etc)
6) The food in my area are relatively cheaper as compared to shopping malls
(so I get to save quite a lot)
7) My superiors are understanding (I often leave the workplace 10 mins before my 放工时间 and they didn't dock my pay or anything)

(I believe it is the cleaner who did it to my table)

I'm sure I can still find more reasons, but yeahs, too lazy to think now. :P My contract supposedly will end in May (~ two weeks time), but I am not sure if they are going to renew my contract for another month. And this is bad, because I cannot predict what's in front of me (as in, whether I'd be jobless), and I hate this. 我的前途是未知数. So do I start my job hunt or what? T.T

But anyways, I still felt the need to reciprocate 他们对我的照顾. So as a gesture to thank them, yours truly got down busy to bake something small for them.

Zeng zeng zeng!

(Cornflakes cups)

Hahahahas, okay. It is actually super easy to make these. But then again, I'm an amateur baker and this is the only thing that I can do without assistance from my mummy, so... Hahahahas! (: And my close friends should know that I will shun the kitchen at all costs. :3 Ohwell, it is the thought that counts! 



I wanna be drunk when I wake up,
on the right side of the wrong bed.
And every excuse I made up,
tell you the truth I hate.
What didn't kill me, it didn't made me stronger at all.

I am under no obligation to make sense to you.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

(Ripped from Tumblr)

Types of people I abhor:

1) People with no common sense
I don't despise people who are not suited for studying, but I despise those who don't use their brains when they have a smart one. i.e. ask stupid questions when the answers are laid in front of them in an obvious manner.

2) Domineering freak who loves controlling others' life and telling them what to do
Those who wants others to follow his 'orders', to be at his beck and call. Hey, we are living in the 21st century now. Everyone's equal. I have my own brains please. I can make decisions myself.

3) Sticky pestering person who wouldn't go away although you tried all kind of various methods to shun them
I'm ain't a magnet please.

4) People with no self-confidence
He who is afraid that people may leave him and stop being friends with him, and thus causing him himself to have some psychological depression and became suspicious of everything as a result.

And congratulations. You hit all four 'nails' on the head. I cannot fathom why exactly you kept thinking that we ain't friends. You said I shouldn't act this way just because I'm tired due to work. But y'know what? Yes, I'm tired because of work. But I'm even more tired talking to you. Why must I undertake your interrogations?

Freedom.
The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint.

So stop telling me what to do. I have the right to freedom.


Don't confuse my personality with my attitude.
My personality is who I am.
My attitude depends on who you are.

There is no sincerer love than the love for food.

Needle in the haystack, limited edition.
Rare and original, indeed.
Thanks Vian ☆

(I love huggies)

(Smiley smiley)

Long overdued post, but thanks to le bestie for bringing me out to Lady M, Orchard Central. We have to meet up soon! Missing my cafe-hopping days. Awww, thanks for giving me something to look forward to after a long day at work.

(Eggs Benedict with salmon)

First impression: great wobbly eggs
I love it! But hahahas, the dish looks abit plain though with no 'side-dishes' at the side lmao, but it tasted great nonetheless! :D

(Tarte Au Citron)

My new-found love: Citrus tarts
I love the sour taste lingering on my tongue. LOLOL! I figured my favourite is no longer cheesecake, but citrus-flavoured tarts. ♡

(Vanilla Mille Crepe)

It smells nice, but a little too bland for me. I prefer something with a stronger taste; maybe I should have ordered the green tea crepe instead. But ohwell! The crepe cake itself is nice and I enjoy peeling the layers of it while savouring it in my mouth. :D

A short meet-up over dinner is what I need to revitalise for the week. 谢了! Happy midweek everybardy!


Another thing you should
Have known from the start.
The problems in hands are
Lighter than at heart.

You're my favourite kind of nights.

Simple, good and cheap.

(A little snack time with my mama last weekend)

I enjoy chillax sessions with my mother. She is my role model, my confidante and my soulmate despite being an annoying ass by ordering me around to do housework. :P I still love her all the same. But I guess I'll love her even more if she would stop asking me to do housework chores. It is really a chore! /cries/

Sighpie. I finally understood the pain of being a working mother (now that I've been forced to accompany her do her chores). As if working long hours is not enough, they still have to cook dinner the moment they reach home, followed by other tiresome household chores such as washing the dishes and clothes.

To the one who wakes up at 5am to cook lunch for me to packet to office, thanks for sacrificing your time for your children. You're really noble! /thumbsup/ :D I mean, not all mothers will wake up at such an unearthly hour to cook rights!

So they should make Mothers' Day a national holiday or something to reward their hardwork! (Using that as an excuse just because I want more holidays)

Below are just some pictures of my Mothers' Day treat @ Pizzahut to my beloved mama:

(Seafood thin hand-stretched pizza)

(Salmon with pasta)

(Gelateria)

I really love ice-cream that contains alcohol. New-found favourite flavour: Bailey's Irish Cream. Hahahahas! :D

Before the day ends officially, just wanted to tell this favourite woman of mine, thank you for everything. Love you plenty plenty ♡

I'm moving in reverse, under your mighty curse.
I hate myself for loving you.
I turn my head away, but my heart remains,
till the day I learn, you're no good for me.

Through chaos as it swirls, it's us against the world.

Moodswings up again.

I get pissed off easily when I'm tired (and yes, I am really super duper worn out recently). So don't come stepping on my tail and blame me for snapping at you.

Sighpie. But I'm always game for a food feast. Anytime, anywhere. Yay! :D

And I decided to give my family a treat. Hahahas! :D I have promised them a treat with my first salary long long time ago but it was only until now then I fulfilled my promise. Lmao. #badkid96

Keng Eng Kee Seafood
Bukit Merah

(Salted egg crabbie)

(Buns that are as big as your palm)

(Claypot Pig Liver)

(Cuttlefish with vege)

(明珠卷 that I find it soso only, but my entire family loves it to the max)

(Marmite Chicken)

My parents are so excited about this that they even took the initiative to glance through the menu and reviews before heading down to the restaurant. First time, first time. And everything we ordered are recommended. Hahahahas! (: And the best part? It only costs $104 in total. I thought the price was reasonable. :D

Good money spent, although $104 amounts up to approximately my two working days. T.T

P.S. My company gave me this tray thing to put on the table in a bid to clear my messy table. But I regard it as a burden because it occupies yet another space on my already-full table. :/ Sighpie. Can I just put it on the floor?


She's like cold coffee in the morning.
I'm drunk off last night's whisky and coke.
She'll make me shiver without warning,
and make me laugh, as if I'm in on the joke.

We'll never fall apart. 'Cause we fit together like, two pieces of a broken heart.

#happykyuziziday
Happy belated birthday leader Sungkyu!
(Birthday's on April 28, but I was too busy that I forgot x.x)

(The sexy)

(Album photo)

Sungkyu's going to drop the long-awaited solo album on May 11. Ahhhh, I can't wait! 8 more days hahahas. I love his voice like seriously, and his funny character where he always 'bully' the other INFINITE members just because he is the eldest. LOLOL! Loves.

So anyways, despite all the 'chaos' and hastiness this week that left me feeling blue, I am in high spirits because INFINITE just released their Japanese songs a few days ago. It was yet another job well done. Well, they never disappoint! /smiley/

(INFINITE)

I'm loving it although this time round the songs are quite different from their usual style. && Woohyun got a lot of singing parts this time (okay, he is main singer, so will definitely get more singing parts than the others, but then this time round he got even more singing parts than usual)! *fangirl mode on*

(Teaser photo!)

First row: Sungjong, Sungkyu
Second row: L, Hoya, Woohyun
Third row: Dongwoo, Sungyeol

(I thought this one looked super cool)

(More Woohyun)

Hahahas, INFINITE will have another Korean comeback later in this month. Something that will keep me going throughout the arduous month of May (because my workload in company is on an exponential rise recently, sighpie). I'm eggcited omfg!

~

Anyways, recently I've been thinking. Three more months left to university, but I have not accomplished anything that I wanted to. Xiaofang went for a birthday staycation, and is heading to Taiwan with her friends this coming month. Vivian went for a Super Junior 6 concert two days ago. Huiqi stepped out of her comfort zone and went to learn dancing. But what have I done? Nothing. Just shopping and singing and singing and shopping. x.x

Okay. I am having a 'mid-life crisis' now. Lmao. Feel like trying out something new that I have not done before, but I don't know what can I do. :3

Sighpie. 1am now. I just finished watching the latest episode of Running Man (the dangerous bride episode) to keep myself from thinking too much. The variety show was super hilarious I cannot. It is really a good remedy.


I'll make you a heart pendant,
with a pebble held in my hand.
And I'll carve it like a necklace,
so the heart falls where your chest is.
And now a piece of me
is a piece of the beach
and it falls just where it needs to be
and rest peacefully.
So you just need to breathe,
to feel my heart against yours now.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

The biggest challenge in life is discovering who you are. The second biggest challenge in life is being happy with what you find.

(Ripped from ewallpaperhub.com)

I've made some resolutions after A's last year. Hmm, more like a list of must-do things before university starts officially. However, apparently I've learnt that resolutions are useless. How many of us actually follow the resolutions we made? >.< I am a classic example. Three months left to university and I haven't completed any of my resolutions :/

~

1) Continue to pick up my electone (but I'm lazy to travel to Dhoby Ghaut weekly for the lessons)

2) Learn my ukelele (it was simply too hard for me and I often get finger cramps)

3) Join camps and socialise more (and I'm going to miss a upcoming FASS camp due to my Korea trip)

4) Learn driving (yet I haven't even pass my BTT)

~

0/4 accomplished. Good job, yanqi, good job. Lesson of the day: Do not procrastinate.


Well you only need the light when it's burning low.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know you love her when you let her go.
